Drying Rack Surplus
A base cooking area with a drying rack, near your regular food storage and travel preparation point.
- A drying rack at camp.
- Raw meat from land animals or fish from a trap or spear.
- Inventory space to carry preserved food.
Drying excess meat and fish preserves food for later trips and makes a hunt or fishing visit useful beyond the immediate meal.

Use a drying rack at camp as the processing step after collecting food. Keep enough fresh catch for current needs, then load surplus meat or fish for preservation. This is distinct from cooking on a fire: the rack prepares stored provisions for later rather than serving the immediate meal.
Repeatable processing loop whenever you bring home new meat or fish; each load is limited by the food you collect and rack capacity.
Stop loading once your expedition food reserve is sufficient or the rack is full; resume after the next hunting or fishing return.

A well-placed Fish Trap turns a visible-fish water spot into a repeatable food check that fits ordinary base returns.
Animal meat and fish provide food for expeditions; collecting and preserving surplus reduces reliance on opportunistic finds.
Planters let you turn gathered seeds into a local supply of berries or herbs, reducing the need to find every plant in the wild.
