A San gets high enough to be able to check for game and predators.

A San shows his hunting style.
San people traditionally hunted in long, tiring excursions using poison arrows made from beetle larvae. The arrows are not big enough to kill on their own so the bushmen after shooting their pray would have to follow, depending on the size of the game this could take days, until it succumb to the poison.

A San child hangs in a bag staring out at its surroundings. This is the traditional way of carrying a San child. This would make it easier for the women to gather and cook food.
