Hey Old Dudes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think you guys will understand this. It seems that after spending half a century camping and climbing it all kinda seems so second nature, and my wife doesn't even notice that I still solo climb, like "well hes a big boy and knows what hes doing". You have to do something different just to make it fun. A friend of mine is into the old time reenactment stuff with buckskin and such.

I'm about 1/6 native american and sometimes I like to kinda think like a primative and only carry things that my ancesters may have had, with the understanding that I do not have a horse and a travis so I can't carry clay or woven pots and I don't have time to live off the land. But anyway here is some of my Native camping gear. Oh and sometimes I carry a small kit and make an arrowhead while camping.

Heres a scallop shell spoon on the end of a pair of koa chopsticks, an obsidian knife and a roll of leather thong for hanging my deer in a tree. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and a snake skin head band to hold my feather.

What are you laughing at? They knew a heck of a lot more about living out in nature than any of us... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



Theres an obsidian "pocket knife" and a bird point.
