It isn't Oregon Trail until we can put something on our tombstone.

.png) Here we go. The absolute earliest time we can start with, a full party full of old people and children, and the lowest paying job with no skills selected. For this run, I will not be informing you of the paths. When you reach a fork, it's up to you to use whatever knowledge you have to make the right choice. This includes paths that can take you backwards. Research and choose wisely! .png) We're so poor we can only afford a 2-month package max and have to choose cheap oxen instead of horses. We don't even have enough money left for a grandfather clock. quote:Weight: 2683 lbs. I, uh, may have added something to the 2-month package. .png) We set off with Wagon Train 3. .png) The river is frozen. Only one way to cross now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-U_z08htUs .png) .png) All of the nearby towns are frozen over. .png) And on the first day we get our first casualty! How do we take care of a 5-year-old with a cold on the trail?

Laudanum has to be good for something! Insane confederate generals with half their limbs off can't be wrong except for the parts where they were insanely wrong. General Hood is basically my only experience with Laudanum.

I mean, laudanum is just basically opium mixed with booze, so it would make him tired, which would be bad, because if I know anything about medicine, and I don't, I've always heard you don't want to let somebody with a concussion fall asleep. Keep him very active.

Increase rations. Surely additional bacon and coffee will counter this head injury.

Good news. I've found Gunn's New Domestic Physician, a home medical book from 1859, so a little anachronistic, but let's see.quote:Concussion of the Brain. In Concussion of the Brain, caused by blows to the head or falling with the head upon a hard surface, causing stupor, insensitivity and perhaps vomiting, bleeding of the nose, etc., give active cathartic and purgative injections with cooling applications to the head, bathe the feet in warm water and then apply mustard to them, the shoulders, and the stomach. Do not bleed the patient. So there you go. Btw, Gunn appears to have been really a fan of soaking ones feet.

Lets wait for a spell and see if the river suddenly improves. Will also give some time for our concussed party member to do some laps around the wagon to cure up that pesky injury.

If there’s anything I know about the 1840’s (there isn’t), it’s that they solved all problems by getting shitfaced. Use that alcohol.
