I wonder if prehistoric people made instruments like this but we never figured that out because to an archeologist they would just look like a random pile of stones. :D

I am currently trying to make birch pitch myself with modern tools and in my last attempt I got nothing while using roughly the same amount of bark as you are. Your video helped me realize that all my potential pitch escaped as gas and simply burned off. Well at least I carved a nice boomerang/throwing stick while waiting for my pitch. :D I assume you do this experiment because of the fact that use of birch pitch predates use of pottery in the archeological record by tens of thousands of years? Very interesting. :)

An amazing and thrilling experiment! I really enjoyed watching how you tackled the challenges and innovated during the primitive pottery firing process. The final result was truly stunning and reflects ancient beauty and craftsmanship techniques. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video! Please continue making more videos, as I'm excited to see more of your adventures and creations.

Great video, I find it extremely difficult to fold bark without it cracking to make it waterproof. It takes just the right piece of bark. It is a very underrated skill. Thanks for sharing ! I've posted a few bark baskets on my channel as well, but haven't made many waterproof ones. I've subscribed. Have a great day, Steve

Interesting. You should try flint pecking stones, they work great and resharpen during use. Pecking with flint is what the old timers also did. Grinding is also faster without the sand, as you just spent energy and friction crushing and rolling the sand to dust. Also when pecking, it is good to put the wristwatch aside ...

Do you still use your bone chisels? Do you know how they compare to stone chisels?
@hostergaard6 ай бұрын
Maybe use a sheet of bark with holes poked in it as a filter or strainer in addition to the twig grid? Under it to catch finer particles. Maybe make it double layer and roll it into a cone, the outer layer as a funnel and the inner layer poked full of holes, kind of a like a coffee filter.

Good job. I would recommend carving the hole for the needle eye earlier and then sanding the needle down to fit the eye. I would think it would be easier without risking breaking the edge of the eye wall

will dead birch bark work for this?

Absolutely! It works just as well, but it's a lot easier to harvest (if the wood is already a bit punky and mushy). Plus, you don't have to injure a living tree to obtain it.

@MakeItPrimitive8 ай бұрын
When I found these bones, they had already been lying around for quite a while, and were picked clean from any remaining tissue. Pieces that I wanted to disinfect I would cook in hot water for a short while, I don't think that would affect stability much.

Can you tell me the uses of the tree bark oil? I know its been used as glue but id like to know its other uses in history. I know it can be used as an insect repelent and a form of medicine but in neolithic times did they discover this or was this found much later?
@MakeItPrimitive8 ай бұрын
A paper published in 2019 took a look at a 5700 year-old birch pitch chewing gum from Denmark (so this is pre neolithic). They were able to derive not only the DNA of the woman who chewed it from the material, but her oral microbiome as well. The pathogens she apparently had in her mouth suggest a medical use. (Also, the stuff apparently tastes really disgusting, so it probably wasn't chewed for pleasure.) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6917805/ Apart from this direct evidence, birch pitch had been used since at least 200.000 years. I'm pretty sure its other uses besides glue (especially as a bug repellant) were observed and utilized a very long time ago.

My heart dropped when you broke the skull for the antlers!! I would've loved to turn that into a piece of art. I live in Colorado, but the only things I've found are mostly prairie dogs and i do have 2 legs from a deer or something. Thanks for the idea tho, I need to make a bone chisel. What state do u live in?

I’d also say It’s nice that you got the luxury to work with flint, as a self taught knapper myself I wish this resource was common where I live. Instead of flint I have lots of experience working with finer grained basalts with some even being comparable to flint if you go to Montana (some specimens even ring like a bell when struck!).

And as a final note if you want to gain more flint knapping knowledge I’d highly recommend watching Will Lord’s videos, he’s been doing it for 50+ years and is a master at his art.
