I could not imagine this being easy with cold hands.

I love how half the time you don't even know what kind of rock you're working on. It may not sound like it but that's actually a compliment lol. You clearly learned to identify rocks the same way I did and I can appreciate that because it erks the hell out of me when people tell me the type of rock and where it came just by looking at the color and I'm just like... (smacks rock with another rock) "Hmm, sounds right" (Smacks rock again) "Breaks the right way, too. Okay, so this what I call hard-breaky-break-sharp-edge-cut-cut-rock."

I saw that. Started sounding pretty technical toward the end there lol. I'm so bad at it that I don't even try anymore. Despite our family being some of the more traditional folk in our area nobody ever passed on knapping or the knowledge of what rocks too look for. Worse yet, our area doesn't even really have a lot of rocks in general unless you count the non knappable ones. And most of those aren't good quality. It's mostly swamp out here. I got more practice making things from bone, hardwoods, shells, and occasionally teeth than anything else lol.

A lot of good info thanks for posting 👍

This was very helpful. Now we know we can find flint in the summer and winter.

11:08 I've spotted some red twig dogwood at the water edge right there. red twig dogwood is very flexible and you could use it as a bushcraft fishing rod handle.

Im a really good arrowhead finder rock hound so to speak but wasn't sure what filnt looks like unprocessed apparently there is a ton around hear some really good some really bad but more the i thought but suspected and this just proved me right. Thank you for the quick run down many of the flints here are creamier colors and yellows and whites summer even almost read like brick a lot of the crappier flints around here are the darker ones like you were showing the lighter colors here seem to be better smoother quality that's always use the word kind of creamy looking I found a chunk the size of bigger then my head, that looks like native Americans that used to live around the family homestead property were chipping flints from it for years! It had tons of chips taken from it.

Man that’s leaverwright flint

Hi my name is Jeff and I have been watching your videos .on the episode how to find flint and chert in creeks and rivers.I noticed when you reached down and pointed to a stone ,at time mark 542,I believe you missed a large hand axe

I can just imagine how many times your fingers hated you for missing the rock lol

If your standing on the rock , chert is easy to find . It’s knowing where the vain protrudes or lays on or in the ground .

Thanks, I'm learning a lot watching your videos but still can't find anything for fire starting.

I really want to get into arrow head or spear head making. So I’m heading down to the ozarks in Missouri. What kind of flint would I find there and and specifics I should look for in that area as a beginner like when I break it open with a stone what am I looking for ?

Take a look through my other videos, I do flint identification, in Missouri if I remember correctly your flint is white. I will look into it more and get back to you, I. The mean time check out my other videos, they will help

I found an outcropping along a bicycle trail that had rock that was the consistancy of flint but was white. What did I find? It knapped well. I endured sweltering heat and sun to make my very first flakes. I felt as if I was still in Boy Scouts 50 years ago.

Chert nodules are abundant in the Bayport limestone quarries in Arenac and Huron counties. Chert and flint are in the Niagaran dolomite in the Northern Peninsula, exposed in Scott's Quarry near Trout Lake, and the old quarries at Manistique.

Tell that to all the moraines, drumlins, till deposits, erratics, and eskers where I live; not to mention isostatic rebounding of the ground that is still happening. Greenland got its name from Erik the Red around 983 AD. It was snow covered but he wanted to entice settlers by fraudulently calling it green. More than 2 million years ago it was green … then the glaciers formed.
