Tarp Footwraps are makeshift shoes made by wrapping tarp around the feet and taping it in place. They cover the feet and shins and keep them dry. Any survivor can make them, with no Tailoring skill and no sewing kit.
Their main strength is warmth and full rain cover for very little effort. Their main cost is that they wear out fast and give only light protection. They are never found as loot and come only from the Make Tarp Footwraps recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Tarp Footwraps keep the feet fairly warm and block most wind. They also shut out rain completely, which helps on wet days. They suit cold, rainy weather while better boots are still missing.
They stop about one scratch in five on the feet and shins.
Next to other homemade footwraps, they hold up well. Denim Footwraps match them on warmth, wind and scratches, and Leather Strip Footwraps add a little bite cover. Burlap Footwraps are colder and stop half as many scratches. Rag Footwraps stop only one scratch in twenty. The tarp version is the only one of these with full rain cover.
They take the Shoes slot, so they replace any other footwear.
Tailoring
Tarp Footwraps count as denim. Cutting them up with the Cut Up Denim/Leather Clothing recipe gives Denim Strips. They last only a few hits of wear and lose condition often, so a spare pair helps.
The "Research Craft" inventory option on them teaches Sew Hide Boots, Weave Twine Shoes and Sew Sandals.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Tarp Footwraps and teaches the recipes below.

Notes
- They are the only homemade footwraps that keep rain out fully.

- Researching them unlocks three better shoe recipes, including Sew Hide Boots.
- They wear out quickly, so tarp and tape for a new pair are worth carrying.
