“Hope it doesn’t effect my full house genny and floor freezers:)”
You might have power for your freezers and fridges for a week or so after things go south. Maybe you have enough fuel to keep things going longer, but in a real shtf scenario, public utilities and private suppliers may not be reliable sources of fuel.
Might want to have a plan b. Learn a few primitive methods of preserving food such as smoking, brining, salting, canning, etc. My guess is that there’s going to be plenty of smoke around in the future.
Someone who went to my college in the midwest died after drinking heavily at a bar. It was snowing hard and very cold. He left the bar with a short pilsner glass in his front pants pocket. He tripped on a guy cable, glass broke, cut his femoral artery and he expired right there in the snow. Terrible.

I think they got it wrong.
I think it’s a “arrow” shaft or spear shaft straightener.
Cordage is made by twisting and reverse wrapping with fingers and palms on thighs. One person could make about 20 yards of two ply reverse wrap cordage a day without any tools. Think of kitchen string.
(In the modern world, rope and cordage is twisted on hooks.)
I can’t see how the tool they found could possibly be useful for making rope.
I think the phonies at Science mag are smoking hemp.
