Gold pouch? It is used to store gold pebbles, very good if your super rich

nothing expands your inventory you craft containers that use up inventory slots which is just stupid instead of the developers allowing extra inventory or extra attachments for like the items also your forced to "find" recipies completly randomly now unless you cheat using editor

Thanks, keep it updated it's useful...Overall I find the storage part of the game pretty weak. 12 slots is way to little. I hope they will introduce bigger storage.

Wooden Cabinet also has 18 slots. There is also a wooden Box that has 6 slots. If you place it within your Protective Barrier, wait for it to harden, then you can grab it into your pack for extra storage. You can do this with as many boxes you can fit in your pack. I typicaly just use 4 and color code them brown for wood, red for food, black for hides and leather and blue for Misc tools.
It's worth the extra 20 slots in your pack.
