the entire "Dieing and losing stuff/Progress" thing is why i always take the time to get extra resources to make sure that i can at least get myself some gear before going to get my body and get whatever items on it that i actually need to have and cannot lose. always keep extra equipment at Base so that you KNOW that, IF you die, you have at least some geat that can keep you somewhat safe if/when you decided to get your stuff from your corpse.
