Ben, just wish I could add - catch a fish in Yosemite to the list. Next year.
OO - Ocean adventures I can do, I'll keep you posted.
David - that's what I'm thinking, green wood and large tools, ie. I understand about being the working man, I've been there before. What did you make your string out of?
Eddie - Don't think you're getting off the hook in all this business without being a part of the project. A already made stone ax, huh? That would make things easier...but, then I'd miss the first step! Next to making cordage, or a fire, perhaps...
Alright, banana cordage? Cedar bark cordage? Yucca cordage? Century Plant cordage? Coconut husk cordage? Hmmm....
Stave choices - Sea Grape, Black mangrove, Australian Pine (not native).
I've got a coral hand axe from the Alafia River. Got a hammerstone and some spike buck tines...
