If you were on the Trail in 1850 what seven supplies would you have taken with you Why did you choose those seven?

If I were on the Trail in 1850, I would take a sturdy wagon for transportation, a reliable team of oxen for pulling, a supply of dried food for sustenance, a canteen for water, a first aid kit for medical emergencies, a rifle for hunting and protection, and a blanket for warmth and shelter. These supplies are essential for ensuring survival, mobility, and safety during the arduous journey. The dried food provides necessary nutrition without taking up too much space, while the rifle and first aid kit address potential threats and health issues.
