I dunno. The whole appeal of survival was that you had to start from scratch and build yourself back up. if you can just use your existing gear, what would even be the point? You may as well just go play in the ODZ then.
Plus the added tension of the storm-torn city and a desperate fight for your life didn't hurt either.
