The Improvised Tent Kit is a rough shelter made from a tarp stretched over sticks. This is the unpacked kit, ready to set up as a tent. It gives a survivor a place to sleep away from a base.
It suits early travel and camping in the wild. Its strength is how simple it is to make from basic gear. Its cost is weight, since the unpacked kit is heavy to carry.
The kit is crafted from a Tarp, tent pegs and wood. It does not appear in loot.
Using
The unpacked kit is the form that can be placed and used. Once set up, it serves as a shelter for sleeping. The in-game tooltip says an unpacked sleeping bag or a mattress placed inside raises sleeping comfort.
Make Tent Kit needs no skill. It takes a Tarp and four tent pegs. It also takes two Wooden Rod or Tree Branch and a Long Stick or Sapling.
The kit must be packed before it can ride on a backpack. Pack Tent turns it into the Improvised Tent Kit (Packed). That form weighs half as much and straps onto a bag. Unpack Tent reverses it at the next camp.
The plain Tent Kit is lighter in both forms than this improvised one. The Tent Kit weighs 6 unpacked and 3 packed.
