    Kerman7Anything Pearson at the camp can craft seems to count too, not just pouches but lodging too.
    My achievement unlocked crafting a cow hide ground cover.

    M1ght33 J03The flavored meat options (oregano, thyme, mint) all count individually. Those can be found by selecting the meat to cook and pushing left and right on the D-pad.
    The seasoning provides extra benefits to a single gauge (health, stamina, or Dead-eye).

    VermigsCan confirm that Pearson's crafting counts too. Achievement popped after getting a camp lodging upgrade from him.

    What you need to do is craft either at a campsite or at the base camp 30 unique items, items include cooking food, making ammunition, crafting horse materials and making new weapons, making coffee, crafting medicine etc. keep track of the items you already crafted towards this and you can unlock this early on. also I read that people have been progressing this achievement by going to the trapper and crafting legendary clothing.
