Foraging in paradise - Indian fig - 100% primitive

[2011-08-24]
Experiment : 100% "primitivazing" our traditional method of harvesting and peeling the fruit of an Indian Fig.
The subjective proof is also established that the fruit is even more tasteful when harvested by 100% primitive means :-)

Materials :
- Giant Cane [arundo donax] : knife and harvesting rod,
- disaggregating granite fragment : the most improbable stone tool (saw),
- yucca leaves : "cordage" and plate,
- little smooth stone : used to splay the cane blades
- smooth granite stone : hammer,
- eucaliptus root : anvil,
- edges of a disaggregating granite bedrock : scraper and cane-knife-sharpener

Simple but seemed quite effective means of harvesting. Thanks for showing.

@phreshayr

my pleasure ;

This way of harvesting is somewhat traditional ; it's efficient for personal or family consumption and I use it each time I can [when back at home, when figs are mature ... ];

But till then, I had never made the tools (harvesting rod, "knives") with bare hands, without knife, directly from "nature" ; this gives such a great feeling of liberty and "power" !
