So, I don't understand how escaping works, sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't, it has happen with various vehicles and equip loads but I don't seem to find a reason, anyone know how that works?

Also should I be fighting more? as right now I just passed moscow and I have a 55-ish % of beating radioactive wolves when I find them using handcrafted bombs, 45-ish % with improved crossbow. Is that too low? Specially since I already saw "radioactive boar" in the enemies list and oh boy that doesn't sound funny.

Its clearly easy to see that explosives are the best kind of weapon but the most expensive, is it worth to spend all my effort into explosives or should I just focus on ranged weapons? or are fire arms better?

How much fatigue do you guys sleep at? I'm sleeping at 150-170 ish. I have tent and sleep bag I always lit a fire. Should I wait more??

Do you guys always try to be below a certain equip load threshold? Because I've been keeping it at 70%, no more than 75% and always setting a camp and unloading everything but the essentials before exploring and idk if that is a good idea or not.

Any help is appreciated!
