Of Buttons and Velcro

I have added a button! You can add one too. Zib made a button and BadAmy made one too with a lamb on it if they please you, you can use that one or use them both. You can find the lamb button here. I mainly spin my own cotton so I chose the plant based button. Either way, it's all good, as long as it is natural.

I have been trying to figure out what I could possibly pack that would work as a Dutch Oven yet also serve other purposes. Fresh baked bread would be nice. Maybe we can dig a hole and line it with stones. That means we will need a shovel. There must be multi-use shovels out there somewhere. Are there Swiss Army shovels? Does anybody else imagine the Swiss Army to be full of holes with cookoos popping out of the holes? Are cookoos extinct? I am supposed to be working here and how can I when there is so much research to be done?

I think I will make some eye pillows for the trip. Eyes like pillows.

Emmm, Hello! Sasha!

I am an archaeologist!

I know ALL ABOUT lining pits with stones and cooking things in them! It is my job! So do not fret, I have that covered! AND, I know how to make an impromptu shovel out of shoulder bones, or I can bring my all purpost avalanche shovel!

So yes, no oven is necessary.

But eye pillows! They sound cool. I have never had such a thing! and certainly wouldn't know how to make one!

Swiss Army Sarah, too. I can knap flint and make all kinds of potentially useful stone tools for the journey!

But tell me Sasha...where is the destination?

Of course you know how to line a pit with stones!

Great, okay. I have flora id. covered. Edible plants, plants that heal, plants that color wild woollies. I don't do mushrooms though.

Well, good luck! The other thing you can cook over an open fire is flat bread. You just need really hot rocks of a certain size, and I guess it would help if they were at least somewhat clean.

Don't think anyone would object to ye traditional marshmallows, either. Yummy, gooey goodness!

Flat breads like roti would be easy to do. Of if you can milk your mammoth you could make mammoth butter. Sarah could dig up potatos and onions and there you go, parathas!
