Kitchen tent
-tend the cooking fire outside
-wash what little dishes there are; pots, plates, no vessels (the camp just has botas)
-cook the day's meals from what supplies we have and what is killed
-clean the kitchen tent
Clean game and fish
-animals are skinned and hung on hooks, their, skins, bladder, bones, horns and brains saved
-fish need to be gutted, head chopped off, then scaled and filleted
Tanning skins
-a fairly long process, there are several ways to go about it...here is one: save the animals brain, take the skin to a stream and secure it in the shallows, letting the current work away the remaining pieces of flesh from the underside, leave overnight, collect and use a shell to scrape off the fur, going against the grain, then either soak it in a "brain soup"...or rub it with the brain very well, the fat from the brain tissue preserves it and it works better with the animals own brain. Then hang it again overnight to dry.
Making new furs
First clean the skins of any fleshy debris, then stake them out in the sun for a couple of days. Once they are completely dried you rub the skin side with a stick or rock until it is soft and smooth.
Making Botas
Botas are animal bladders, retrieve one after a kill and boil it in a pot of water, salt and disinfectant to sterilize it. Then rub it carefully with a smooth rock or stick until it is soft taking care not to rip the membrane. Finish by carving a a stopper to fit the opening. It can be decorated with dyes and have leather straps attached for carrying.
Making bone needles
carefully carve animal bones to a sharp point, boring a hole into the other end...you will need to ask permission to use a knife

many spices grow in the Jungles
Collect Herbs/Flowers
Dust the Furs/Clean out the Tents

Clean the dance pit/spar pit
