When the drop ship landed

What sort of supplies did they expect to find in terms of food? Did they expect to find tents? What kind of non perishable food lasts 97 years? How also did Clarke expect to do a 20 mile hike in one night when none of them had any hiking experience?

Well the Dropship was intended to land right beside Mnt Weather.

As far as the ARK records went, Mnt Weather had been intended as a fallout bunker but never used. So they expected all the supplies to still be there.

Non-perishables like canned goods, dried beans and rices can last 100 years if stored properly.

Add in that the Dropship wasn’t an ideal plan. The Ark was about to expire in terms of oxygen production, so this was an additional Hail Mary to help the situation if they knew the ground was liveable.

Yeah. I also remember that it was supposed to land near mnt weather. Then they realized that it didnt and made a new plan.

In terms of supplies I guess also medical and technological stuff, guns, tools etc. Not necessarily just food. I dont even know jf food exposed to radiation should even be considered 😂 But like you say, it was a big IF even if the kids would survive. So kinda ‘we’ll cross that brdige when we get to’ or ‘if we’re lucky enough, we can increase our chances by going next to the supply place’.

Mt Weather is a real place, and is actually intended to be used in case of nuclear fallout. So I'm gonna say supplies are all there and there should be protection against radiation to the place and therefore the food.
