I love to see Heather geeking out on these things.  I also like the way that we're working together in OOC to decide what is possible for them. I think this is more interesting to jump back and forth and propose various different ideas OOCly like this.  That lets us really explore their situation in a way that would be time-consuming to do in character.  This lets us talk around the process and bat around ideas and when we get to it, we can let our characters work to what we plan out.<br/><br/>I like the antler fire-starter.  Dead fat guy has a lighter on him, but it won't last.  There are many horned animals present including deer and moose.  Animal tusks and teeth might work the same way.  There you have your sabertooth tiger and wooly mammoth.<br/><br/>There are indeed yucca plants in modern Texas, but you won't find many in 50,000 BC as the climate is much colder.  I believe the plains indians also used animal (particularly buffalo) sinew for lashings.  Also I was discussing rope with Mrsjaz.  The marijuana in dead fat guys car is rough cut, which means it has seeds and could potentially be grown.  Marijana was cultivated as hemp for rope for thousands of years and still is.<br/><br/>I'm looking forward to Heather geeking out.<br/><br/>Anyone have any ideas on how the could cut steel?  All I can think of is drop big rocks on it until tears and then hammer and fold the pieces.<br/>
