The only thing that self important twat has led is a f***ing shambles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,736 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The strongest of men can come from the most mundane of places... Steves problem is he's clearly lived a colourful life and thinks that that makes him better than others. Natural selection is taking place and he's been found out!

Truther 1,579 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you look into it the experts reckon humans domesticating dogs was a pivotal point in our success, we did it a long time before domesticating livestock, shame you're a pariah now for hunting with dogs in the losers eyes lol.

beast 1,884 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've only seen up to episode 3. I'm staggered none of these 'hunters' have been out with the bow at first light! Too busy sleeping! The boar trap is pathetic and the snares will get chewed through in minutes. It's quite a challenge though, modern man has very few of the skills and knowledge that stone age man would have found second nature. Not to mention what I imagine would have been a very different environment to what even they are in today, with domesticated dogs available and the opportunity to hunt now extinct large mammals. domestic dogs were available to mesolithic people.

And who chose them, and why? why choose veggies? Looks like they picked losers to start with to me? A point I've been trying to make. The best way to show how much 'old' knowledge has been lost, is to show people who are the furthest from it. So many times, they have struggled to use knowledge that Mesolithic people would have taken for granted from a young age.
