The Tarp Fanny Pack is a small homemade waist bag sewn from a piece of tarp and taped together. It is worn on the front of the waist and keeps a few small items close at hand. It weighs almost nothing and frees a little room in the main inventory.
Its main strength is that it can be made from scrap once a survivor knows some Tailoring. Its main cost is that it takes off less weight than a found fanny pack and slows running a little. It is never found as loot and comes only from the Sew Tarp Fanny Pack recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Tarp Fanny Pack holds one unit of items, which suits a few pills, a lighter or some ammunition. It takes 60 percent of the weight of what is inside off the wearer. It sits on the Fanny Pack Front slot at the waist.
The other fanny packs make the easiest comparison. The store-bought Fanny Pack holds the same amount but takes 85 percent of the weight off. The Hide Fanny Pack also holds one unit and takes off 65 percent. The tarp version is the weakest of the three, but it is the easiest to make from common scraps.
While worn, it slows running by 3 percent. It clashes with webbing, so it cannot be worn with a chest rig or similar gear. The "on Back" inventory option moves it to the back of the waist, where it becomes the Tarp Fanny Pack - Back.
Tailoring
The Tarp Fanny Pack is immune to holes. The "Research Craft" inventory option on it teaches three recipes: Sew Small Leather Backpack, Sew Hide Wallet and Sew Hide Fanny Pack. That makes it a useful stepping stone toward better leather and hide bags.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Tarp Fanny Pack and teaches the recipes below.

Notes
- The "on Back" option moves the pack behind the waist without changing what it holds.
- Researching it teaches the Sew Hide Fanny Pack recipe, which makes a slightly better waist bag.
- A found Fanny Pack takes off far more weight, so it is worth swapping when one turns up.
- It cannot be worn together with webbing gear.
