I like the caveat you put in this post. I was about to be his usual prick in your heel but I’ll just say even as nomads I am almost 1000% sure they must trade/purchase goods from another nomadic family thus start the early beginnings of starting a community

These types of nomads, usually do not need/use too much of money as we know it.
For them money means more barter with goods that are scarce in their life (they cannot produce themselves): cigarettes, salt, sugar, flour, moonshine, tools (knifes, axe).
I remember once, I was hiking long time some mountains and I encounter a nomad family with sheeps. For a good long knife and a bottle of strong moonshine I had, they were giving me all meat I could carry, cheese, milk, shelter and a lot of love and stories. I offered money, but they don't even look at them, were like, wtf you are giving me these, I have no use for them.

cigarettes
maybe they smoke something else if they do smoke 😂

they dont need money to buy fancy clothes and tech things, and everything is already handmade and natural. 😂😂😂 because they have the knowledge and willing to do the work.

Did you stopped in the middle of that forest and listen the... silence, the wind, the slow move of leaves on the ground ?
It says that when you concentrate for some minutes and you are able to hear the void, the "nothing", then you are close to open the door to another universe. But you must be blend into the nature, to be part of it, not just a "visitor".
And you must sleep at least a night, alone, in that forest. Just hang a hammock between 2 trees and look at the stars all night until your eyes could start travelling far away...
You will never forget those moments.

also it was a bit scary since it was cloudy, empty and so high up.

that would be quite an adventure. 👀

Sounds like you had a great hike! I was particularly interested in the part about preserving food without a fridge. I'm not sure how they manage with milk, but I think raw milk has to be consumed within a few days. They can always make dairy products that last longer, though. In Portugal, smoking and salting were traditional methods of preservation. Even today, cod isn't eaten fresh; it's submerged in large quantities of salt and then soaked in running water for a few days to remove the salt before it's eaten. Smoked meat is still made in a traditional way, too.
