You really deserve well over a million subscribers.. You make such great content

Thank you for this, I’m excited to learn how to make spear heads and arrow heads!

[@kaandre7199]

Such a master.. one of the few grandmasters out there.

[@Thor-Orion]

I just want to make Solutrean looking knives and Sintashta arrrowheads. So to answer the opening question; yeah, that’s why I’m here. Awesome, you’ve got a full curriculum after I get some basics down. Thanks for making this for free. Subscribed.

[@Thor-Orion]

Copper bopper is genius. Doesn’t have to be copper even to be useful. It’s the shape, you can use like a giant polished stone as well. It just offers better control and command of the strike. That’s a great idea. (I’ll admit to having tried this with a stone on my own once and getting quickly humbled) The antler is a perfect example of a similar substitute for the bopper. Haha. You got right to that.

[@Thor-Orion]

5:18 oh my god, that tool explains a bunch of “ceremonial” finds at certain sites. The c word strikes again!

[@Thor-Orion]

7:00 out of curiosity why copper? I’m an electrician by trade and copper is soft as hell.

[@julieham2462]

I am going to go through Your videos, this is something I wanted to learn for a long time, I just didn't know what it was called! Thank You!!

Man Ryan, I really need to buy a box of rocks from you.

we would appreciate it, thanks much.and thanks for following along

[@joejohnson8711]

I found you some years ago ago by your primitive bow build of snakewood I really enjoy it hope this inspires you to do another video like that

[@floridahuntsman7915]

You make it look easy . I have all the materials here in Texas hill county but dang if I can make a thin blade yet .

Glass is probably one of the best things to practice with (glass bottle base / candle base )

[@NatureAliveAdventures]

Great video. Question: can you successfully heat treat quartzite? It's the only decent rock we have in Alberta, Canada. But it's very abundant. Thanks for your great channel

[@huntprimitive9918]

Unfortunately quartzite will not improve with heat treatment

[@alittleduckynamedflippy2771]

Another question when making pine glue what is the ratio you use for charcoal to sap?

[@derekhunter5040]

Not sure about Ryan's recipe, but Donny Dust uses two parts pine sap, one part wood char and one part organic material (generally venison poo)

[@billj503]

If the average hunting tip today is 100 - 125 grains. what is the ideal weight for a stone tip? Would you please show us on a vid?

[@huntprimitive9918]

my favorite stone point weight is about 40 grains. I am actually going to post a pretty big project on this soon

[@rogerhostetler1359]

Howdy good vidio, I've been knocking rock lately. One of these days I need to get up there Roger

[@xionix4]

Question: Is antler necessary, or can you get by with just stone? I'm coming into this from a survival perspective where I've lost my knife and need to know how to make a new one from what's around me. I guess I'm asking for assurance that I don't need to successfully take down large game or get lucky finding shed antler in order to recreate my most essential tool...

Good video😊 I have a question...so im learning flint knapping and I keep getting to these big lumps i cant seem to get rid of think they called turtle backs or something like that but wats best way to remove them? Also wat can I use for a pressure flaker? I cant afford to buy i literally live out in the woods with next to no money

[@derekhunter5040]

You can literally use an old nail as a pressure flaker. Anything hard and pointed.

[@Jo_Blo]

Nice video, thank u for teaching me something new today! U seem like a cool dude btw. Subscribed:)

Thanks for the video. I’m going to buy a flint knaping kit from Amazon hopefully i don’t ruin the stone😅

[@alittleduckynamedflippy2771]

Not really related to this video but when you're making solid wood atlatl darts would you still add a forshaft?

[@safwan8405]

❤ from india 😊

[@drivethelightning]

ive watched these like 3 times and made it around a chunk of bakelite/pyrex about once before it rounded on the edges and i cant get a bite. i abbraid. all i have is a deer tine. is that 100% of my problem or is there a way to get back to popping 1/2" shards with what i got? also im roling in and using enough force to shove the horn through my 1/8" leather. regular percussion hasnt done anything. I guess im a little confused when a piece breaks square then the corners basically round off, its like a solid 1/4" thick.

[@isaacyoung1868]

Does flint knapping come with a high risk of injury?

[@aquarius5264]

well, every time you break off flake that flake is razor sharp, so if you're a beginner then just wear a glove and have some sturdy cloth like a piece of denim or leather over your lap to work over, an old jacket would work just fine for this

Hey Ryan Gill! I am going to order the deluxe abo tool kit, I've always used antler and stone, never used copper tools. I've learned so much from your channel and I want to order that deluxe abo kit, as well as some knappable stone on your website.

sounds great thank you very much and very glad I could help!

[@FrauWNiemand]

Very interesting work, sat there stunning. Thank you for answering on Insta, so I could find this channel.

[@YeshuaIsTheTruth]

can you use animal bone? Like if I bought a T-bone and stripped the meat off before cooking would that work for pressure flaking?

[@drivethelightning]

not sure if you tried that but wanted to say ive seen deer antlers in pawn shops. also you can walk public land and they shed like jan - april.

[@kayrapolat3272]

Can you make a video of you processing a deer

[@aquarius5264]

are those invasive hogs? i'd assume so by the slight southern accent

[@HAYDS510]

pretty sure 'abo' is a slur, but maybe it's a different thing there

[@jaykingsun7093]

Just so you know the term abo is very offensive here in Australia.

[@treeherder7712]

I've tried ordering an indirect percussion stick from your website and it keeps telling me my cart is empty. I'll either have to make my own or order from someone else. But either way I feel we're both missing out. Very disappointed

I couldn't make myself finish watching it. If you're going to make a video about tools, make a video about tools. If you're going to make a video about the type of rock, then make a video about the type of rock.. but I specifically searched for how to flintknap.. more than the first third of this video has nothing to actually do with how to strike a rock.

[@calebgaskins3205]

If I wanted to know everything I would have watched one of the hour+ videos. I simply just want to know how to take the tool and strike the rock.

[@huntprimitive9918]

If you're looking for instant gratification, flintknapping isn't going to be for you. Also, so sorry you don't like the hundreds of hours of FREE information given on my channel. Rather than take the time to look like an ass, you could have used that time to watch the beginners tutorial. Impatience and a bad attitude will never make you a knapper. Ungrateful, impatient, AND an jerk.... I'd prefer not teach people like you anyways.

[@justdoinmything]
