PaulL, nah, I don't like that idea. I lived pretty close to some in PNG who's life style was about 30% hunter gatherers, & it is really great for the blokes, as the women do all the gardening, that provides much of the food for gathering. I doubt we'd get our ladies interested in a hurry.

I also got to know some who had lived in the days before head hunting was eradicated. Some of them said that "long pig" {human} meat was very tender.

So mate, although I could handle the 17Th century stuff, I have some worry about the hunter gather bit. The main problem would be when you became the hunted, rather than the gatherer.
