Did another reset. In a few hours I made it from Elektro, all the way to the small hill north of Stary Sobor where there's the two deerstands. Current loadout: Ghillie suit, ALICE backpack, AKM with 2 mags, M1911 with 5 mags, binocs, all the survival gear I could possibly need, food, water, cans of soft drink, etc.
