As Grounded is a survival game, you can die from various reasons including hunger, dehydration and falling to your death.
Once you die, you will leave your items behind and respawn somewhere else.
The respawn point may have been set to your Lean-To or if you’ve just started, at the first part of the game.
Here’s how you can retrieve your items after respawning in Grounded.
Look for the backpack indicator
After respawning, you will be able to see an indicator on your screen in the shape of a backpack.
You will also be given the distance of the backpack. Just head towards it and you’ll find it.
However, if you died from being killed by many insects, you may want to be wary going there without any weapons.
Once you’ve reached the area, just pick up the bag. You will be able to take everything back.
