Yeah. Again, this isn't so much about Random Encounters. It's about Camping supplies and useless junk. Right now, in the game, it's all pointless because there are no limitations.
It's like how short rest is pointless because I literally have no reason to not long rest instead. There are so many camping supplies, I can long rest after every battle and completely heal up and still have enough supplies to last a long time.
But, if short rest costs supplies, but a lot less supplies than long rests, and I have to keep some supplies on me in order to short rest, suddenly they all have purpose and I have to weigh the benefits versus the consequences. Now, they all have meaning. 16 supplies (1 supply x 4 party members x level 4) to short rest uses up a lot less than 48 (6 people at camp x level 4 x2 supplies per long rest).
