Tents carried on back with back pack

[Redstar Payne 54]

So I was modding skyrim one day and saw back packs with bedrolls and tents underneath them and sometimes on top depending on the back pack you used and i thought to my self wouldnt it be cool to have tents we could add to a spot on our back that meshes with the back pack somehow in dayz, realistically it makes sense because most people would not store a tent in their pack, it prevents them from storing other items and most cases the tent would just take up the entire back pack so who wants that? Might take some votes over this i mean it is a stretch and could cause some clipping issues but im sure it could add to the real feel of the game. Let me know mates!

I would like for things such as tents, canteens, sticks, etc to have the ability to be strapped to the backpack.

oooo i like where your going with this! as long as you have rope it should be possible ... i mean weight later will be a factor so its not like your getting away with much by strapping stuff just saving one or two spaces.

It could work.. If there can be pistol holsters, I'd like to see tents including straps that you could have placed next to your backpack.

 

This should change the affect of your movements though.

it would be interesting to see how it would change movements but lets face it reality would do so as well (for the record i know its a game people it can only be as real as a game allows ;) )

I like the term "Authenticity" more than realistic.. Having a packed tent around with other items you would be carrying wouldn't even be possible so having it strapped around your back would be great. 

 

This is what I'd like to see in the picture below, most of the equipment appears outside the backpack.. If this were possible to be in DayZ, each item that's been inflicted damage would be more varied instead of all items becoming "Ruined"

I think this is an awesome idea, but I think it should be limited to backpacks with the metal rails (if they add them). Mountain packs we have are one thing, then there is stuff like this:

i generally like the idea that your backpack model isnt static, but changes depending whether its empty of stuffed - or whether you carry a tent or not.

 

this should go well with this suggestion i just found: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/183611-empty-backpack-models-different-carriable-containers/

 

its especially awesome because you could visually identify whether someone is potentially worth robbing - and if it affects stamina and movement, whether you have a mobility advantage in combat or not.

Damn that is a sweet back pack and yeah i think your on to something as well .. i do think the hunting back pack should have the ability to tie a rolled tent on the bottom but i like the frame idea as well.

this is very true, bandits could actually pick out good loot targets and it will help heros identify who needs some gear.

Implementing things such as Carabeeners (Or however they're spelled. That's just what I call them when I go camping.) and zip-ties to externally store things would be nice. It'd be an advantage to take the mountain backpacks- because they can hold more on the outside than a hunting pack.
