The Leather Shelter is a basic camp shelter covered with a large tanned hide. The in-game tooltip calls it a basic shelter which can be slept in.

It sits in the Outdoors part of the Building menu and comes in a single version. It is a wilderness build, made from logs, stones, sticks and a large hide. It gives a survivor a place to sleep away from a house. That suits a hunter or trapper who lives off the land. The Tarp Shelter is the same idea with a Tarp in place of the hide. Choose whichever cover is easier to find.

How to Build Leather Shelter


The recipe is known from the start. Any builder can make it at any skill level.

It takes four Log and four Stone for the base. Two Tree Branch or Wooden Rod and one Long Stick or Sapling form the frame. Two lengths of binding hold it together. Rag, Twine, Rope or Sheet Rope all work as binding. The cover is one large tanned leather, either crude tanned or fur tanned.

The large hide is the hardest part to get. It comes from tanning the skin of a large animal. Logs come from chopping trees, and the rest can be gathered in the woods.

The build is quick. It is a good first shelter for a camp far from town.

It needs no skill level.

How to Use Leather Shelter


The shelter can be slept in. That gives a place to rest at a remote camp.

Place it on open ground at the camp. Keep a fire nearby for cooking and warmth.

Notes


  • The tooltip says it can be slept in.
