The Tent (Packed) is a camping tent folded into a bundle for carrying. It is the travel form of the Tent. It cannot be slept in until it is unpacked and pitched.

It suits survivors who roam far from base and need shelter on the road. Its main strength is that it rides on a backpack's bedroll strap and leaves the hands free. Packing also halves its weight compared with a pitched tent.

The packed tent comes in yellow, blue, brown and green, all with the same use. It is found in camping stores and hunting lodges, and made by packing a pitched Tent.

Using

The packed tent is a way to move a shelter. It clips onto the bedroll strap of a backpack. The Unpack Tent recipe opens it into a Tent, which is then placed and slept in. The tooltip notes that it must be unpacked before it can be placed or used.

Once pitched, the tent gives poor sleep on its own. A Sleeping Bag or a Mattress inside raises the comfort. A packed sleeping bag and a packed tent together make a full camp kit.

The Pack Tent recipe folds a pitched Tent back into this form for the next move.

The Tent Kit (Packed) weighs 3, lighter than this packed tent at 5. Either does the same job of carrying a shelter.

The packed tent can also burn as fire fuel.

Locations

Camping stores are the best place to look, on shelves and in other containers, holding one about one time in eight. Camping storage rooms are just as good. Hunting lodge shelves hold one now and then. Fishing storage shelves come next. Closets, garage crates and sheds turn one up rarely. Survivor safehouses hold one very rarely.
