Popped into the Ranger forum a bit ago; it has been a bit since I was last in there. It has become a bit too medieval/norse for me, who is a fearsome Tolkien Middle Earth fan. I save my historical reenactment for paleotech, medieval hunting, and similar. Too much of a purist I guess; a character flaw.
Anyway. I have three atlatl darts...these have archery field points for target use and so I can become proficient with the weapons system without shattering flint tips, which require a fair bit of work to make. Flint tips would also do horrible things to the target. ;)
Looking at adding a plunge drill to my collection; it could make fire or be used for drilling holes when it was tipped with flint bits.
I will hopefully be working with bone and antler soon, to make needles, awls, shuttles for weaving, and whatnot.
Mulling over a kind of...I dunno what to call it...a kind of experience. Ah, can't go into detail at this point but it would involve some folk doing a number of things of paleo nature and then relating the experience. Sounds lame that way but I really do not want to go into details just now.
Anyway, hoping to be able to brain tan some hides here soon...and then make some garments of it.
