www.blm.gov/or/oregontrail/files/packwagon.pdf

So, aside from providing a sample list of supplies for a 2000 mile wagon journey which might still be useful information, the pdf also includes several pages of what would you do and multiple choice questions

Maybe someone smarter than me could make a survey out of this that we might find useful

or not

what do you think?

Some tough resilient folks back then. Took lots of courage to pack up, probably to never see family again and head out across country.
But never have I read of more amazing and courageous folks than the Lewis and Clark expedition. (Undaunted Courage, Stephen Ambrose)
