In 1812, Cuthbert Grant ran a small North West Company post on the Qu'Appelle River. He was 19.

The pemmican is packed in rawhide bags. Now help Grant get it to the canoe brigades!

A crew leaves Grant's post with 3 bags of pemmican — about 270 pounds — and eats about 9 pounds a day.

The food left follows a pattern: F = 270 − 9d, where d is days of travel. Will it last?
