Being a self-sufficient traveller does not require Goodberry; proficiency in Survival should be sufficient to claim that identity. If it's not, then that should certainly be addressed, but that's a problem with execution rather than concept.And, given that the background is intended to cover that territory, there's no reason to cram those things into the class. If half of the wilderness identity is tied up with the Ranger class, then that creates issue with both non-Ranger wilderness characters and non-wilderness Ranger characters. The most coherent solution is to remove those aspects from the Ranger class, and replace them with something distinct in order to justify its existence. If someone wants their Ranger to be a self-sufficient traveller, then they should be forced into taking an appropriate background, just like everyone else.</blockquote>
