How do I upgrade my satchel to carry more items?

Upgrading your satchel in Red Dead Redemption 2 is essential for increasing your inventory capacity, allowing you to carry more items such as herbs, tonics, meat, and valuables. To upgrade your satchel, you must craft improved versions at the camp''s crafting station, known as the ''Leather Working Tools.'' These tools are unlocked by contributing to the camp''s ledger and purchasing them for $225. Once you have the tools, you can begin crafting satchels by gathering the required materials.\n\nTo craft satchels, you need to collect perfect pelts from specific animals, as well as other materials like leather and buckles. Each satchel upgrade requires different pelts, so you''ll need to hunt a variety of animals. For example, the ''Tonico Satchel'' requires a perfect deer pelt, while the ''Kit Satchel'' needs a perfect badger pelt. Use your binoculars or a scoped rifle to study animals and ensure you''re targeting a perfect specimen. Aim for headshots with the appropriate weapon to preserve the pelt''s quality.\n\nOnce you have the required materials, visit Pearson, the camp''s cook, at your main camp. Interact with him and select the ''Craft'' option to access the satchel crafting menu. Each satchel upgrade will be listed, along with the materials needed. Crafting all seven satchels will unlock the ''Legend of the East Satchel,'' which provides maximum storage capacity for all items. This is a significant upgrade, as it allows you to carry 99 of each item, making resource management much easier.\n\nHunting for perfect pelts can be challenging, especially for rare animals like the panther or moose. To improve your chances, use bait or study animal behavior to track them effectively. For example, panthers are found in the forests south of Rhodes, while moose are typically near water sources in the northern regions of the map. Patience and preparation are key to successfully hunting these animals.\n\nIn addition to hunting, you can purchase some materials like buckles and leather from general stores or trappers. However, perfect pelts must be obtained through hunting. If you''re struggling to find a specific animal, consider using online guides or maps to locate their habitats. Remember to save your game frequently, as losing a perfect pelt due to an unexpected event can be frustrating.\n\nFinally, prioritize upgrading your satchel early in the game. The increased inventory capacity will save you time and effort, especially during long hunting trips or missions. Once you have the Legend of the East Satchel, you''ll no longer need to worry about running out of space for essential items. This upgrade is one of the most impactful improvements you can make in Red Dead Redemption 2, so invest the time and effort to complete it.
