         FOOD - THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE LESS CHANCE THERE

    YOU CAN SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY BEFORE YOU START YOUR TRIP -
    OR YOU CAN SAVE SOME OF YOUR CASH TO SPEND AT FORTS ALONG
    THE WAY WHEN YOU RUN LOW. HOWEVER, ITEMS COST MORE AT
    THE FORTS. YOU CAN ALSO GO HUNTING ALONG THE WAY TO GET
    MORE FOOD.
    WHENEVER YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR TRUSTY RIFLE ALONG THE WAY,
    YOU WILL BE TOLD TO TYPE IN A WORD (ONE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A
    GUN SHOT). THE FASTER YOU TYPE IN THAT WORD AND HIT THE
    **RETURN** KEY, THE BETTER LUCK YOU'LL HAVE WITH YOUR GUN.
     
    AT EACH TURN, ALL ITEMS ARE SHOWN IN DOLLAR AMOUNTS
    EXCEPT BULLETS
    WHEN ASKED TO ENTER MONEY AMOUNTS, DON'T USE A **$**.
     
    GOOD LUCK!!!
