    Winter approaches

    Winter approaches and the Caveman worries. His cave is empty as the lakes freeze and snow falls. Will he be able to find enough during his hunts to survive winter? His last hunt brought light to the cave, in the form of a working fluorescent light that some other Neanderthal had discarded. This will help in future dismantling, but brings no food to the Caveman tonight. Also found on the hunt was a baby caveman's bicycle with two flat tires. The Caveman reminisces about his youth and the discovery of the wheel and is unable to tear the Huffy down.



    Now the Caveman sits. With plenty of light to look at a kids bike. The hunt continues......

    50% wood and 50% plastic from processed scrap make a good fire, burns good and hot in a makeshift barrel stove.

    Oak takes to long to dry, about 11 months. Ever burn weeping willow? Pops to much. Elm and Maple is it round these parts.

    The Caveman thinks that sometimes, but it's hard to live with out them. Currently there is one circling the Caveman's cave looking for an invite. The Caveman is doing his best to stay vigilant to keep the cave opening guarded.

    Daylight brings a new day and with nothing in the cave to scrap the Caveman must go hunt.
