I have not used this extensively yet, but so far I liked the mechanic in general. I thought it was kind of silly before that mid-battle I was able to eat an apple to restore health. This makes resting and the gathering of supplies more meaningful. The one thing I did not see a way to do (using a controller at least) was to use supplies from the chest in the camp. I am not sure if there is already a way to do this, but I would like to be able to use the "send to camp" feature to send my supplies to the chest in camp, then use those supplies for resting without having to walk to the chest and add them to my inventory only to remove them a second later. If this was an option I think the mechanic is decent.
