The Hydration Pack is a slim backpack with a built in water bladder. It is worn on the back and carries both drinking water and a few small items.
Its main value is water on the move. A survivor with a filled pack drinks from it without stopping to dig through a bag. It is light, and it slows running only a little.
The pack comes in two looks, a plain one and a Camo one. It spawns already holding water. It is found mostly in camping stores and hunting lodges. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Hydration Pack holds both items and fluids. Its item space is small, so it suits a few light things such as a snack or a small tool. Items inside count far lighter than their real weight while the pack is worn.
The water bladder is its real job. It holds any fluid, and the fluid inside does not add to the pack's load. The character drinks from it on their own when thirsty, as long as it holds water. That works whether the pack is worn or simply carried in the inventory.
The pack sits on the back. That is the same place as a normal backpack, so only one of the two is worn at a time. A Small Backpack, a Hiking Backpack or a Military Backpack holds far more items. The Hydration Pack trades that space for steady water and a lighter load on the legs.
Sport shoulder pads such as the Ice Hockey Shoulderpads also clash with it.
Variations
The Hydration Pack comes in 2 versions. Most of their stats match, and the extra columns show the ones that differ.

Locations
The Hydration Pack is an uncommon find. Camping stores hold one in about one of twenty searches, on shelves and in storage. Camping store counters and hunting lodge counters and shelves are good spots too. Fishing storage counters and outdoor supply stores turn one up now and then. Closets, garages, attics and survivor safehouses hold them only very rarely.

Notes
- The pack spawns already filled with water.
- The character drinks from it on their own, even when it sits in the inventory.
- Fluid inside adds nothing to its load.
- It takes the back slot, so it replaces a normal backpack.
