That is pretty much what you do, though. If you're taking on 2-3 fulings at once or the wayward deathsquito then I trust you can win those fights without being hit. Just pop Bone...mass when it's time to take on a village or you get ambushed, get your flax farm going early and soon you'll have even better armor.
