Sure can. I wondered why they didn't allow the frountier house families
to take a few hundred pounds of dried beans and rice. They had a water
source where there were going, so the load capacity of the wagons
would have been well spent carrying a couple million calories in dried
foods, which would have been available in 1883.
The more I look at it, this pioneer house sim was fatally flawed, both
by the families not being allowed to hunt and by their carrying the
wrong stuff with them. They carried guns and ammo. What good
were those if you couldnt hunt? They were forced to over-rely
upon their own livestock as their only protein source. spike
