You know, I don't see how this applies at all. What the heck am I needing to prove? I listed humdrum supplies, nothing special. Post count spamming, maybe? Anyways, I have lost two sharks before, and yes, I do take the shortcut. I'd rather lose no sharks and drop the pouch. The end inventory is the same (1 spot empty), but I hate fishing for sharks. Not like I've really needed the food though (except the time I got my prayers mixed up and met Dharok in the tunnels).
