I think the thing that irked me the most about losing all my shit the last time it happened was that I finally had all the "survival" gear (matches, hunting knife, hatchet)...
If anyone happens to get a second set of matches (that's the toughest thing to find) or another hunting knife, save it for me.
I plan on setting up shop near whichever base I spawn closest to and play mountain man hunter for awhile (i.e. stocking up tents with cow meat.)
