The Sleeping Bag is an unrolled camping bed that can be laid on the ground to sleep on. It gives a survivor a place to rest away from a house bed.
It suits anyone who travels, camps in the woods or hides out away from buildings. Its main strength is that it goes anywhere. Its main cost is bulk, since an unrolled bag is heavy and awkward to carry. Packing it first makes it lighter and lets it ride on a backpack.
The bag comes in red plaid, blue plaid, green, green plaid and camo looks. It is usually found packed in army surplus stores and camping stores, then unrolled for use.
Using
The bag is placed on the floor or on open ground like a piece of furniture. Once placed, it can be slept on. Sleep on a bare sleeping bag is poor. Placing it inside a tent raises its sleeping comfort to average.
The in-game tooltip says the bag must be packed before it can be attached to a backpack. Pack Sleeping Bag rolls it into a Sleeping Bag (Packed). Unpack Sleeping Bag turns it back. The packed bag is lighter and rides on a bedroll strap.
The other sleeping bags, such as the Cheap Sleeping Bag, the High Quality Sleeping Bag, the Hide Sleeping Bag and the Spiffo Sleeping Bag, rest just the same. The choice between them comes down to looks and what is at hand.
The Research Craft option on the bag teaches Sew Hide Sleeping Bag. That recipe lets a survivor make a new bag from animal hide.
Upkeep
A spare bag can be burned. It works both as fuel and as tinder for a fire.
