I'm fine with some coin flipping tbh.

Hunting dogs normally aid hunters hunt. They aren't normally automatous.

Rats, mice, rabbits, squirrels, and other small animals shouldn't be out of their reach. It's not as extravagant as boar, bear, or deer but we can survive on it, especially if we get some Herbalist in on the action. The hunting dog can also alert us of dangers like wolf packs, bears, and boars.

You are Jehundik Vanyik, the child of the local herbalist and the most skilled hunter in Ask-Heart, and from them you have learned their trades.

From your mother you learned how to distinguish between the many kinds of local plantlife. You can form poultices and medicines, and you know which roots and mushrooms are full in nutrition, and which will kill you if not not prepared correctly. If you had a mind to, you could apply these skills to the creation of poisons, or improve meals with local herbs.

From your father you learned how to earn your meal by bow and spear. You know how to lure and trap rabbits, how to track a stag, and with help you can flush out a boar and ambush it. You can also find the tell-tale signs of dangerous creatures such as bears, and slink off to safety should you find yourself in a dangerous animals territory. You can skin, gut and clean your prize, and are probably one of the better fighters in the village, though there is little call for arms in a place as peaceful as your home.

The place mentioned in your book could be as far as a month of travel away, it may be wise to prepare first if you wish to seek such a place.

[Generally me]

Try to acquire some non-perishable foods and a couple of water bottles.

Alright, we don't start off with a hunting dog but it's not impossible for us to get one. We'll need something to carry water in, some preserved food, maybe some money, and a large sack to haul furs and trophies with. A blank book and some charcoal would certainly be of help with recording magical experiments of ours. We might also want to take some healing poultices with us so we don't have to scavenge for the materials necessary when we're injured. A tinderbox or something similar will be of great help with starting fires. A wooden pole for long-distance walking and miscellaneous uses. We'll need various lengths of ropes for snares or tying up animals or items and such. It might be wise to see if anyone else wants to come with us. They should be younger than us so that we have authority to boss them around.

Bring the following:
Hunting dog
Flask or waterskin
Preserved food
Money
Trophy/fur sack
Blank book
Charcoal sticks
Healing poultices
Tinderbox
Wooden pole/stick
Various lengths of rope

Ask around to see if anyone younger than us wants to come along.

Some of the stuff I agree with the rest I don't. By the way is this High medieval fantasy or some kind of steam punk fantasy?

EDIT: Also we should take a second read on the book the woman gave us. I remember something about magic and we could do with knowing what those spells do.

[Andres]

I reckon our currency would be accepted. Remember, in these times currency was made out of gold, silver, and proper metals. The values of currency weren't as arbitrary as they are now.

The above is what we have.

Lets just get some food and and a water skin filled with water. We should also ask about the direction we are going and explaining to our parents our intentions to explore the world. Do not mention the lady that visited us.

That is indeed what we currently have.

Why not get the other stuff as well? There's no reason not to.

EDIT: Get a quiver and some arrows as well.

EDIT2: A couple extra candles for when our one goes out.

EDIT3: And a bedroll!

EDIT4: A backpack to carry all our stuff in would probably be useful.

[3man75]

The trip will take a month give or take.

"The place mentioned in your book could be as far as a month of travel away..."

Packing light will stop a burden on ourselves and make it easier in case were attacked along the way.

[Andres]

Alright, but we do need to take certain things with us to ensure our survival.

Do we have the money to buy all this stuff?

[Generally me]

Beg,borrow and steal. No buying far too expensive.

[Mlamlah]

The community is very closeknit, your parents and certainly some of the other people you've lived your whole life with would probably be perfectly willing to provide you with basic supplies if you announce your intention to go on a long journey. Other things you could possibly even work for if you chose to tarry, as you're a generally capable person and there is always demand for another pair of hands.
The flow of currency in such a small community is not sufficient enough for coinage to change hands often, and you have no coins to speak of. It's possibly you could beg or work for a small measure of money however.
