Survival Reset Between Areas

[Avenira]

This is so upsetting. I finally get to good condition 6 days into survival and between loading from the cave to the winding river I find my game has completely reset!! All the items in my bag, things collected at the dam, my improved health, map surveyed and days logged - gone! Yet I'm still in the same location. My character is wearing different clothes too.

How can everything just reset between location loads? I never even logged out of the game and I didn't die.

I loved the campaign.  Now i'm a bit hesitant about survival if my stuff can disappear so suddenly.
