So my newly crafted home is possibly the safest spot in the whole island right now. I set up a bed with a bunch of leaves and a dirt pillow. Might be uncomfortable, but it's not as bad as sleeping on the stone ground. This cave is just more of a large inlet in the side of a mountain. Just big enough for one guy. I need to think about what I'm going to do. I mean, I can't stay in this cave forever, a man has to eat!
So I just doze off. Not a worry in the world..saving that stress for tomorrow..
I wake up slightly happier than yesterday. Maybe I'm glad I'm just not dead, maybe I got good rest. I don't know. So first I need to find a rotten dead tree. Don't ask why, but I have an idea. Maybe I can knock it down (Longshot, I know.) and use the lumber from it to make some kind of tool. I don't see any dead trees. After hours of pointless exploring, I find a dead log in the ground. Just my luck. It falls over by the touch. I drag it straight back to my cave. Now to find a way to get some useful timber off of this. I took some vine fibers and tied a rock to a stick tightly. This could be an axe. So I strike it. Just a dent. I give a heavier strike, it splits open the wood, another strike and another..and another! A log splits off. It was tough wood, but hollow. Really, really useful. I can make somewhat of wooden planks for this, it could be used as a way to build some kind of house.
Now this may sound crazy, but not only this, but I could be able to make a tougher axe. I mean, I could use the plank, sharpen it with a rock, and find a way to drill a stick into it, and find an adhesive tough enough to keep it together. This way I can make more axes, and finally be able to cut down trees with ease.
