Lost in thought, he glanced over at the bamboo baskets in the cave, and an idea sparked.
'I could weave a frame from bamboo strips to act as walls. That would not only save a ton of bark rope, but it would also maximize the coverage from each stalk of bamboo.'
'Then I can just gather some large leaves—like tobacco leaves, banana leaves, or even split-leaf philodendrons—and stuff them into the gaps of the bamboo wall. Wouldn't that be enough to keep out the wind and rain?'
'As for the roof... bamboo slats would work, but is there anything like straw that I can use for thatching...'
'Wait, couldn't I just use bamboo leaves? How did I not think of that!'
Guada Bamboo was already larger than ordinary bamboo, and its leaves were longer and wider, too.
'Besides, I have to chop off the branching leaves anyway when I cut down the bamboo. It's a waste to just throw them away, so I might as well try using them for the roof.'
