Do they have any hunter gatherer reenactment societies?

When you have to work to eat and survive you quickly stop giving a shit that you're "working." It doesn't feel like work to chop wood all day knowing it's gonna keep you from shivering or freezing all night.

That doesn't make it easy, it makes it less deflating. Work feels more like "work" when you're just doing it to make some other asshole rich.

From my casual reading of history and what was invented/discovered at what times in different areas, life before, say, 1830-1850 would be unrecognizable to us. Hell, drop me back in my teens and I'd struggle to remember how to navigate the 80s! In just 55-years, I've seen such radical changes I sometimes feel swamped by history and tech.

Apples to oranges comparing the early modern era, anywhere back to classical days, to prehistory.
