How to make a Hand Drill kit in DayZ

To make a Hand Drill kit in DayZ, you’ll need to scrape the bark off a tree with a knife. To do this, go up to the tree and press the button prompt depending on your platform and binds. This will begin the scraping process. Once you’re done ripping the skin off a poor tree, equip the short stick you found earlier. Then, combine the stick and the bark. The next step is to scroll down where it says Hand Drill kit, and then you’ll be able to craft it.

Tip:

If you’re having difficulty on the console, make sure you’re holding the stick in your hands. Then look at the other while it’s on the floor. This should do the trick.

It’s super simple to make a Hand Drill Kit in DayZ. Just remember, people will be able to see your fire from a distance, so be careful.
