would you survive the stone age
if this earth was plunged back into the stone age how would you cope

heres some ideas , food dandilion leaves, and roots wild garlic rose hips hazel nuts burdock root horseradish root , honey , deer , worms , but insides removed and dryed ,squirrel , , mint , black berries apples , elderberries ,fish camomile [daisies ]nettles both types stinging for cooking and tea non stinging for sweet sap in white pods


spears , arrors , and nets made from stripping trees of bark and twisting weaving digging traps for animals



systems for storing smoking meat and salting if near sea salty water boil of water retreave salt


urine yes it can be used to cure animal skins remove all fat tissiues that are left urinate on it and rub down with salt strech out and leave to dry

when fully dry smoke them by putting damp leaves on fire and allowing skins to smoke above to remove any invaders


bones splintered can be used as needles tools after boiling to get maximum
goodness from them


using natural shelters such as caves or closly grown trees for shelter making out special ones in area for hunting or gathering foreges


join in any ideas

We are surrounded by metal.

Even after a Collapse there will be scrap metal all over the place.


You can take that metal and re forge it into any new tool you need.


At the most we would get set back to the Iron Age.

If you are on the internet, the chances anyone of you would is slim to none no matter how often you do a weekend camping trip. First winter would finish you off with a list of things that can go wrong that's as long as your arm.

Re: would you survive the stone age
if the area is clay based then cooking pots clay ovens and raised beds

with fire inside during the day then top put on at night as clay would hold the heat like the cave homes of morroco keeps the shelter warm fire inside out of rain snow ect and used to sleep on at night

So was I. Didn't have a TV in the house until I was 10, mainly because my parents couldn't afford one. Even then the only channel on TV was CBC.

BTW: Guess what won't be available if it comes down around your ankles? Meds. Before you go on about age and wisdom, I might point out that all those meds in your blister pack and bathroom cabinet come from stores and with no factories, whats in there is as long as you live.

Re: would you survive the stone age
was puzzled why some of the group didnt know some really basic things
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67906060

I was rather baffled that they struggled so badly to find the lake.
They had been told it was to the East of them - all you have to do is keep the Sun in approximately the right position, and you will keep your course more-or-less true.
If you're walking for more than an hour or two, you can estimate the Sun's movement and allow for it.

And none of them can fish.....
Oh dear!


In the camp:
First night I would find North using the stars, and put a marker on the ground - then next day I would make a rough'n'ready sundial, so at least you'd have an idea of the passing of time.

Quoted to add:
They obviously won't have watches - but anyone who went back to that situation after TSHTF, would almost certainly have at least one (I have a number of good quality manual watches)
If you have a watch, you can work out direction quite easily by pointing the hour hand at the Sun, and using a simple bit of mental arithmetic.

I misread your post as Stoned Age, and yes I did survive but it was a close thing, had to hone my stoner skills for most of the 60's but survive I did.

Just about everything they do is dependent on daylight.
If you have an approximation of the time, you can manage what daylight you have far more effectively.
