Bear coat or bear sleeping bag

My 2 cents on the topic: if you already have 2 wolf skin coats, go for the bear bedroll: it acts as a wolf deterrent (personally verified with the timberwolves, as well), has an excellent warmth bonus (when in good condition) and also offers a higher recovery rate when slipping (similar to indoor beds; the regular bedroll offers lower recovery rate). The tactical backpack makes it much easier now to transport it.

Giving the stamina penalty of the bear coat and the insignificant gain over the wolfskins coat in terms of warmth, it doesn't make too much sense in early game, when the bearskins are more limited resources vs the wolfskins.

Because of the high decay rate, I usually use it when going in areas without too many man-made buildings (HRV, FM, TWM, Ravine or AC).

Personally I'd choose the coat but only because I think the coat needs less maintenance!
