The Mail Satchel is a postal worker's shoulder bag. It is a mid-sized bag that hangs from the shoulder and leaves both hands free. It is a handy first bag for a survivor who starts near a post office.
Its main strength is good weight relief for its size. It takes nearly two thirds of the weight off what it holds. Its main cost is modest space, well below that of a backpack.
Mail satchels are found on post office counters and desks. They often hold mail when found, such as fliers, brochures, magazines and parcels. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The satchel is worn on the shoulder, in the same body spot as shoulder pads. It holds a moderate load. It barely slows running at all.
It is one of a family of satchels with the same shape. The plain Satchel, the Medical Satchel and the Military Satchel match it exactly in space, weight relief and own weight. The Leather Satchel holds a touch more. A Duffel Bag on the back holds half again as much, but it slows running more. The Mail Bag holds far more, but it has to be carried in a hand.
The satchel suits a light scavenging run. A bigger backpack can still go on the back while the satchel rides on the shoulder.
The mail inside is worth sorting. Brochures, fliers, parcels and newspapers are the most common finds. Now and then it holds a skill magazine.
Locations
Mail satchels turn up only in post offices. Counters in the main room and in the storage room hold one in about one check in nine. Desks in the post office do almost as well. That makes it a fairly common find for anyone who searches a post office.

Notes
- The satchel frees both hands for a weapon and a light.
- Post office counters and desks are worth checking for one early on.
- Any satchel of the same size does the same job, so the choice comes down to looks.
- The bag also burns as fire fuel or tinder.
