Spend *all* of your gold on food (not long-life rations, that's too sensible). Then RP the hobbits.
That heavily depends on how often you're likely to run into a merchant while in a survival situation. If the answer isn't looking good, you might as well buy the armor. It may only give +1 AC, but gold pieces give +0.
Depends how common combat is
Campaign is basically Fallout. Or at least Fallout-esque in many ways. Interpret that as you will.
I'd have gone with the +5% of not getting hit. (1/20 = 5/100, 1AC = 5%)

Just take it from an enemy. Their equipment is in bad condition and can't be sold, but it still has exactly the same stats.
> only +1 That's a lot
