Degradation of worn items

[hozz1235]

Whoa...I've spent 4 days in Thomson's Crossing looting the houses and sleeping at the fire barrel near the church to prevent cabin fever and I just happen to look at my worn gear and it is seriously become degraded!  WAY faster than should be happening from just sleeping in it.  Is it because I am sleeping outside near a fire?  In my 1300+ day run, I've never seen gear degrade so quickly.  ?

Yeah it’s crazy sometimes. It might have something to do with blizzards degrading clothing regardless of whether you have cover or not but I am not sure.

I once read a book by a fire in cover while a blizzard raged. My clothes fell apart in no time.
