RE: 10,000 BC - MaryN - 11 February 2015
You have got to admit, it does have a certain entertainment value - it's no use for anything else. I'm quite fascinated by the mix of people - it seems to run in a certain pattern for all of these sorts of programmes. You get the expert (the archer, and I reckon he's a plant although did they have bows in the mesolithic age?); the fat Muslim who's pretty useless for anything; the half-wit who thinks the world is against him; and a series of girls who seem intent on doing a fashion bit with the furs, not to mention appearing with coiffed hair in the filmed asides.
What's not to laugh at? I'm just wondering how many of them will be left in the next programme.

Looks like most of the lazy fuckers have left. I'm surprised they were allowed to sit around for so long before anyone pulled them up on it. The few remaining I think will do better. I would have made my own camp near that lake. Sod six hours walking a day to not catch fish.

the lake seems to be further than the 2 kilometres away that was claimed...are they leopard crawling backwards to it?....and why oh why is the archer not choosing to be at the lake at dawn and dusk in the vicinity of game tracks?...they could knock up a game shelter on the lake shore to stay in.

tere is also meant to be a poacher there, but has not made and set any snares, the only trap they have made has failed

Yes Mary there were archers during the Mesolithic, and their Bows and arrows were the height of Stone age archery. They used complicated composite arrow designs using multiple small cutting edges of Flint called "Microliths". As mentioned in an earlier post all the men would have been archers.
