You are both right and wrong. You should be able to walk on your footings and youd be insane to walk on your first few courses with smaller stone lol both are true at the same time. The premise is, if your larger stones move when you walk in them the wall is doomed from the start.

I found an axe head like that up in the hills on a logging trail long ago and still have it. I thought it was for splitting wood; I said, what a heavy, impractical design for a wood splitting maul, and it was dulled to heck. Can't believe I didn't realize it was for splitting stone

@oneGodtobe there's a nice easy way to work it out. For a 1m tall wall It uses 1ton per square meter. So 2m x 1m = 2tons

Nice work, looks as if it’s been that way for a 100 years. In the states, specifically Dummerston Vermont the “Stone Trust”has work shops that teach how build dry stone walls. In New England stone walls were part of the fabric of this area when it was originally settled and farmed, unfortunately many of these original walls have disappeared as the farmland has been replaced by subdivisions. It’s nice to see this trade being revitalized. Keep up the good work. Rock on 🤘🪨
