With or without my current knowledge?

Because I'm pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be "ending the stone age".

Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.

Been watching primitive technology huh?

I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ

That was fascinating thank you! I watched the whole thing. There's a ton of work those people put into making their iron. Truly a community effort

I don't even know what smelting ~~meant~~ means. Can we be cave-friends? I'm good at sharpening knives.
