    I understand that this is a hypothetical scenario. So please, educate me on how taking a rock vs a stick being “practical” isn’t a wild argument…

      Honestly, people might judge me for carrying a stick out of the woods, a rock can get stuffed in my pocket. The stick will eventually lose its charm and just be in the way. The rock is small and can be forgotten and not be in the way.

        I would never judge you for that. You are a rock person, and I think that’s awesome.

      You can use the rock as a crude handaxe to crush and cut things, such as reed fibers to tie the wooden sticks of your hut together. You can make do with plenty of subpar sticks, but a subpar rock is going to multiply the work it takes to get a roof over your head.
