About this ebook
Tao is an outcast. Unlike the great hunters of his clan, Tao does not want to kill the wild bears or woolly mammoths of the hunt. Instead he wants only to paint them. But only Chosen Ones can be cave painters. What's more, Volt, the clan leader, violently despises Tao. And when the other clan members discover Tao's secret talent, they cast him out into the wilderness alone. There, he befriends a wild wolf dog named Ram, and the mysterious Graybeard, who teaches him the true secret of the hunt.

Oooooo weeeee damn this book was good. it was the perfect guide to living in the wild. im a 45 year old conservative that lives on the outskirts of alabama and eats shrooms. i'm a hardcore jesus believer and don't believe in "SOCIETY". honestly i think we should go back to a simpler time. bangin on stick and stones and dying from dysentery. perfect survival handbook and taught me how to buy drugs from old bearded fools. 5/5 would show to my scientology leader.

About the author

Later, while training for the Army in the days before World War II, he explored the mammoth underground caves of Tennessee.
