ANY time you die, the first thing you should always do is open the map and MARK the death location (double click map to add icon) even though the default death icon should be there, mark the map with your OWN marker.. If you die again (before you recover your gear) the original death marker will disappear and move to the new death spot, (which makes you lose track of where to get your gear back). IF you have marked your map yourself, you will still have the original location, if you happen to die on the way back to get your gear.

I know this doesn't help AFTER you have lost your death location, but for future reference... Mark your map when you die.

I think this may be incorrect.

Last week I had a furling raid on my poorly defended base and died 4 times before the foolish Berzerkers trashed my wolf breeder. Needless to say that turned them all into wolf p**p in short order. After reclaiming my gear on the tombstones (I had backup armor and weapons on them) I looked at my map and there were 4 little skull and crossbones still splashed over my base...
