Im not sure if this post matters but im bored.

Ive debated on making stickers or candles just to learn something but im unsure as i dont have a use for them afterwards, havent tried it yet because i overthink.

Should i go with one of the crafts i suggest or is there something more suited for men out there, maybe bread making?

    Don’t get much cheaper than bushcraft/primitive survival! The materials are everywhere. A primitive stone knife is my next project: get a nice piece of flint from a river bed, a decent hammer stone, a few other simple items, and start knapping. It’s amazing how sharp a piece of stone can get! Or, build a fire, expand it to a mud kiln and fire some earthware pottery you just worked from the land. Reclaim some dead timber and build a small cabin. Collect various grasses and make a basket. And, start a fire via friction. Learn how we did it thousands of years ago.

    Watching guys do primitive/outdoor shit like this makes me hot for a caveman bonk.
