I really feel your pain. I was in the mountains at night in the middle of a vicious snowstorm and fell down a cliff. I went after it 4 more times and used up all my armor and weapons. Lost my wishbone too. To make matters worse I didn't mark my tombstones (pre H&H) so I didn't know the exact locations. Rebuilt everything from scratch. Lesson learned the hard way. I still kick myself and cringe when I think about it.

FYI, about 300 game days later I eventually found 4 of my 5 five bodies and got most my gear. There's still one to go. maybe one of these days I'll go looking again.

Some deaths aren't even fair and shouldn't even happen. You should at least keep 1 weapon and your armor on death. Even that would be better. I like the slow progression and difficulty of the game, but stupid ♥♥♥♥ like this shouldn't even happen. Some deaths aren't even fair and you lose all your stuff anyways. Most of my deaths were caused by being trapped/cornered and having no stamina meaning I can't run or fight, leaving my only option as death.
