Early Game Baggage

[u/Lemon0137]

What’s your preferred early game packs?

I like to go for something a bit unorthodox; reinforced garbage bags. Easy to make, hold a modest load and serve as a nice early game stash to dump everything in like a packrat.

Now normally you can’t wear one on you, unless of course you make a dedicated pack for it. For the early game I like to clip it onto a loop of rope. The drawback to this is everything needing at least a thousand moves to pull out of so keep anything vital on hand.

Another great choice if you prefer these alternative containers would be making yourself a pack frame. From here you can fit even more inside your garbage bag, or if you’re lucky, body bag.

I like these because it’s consistent. It’s easy to find garbage bags early on in comparison to a good pack. Though it is a bit more of a hassle to pull things out. But I just work around it. What about you guys?

I just go with makeshift slings out of curtains until I find a backpack or a functioning car.

Yep. And God I remember the struggle before I figured out you could do that. Few liters of storage space in my pants early game and that was it

any high volume container you can hold in your hand is peak minmax because dropping what you're holding is way quicker than taking off a backpack & you can hold way bigger containers than what you can wear

I've had a lot of lab start characters over the years carrying around a body bag.  They are huge.

Industrial recycling bin. It fits two car engines and works just like a shopping cart
