I’m glad I don’t live in a time period where I’d have to hunt or gather. Gathering I’d be fine at, in fact I would likely excel at gathering. However, I don’t know if hunting is my cup of tea. I can be aggressive and confident, but it’s not natural for me and I’d rather relax, sitting in a field picking berries than tackle a wild boar. That being said, if I lived in a time period where any of this was necessary, even gathering would likely be quite dangerous and I would need to learn to defend myself from animals or rivals.

Which bring me to my point: I think I would enjoying making spears. Making spears to defend myself against animals that attacked me while I was gathering would be fun. I like working with my hands and if I made my own spear I could customize it to be more effective in defense. Like for instance, poison-tipped rocks from poisons I gathered or collected from frogs. I could get on board with that. I’d leave the true hunting for food to the aggressive, type A personalities while I gathered berries with my poison spear.
