We've had variations of this idea MANY times now. I was at least hoping to read a variation where it is a reality TV show where contestants are put in a simulated paleolithic environment and the person who has the most modern technology at the end of 6 months wins. |

Yeah, that would be wicked cool. Why couldn't you think of
something cool like that, doc? |
|
| |
All snark aside, I like the idea, probably because I'm one of
those idiots who has actually gone out and tried it (on a
regular basis since age nine or ten). There's a piece of flint
still embedded in my palm from early experimentation in
blade-making. |

I read the linked book a few months ago, and found it quite engaging. |

I'm not sure how this differs, except for the pointlessness of making a modern appliance that can't be used in the pseudo-time period in which it's made. |

It would be for entertainment and to see how hard it
would be to build a post apocalyptic toaster. |
|

I think anybody who can go out into the woods with
nothing but a loincloth and bring back a handmade
toaster is a man to be reckoned with. |

There are countries like Mexico where they do this on a regular basis...it's called life. If you've even seen a Mexican construction site, the scaffolding is made from bamboo and rope. [see link] |
|
| |
Where do they find bamboo in Mexico? Is it imported? |
|
| |
Bamboo grows in many regions, as there are many varieties, so some kinds grow in Mexico.[see link] |
|
| |
Bamboo is native to Africa, Asia, Australia and the
Americas, [Alter]. Only Europe and Antarctica don't have
native bamboo species. |

Good to know. I learn something new every day, wether I
want to or not. |

Whereas I learn the same thing, every day, over and
over again--"I should've stayed in bed..." |
