The Military Satchel is an army shoulder bag. It is a mid-sized bag that hangs from the shoulder and leaves both hands free. It often comes with useful army gear inside.
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.
Military satchels are a very common find in army surplus stores and pawn shops. The loot tables place them in those two shops alone. 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 and barely slows running at all. A backpack can still go on the back at the same time.
It belongs to a family of satchels with the same shape. The plain Satchel, the Mail Satchel and the Medical 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.
A fresh satchel is worth checking before it is emptied. A First Aid Kit - Military turns up about one time in five. A Gas Mask Filter is the next most common find. Now and then it holds a compass, a walkie-talkie, a holster, a flashlight, a lighter or a bandage. Rare finds include a Gas Mask, an Entrenching Tool, a Hunting Knife, Military Boots and a Military Helmet.
Locations
