If I was gonna run a caravan, i would make sure im completely ready for my own survival, and have the acquaintence of several other people ready to fend for themselves if they had to. Then i would make a cool name, like Wolfpack (Fallout 3)

it all about risk. If you can make the caravan work your fortune is made. If you cant make it work you are dead.

So basically it is about common sense and preparation, just like everything else.

Hm. A large amount of supplies with little protection... Make a stop in Kentucky, and I'll make you an offer.

"Hm. A large amount of supplies with little protection... Make a stop in Kentucky, and I'll make you an offer."And from me, you would get a single 7.62x54r. Hope you like that caliber. Do you find this valuable? |

"I know you'd be in groups.Do you really think that attacking a caravan that is carrying food and ammo would endear you to the next settlement you come across? Especially if someone survives the attack and warns the settlement. Edit: Or if someone finds the site of the attack. Do you find this valuable? |

Also, what are they going to do?"Hey guys, let's all attack a heavily armed group of raiders because they shot a traveling salesman!" 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

"You'd all die though. The next settlement would be US, genius."So, instead of peacefully trading, you would kill everyone and establish yourselves as the barbarians of the apocalypse? Do you not realize that attacking a caravan would prevent other ones from going to that area? It would produce short term supplies. Whereas with trading, you could feasibly get supplies forever, if you have something the traders want. Do you find this valuable? |

"Also, what are they going to do?Nope, they would be like this "ok people, we can't afford to send anymore caravans to x settlement (your settlement) because one of the caravans we sent was taken out by raiders. So if they want supplies, they are sh*t out of luck." Better to scavenge and find something the caravan traders want. Better to barely get by forever, but still have food, than to gorge out for a week, then run out of food. Do you find this valuable? |

"Nope, they would be like thisYou're not listening. What point is it trading? We'd need to have supplies to trade. Also, I wouldn't raid you at my settlment. Down the road about 20 miles, indeed. Do you find this valuable? |

"You're not listening.What part of scavenge the surrounding area aren't you getting? You will find plenty of stuff (car parts, guns, ammo, gas, etc.) that traders would want. I am going to make a point, now, of never sending out a caravan with less than 10 men with automatic weapons. If I find out a caravan was taken out in your area, your people would suffer, because of your greed. Do you find this valuable? |
