There's something funky going on here. If you respawned all the way back in the Shire from Eriador, then your settings are off. Middle Earth Respawning should make you spawn fairly close to where you died. Check the Middle Earth Respawning settings in the lotr.cfg. I pasted the defaults below. They're fairly self explanatory, but you shouldn't have respawned far from where you died. You can tweak them if you want it adjusted so you spawn closer. For the second night, it's possible you just wandered too far from your bed. I doubt you were more than 5k blocks away, but unless the bed was really destroyed, than you either didn't sleep in it, or you just wandered too far. Remember, placing a bed is useless. You have to sleep a time for it to save as a spawnpoint. # Threshold distance from spawn for applying Middle-earth Respawning when the player's spawn point is a bed I:"Middle-earth Respawning: Bed Threshold"=5000

# If enabled, when a player dies in Middle-earth far from their spawn point, they will respawn somewhere near their death point instead B:"Middle-earth Respawning: Enable"=true

# Maximum possible range to place the player from their death point I:"Middle-earth Respawning: Max Respawn Range"=1500

# Minimum possible range to place the player from their death point I:"Middle-earth Respawning: Min Respawn Range"=500

# Threshold distance from spawn for applying Middle-earth respawning when the player's spawn point is the world spawn (no bed) I:"Middle-earth Respawning: World Threshold"=2000

In terms of not dying, there are a few major things. Stay well-equipped and play carefully. You're obviously a fan of some degree of immersion, as you don't use fast travel, so try to play with that in mind. Would you really charge a horde of 30 orcs by yourself? If the game reliably let you get away with that, it'd hurt immersion more than fast travel does. Play it smart: hire troops, use a bow, kill an orc or two+run+repeat, etc.. In general, since you like immersion, try and think how you'd really act. Don't just blindly charge into a superior force.
