The Survivalist’s Kit is a specialized container for storing healing herbs, for sale at The Herbal Huntsman. All herbs of a unique type placed within stack up to 50 by default and maintain the weight of a single dose. Once placed inside, doses may be removed one at a time from within the kit or discarded from the kit entirely by PULLing on them. The kit otherwise functions as a normal container that may be altered, lightened, and deepened per standard guidelines. The kits may be either shoulder- or belt-worn, and each has a theme that is either natural, mechanical, or magical in flavor.
Unlocks
Capacity: +25 capacity for all herbs (up to 4 upgrades for maximum of 150 per).
Liquid Storage: The kit may now store liquid herbs in addition to their solid counterparts.
Liquid Extractor: Requires Liquid Storage. The kit may now convert solid herbs into their liquid counterparts, at a rate of 1 per 20 minutes. The solid herb target must first be set by POINTing the kit at the appropriate dose of the herb inside of it, then NUDGEing the kit to start (or stop) the process.
Potency: Requires Liquid Storage. Any liquid herbs that originate from the kit will be administered at a faster rate based on the consumer’s Survival training. This effect fades 30 seconds after the herb has been removed from the kit.

Special thanks to Casil and Gyres for the creation of The Herbal Huntsman and the messaging for the kits.

Themes
The theme of each kit dictates its flavor, both in messaging as well as the literal flavor of the herbs that it holds. The theme cannot typically be changed, so be discerning with your base container selection.

Additional Customization
There are a few additional pieces that a merchant may be able to customize for you, which include:
* Inner lining description, in “adjective noun” form, which should be some sort of fabric/leather.
* Container close mechanism, in “adjective noun” form, which must end in one of the following: buckle, drawstrings, clasp, latch, or toggle.
* Extractor indicator description, in “article adjective” form (requires Liquid Extractor).
* Extractor toggle description, in “article adjective” form (requires Liquid Extractor).

These customizations are most noticeable when LOOKing at the kit, but also appear throughout its typical usage.
