Put a million waterskins on your mo-tops and fill them up. No weight. Use this until you can get a cooker

If you search camel (which makes no sense) this pops up

This is one of my favorite new Dinos as it's multiple uses never fail. It's a giant canteen (and can refill your water containers in the inventory), great for carry weight (especially if you're still leveling to get the saddle unlocked!), its attacks collect berries, sap, and if you step on the "tree bushes", it gathers more wood than if you pick it by hand. If leveled well, it also does decently with defense against the smaller Dinos.

Why can you get a saddle if they aren’t in genesis 2

Just get a Jug Bug.......

And drink out of its butt.
