I'll combine it with travel unless something happens.
Keep track of rations at 1.5/day for the sake of immersion, there is a break at about 12:00 to rest for half an hour. The number of miles walked is calculated accordingly.
Did you know, those suspensionless covered wagons traveled 20+ miles a day on good terrain and no one typically rode in them because they were so harsh.
An industrious Artificer could develop carts with comfort in mind and make millions. Though suspension was invented in the 15th century and there were designs as old as the 9th with at least a few examples as early as 2000 years ago, colonists in the US had no choice but to accept two choices suspensionless ones that were available for rugged journeys and heavy loads pulled by mules, oxen or horses if they could afford them or pull a small cart themselves in some cases.
Mules were considered sure footed for rough terrain, oxen were considered dependable for towing heavy loads and the maintenance of horses was the most expensive, they needed special feed and time to run around while mules and oxen were happy to eat rough forage.
