The Small Backpack is an everyday school or day bag worn on the back. It is a bag for carrying, and it frees both hands while moving gear around town.
It is light and easy to find. It holds a fair load and takes most of the weight inside off the wearer. Its cost is size, since bigger packs hold far more. It also slows running a little.
Small Backpacks sit on shop shelves, in homes and in school lockers. The pack comes in several looks, such as plain colours, a children's print and a medical version. A character who starts with the builder playstyle or the Starter Kit option begins with one. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The pack holds 15 units of gear and takes 70 percent of the weight inside off the wearer. It is worn on the back and slows running by about 3 percent. The medical version holds a little less, at 12 units, with the same weight cut.
The Hiking Backpack holds 20 and takes off three quarters of the weight, for a little more weight on the back. The Big Hiking Backpack holds 22 and takes off 80 percent. The Military Backpack holds 28 and takes off 85 percent. The Duffel Bag holds 18, but it takes off only 65 percent and slows running more. The crafted Small Leather Backpack holds 14 and takes off 65 percent.
A found Small Backpack is often not empty. School versions usually hold books, pens, pencils and comics. The children's version holds toys, crayons and snacks.
Tailoring

Notes
- Camping stores and hunting lodges are the best places to look.
- A found pack often holds books or school supplies, so check inside before dropping it.
- Research Craft on it teaches the Sew Small Leather Backpack recipe.
- The pack burns, so it can serve as fuel or tinder once a better bag is found.
