Suck on finger and than make the axe.

Wait... cave man... bad oral hygiene...

Do not suck on finger. Make the axe.

Do this by taking a branch and splitting it with the rock and then putting the rock in the split.

Knapp, fuck grinding.

Agreed, although it requires us finding the right rock types. We should take a small stock of any stone that works well for it so we have some for spears and the like in the future.

Fake Edit: Look for a suitable straight and solid branch about a cubit long that we can use for the handle of our stone axe.

Edit: seems even my edits are ninjaed....

Get some vines, attach bladerock to a branch.

Also make a fire right outside your cave by rubbing some sticks.

Well, you know how if you take your thumb and forefinger and hold them up to your eye, you can make it look like you're squishing someone's head? It's like that, only for real.

You ever tried this?, we'll need some dry leaves or grass as well.

Not if you do it right.

Get a pile of dry sticks, spin one on the others, and fan the sparks.

Sticks are for wusses... but we have no real choice...

Anyway take a (small) log and make a hollow in it, then make a small hole in the hollow. Add fine wood shavings and dry leaves. Take a stick and start twirling it in there until you get a ember. Nurse ember with more wood shavings and leaves until it can take twigs and than sticks and than branches.

Do we have any vines?

If so use the vine to twirl the stick faster. Also make sure you get everything needed for the fire beforehand.

Edit also make sure the log is suspended off the ground by at lest some inches with other logs.

A small hollow, more like a depression, I am talking about a log that is like a foot wide at the most.

Edit: Also I have no fucking clue what I am doing but I read this is how you do it.

So ya...

Our axe probably couldn't even do that.

Do this by taking a branch and splitting it with the rock and then putting the rock in the split.
You grab a twig you dropped neerby and split the edge down the length of the branch part way, you try sticking the rock in (not blade first) but you fail at keeping it in

You fail to spot any vines in the immediate area, but you start rubbing stocks together furiously, but to no avail

Hmm, this is quite an advance thought but you set out to acheive it, you happen to find a thicker branch than the twigs earlier, you whittle out a small pocket with your sharp rock, and stack the shavings around the pocket then you spin one of the dry sticks for a while, you get heat, and from memory you gently blow on it, HUZZAH FIRE!     ...     OUCH FIRE IS HOT!!!

we don't have anything to hunt with but a sharp rock.

Lets look for a tree line, bound to be vines and stuff we can use to make decent hunting tools.

We have one very important thing to do. KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE.

Gather branches and logs start a fire that can last for several hours. Then do what these people say to do.

Edit:

My first though was to make a magnifying glass to make the fire with. I needed fire to make it though.
