Our later conflicts with the fauna...as we wiped out vast tracts of flora... color our assumptions..but, at the time, there was simply no point to either of us bothering with each other.
So..for reference, the most common piece of equipment we find, in the period in question, is a handaxe. A piece of stone about the size of your mouse.
You gonna take it to fuckin mufasa with that, Max..lol?
They didn't have sticks and stones? They didn't have reeds and various plant life to build things like netting? Even animal carcasses can be used to build fibrous materials to build things like traps. You don't need Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods. You don't need anything beyond what nature has to offer. You just need to turn on the light bulb in your head and make something work. Less time with the "I can'ts" and more time with the "I cans." But that's me. You be who you are, and I guess as long as you're happy, then more power to ya.
