And some other carpentry tools too, for wagon repairs. Speaking of wagon repairs and Oregon Trail: spare wheels or at the very least spare hubs and spare felloes and spokes. Also, lard for the hubs, tar, pith, also useful for caulking. Really a whole plethora of supplies. And clothes.
The main contents of their wagon are:
* A single barrel.
* A large crate.
* Two backpacks with sleeping bags / tour mattresses on top.
* Three large bundles covered on canvas.
* Small crumbled bundle of canvas.
* The wagon has a locked compartment.
I assume the wooden crate must be their pantry, and the locked compartment would be where the tools and spares would be kept. Still, seems they are running low on supplies.
FunkyTuba:
Why when Ardent touched the wagon did it not turn into a Ferrari? an 18-wheeler? a Stagecoach at least?
brasca:
Ardent's powers have limitations. If Sedna had a restored Model T truck touching it might upgrade it into an F-150 or possibly the Jetson's bubble car, but she has a bird drawn wagon.
Ardent's powers will come in handy when they meet the archaeophiles. If they've recovered and moderately restored a space shuttle then touching it will be his and Gavia's ticket home.

Spring (spring): no
Scissors (lever): no
Seesaw (lever): no
Eggbeater (wheel/axle): no
Wind up bird: (spring + wheel/axle + levers): yes
Pump: (wheel/axle + levers + motor(etc) ): yes
Cart (wheel/axle + lever): apparently no
So is it complexity that's the factor? or is it useful management of stored energy? or is intent involved (as Alice was musing a couple of strips later)
Kugai:
I would suggest it has to be some form of working mechanical device such as the Pump or the Wind Up Bird. I wonder what would have happened if Artent had touched the Wind Turbine
