The PC that dies must be put at a disadvantage; as must the party that let the PC die. 1) Do you keep track of the party's encumbrance? After awhile all this gear is going to weigh them down. I sincerely hope they don't all have bags of holding.2) You should make the new PC start 1 level behind the rest of the party. This a) is not that harsh and b) will make the PCs avoid death to a greater degree. 3) If you are not ballsy enough to tell your group "I am the DM and this current situation is BS", then perhaps you need to have a mighty and stealthy wizard descend upon the party in gaseous form while they are sleeping, materialize, cast power word: sleep on anyone that is keeping watch (or hell, all of them) and STEAL ALL THEIR CRAP....because they obviously do not deserve it.  And if you think THIS is not going to anger them, well, it will. But it sounds like you are afraid to talk to your own group and tell them to stop screwing up the game....so here is an alternate solution.</blockquote>
