I'd like to see some more outdoor cooking videos Donny, if you're down. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as always 🙏

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

No problem. Coming soon.

[@karasu1982]

Dude he has one where he catches and salts/smokes fish.... if you haven't seen that one it's awesome.

[@seansimpson4472]

Yeah but will need a trigger warning for those that don't know where meat comes from

[@sebastianthehotsaucedude5473]

@@seansimpson4472 I watched his Buffalo field dressing with his obsidian knife he made and it was awesome. He also tested various types of projectiles from the Atlatl on the Buffalo to see if it was actually viable. It was. Very much so.

You always give so much info ! The attention to details is amazing ! Thanks Donnie !

My pleasure. Thanks for watching

Was knapping with the kiddos at camp this weekend. Keep up the content. I love it, and so does the family.

[@JanuszBlauc]

We are watching you with the whole my family from Poland, you are a great guy. You teach amazing, everything is useful in the forest at the campsite. Greatings from Poland.

[@anthonyjacomine6749]

You explain how to take percussion flakes a lot better than most people. I love your videos and hope to see more in the distant future.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Appreciate it greatly. Thanks for watching. More coming soon.

[@scottlanghorst1483]

Thanks for making interesting and informative videos. 🤙

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

My pleasure. Appreciate you watching.

[@White.Dove.]

Thank you for this video! Your explanation of how to hit and why, and the purpose of the 3 stones was so to the point. I have attended a day long class on flint knapping and could not get the hang of it. I gave up on trying thinking that it was my fault. Now I believe I could have another go at it. I would like to make an atlatl point.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Go for it. Stick with it. I’ll have more Knapping videos out soon. Thanks for watching.

[@pfcaraujo]

Thank you. My son loves rocks and is starting to get into flintknapping

Great vid ,you explain thing in a way I can easily absorb 🔥

[@PippiLong1]

Thanks for the show and tell. I'll be looking at my stone's differently as I walk my babbling brook.

[@williamlake6151]

Excellent commentary.

[@j-rod4217]

I can't express in words how much I appreciate your channel brother. So I'll just say thank you for the knowledge you're sharing. 🤙

[@Robinhood55]

Why am I just finding this channel? Great content man

[@bottling.hobo.]

I love learning. I appreciate the way you break it down. I now understand why I find so many types of ancient hammerstones on one site.

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Thanks for the great content 👊🔥

[@valtercatozzi6191]

Donny... Vc é o melhor. Muita experiência... Não me canso de ver suas habilidades. Desde Limeira. Sp. BR.

[@osamabeenlacking2987]

Thanks for the video i was looking for some more info about this

[@Bruno41722]

U are awesome ty for the content man. Its rly interesting

[@Cynax377]

I really like these longer videos explaining the basics coupled with the shorts. Showing where you start and where you CAN end up with enough practice. Knapping is something I've been interested in for a while I've been blacksmithing on and off for a year I think knapping would be cool to get into in-between. Thanks man! 28 yo male from Tennessee.

[@devinzelman5838]

Awesome

[@thegingerpowerranger]

Would love to see a video explaining your tattoos if they have meaning to you

[@joshuaimler7922]

Man thanks for the info. I’ve got a cool collection,I’ve got all the ones you listed and more but the neat thing about some of them is you can feel how they held them and see how it was grasped. 😊

[@17Liberty76]

I think I've taken more away from this video than any other yet. Very informative. Thanks for breaking it down

[@tomritter493]

Great tutorial donnie

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks Tom!

[@ketteringsfinest6512]

I love your videos man, I’m glad I discovered you on tiktok when I did. Keep it up!

[@chrisg8869]

Thanks for covering this! Going to spend a few days in a state park next week and will def save these videos for then! :)

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@Catydidasmr]

Nice😄

[@gus23a]

I don't know if you have covered it already in this awesome series, but can you show us how to break up antlers to make antler tools for flintknapping? I've got some laying around, but fear to destroy them if i just cut them up.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

No worries. No problem. I got you!!!

[@forendetta8164]

Thank for video donny owoww

[@wildhoser]

Donny, first off, still a big fan. Just used your video on what to look for in rocks to know if they're good for flintknappong. Didn't find any good stones to Knap but found good hammer stones. I cant seem to find anything good to knap in the cariboo chilcotin region of BC, (just incase you've been here and have any advice) could you do a video on glass?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

No worries. Stick with it and keep looking for it. Slate is another stone that’s not necessary knapped, but can be ground. Thanks for watching.

[@jesuschristiskingandsavior461]

My goal is to be as primal as this guy. Rock on man! Living the dream! I have just one question: where do you find the flint? Do you buy it or find it?

[@soy3043]

how good, would you say, is slate for flintnapping

[@optifi1093]

Rather poor, it is too brittle and doesn’t really take flakes but rather layers

[@kochrupambhai2632]

helo sir like your video love from india

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

Can you make fukiya please?

hey man, just in case if maybe u havent heard of it, from 2023 shorts can be monetized too. 99% u did hear about it, but just in case lol .. :D

Absolutely. No problem.

Can you make a cowboy hat with some leather pls??

[@henrikchristensen2382]

Can you make a gunstuck warclub

[@bracoop2]

Donny… I can’t find any stone where I live. I’ve gone to the river, in different spots, and I’ve gone to where I find flakes and all I can find are baseball or grapefruit size rock and when I hit the stones it is taking out huge chunks but not flakes. I’ve watched every video on it and I still suck.

[@jamiebarnes8072]

Whats the difference between a hammerstone and a billet?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Hammer stones are out of rock or cobblestone. Billets are typically antlers, some bone and wood.

[@mawi1172]

Very nice product from a hobby. Could you tell us, are those round stones quartz? Have you actually learned any names of your rocks? Ever asked a rock person? Just so you could tell us? Its a great hobby.

[@grantfreeman5327]

You ought to promote your non shorts on your KZbin shorts. I like these longer videos myself I wish I could say the same for others..

[@uma3282]

Can i become ur student .?

This might be blasphemy but is it me or could this guy not give chuck norris a run for his money

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I would try my best. Haha. Thanks for watching.

[@hyrumlane9420]

How durable are the stone tools you’re making?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Very durable. Stone has been used longer than steel.
