Is the bearskin coat worth crafting?
For me it is not worth crafting because it helps a little bit in PV and I settled in ML so it will not be very useful.

The bear bedroll might be more valuable to you long term. I haven't made a bearskin coat yet but the bedroll, although heavy, is pretty impressive in terms of a warm place to sleep

The bearskin coat and bearskin bedroll are both very heavy it questions it worth

True, but if you are going on a long trip where you will be caught outside the bearskin beadroll is worht the extra 2 kilos. If you are running around a small map then its best left at base.

Wolfskin coat is good enough and easier to keep it in good condition.

I wear two bearskin coats, I think it's worth it. And I'm not overweight because I sacrafice gear that I don't really need.

But if you aren't playing interloper, then you probably can't make use of all that extra warmth anyway.

I am wondering the same thing, the only reason I want it is because I am tired of being attacked by wolves while trying to get to the summit and gointhrough Crumbling Highway to get to DP

You can't rely on coats to keep you safe from wolf attacks. They don't run off that often.

So you're sleeping in it outside, and without fire? Is this working out well?

My two cents: I sleep in the back of caves, on interloper, no fire, for weeks on end, through blizzards, in a cloth bedroll and it's plenty warm.

I make a fires but I don't always have enough wood to keep them going all night or wind blows them out...\i am sure everyone can relate to this. The bear bedroll will keep you warm in most instances when this happens and you don't awaken with a hypothermia warning in the middle of the night.

warmth isnt the only reason to have it though.. protection. if you do get into a wolf struggle its likely you will take no damage at all from it. depends on if you are bad at avoding wolves or killing them before they see you.

I may craft the bedroll first this run because I have yet to find a cloth one, and it's nice to have one.

i think that blasted climbing rope is the heaviest thing, i discard it as soon as I get a chance.

bear coat rulz, bear bedroll droolz.

also for the record, since Defense and windproof value do not function on the inner layer, i use 1x bearskin and 1x wolfskin with the wolf on the interior layer for the reduced weight.
