Edwin's Canned Sleeping Bag

Description
Adds Canned Sleeping Bags to the game.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force issued sleeping bags in “spam cans”—steel cans opened with a metal key. Unintentionally silly by today’s standards, it was part of a serious effort to keep crashed or shot-down airmen alive in cold regions until they were rescued. Why would the U.S. military pack sleeping bags in metal cans? Goose down is compressible, but it’s also really difficult to get all the moisture out of a down bag if it gets wet (unlike modern nylon shells). If an emergency sleeping bag gets wet in storage you might not notice for years, and by the time you really, really need it you could be left with a mildewy mess. Thus the impenetrable metal can.

Provides a packed camouflage sleeping bag upon opening.

Thanks for the little historical mod here, honestly should be a vanilla since it's very lore friendly.

Honestly, all your mods are killing it! Love seeing them. If we're doing cold war survival stuff, you should consider making the N-3B Army parka.
