Been modding the game a bit and to sum up, all items, hair and armor change various values, one in particular is scoutcraft. The lantern for example basically gives you away but increases the resources you'll find. Not sure what everyone's thoughts are on this but it reminded me of the NSFW image of Zelda in BotW where she opens up a cursed chest that automatically equips a bunch of gear that prevents her from using her mouth, hands and feet effectively and it's extremely loud.
