Not if you have a sledgehammer/war hammer/fire axe and no books nearby.[/quote]
It’s even faster to just grab a shopping cart from a grocery store rather than destroy most of a car to get a trunk to drag around. This depends, of course, on the whimsy of the RNG, which can make all these strategies viable solutions in different situations.
As far as carrying stuff goes, it really depends on if you have a sewing kit/sewing books and/or a bunch of ammo.
If you have enough ammo to RAMBO your way through part of the city, you can just equip 2 of every kind of bag you have access to/can craft, and shoot everything while your back slowly disintegrates under the strain of carrying ‘All of the Things™’.
I generally take high strength in exchange for a bunch of negative traits so I can use 2 survivor duffel bags at once to carry crap around, if it takes more than 300-400 volume you’d probably want to be dragging a cargo carrier behind you or driving a lootmobile anyways.
Of course if something gets close to you your massive encumbrance leaves you at 0 everything fighting skills causing every attack to hit you and making most of your attacks miss and/or deal low(er) damage (unless you drop a bunch of your loot), but that’s the tradeoff for efficient kleptomania.
