A Human's junk is a Mouse's treasure!
When mice are out on their own surviving or in the depth of a ruination, any piece of junk is valuable, sometimes crucial to survival. A scrap of cloth may splint a broken bone, a toothpick may jam a door so enemies cannot flood the room. Who knows what use a desperate mouse may find.

Update 4-3-2021 - Added the basket pack and hauler pack special item.
The Basket Pack was designed by mice working in crop fields but has been adopted by packrats and scavenger mice to maximize their gathering capacity.
A large basket with straps to secure items and belts to carry.
The Basket Pack takes up a mouse's chest armor space and requires a strength of 11 to carry. Because of its bulky size, combat and movement is reduced by -2 DEX while the bag is worn. This bag expands the mouse's inventory by 6 spaces.

6 extra inventory
Requires STR 11
-2 DEX While worn
Cost: 300p
The Hauler Pack is used by mice intending to haul and trade goods between settlements. Items within a pack are packaged and not meant to be easily accessible as the goods within are intended to be sold.
A matchbox with straps and internal separators for packaging and maximizing carry capacity. Each of the four spaces within the pack can stack up to 4 of the same item type. These items are considered Packaged*.
*Packaged items cannot be accessed until the entire container is opened and all items are unpacked. Unpacking can take considerable time and is not recommended during dangerous situations.
