The Tarp Sack is a large homemade sack sewn from a piece of tarp and sealed with Duct Tape. It is a carried bag for hauling loot. It holds as much as a found Gunny Sack.
Its main strength is a large capacity for very little material. Its main cost is that it takes only half the weight of its contents off the wearer. It is never found as loot and comes only from the Make Tarp Sack recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Tarp Sack holds 20 units of items. It takes half the weight of what is inside off the wearer. The empty sack is light, and it slows running only very slightly.
It matches the Gunny Sack and the Hide Sack exactly on capacity, weight cut and speed. The plain Sack holds less, at 15 units. That makes the Tarp Sack a fair stand-in for a gunny sack when none turns up.
It suits hauling food, scrap or tools between a loot run and a base. A backpack is the better choice for carrying while fighting.
Tailoring
The Tarp Sack is immune to holes. The "Research Craft" inventory option on it teaches Sew Small Leather Backpack. It is also fire tinder and fuel.
The Cut Head Sack recipe turns it into a Tarp Headsack with scissors or a sharp knife.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Tarp Sack and teaches the recipes below.
