Based on recent posts, I believe that what the players WANT to do should always be number one on so small details. Since you know, they are the ones doing it
Counterpoint:The DM is also a player; one who spent potentially many days working on a setting and campaign to establish a particular mood (definitely not just me).
I’m not saying that the players have to bend over backwards to keep an encyclopedia of their inventory, but if the DM is running a relatively serious survival-focused campaign that the players have agreed to play, they should keep more careful track of their inventory for arrows, food, material components, etc.
Plus, this brings value to different proficiencies, like woodworking (for fletching), Brewer’s kits for purifying water, etc.
