Let's All Get Prepared [ voice + action ]
Good day my fellow residents.
As most of you know, there has been a planned expedition to inspect the meteor, and we will all be leaving soon - well, those of us wanting to go. I know for some this is their first time going, and so I thought I might offer myself as a resource. I know some of you may not have experience either on expeditions or 'roughing it' as they might say, but I am here to answer questions and offer advice on what to pack and bring with you. This includes those who intend to walk and those who intend to bring animals.
If you are already packed and want to do a double check, remember, there is no guarantee this expedition will be a quiet one, and no guarantee of what we will meet. Every expedition has brought new revelations. As cliche as it sounds 'expect the unexpected' is as good a warning as any.
If you would like specific advice, just contact me and for those who do not know me - I am Ashura. I will also be down in the kitchen later if you want an on hands demonstration.
[ And with that done, Ashura closes the journal and heads down to said kitchen. It was a big space, and it would help with showing people what sort of foods to pack. He set out some of the basics he had learned over the years, and even included some clothing to bring as well. He intended to be thorough. A well prepared group would be more capable of meeting any threat than one that fumbled about, after all. ]

["That's a relief?" Pfft, hardly.]
...that's not quite as bad as I expected. I guess I'll just have to deal with that later, though. [Moving along - it won't help to dwell on that now] Anyway, you said you were giving "hands-on demonstrations", right? What kind of stuff are you going to show people?

We should have a supply wagon and some pack beasts, so if you figure out who is bringing those, you could potentially store more. You will want something to sleep on, so a light sleeping kit, another shirt and part of pants to change into - you can wash the other pair when and if we find a river or other water source. It would be good to have your own water source and some dried meats and fruits. Some people bring things to keep them occupied at night, but make sure they are light and do not take up much room. Socks for your shoes and or boots.
It is really a matter of practicality when you think on it.
