'As long as they're in their right minds, the other contestants shouldn't be coming this way.'
He pushed thoughts of the other contestants aside, his mind quickly focusing on how to chop down the bamboo efficiently.
But no matter how he racked his brain, there didn't seem to be a better cutting method without a saw.
With stones, he could at best fashion a stone axe or a stone knife, but making something like a stone saw was impossible.
He could, theoretically, make one from bamboo, but after thinking through the crafting process, he immediately abandoned the idea.
To make a saw from bamboo, the first step was to sharpen it into a bamboo knife, then cut triangular teeth into the blade's edge.
This step was no different from cutting bamboo sections, and he'd have to repeat it over a dozen times. How long the resulting bamboo saw would even last was a mystery. With all that effort, he might as well just chop the bamboo into sections directly—it was far more practical.
