That's very kind of you, thank you. I give most of the credit to Misery for being a game that generates good stories!

Seems to me like semi-permanent camps will suffer from the same issues as PDA-marked backpack stashes: good idea in theory, but not useful in practice.

PDA-marked stashes aren't very useful because all the places where you'd want to leave one (i.e near key mission areas and far away from the main stalker base for that map) also regularly spawn dangerous mutants and hostile NPCs. You'll usually have to fight your way to your own stuff, using up ammo, meds and other expendables. That pretty much defeats the purpose of a stash.

Permanent camps look like they'll have the exact same problem - and since they won't have traders like the main bases, you're going to have to go back to those main bases regularly anyway.
