In order to travel from place to place you need a sled. Sleds can be upgraded with faster and stronger dogs in order to go farther and to hold more cargo. This page contains information about how to obtain and maintain sleds.
This is the sled you upgrade to at [[Indim Expedition Location|Indim]] once you have built the Horse Station. (http://imageshack.com/a/img901/6757/O9S0E3.png)

==Dog Feeding / Navigation 101==
+
[[File:Feeddogs.png|left|370px]]Dogs must be fed in order to pull the sleds. In order to feed them Porridge and/or Fish must be available for them to eat. Dogs will not eat any food on the sled itself (they are good dogs and do not go eating the cargo.) Food must be transferred to a storage building in order for the food to count as food.
*Food Reserves means how many DAYS of food the dogs have ingested and reserved. According to the Shaman Sled pictured, the dogs have eaten 0 days worth of food, and can consume enough food to last 20 days without being fed.
+
*Days only count to get to and from expedition locations - it's not related to real time.
+
*The number of valid food available is displayed on the Team tab as (total available at this location) / (Food needed to satiate the dogs per day). That means, in the case of the Shaman Sled pictured on the left, the location has 465 porridge available and the grey dogs require two porridge to eat each day (1 per dog for a total of 2 per day.) The location has 1033 fish available and the white dogs require two fish to eat each day (1 per dog for a total of 2 per [[File:Bypass.png|thumb|left|324px]]day.)
+
*[[File:Fooddeposits.png|thumb|left|324px]]DISTANCE is the distance that sled can travel per SEGMENT for a trip. This means that for the pictured Shaman Sled, it can only travel to other locations within 150 km of the one the sled is currently at.
+
*If it is desired to make a trip to a far off destination, the player must bring enough food to deposit at other locations in order for the dogs to have a place to stop, rest, and eat. Then the player may continue on with the rest of the segments of the trip.
+
* If it is desired to make a trip to a far off destination WITHOUT stopping at each location along the way, the player may use the PASS BY WITHOUT A STOP button. Multiple locations can be routed this way. What this button does is makes the sled travel through the location - it counts as a rest or a stop, however the location screen does not appear, the sled merely resets it's allow able distance and continues on to the next location.
+
*Food is deposited at locations by first loading food onto the sled. Then when the sled arrives at the desired deposit location, click on the sled and press the UNLOAD button to deposit the food at the storage location. If there is no storage location, the UNLOAD option will not be available and a THROW AWAY button will be in it's place. If the player throws away food, it will be lost forever.

==Out of dog food?==

[[File:Feedforgems.png|left]]Sometimes a player will run out of food while on an expedition and cannot return to their main town. When this happens, there are two options:

*Pay the emeralds in order to feed the dogs.

*Unload all items to the storage building at the player's current location and then select the HOME tent icon on the bottom left corner of the game screen.''' If no storage location is available at the player's current location, the ENTIRE load of cargo will be dropped and lost forever. Items required to access locations such as the Tent, Sleeping bag, Rope ladder, etc are NOT discarded with the cargo.'''
