The Hiking Backpack is a sturdy outdoor pack made for long walks and camping trips. It is worn on the back and leaves both hands free. It is one of the best bags a survivor can find early on.
Its strength is a large capacity with strong weight relief. It takes three quarters of the weight off whatever is inside. Its cost is a small cut to running speed while it is worn.
Hiking backpacks are found in camping stores, hunting lodges and outdoor supply stores. Tents, closets, garages and sheds turn them up as well. The pack comes in several colours, among them red, green, blue and camo. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The pack holds 20 units and takes 75 percent off the weight of its contents. It sits on the back, so both hands stay free for a weapon or a second bag. It slows running by about 4 percent.
It adds a Bedroll Bottom attachment, a hotbar slot for a bedroll under the pack.
It beats most packs found early. The Duffel Bag holds 18 and takes 65 percent off. The Small Backpack holds 15 and takes 70 percent off. The Big Hiking Backpack is the step up, holding 22 and taking 80 percent off.
A found pack often holds trail supplies. Gum, Granola Bars and adhesive bandages are the most common. A compass, a canteen, a flashlight, a walkie talkie or a pocket knife turn up now and then.
