Food and Drink
Some desert peoples, such as the Aboriginals from Central Australia and the San from the Kalahari, once survived entirely by hunting game and gathering food from the wild. Because they traveled from place to place on foot, they carry only a few hunting tools and containers for food. Nomads who have camels, such as the Bedouin from Arabia and northern Africa, can carry more possessions. Domesticated livestock also provide milk and meat. But hunting game means precious livestock need not be slaughtered. While the lifestyles of many desert peoples have changed, some old traditions continue today.

The Aboriginal peoples from the Central Australian deserts hunt using a variety of simple and versatile weapons. As spear-thrower extends the length of the thrust so the spear can be thrown further. Attaching a stone knife to one end of the thrower transforms it into a scraper to remove flesh from the skin of an animal carcass, or a knife to cut sinews (tendons). To light a fire, the hard edge of a thrower is rubbed rapidly against a soft stick to make sparks and ignite a tinder of dry grasses. The spear thrower is also used as a dish.

Today only a few San hunt game with bows and arrows. The hunters track down an animal, such as antelope and then shoot it. Quill arrows are not strong enough to kill an animal, so they are dipped in poison. The hunters follow the animal till it dies from the poison. Meat is supplemented with roots, bulbs, and fruit and nuts gathered by the women and children.
