• Building a fire. There’s serious satisfaction to be had from collecting a pile of twigs and logs and sending them up in smoke. You’re in the forest on your hands and knees, coaxing life-giving heat and energy out of dry, dead wood. For the full effect, leave the lighter fluid at home.
• Eating a meal that is just meat. Have you ever been that person at the buffet who loads their whole plate up with just meat? You know, slab of steak, couple pork chops, maybe some ribs on the side? Sure, you see that potato salad, you see those steamed baby carrots, but you can’t justify eating anything other than meat. Don’t worry, your inner caveman thanks you. Bonus: filling your plate with drumsticks, chicken wings, and ribs so you can just eat messily off the bone with your bare hands.
• Ignoring body hair for a really long time. Your chin fuzz grows out and connects with your unkempt muttonchops, your hair gets long and scraggly, and you suddenly start getting Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Back. This will keep you warm in the cave for winter.
• Breaking something. Maybe you’re tossing an old dresser at the dump or splintering the brokendown shed for firewood. Either way, after you’ve delivered a few devastating boots, hammer swings, and stick smacks, make sure you let out a victorious roar to let the whole forest know you won the battle.
• Throwing a temper tantrum much more aggressively than normal. If you’re the kind of classy gal who usually politely bee-beeps the horn when someone cuts you off, but then one time you hold it down for ten seconds, flip the bird, and scream out your window, then that’s the one. That’s your Beautiful Cavegirl Moment.
