I think that everyone should do most, if not all, of those things at some point in their lives. It doesn't have to be an everyday thing. But I think that a lot of people in modern societies are completely unaware of how lucky they are to not have to do those things any more, and would greatly benefit from the perspective.

I think people would have a better connection to nature if they did these things more often.

But cooking and eating is sort of an umbrella activity for all of those - everyone in the village/tribe/etc. has to eat, and usually they’d come together in one place to do so. Farming or searching for water don’t have the same centralizing social effect.

Thanks, yeah, that's what I was hoping to tease out -- the fact that there's also a social element to it.
