I noticed that there is a real need for gathering food and other rations as your Rest in camp cannot benefit unless one has enough (40 for a full rest and recovery). But, the problem obviously is that these supplies have weight and their accumulation impacts on total load ability, especially if I want to collect a few exploding barrels to throw at enemies in battle. At any rate, I thought that I could use the "Traveler's Chest" in camp as a storage larder or pantry and stuffed it with about 120 pounds of food rations, emptying my entire party's food bags. But then when I go to rest, the game now tells me that I have not enough food supplies to rest. This is ridiculous. I mean, it matters little to the game mechanics whether I have it on my person or access to it in the camp. So now I have to go into the Travel Chest every time to both unload my gather supplies AFTER I'd rested so that I don't have to carry excess weight. They should have a 'send to camp food locker' command for all food supplies and automatically account for usage from that supply, IMHO...

That's weird. I send all my food to camp immediately after I pick it up and the game let's me select that food to long rest. Maybe just take the 40 food you need out of the chest before you rest if your game is being picky.

I believe the game warns when you don't have food in your current inventory when you go to camp, but obv. once you get there, you can long rest without an issue, as you have the food in your travelers chest.

Yeah, I think that was it. I was finally able to rest. But funny thing is, when I did it on subsequent times after going out of the game and then going back in, it somehow 'found' the food supplies and showed all the different variety of food stuff that was in a food supply bag that I stripped from Lae-zel.
