Description
Live Like a Hunter Gatherer is an informative and immersive guide to the Stone Age, written by a real-life hunter-gatherer. If you imagined that all Stone Age people lived in caves, were not very clever, not very clean, and said "Ugg" a lot, then think again. Marking the start of all human history, the Stone Age lasted around 3.5 million years (the last part of that was only 71 grandparents ago!).
Delve into that incredible time with this book packed full of amazing facts, information, crafts, storytelling and myth debunking to find out what it was really like to live as a hunter-gatherer. Dotted throughout the book are step-by-step craft activities and recipes that give you first-hand experience of some vital Stone Age skills. Making a Mesolithic shelter, fat lamps, a digging stick, creating cave art, making a bow and arrow, and a fishing hook are just a few.
Ages: 5 to 11
Author: Naomi Walmsley runs Outback2Basics with her partner, Dan Westall, from their patch of woodland in Shropshire, UK. Specialising in bushcraft and Stone Age skills, they provide unique experiences for school children and teachers to connect to nature. Naomi is a qualified bushcraft instructor and Forest School Leader and believes that every child should be able to safely light a fire and have at least ten uses for a stick by the age of ten.
She has also written for many magazines, including Bushcraft & Survival Skills, LivingWoods, and Juno. So passionate are they about the Stone Age way of life, they have actually lived and breathed it for themselves. Naomi and Dan undertook a five-month Stone Age immersion experience in the US in 2010, living in the wilderness without any modern equipment, profoundly influencing their lives and teaching.
Recently (Sept 2020), they appeared in Channel 4's fascinating documentary Surviving the Stone Age, a three-part series filmed in Bulgaria with six other Stone Age experts living as a tribe of hunter-gatherers for one month. Naomi has co-authored two previous books for GMC Publications; Forest School Adventure and Urban Forest School.
