    Bronze peddler. “Hello, have you heard of bronze? Just attach it to your axe instead of stone. No more annoying stone chopping! And look, it’s shiny!”

    Oh! I’m actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

    I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There’s a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I’d actually be a decent person to have around!

      That’s a pretty excellent school to go to, hell I wish I had that level of training

      Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.

      Gork: “Stick go thud. I want go stab”
      Pepsison: “Have you tried rebooting it?”
      Gork: “?”
      Pepsison: “Sorry, old habit” Sharpens his spear “try it now”
      Gork: “Gork happy. Gork bring you mammoth”

      And with Gork happy I’m sure he can help you find the right twigs twine and logs to make a primitive cart. Soon you and Gork can haul all the mammoth you’d ever need.

    Knapping flint while fishing. And shitting under a tree. I feel like my ancestors have more in common than I thought.
