[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9680104, member: 6785785"] Who says it often doesn't happen? Have you been on many overland expeditions? I haven't. My experience with them, such as it is, comes mostly from fiction. And in fiction, when people travel great distances by foot or horse or wagon, they tend to hunt and forage along the way. No. We're talking about two different approaches, right? So why would you think I would use your approach to solve the problem. The problem, as I saw it, was you said my method doesn't allow a character to search for herbs and yours does. This whole "like we do" seems more a semantic cover than anything to me. Why would I ever claim to be able to do it like you do it? I literally don't want to do it that way. All I was showing is that foraging for herbs can be done in either method. Hence, the problem, as I see it, is solved. You're now pointing out that my method doesn't allow it "in the moment"... yes, I know! I didn't claim it did nor would I. It makes no sense. No, you're right. The possibility that something interesting could happen during the search for herbs versus the certainty that something interesting will happen by skipping past that. [/QUOTE]
