Mine was probably last night. I have recently got back into the game and haven't really explored any "new" region. So decided to finally go through to HRV. (Yes I'm that far behind!). Had prepared in ML and MT so was nicely dressed, fully armed and ready to explore. Made it through to HRV, spent a night in a snow shelter, explored my way to Twin Sisters Falls and found the local cave to pitch up and drop my things. Hunted, got myself a nice supply of meat, made some coffee for the morning. Woke up to a nice day and decided to have a wander..... Forgot to pick up my bedroll....my first mistake Found myself under a mountaineering rope, had some coffee, thought I'd try out my crampons, let's go for a climb.... my second mistake. Feeling adventurous, decided I'd go for the second rope too, found myself at Pensive Vista..... What a lovely spot....."*yawn* urgh, I feel like something is sapping my energy..."......oh dear. My third mistake. I'm now fully encumbered, light is starting to fade....I have no bed roll. Only one option, billygoat my way down, from a place I've never been, it will be fine! Make it down the first area fine, get to the second area, look over the edge... "Well this is high. Just go for it". Slowly but surely make my way down, sprain a wrist, no problem, bit of bruising, all good. Find myself on an overhang, just under half way up, can't turn back, no where to go. "Well it was a good first attempt to explore, I guess I'll try again another time" let go of the wall. Fall. Still falling. Crunch! "Minor bruising. Torn clothes". Check my status, maximum 2% damage to a couple of items. Lost a third of my condition. "Now where am I!?" No ... Surely not.....Somehow I landed literally outside my cave full of items! "Well that was incredibly lucky" - time for bed.

I have a feeling this is what happened to mine, I had a few wolf encounters while carrying it. I assumed that only my clothes got damaged in attacks, but obviously not. Thanks everyone for all the great answers, I may invest in creating another one soon as I'm finally planning on venturing to HRV for the first time (if I survive the looting session in Wolf Town aka Milton).

The moon shot was cabin fever, spent the night one the little ticket booth at the entrance, that was a tough few days. Spent the three days before recovering from 3 consecutive bear attacks (apparently I don't learn lessons easily). That damn bear took 4 arrows and 2 rifle rounds to take down! Not before the 3rd attack though, came round to a dead bear at my feet.

Hello, Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I had a quick search and couldn't find anything detailed. I have just repaired my bear bedroll to about 98%, went on an outdoor camping session for around a week maybe, in a snow shelter mostly (cave a couple of times). I have just checked and my bedroll is down to 8% and whilst in the shelter, not using it it went down a percentage while just looking through my inventory. Is it best to leave it somewhere whilst walking around? Does it normally decay this quickly when outdoors? My first one lasted much longer with a lot more use. Does carrying certain items with the bedroll make it decay quicker (like raw meat and guts)? This just seems a very high decay rate to me, and I am sure my last one lasted a lot longer! Thanks

Hello, new here but been playing TLD for over a year now. Really liking this topic, I remember the first few weeks playing this game, it was unlike anything I have played before. My tip is no matter how long you have been playing...don't get over confident, it will always punish you for it! Just yesterday I nearly fell to my death because I thought I could sprint across a log. Just wondering if you can be attacked by a wolf while you are sleeping outside? It has never happened to me but I always worry!
