We have made a grand caravan to go far away to the closes settlement. We managed to tame donkeys to make travel faster but it'll still take 6 days in total for them to return home, mening the base will be grossly endangered in the meantime. Hopefully nothing bad happens.
We are carrying obscene amounts of manufactured and looted clothing, some wooden sculptures, spare leathers and many foxes (I choose to believe the foxes will be well cared for and loved), and in exchange we'll hopefully get a fuck ton of components.
