The Sleeping Bag (Packed) is a sleeping bag rolled up tight for travel. It is the carrying form of the Sleeping Bag.
It suits survivors who move between camps or explore far from home. Packed, the bag is lighter than an unrolled one and can hang from a backpack. That keeps it off the hands and out of the main pack. To sleep on it, the bag must first be unrolled.
The bag comes in red plaid, blue plaid, green, green plaid and camo looks. It is a common find in army surplus stores, pawn shops and camping stores.
Using
The packed bag rides in the bedroll strap of a backpack. It travels there without taking space inside the bag.
The in-game tooltip says the bag must be unpacked before it can be placed or used. Unpack Sleeping Bag rolls it out into a Sleeping Bag. The unrolled bag can then be laid on the ground and slept on. Placing it inside a tent gives better sleep than open ground. Pack Sleeping Bag rolls it back up for the road.
A packed bag weighs three, against five for an unrolled one. That saving adds up on a long trip with a full pack.
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 packed bag can be burned as fuel in a fire. Unrolled, it also works as tinder.

Army surplus stores are the best place to look. Their shelves hold one more than half the time. Pawn shop shelves are almost as good, and their counters and offices hold them too. Camping stores and camping storage keep one about one time in four. Army storage rooms, military crates and army tent lockers turn them up often. Outdoor supply stores, fishing storage lockers, closets, sheds and garages hold one now and then. It is a common find in the right shops.
