Being a Caveman- Week 144 Weekend - Engagement

Hello all I'm taking part in @galenkp weekend engagement topic. My very first article taking on a topic offered by another author here on this platform. Please check out his article
and consider choosing a topic.

Actual photos by me of Rushmore Cave, South Dakota

I am an outdoorsman and thought of going back lets say 15,000 years does not fear me. I would welcome the opportunity to live off the land and be resourceful of what nature has to offer me.

The cave life for me will be in an under ground cave. The temperature in Rushmore Cave for instance stays constant around 15 degrees Celsius all year around. So it's not freezing but not warm. This is the type of cave I would hope to find. Our animal skin/fur clothing and blankets will suit us well.

Who should I choose to accompany me as a cave women? Well I'm not going to look everywhere so I'm selecting some one right here in the Hive community. Hey this is for fun, right? So without further review this person is @duvinca and let me share why.

She is an excellent nature observer, this will help her gather fruits and vegetables through out the woods. Also she is up to the task of adverse weather because she has spent quite some time in the windy City of Chicago. Being very active is in her DNA. She goes for walks and runs often. I need a cave women who is athletic.

I think her niche in great photography and finding awesome street art can translate into some nice wall art in our cave. Also I'm sure her culinary skills will be a huge bonus. She could also help me with my Cave Spanish. I'll some day reward her with a saber tooth necklace.

There needs to be a set schedule everyday to include tasks. One task would be getting wood. We need wood for fire, arrows, and spears. Another task would be collecting water. We need it not only to drink but to clean up with.

Maybe not a dailey activity but we need to forage for food. With streams thier are fish and on land there are animals. We would forage smaller animals in the warmer months and larger ones in the winter.

Thinking a woolly mammoth 🦣 would have been a very resourceful animal to harvest. What a tall task it must have been to take one down though. Obviously it would offer much food, an abundance of fur and of course those tusks. Fur could be used for clothing, blankets, forming some comfy shoes and other usages. Tusks could be repurposed into tools, blow horns, and maybe even into drinking cups.

Another thing to gather would be rocks and stones. We would use these to make tools, use for the outer brim of the fire pit, and for flat surfaces to do tasks such as harvesting our food sources.

Interesting topic to write about and it makes you think what it must have been like living way back when. There's going off the grid but going fully caveman is something that I would guess that not many could do. Do you think you have what it takes to be a caveman?

This all I have, I hope you all enjoyed. All photos were taken and owned by me. Have a great rest of your weekend!!
