The Big Hiking Backpack is a large camping pack worn on the back. It is one of the best bags a survivor can find for long trips. It carries a lot and takes most of the weight off.
Its strength is the mix of room and weight reduction. It holds more than a regular Hiking Backpack and cuts more weight. Its cost is a small drop in running speed.
A bedroll can be hung under the pack. It is found mostly in camping stores, hunting lodges and survivor caches. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Big Hiking Backpack holds 22 units of gear. It takes 80 percent of the weight of its contents off the wearer. Running speed drops by about 5 percent while it is worn.
Compared with other packs, it sits near the top. A Hiking Backpack holds 20 with 75 percent reduction. A Military Backpack holds 28 with 85 percent reduction, but it is heavier and slows running by 6 percent. A Small Backpack holds only 15 with 70 percent reduction.
It is worn in the Back slot, which it shares with shoulder pads and shoulder armour. The Bedroll Bottom Big attachment adds a hotbar slot for a bedroll under the pack.
A pack found in loot sometimes holds trail supplies. Gum, Granola Bars, adhesive bandages, a Compass and insect repellent are among the common finds.

Locations
The Big Hiking Backpack is an uncommon find. Camping stores and camping storage hold one about one time in ten, on shelves, counters and floors. Hunting lodge counters and shelves are almost as good. Survivor caches hide one in survivor crates now and then. Fishing storage counters and outdoor supply stores hold one less often. Tents, closets, garages, sheds and survivor safehouses turn one up only rarely.
