Suitcases, Shoulder Bags, Duffel Bags and Stashes

[Draco122 412]

Overall I simply think there is just too many Backpacks and Rucksacks (and for the uneducated, a Backpack is Small for something like a day out on a walk or at a job and a Rucksack is large for camping/hunting/hiking etc for a few days).

 

So I'd like to suggest alternative options for storage that we may find in the world.

 

First up, the fanny pack, extremely small, worn around the waist, holds probably 4-6 items at most. Comes in a variety of colours.

Second, the Shoulder bag, a canvas shoulder bag such as this should be a similar alternative to the Childs Backpack, a 12 slot storage item which is carried along the characters side usually slung over a shoulder.

Third, the Suitcase, holds anywhere from 20-30 items at a time but cannot be carried on the persons back, instead the person must equip it in their hands in order to carry it around. With some "modification" with ducktape and some rope, they could craft an improvised backpack by tying the suitcase to a persons back (but they still need to "equip" it in order to access their loot.

Fourth, is the Duffel Bag, even bigger than the Suitcase in storage capacity, but still requiring a person to equip it to carry it and store items. Again some modification with duct tape and rope can craft a few straps to carry it hands free (but it sticks out like a sore thumb).

Finally is the topic of Stashes, like in the Mod a player could create a stash using an entrenching tool and some sandbags for this I propose something different. Players can use a combination of a shovel combined with either a burlap sack for a small stash (12 items) or a suitcase (20 items) for a medium stash.

Yes! I could use a fannypack to match my purple running shoes and pink beanie.

 

Really though I'd trade one of the primary slots (gun or axe, don't care) for the extra storage of a shoulder slung bag.
