Back to the Caves

Walking down the driveway after the recent rains, Fiorella found another fine piece of flint to add to her collection, which covers two shelves now. She has informed Husband that when the bomb is dropped and they have to head for the hills, the flint goes with them.

Husband is dubious, but Fio figures they'll need flint to make arrowheads to hunt for food and to make fires to cook it. They'll also need flint to clean animal hides for clothes and shelter. And they'll need it to make knives to defend themselves against thieves who don't have any flint of their own.

Of course, Fio has no idea how to chip flint into tools or even strike up a fire with it, but there's enough on those two shelves to lose a few to experimentation and still stay ahead of the game.
