The Simple Framepack is a home made backpack built on a frame of wooden rods. It is a bag for carrying, worn on the back, and it is made from wood, thread and scraps.

Its strength is that it holds as much as a Hiking Backpack and takes most of the load off the wearer. Its cost is its own weight, which is heavier than a bought pack of the same size. It also slows running a little.

The Simple Framepack is crafted, not found. It comes in two builds. One uses a large piece of tanned leather, and the other uses a Tarp. The leather build carries weight a little better. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Carrying

The pack holds 20 units of gear. The leather build takes three quarters of the weight inside off the wearer. The tarp build takes off a little less, at 70 percent. Both builds slow running by about 4 percent or less while worn on the back. A bedroll can be strapped to the bottom of the frame, which frees space inside.

The Hiking Backpack holds the same 20 units with the same weight cut, and it weighs only 1.2 against 2. The Framepack, built on a proper Pack Frame, holds 25 and takes off 80 percent. The Large Framepack holds 35. The Simple Framepack is the step before those, made from wood and scraps.

Tailoring

The frame and its cover hold up without patching. Research Craft on the pack teaches four bag recipes: Sew Small Leather Backpack, Assemble Small Simple Framepack, Assemble Simple Framepack and Assemble Framepack. That makes it a good piece to research before building a bigger pack.

The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Simple Framepack and teaches the recipes below.

Locations

Two recipes make the Simple Framepack, both at Tailoring level 5. Assemble Simple Framepack uses a large piece of crude tanned or fur tanned leather, four heavy thread and two Leather Strips or Rope. Assemble Simple Tarp Framepack uses a Tarp, four thread and four Duct Tape. Both need five Wooden Rods for the frame and three ties of Twine, Rag, Denim Strips or Leather Strips. Five Duct Tape or two Rope can stand in for those ties. Scissors or a sharp knife and a sewing needle are kept, and the leather build also keeps an awl.

Notes

  • The leather build carries weight a little better than the tarp build.
  • A bedroll hangs below the frame instead of filling the bag.
  • Research Craft on it teaches the recipe for the full Framepack.
  • The pack burns, so it can serve as fuel or tinder once it is no longer needed.
