If there are four members of your family, you should bring at least 600 pounds of flour, 100 for sugar, 400 for bacon, 60 for coffee and 200 for lard. You should also bring the animal oxen because they generally eat native grasses. You should also bring cooking utensils, clothing, luxury items like chamber pot or schoolbooks.
