Am I a masochist?
Literally this is the hardest game I've ever played. I've been stuck in between getting past the swamp area because I ventured into a new area by boat and there was a swamp next to a small plains biome. Foolish me attempted to explore the swamp and I was under prepared.
I died and the subsequent attempts to get my body were around 20. Finally I was able to toss a portal down and grab my stuff. But looking back this game seems to be the hardest game I've ever played. I guess I'm addicted and I literally want to explore every corner. I'm still on my first world. Don't want to make new worlds just to get easier mats or anything.
I'm addicted to this game because it keeps killing me and there's so much yet to discover.

I wish I could get that back, but yes, some of the best parts of the game for me has been when I've been backed against a corner and had to figure out how to get out.
One of the tops was when I slept in some shack that I had built previously, and subsequently sailed to another continent and died, so now I'm stuck in a shack in the middle of nowhere with out even pants on!
One of my main bases is in the mountains above me, but, of course, that is out of reach, so I just run through the night and evade everything that comes at me. Eventually I stumble across a boat that I had forgotten about and sailed to one of my bases, which reconnected me to my portal network.

Lol that's awesome. That's precisely why I play the way I do. You get into crazy situations! I still only have 1 portal goin and a lot of exploring to do. I wish I could get that back, but yes, some of the best parts of the game for me has been when I've been backed against a corner and had to figure out how to get out.

I've just come onto the forum to ask a similar question. Same issue, lost in the swamps and every time I boat in I get killed. There must be half a dozen rafts up there. I just want my stuff! The spawn point is way away from my main base and I've been trying the quick in, quick out method to no avail. Time for a rethink! I was ready to give up but reading these stories has re-energised me to have another crack!

Impressed by Valheim's difficulty? You should give Project Zomboid a try :)

In my experience it's faster and less stressful to do it well planned. There is no fast way out in this situation. I've just come onto the forum to ask a similar question.

1. Built a small outpost, get some food and at least basic armor, be patient and back up if things get to tough and try again.
2. Get back to your base and built new equip and than get back your stuff.
If it's better 1 or 2 depends on your situation.

That was a challenge and you were ready to accept it. You're a quite stubborn subject, so dying 20 times wasn't really necessary, but if you had fun and/or satisfaction of finally accomplishing it - very good for you. That is what most games are all about.
Some tar for your barrel of mead:
Keep in mind that dying removes some of your skillpoints(not each time, for as long as you have the skill removal prevention buff after first death).

It's not masochistic to enjoy a challenge in a video game.
I've played (but not gotten very far in) Dark Souls, so this is only the second-hardest game I've played when it comes to surviving -- and I love that it's difficult.
So far the hardest time I've had was when my friends and I took on the Elder in our first multiplayer world. So. Much. Death. A base was nearby, though, so we didn't have trouble getting our stuff back (only to die again).
And you know what? That is, to this day, one of the best and most fun experiences I've had in the game.
