STONE AGE SKILLS - MOVING FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING

SPELUNKING FOR BOULDERS

I want better tools.

For that I'll need a grinding stone. For that I'll need a good hard granite boulder - I need to go into the caves.

I have a cave nearby, but it's deep so I need ladders. I also need supplies. If I go unprepared I might never make it out again. I take torches, ladders, sticks, plus food and water.

Thanks to some luck and some ladders, I was able to get all the boulders I need.

SPELUNKING FOR BOULDERS

Edit section ✍↓

With the boulders and some sand from the nearby beach I make a grinding stone. Here I can make my new best tool - an adze. I can cut wood.

I’ll make the mortar and pestle, and club too seeing as I can.

I chop some wood and I make a chopping block.

With all these new tools and work stations I can do lots of new things. I can survive with this level of technology. It’s primitive, but I could go on perfectly well without advancing further.
