Your question is absurd.

A better question is how is it that someone would have trouble buying a fishing pole and bait from the merchant without complaining about it needlessly?

Choose your battles.

Or you could sail around and find the trader, or you can use the Valheim map generator website to see where the locations for your seed is... the choice is yours, but there is some good stuff at the trader like the belt.
