"So... uh... why is it so hard to make a workbench? I mean, at base level, all we really need is a simple table and a few tools... I don't get why it's so hard."
(Reinforcement for the table so that it doesn't fall through, and having to construct one from scratch that is roughly 3 feet by 9 feet.)
((Also, we don't have any tools to make the tools with.))
I take a bucket and head to a large pond. At a couple dozen feet across, one could almost argue it is a very small, shallow lake. I take a scoop of the water, sip it, and drop the bucket after a fish thrashes at me.
"...Well. We should get a well soon, but this works for now."
I bring the bucket, fish and all, back.
"Hey, I caught dinner. For one of us."
