Survival Guides

Staying alive on the trail to Oregon comes down to food, medicine, working wheels and a wagon that fights back. These guides cover the survival side of the journey: how hunting works when animals appear along the route, what a kill puts in the wagon's shared meat supply, and how that supply can run out unnoticed — plus the day-to-day habits that keep a four-player party going, from cooking and rationing food to stocking medkits, guarding your wheels, saving money for the ferryman and reaching a town when a teammate goes down.
