You find a male Ekkalo and another female. You go back and carve a stone in a few hours and some of your men do as well. What now?

You carve a lance in a few hours and the grab the furs. But you are far too hungry to even think about any more carving.

We'll start digging small holes about 1.5 feet apart in a big circle in the village. When done, we'll stick wood posts into them, and fill the space in the hole with dirt, to make a basic pen. We'll try to lead the animals into the circle, then tie poles horizontally with vines to make a basic pen.

It takes a few hours but you get the pen made. You lead them in. What now?

One large container (larger capacity, more weight) or indiviual containers (takes more time, less capacity, less weight)?

I'll tie sticks to the shovel blades, to make full shovels.

If we have enough wood, we build a large container to keep in camp and smaller containers to transport it. If the wood is not that much, then just all the small containers we can.

With what? Sinew would be the best but you have no fresh kill. Vines would work temporarily.

You can split the wood in half and use half for the camp and half for individual containers. It will take about 3 days.

Oh, you're right. I'll send out a 15-man hunting party, and I'll stay in the village. I'll take a very short pole, and carve it out to make a primitive flute.

Then we should get started as soon as possible. We do half and half. Also, I hang the intestines to dry, in order to get thread from them.

That takes meticulous crafting and smaller tools. But your men head out. What will you do while they are gone?

You hang the intestines and get started on the tree but don't have much daylight. You have about 2 hours.

I'll gather dry moss and leaves, and place them in a pile in the village center. I'll place logs in a teepee around it, then gather the villagers around, and strike flint and a rock onto the moss and leaves.

You make a roaring fire. They all admire you as their leader. But winter is approaching fast and you'll need shelter. The air is getting colder everyday. What do you do?
