How to upgrade your camp and get Leather Working Tools in Red Dead Redemption 2
Camp upgrades come in two forms:
- From Pearson, the camp cook, who can unlock a variety of cosmetic upgrades across the camp by donating items - mostly perfect pelts, hides and skins. He also deals with satchel upgrades.
- From the ledger. You won't get access to the ledger until you do your first debt collection as part of mission Money Lending and Other Sins. This is where the most beneficial upgrades come from, including fast travel.
Once you've unlocked the ledger, it'll appear next to the camp donation box. Purchasing upgrades from the ledger will come out of camp funds first, and then from your own pocket.
Unlocking the ledger is also where you get the Leather Working Tools. Head towards the back of the book, and there it is, for $225.
Any upgrades you buy for the camp appear instantly - no need to wait around. The provisions they supply will be dotted around that location - for example, food to the left of where you check in with Pearson, or ammo round the back of Arthur's tent.
Remember, you need to stock up these provisions through the ledger if you use them up, and each upgrade will mean this restock will cost more.
