PERFECT! Thanks @BeanThruster that worked perfectly. I'll probably just write a script to return all of their gear since I'm definitely NOT flying missions out to all the planet, moons, asteroids, comets, and bases I have scattered around the system just to return their gear. My save file is 15MB and I have way too many Kerbals to do by hand. I'm assuming you got the "INVENTORY" tag data from another simple save file?
Thanks again!
