While traveling, there were very few opportunities for fresh food. Most of the food supplies that were taken on the trail were things that are shelf stable, such as cornmeal, flour, grains (wheat, oats, etc), dry beans, and dried/salted beef or pork. Men hunted for fresh meat when they had the opportunity, women gathered edible plants along the trail when they could be found. In some areas, fruits and vegetables were planted along the trail to be harvested by later groups.
