Gear for the day to day...

Along with "modern" gear that was announced in the our previous update, Phoxx has completed his selection process and chosen the early technology that he will be taking with him. These tools and supplies date from the early paleolithic era and will be his primary equipment. The gear that was announced in the modern list will be reserved as a back-up in emergency situations. Keep in mind, such items will not be used as a quick fix if things get uncomfortable and his coziness be compromised but rather, to keep Phoxx safe should he exhaust every other option and be left facing life threatening conditions.

An example of an emergency scenario would be...
Phoxx is unable to find stone for making the tools
that he would need to make fire equipment. The temperature steadily drops to such that would likely result
in a hypothermic condition. Phoxx would then resort to using the steel knife to make a fire and prevent his core temperature from decreasing to a potentially fatal level.

So here it is.

3 clay bowls for cooking and other various tasks.
1 large stone blade (4 inches approx)
1 small stone blade (2 inches)
1 stone chopper for heavier tasks
5-7 different styles of bone hooks for fishing
1 bone awl
1 pair of braintan pants
1 sleeveless braintan shirt
1 long sleeve braintan shirt
1 braintan pouch or backpack for carrying gear
100+ ft of cordage woven from plant fiber for fishing, shelter making and any other time Phoxx needs to tie his world together.

Every piece of gear listed here will of course, be made by Phoxx, specifically for his voyage.
