Absolutely love how you kept it all primitive. Love to see it- done properly! Subscribed

another good idea is to save the chips to make arrowheads

I don't know why but I have always liked the whole survival thing. You sir, have a new subscriber and I would love to see more videos like this on or really any video from you as it would be and amazing video! (Ugh i said vidEO LIKE 3 TIMES IN THE SAME SENTENCE. YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID???? YOUR VIDEO WAS SO AMAZING THAT I FORGOT HOW TO ENGLISH.(jk XD)) but in all seriousness I really want to see more like this! : )

Wow, -thank you so much! I appreciate it.

I do not know if it is true world wide but I America Some tribes set up basically knapping factories to make stone tools and things for other tribes. Then they traded for goods the other had that they did not have. Some Piute's In Oregon had large supplies of obsidian which they used for knives, arrow and spear points and as decorative effigies. When you find one of these manufacturing centers the ground will literally be covered with obsidian chips and often discarded imperfect points. The Piute's under Chief Paulina were good example. Or so the old timers believe, now he is remembered as a war chief. It is good you are working to keep the craft alive.

Thaks, Melvin. Interesting!

I just cant understand how whenever I see flint knapping sessions on youtube how they just tap their hammer stones on the flint and it perfectly chips with little effort, does anyone feel me that have tried knapping?

Practice, practice, practice. When you hit the flint with an perfect angle/point of impact, it actually takes a very little effort to do so.

Any tips on finding and identifying flint in a forest?

@wilderness8514

Flint have a different structure than other types of stones, kind of glassy. Primarily black and grey but sometimes it has a brown tint because of an high iron amount. Flint can be found where rocks are present generally. Look in riverbeds and valleys but they can be found everywhere depending on the place you are. In some places flint are rare. If you need a lot of stones some shores have them in abundance. Once you find a rock, try taking a sample to check if the stone is good or learn by the sound the stone produces when hitting the stone lightly. Most stones have cracks inside that are not visible, making them useless to shape into tools. Good hunting!

Now I know that a handaxe wasn't just gripped by the back face which is often presented as dull, but can be gripped adequately upon its sides as well, and even a flint handaxe can take down a tree, but a hafted handaxe is, as I already know, much, much better.

@wilderness8514

6 жыл бұрын

No, ash is very strong. It could be smaller and still be strong enough.

Great flintknapping, but the axehandle is way to bulky, and your technique isn't quite right. It's not a baseball bat, you're supposed to chop into the wood at an angle, so that you take advantage of the natural separation of the wood fibers.

@wilderness8514

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I agree with the bulkyness, but flintaxes are actually supposed to hit the tree nearly straight on, where a normal axe is more effective at an angle.

Watching the process of making these primitive tools and then working with them, primitive people must have had a lot of tedium in their lives- a lot of repetition and effort to do and make things that we can accomplish in so much less time (using a steel axe, for instance). Of course, modern people have plenty of tedium in their lives too- such as sitting at a desk pushing papers around or stabbing at a keyboard for 40 hours a week, or sitting in traffic, waiting in lines, etc. We think we have so many time saving devices (like the car), but do we really?

@wilderness8514

Good question. I like the car, but I think one should be careful of the amount of time spent on social media and tv. :)

This is what they did in the old Stone Age but with out gloves

you were incredible at manufacturing the axe. but not so great in using it. Had you used it to strike the trunk in an angle, your effort would have been much more effective

this video was nice but you cut 2-3 green trees so thats why this video was bad for kids 🤨🤨🤨
