Flint knapping is very meditative, just don't get too relaxed working with razors! I need to make a new bopper. Do they take your rocks at the airport? lol.

[@rowanbcapr]

idk about the airport, but my school lets me bring in knapping things as long as they’re dulled and don’t look like weapons

[@SasoriZert]

Gotta say for a recommend channel from KZbin for once I'm quite happy they popped this up on my feed. Going be watching a lot more videos of yours in my free time, the chill yet educational nature of your videos just draws me in.

[@A_QuestioningSoul]

Being in continuous commune with nature makes one a true philosopher. Perhaps I'll never get a chance to meet Donny in person, he'll always be a good friend! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@redthehero3387]

Nice I'm early, probably won't have to use this stuff ever but I enjoy learning how.

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

Wow that turned out Beautifully, well done, I’ve been collecting material for knapping, been collecting arrowhead’s for 26 years but I’ve never attempted to knapp a point, I appreciate the knowledge, Thanks For Sharing 👊🏹

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks. Appreciate you watching.

[@rubenskiii]

Start with it, it will highten your respect and appreciation of our ancestors so much more, I recently started and it’s such an amazing thing to do with your time, it’s hard(i am not even novice level) but when you make something functional and usable from “just a rock you found” it gives so much satisfaction.

[@suzz1776]

I think it is funny seeing somebody make and use a stone tool while wearing a fancy modern day digital watch device. Lol. BTW, this video reminded me I have a bunch of flint knapping stuff I totally forgot about. Now I wanna go dig it all out and learn how to do it, finally. 😀

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Great work man! Love your videos. When I watch your videos, I realise that even if you have nothing, you can still make it, make your own tools using basic materials if you have the knowledge, the will to try it and patience to craft them...

[@forendetta8164]

Thank for video my friend 😉

[@mikereilly7629]

A joy to watch as always. I started a project recently, pecking and grinder a hand sized red granite oblong mini boulder into a a classic style full grooved axe. You can't appreciate how much skill and labor that goes into just one tool, until you actually try it. There must have been a lot of one eyed indians, cause that debris seems like it is doing it's best to get your eyes

[@joecrespo5842]

[@Lab_Dad]

I've never done any knapping but would like to try after seeing your videos. Any ideas what to use for leg protection if leather isn't an option? Will a large folded towel give enough protection? Also , I don't see you using eye protection would you recommend it for a rookie? Thanks and thanks for sharing you beautiful art of stone work with us. 👍👍

[@marcarvinrabe6362]

you should do survival journeys bro.

[@thomahal1]

Greatly enjoying your videos. Extremely practical, straightforward, yet all the important detail looks to be there as well. I have a question on using the finished product to score a sapling- is it possible to simply take a large flake and do this with much less time invested? I would think a large flake would not last NEARLY as long, but if you were in a situation where you just needing some shelter materials would the flake be able to score a sapling that way with out breaking up too much?

[@zivotvprirode-bushcraft]

Very Nice 👍 I crossing fingers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☺️

The specific chert he is using is Georgetown flint from Texas. You can find retailers on eBay, etsy and other websites. Just to warn you, 20 pounds will cost around 100 bucks shipped.

I need a guide to help me identify which stones, rocks, etc. would be the best choice. How do I tell which stones are going to work best? Would be great to be able to go to a flint knapping / pressure flaking workshop or something. Dig the videos though, dude. Thanks

Dude, I'm living out on a mountain now. The plan is to build a stone house with simply hand tools. I'm digging through mountain ground now. You have to use a machette, it is too thick for a shovel. Full dry stone house with a clay core (celtic style but... I'm an inventor, and I want to keep the bugs out). Once my foundation is done I will make a bow out of olive wood (I am in the balkans [but I'm American]) and knapp my arrowheads. I have heard boar take a bath in the marsh 50 feet north of me. Both a sow and a bull. I will not kill unless I can utilize the full corpse, and reach proficiency with the bow, for sure kill. It will take a while. Goal is full natural with steel tools (saw, axe (most used as a hammer), machette (probably most important), and I got some pruning shears for the vines... Stonecraft I will need sledge hammer and chisel... woodcraft I will need a sharp chisel). and synthetic cordage. Totally custom, totally natural, with my own hands, solo. I'm living like an animal now. It's healing my body and soul. I'm stronger than ever. The cot I made out of spiny tree branches, rope and reeds is healing my lower back from years of hunched over life. My muscles are growing like crazy. My patience is increased. My acceptance with the sin and satanism of the world is increased. When I was scouting and going out there, I would fall on my knees and cry to GOD for the continuous evil of the world. now I just cry occationally. Seneca has helped me accept the evil. I'm trying to build my home. A home better than anything anyone can buy. If I can make moneys, I will get some solar next year and even be able to run a pump from my spring. The water heals. The nature heals. The pain heals. The work heals. Apparently to live like an animal is the beginning of living like a man.
