Food

510 pounds of bacon
30 pounds of cheese
36 pounds of coffee beans
12 10-lb. sacks of cornmeal

I just woke up and this sounds incredibly appealing right now.

Ford. It's like two feet.

We lost ten pounds of coffee?! THIRTY POUNDS OF CORNMEAL?!

Replace supplies, consider whether this is a bad omen, stay on the lookout for more.

It was discovered that the survivors at the camp had also resorted to cannibalism and Lewis Keseberg was suspected of murdering others to eat them.

Or, as The Memory Palace put it:

Nate DiMeo posted:

Lewis Keseberg wasn't a good man. He cursed and he stole. He would drink and get into moods, and then get into fights. He beat his wife. He was cruel. Lewis Keseberg wasn't a good man ... but he didn't eat those people.

It's a really good episode, but then, they almost all are.

Why do you think I need anything other than Bacon, Beans, Cornbread, and Coffee? :colbert:

Should we be going by our own knowledge/intuition, or would looking stuff up be fair game?

As I didn't vote formally before, Throw them all away. We have plenty of food and if we need more we can hunt and kill some meat. Berries and leaves are for animals, not people. (Cornbread's still good though.)

Wow, we're utterly useless. How do you even fail at picking up rocks and putting them down somewhere else. We have oxen for the big ones. Sheesh.

Keep going to Fort Hall, we need to resupply.

I like to imagine the entire wagon party shouting and arguing about different ways of dealing with the pile of rocks. By the time the next wagon arrived, our party is sullenly not speaking to each other any more.

Take the Road to Fort Hall. I don't trust us in the desert and don't we completely lack good water vessels?

Seriously, guys. I know very little about this game, but I know there's plenty of desert between the Sierra Nevadas and Sacramento. We'll need as much water as we can carry.

This, strongly, but also: COFFEE. You cross deserts at night and need coffee to stay up late, right? :downs:

The key to health is clean drinking. Increase fluid intake, use water/coffee/whiskey to lube up the body's internals.

Is there an option to arbitrary apply whiskey (or laudanum?) at any time?
