>Or not?
No; travelling isn't an emergency. It's a neccesity. Pemmican is what
Indians took along for the ride. And food shortages are pretty much par of
the course, whether you're talking a tribal people running low on game and
plants or a soccer mom almost out of groceries. Early people found ways to
eat some now and save some for later; soccer mom's buy big refrigerators.
Same sh*t, different millenium.
>It wasn't a staple and shouldn't be a staple, I think.
Good thing they had it or they'd all be dead by now. Or would that be best,
since you think they shouldn't have eaten it?
