What to Do With Your Fire

Different Uses and Makings of the New, Amazing Fire

Fire has become one of the most useful things yet. But some of the prehistoric population out there, are having difficulty with how to make, and what to do with fire, so we have come up with  few suggestions. 

How to make it:
For those of us wondering how to create fire, here is a guideline:

1.Clear an area, we don't want to lose those animal skins, do we?
2.Get 2 sticks(not wet or the fire won't light), or stones.
3.Find a dry log and make a small hole.
4.Rapidly turn the sticks in a hole in the dry log.
5.Enjoy your fire.

Lightning can also produce fire, so it makes your job of having to create it that much easier. 

Many people are using this fantastic new gift to keep dry, and warm on cool nights. Make sure to stay a safe distance away, as fire is very hot and dangerous.

Fire helps with clearing out brush and undergrowth quickly.

It can be used as a weapon, against wild animals, if one would wander to your cave.

The thing that people are loving most though, is that it allows them to eat cooked food, which is easy to chew, and quicker as well. That is a new favourite for many bands. 

Be cautious with your fire, as it can spread quickly, and burn you, and the surrounding area down.

Past and Present Tools

Latest (and not so latest) tools 
in the Neolithic Age                                         

                             

There are multiple choices when it comes to tools. The early tools were made of sticks and stones that were found on the ground. Then there were the Olduvan pebble tools, which were made from pebbles or stones about the size of a fist.



Types of  Flake



The newest tool in the Prehistoric world is the Flake. They are sharp edged chips made from stones, and surprisingly strong.

Flakes are great as knives, and can butcher animals quickly and efficiently. Great for scraping wood branches into sharp points to use as digging sticks or meat skewers.

New owners of a Flake commented that "These were the best tools that they have ever had."

Flakes are a hot new item, so make sure you get yours soon.

Creative New Ways to Cook for a Large Group

Feeling the time crunch when meal time comes around, and lunch/supper isn't ready yet? Yes, we've all been there, so I am going to give you some tips on how to avoid these horrible dilemmas, while still getting your band eating on time.



Types of clay pots available

First, get the men to start cooking the meat, elephant, or antelope are great choices, and don't waste the bones, skins or fat, as they are useful items.

Second, get the kids to help. They can collect fresh berries, or honey, while you prepare the main dish.

Third, at this point, the meat should be done, so you can put the cooked meat in your homemade clay pots.   

 

                                                                    

Fourth, sprinkle on some dirt, or other tasty flavours to spice up your meal, such as berry juices, or crushed nuts for texture.

Lastly, gather your band together, and enjoy your meal.

I hope these few tips helped you in your quest for dinner success.
