many didnt not have alot because there hand karts could only hold abit of weight the normally took some bread, blankets, spear shoes and socks alot of the time the men would give up there extra shoes or socks or even clothes so that there children could have another blanket or there pregnant wife becaus e alot of people in them days would prefer to die than to let there children even have a chance of gettin ill, a perfect example of this bravery is the story of the 3 pioneers who carried people across the river so they didnt get wet they ended up dying... if u havnt hear these storys or want more information go to new.lds.org or mormon.org
