The Tarp Sling Bag is a whole tarp folded into a bag and slung across the back. It is a quick early bag that needs no sewing. Any survivor can make it from one Tarp and some Duct Tape.
Its main strength is a fair amount of room that is easy to make. Its main cost is a cut to running speed and a weaker weight cut than a real backpack. It is never found as loot and comes only from the Make Tarp Sling Bag recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Tarp Sling Bag holds 12 units of items. It takes 55 percent of their weight off the wearer. It is worn on the back, so it fills the backpack spot.
While worn, it slows running by 5 percent. That is the price of a bulky bundle on the back.
The Sheet Sling Bag is the closest bag. It holds 10 units and takes off half the weight, so the tarp version is a little better. The Hide Sling Bag is a step up again, with 14 units and a 60 percent weight cut.
The bag suits the first days, before a proper backpack turns up.
Tailoring
The Tarp Sling Bag is immune to holes. It is also fire tinder and fuel.
The Reclaim Sling Bag recipe unfolds it back into a Tarp. That makes the bag a free way to store a tarp until it is needed.
