That's it.
I think the danger was just a reference to being on the quest in general.
Well done. Your turn.

Talking about Brandybucks/Tooks in the Shire? First chapter? Either said to Gaffer, or by him.

I can't read your mind, but it certainly sounds like you're on the right track.

The Gaffer to Daddy Twofoot about the Brandybucks, in way of discussing Frodo's lineage:
"They fool about with boats on that big river - and that isn't natural."

Ah, right. Child was around, so here you go:
Let's walk and climb more without breakfast!

Said no hobbit ever.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

But seriously is that either Frodo or Sam, possibly already in Mordor and without anything left to eat?
The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

This would be Bilbo grumbling to the Dwarves in Erebor: "More walking and more climbing without breakfast! I wonder how many breakfasts, and other meals, we have missed inside that nasty clockless, timeless hole?"
