In the Hunger Games movie why did the Careers put the landmines so close to their food?
Seems kind of silly to put all your supplies within the blast radius of a land mine. If a Tribute were foolish enough to step on one, wouldn't everything explode? Thats an expensive way to kill someone for the Careers who from my understanding aren't the greatest hunters/gatherers?

they didn't have enough land mines to cover the ground well enough further away from the food, and they also assumed if one mine went off, they might lose some of the food but not all of it. they didn't plan on a bag of apples dropping and setting them all off. finally, they left a guard who was supposed to head off this kind of trouble to begin with.

Well yes the supplies were important but it was much more important to kill people. When they killed everyone off they wouldn't need to worry about food, they probably assumed they could easily get some more. And also the careers aren't all that bright i mean sure they're skilled but they didn't really rely on any survival techniques they just focused on killing everyone.

So they could protect their supplies so none of the other tributes could get at it. But as you see, some people are smarter than the other.
