The Framepack is a handmade backpack built on a Pack Frame and worn on the back. It is a survivor's answer to a store-bought hiking pack.

Its strength is weight relief. It takes most of the weight of its load off the wearer, so a full pack feels light. It also holds a bedroll on its bottom strap. The cost is a small cut to running speed and a fair bit of work to make it.

The Framepack is never found in the world. It is made with the Assemble Framepack recipe, which needs a good level of Tailoring and a large piece of tanned leather. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Carrying


The Framepack holds a medium load and takes 80 percent of the weight inside it off the wearer. It sits on the back, in the same place as any other backpack. A bedroll can be strapped to its bottom attachment.

The pack slows running by 4 percent while worn. That is the same cut a Hiking Backpack or a Large Framepack gives.

Among the nearest packs, it sits in the middle. The Hiking Backpack holds 20 and takes off 75 percent of the weight. The Framepack holds 25 and takes off 80 percent. The Large Framepack holds 35 but takes off only 75 percent, and it is heavier when empty. The Military Backpack holds 28 and takes off 85 percent, so a found military pack still beats it.

Tailoring


The Framepack holds up to wear without patching. Using Research Craft on it teaches five recipes. These are Sew Small Leather Backpack, Assemble Small Simple Framepack, Assemble Simple Framepack, Assemble Framepack and Assemble Large Framepack. A single Framepack can teach the whole line of handmade packs.

The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Framepack and teaches the recipes below.

Each recipe that makes the Framepack is listed with its materials and the tools it keeps.

Locations


The Framepack comes only from crafting. The Assemble Framepack recipe needs Tailoring at level 6. It uses a Pack Frame, a large piece of tanned leather, six Leather Strips and four lengths of heavy thread. A sewing needle, an awl and scissors or a sharp knife are needed and are kept.

Notes


  • Research Craft on one Framepack teaches all five handmade pack recipes.
  • It takes more weight off than a Hiking Backpack or a Large Framepack.
  • The Large Framepack holds more but takes less weight off and is heavier.
  • A Military Backpack beats it on both space and weight relief.
  • Its frame and leather make it fuel and tinder for a fire.
