In this Red Dead Redemption 2 Satchel Crafting Guide, we will guide you on different satchel types that you can craft in Red Dead Redemption 2. Satchels are used to store different items in Red Dead Redemption 2 and as you purchase better satchels for each item type, you will be allowed to store more of that specific item in the game. When you start the game, you can only hold a small number of each item and must later craft better satchels to hold more items.
We have curated this Red Dead Redemption 2 Satchel Crafting Guide in which we have detailed all different types of Satchels and how you can craft different satchel type. You will need to reach a certain part of the story where you finally have access to your own camp and crafting upgrades. Once you do, you will be able to craft better satchels that will allow you to hold more items in your inventory.

Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Satchel Upgrades Guide details all satchels and the resources required for that particular upgrade.
Once you have access to your own camp after reaching a certain part in the story, you can move around and check different aspects of the camp. Go to Pearson and choose Crafting Upgrades option where you can give him resources in exchange for some really cool upgrades.
One such upgrades is the satchel upgrades which are very handy since you will be allowed to have increased amounts of tonics, ingredients, kits, provisions and more similar items in the game.
