1.2 Food (Short-term)

• Foraging: Focus on calorie-dense, low-risk plants (nuts, acorns, dandelion, cattail). Avoid mushrooms unless expert.
• Hunting/trapping: Snare wire, fish hooks from bone/thorns, deadfall traps.
• Preservation: Sun-drying, smoking over low fire, salt from evaporated seawater or mineral deposits.

4.2 Communication & Transport

• Messenger system with relay stations (every 20 km).
• Semaphore towers (visual telegraph using movable arms) – can send messages 100 km in minutes.
• Roads: Stone-paved with drainage – prioritize connections between farm districts and mines.
• Ships: Dugout canoes → plank boats with pine tar sealant → small sailing vessels.
