It's very easy to hunt buffalo without technology. You just need some friends and a big cliff.

You have no meat storage technology, so that isn't likely to keep you alive all year round. There are only so many herds you can run over a cliff. Besides, the hunters used technology to herd those buffalo. I doubt the buffalo would have taken much notice of a few naked people hopping around waving their arms.

  And then an asteroid impacts, or a volcano farts loudly, and all these discussions are moot. At least for a while. Because all of this happened before, and it will happen again. https://www.biblestudytools.com/gnt/ecclesiastes/passage/?q=ecclesiastes+1:9-18 https://www.biblestudytools.com/gnt/ecclesiastes/passage/?q=... https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/468991-all-of-this-has-happened-before-and-it-will-all https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/468991-all-of-this-has-happ... https://cityoftongues.com/non-fiction/all-of-this-has-happened-before/ https://cityoftongues.com/non-fiction/all-of-this-has-happen... https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EternalRecurrence https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EternalRecurrenc...

  I’m not making things up. This is how native americans hunted bison in the Canadian plains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_jump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_jump And obviously they could preserve it somehow because they didn’t die.

    The link also describes them using technology. Remember: no technology means no fire, no spears, no arrow, no knives, no pottery, no weaving, no making glue, etc. If you believe those aren't technology, just try doing it yourself with nothing but your hands and nature. You can even watch some youtube videos on making fire from scratch. Then try it yourself. You'll fail. Even the one guy on "Alone" who didn't take along flint&steel used advanced technology to make a bow drill (using modern cord and a knife). He was an experienced outdoorsman and still had a lot of trouble with it. If you, I, or anyone else on HN were dropped naked into the wilderness, we'd be dead within a week. Likely within a day from exposure.
