A request from Dan:I am curious about clothing fabrication… especially shoes…
Some thoughts from Steve:
*Whole tree architecture - I am curious about how local native indians may have started out designing a long house. My theory is that maybe if a tree fell in a storm and it ended up proped up at one end all you would have to do is lay some rafter of small poles, some cedar bark roofing and wolla!
*Learn about how to identify and cultivate wild edible plants, much like I am told that native americans did with camas.
*mushroom identification
*staying warm in a winter climate - ie: burning things, having a bed partner, fur clothing etc…
*food preservation - drying, pickleing - not sure what would be considered primitive, although “living food on the hoof” sounds like the natural way to preserve meat.
