Fall asleep on the frozen grasslands of the Ice Age as you spend your days transforming enormous mammoth hides into the things your community needs to survive.
Tonight, you are a mammoth hide tanner, scraping away tissue with stone tools, stretching heavy hides beneath the open sky, working them beside smoky fires, and patiently softening them into warm clothing, sturdy shelter coverings, straps, cords, and other essentials. It is slow, demanding work, made slightly more complicated by the fact that a mammoth remains remarkably inconvenient even after it has stopped moving.
Settle in for a calm journey through icy winds, glowing fires, bone tools, migrating herds, and the patient craftsmanship of life on the Ice Age steppe.
Get comfortable, close your eyes, and let history carry you to sleep.
