Meat from the Pork Belly and the lower parts are fattier then most any other parts of a hog. Bacon is already cut from here and so is salted Pork so it's not "fattier than Bacon"

Farm raised hogs are way fatter then wild hogs and if you want em to have even fattier meat simply feed em a crap ton of corn.

And it's as salty as you make it.

PROBABLY MY MOUNT AND BLADE DAYS COMING BACK

 

[Woolsey]

Just wondering.

When Alexander came to us needing sailor/soldiers. Is it still a need for it?

 

[BarbarianGaming]

7 barrels of alcohol, only 2 barrels of water...your priorities seem to be in order.

 

[Baron]

Criticism: A human needs at least 1 gallon of water a day. You've got 15 crew and 63 gallons, so enough water for 4 days. If you dilute all of it into the cider, you'll have enough for 2 weeks, but a the cost of not having any fresh water if you need it.

Unless you've got plans for stretching supplies, you seem to be on a very Columbian voyage.

 

[Jayo]

Am I allowed to add more water?

 

[Baron]

I'd suggest something like a solar distillery, but I don't know how effectively it could be rigged, how much water it'd produce (not enough for 15 people), or if anyone on the crew is aware of the principles behind it. There's also the question of having the right equipment to use one to full effect, since consuming fuel to boil seawater is wasteful and dangerous on a wooden ship, and lens tech probably isn't where it needs to be to make a sufficiently large lens.

Distilleries would work fine on a beach or something due to the lower fire hazard and hopeful presence of trees for fuel, but there's no guarantee you'll find land before water runs out.

 

[Jayo]

Alright, I'm going to do some editing on this.

 

[Somnastra]

In my estimation, you can change your supplies until you leave.

I would like someone to mention what kind of time-scale you'll be using for the trip. For this sort of thing, it'll be important to know that.

 

[Jayo]

If we have rain barrels also, What will the IC time = Gallon ratio be. (If it rains)

Ex: 15 OOC min of raining = [insert gallons here]

Edit: If anyone can help me with this Medieval Medical supply stuff that'd be great
