How  much wood and food does The Man start with?

How  much wood and food does The Man start with? I want to track resources in the game but two sessions in a month has passed, and the Man has failed his Man’s Work roll each time. Should I just assume they are fed and warm until the start of summer? I had the Saga start in Spring, but we ruled that the failed roll resulted in his field being unusable until it was tilled and the soil replenished. After the two sessions, he’s accrued no labour or resources, and in fact had his stores drained by a pack of returning vikings who imposed on his hospitality.

Will the family be starving by next session, or should I house-rule the move? I was thinking on a miss, Hold 1 Labour but it counts as backbreaking in addition to the depleted farm?

Or should I just make him hire NPC workers to make up the shortfall in labour?

Reynisfjara is a wonderful and surreal black beach of shiny wet volcanic stones with spectacular sea cave Hálsanefshellir, which lies at the southwestern side of Reynisfjall, with so many interasting shapes, an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns pillars, which resembling a ‘rocky step pyramid’.

Out in the sea are the spectaculary shaped basalt sea stacks, named  Reynisdrangar situated near the village Vík.

 

Legend says that the stacks originated when two trolls dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully and when daylight broke, they became needles of rock. The stacks are 66 meters (216 ft) above sea level at their highest. The area is known for rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.

This tour is suitable and recommended for families with children. You have the option of staying in cottages, driving distances per day are moderate and child-friendly activities can be found all along the way.
