Leather is a material in The Long Dark.
Overview[]
Leather is a resource for repairing leather footwear, gloves, and accessories. It can be found uncommonly in containers or on the ground, and can be harvested from leather items. It is unrelated to the hides obtained from harvesting animals.
Fresh leather needs to be air-dried for 5 days in order to be usable. It is an extremely rare find, and can only be found at outside locations such as Poacher's Camp, The Ravine, and the Maintenance Yard.

Trivia[]
- In early builds of The Long Dark (alpha/beta), Deer Hides provided "Fresh Leather" when harvested; this item could be converted into "Cured Leather" by curing it, and then used for repairing clothing. Cured Leather is still present in The Long Dark, but is only obtainable by Harvesting leather footwear, gloves, the Moose-Hide Satchel, and beachcombing.
- The "Fresh Leather" item is still present in The Long Dark, and may be still be cured into Cured Leather over 5 days, but is extremely rare and cannot be created in any way outside of world generation at game start. Fresh Leather also decays over time, like animal hides and guts, making it even more difficult to find the already rare item before it decays to 0% condition inside a container and is deleted.
