>> If they can afford a flop room, that might be better than nothing. <<
That's true.
>> The First-Aid training might be cheaper in Terramagne than here, <<
Typically, yes. Reservations with a college have an edge. The Blackfeet Community College offers several health-related degrees and one-year certificates. Logically they should be offering classes in basic first aid, CPR, drunk care, overdose first aid, etc.
>> and I'm sure someone can scrounge up something to use as a cot. <<
Hopefully, but it remember that reservations include the poorest counties in North America. A few with casinos are rich; the ones with colleges, like the Blackfeet Reservation, are doing tolerably okay; and some still have people freeze to death every winter for lack of heat.
>> If town is small enough, some guy with a truck could be an improvised safe ride van, for anyone who isnt sobered up at closing. <<
That's a good solution.
>> (Might not be as useful if in an area where crossroads are 1/2hrs drive - yep, America's /big/.) <<
The Blackfeet Reservation contains about 3,000 square miles. The distance between Polebridge and Cut Bank is about 129 miles by car, or 90 miles straight. Some people on a reservation are far-flung, but a lot will be in the town around the bar.
>> ...I also have the odd idea of Saul sometimes being the safe-ride guy when in town. (He's got the big truck, seems pretty chill with grumpy people, and has an easier time finding childcare with two-almost-three other adults in the house.) <<
That makes sense. You could prompt for it with dialecticdreamer.
