The Cheap Sleeping Bag is a budget camping bed laid out on the ground. It gives a survivor a place to sleep away from a house.
It suits anyone travelling or camping in the wild. Laid on open ground, it gives only poor sleep. Placed inside a tent, it becomes an average bed, which is a real gain for a camp. Its cost is weight, since the open bag is bulky to carry.
The bag comes in green and blue looks. It turns up laid out in tents, and its packed form is common in camping stores.
Using
The open bag is placed on the ground like furniture. A survivor can then sleep on it. Sleep on bare ground in the bag is poor, so a tent makes a big difference.
The in-game tooltip says it needs to be packed before it can go on a backpack. The Pack Sleeping Bag recipe rolls it into a Cheap Sleeping Bag (Packed). The packed roll is lighter and rides on a backpack's bedroll strap. The Unpack Sleeping Bag recipe turns it back into the open bag at the next camp.
Despite its name, the cheap bag sleeps just as well as a regular or high quality one. All of them give poor sleep alone and average sleep in a tent. That makes the cheap bag a sound choice when it is the first one found.
The bag also burns. In a pinch it works as fire fuel or tinder for a campfire.
