Another of many informative videos on not just making the tools but also demonstrating how they can be used. Cool video Donnie. My son is the one who showed me your videos about a year ago. Love seeing another person knapping.

[@primitive.and.ancient]

Thank you for that valuable information. I also want to thank you for sharing your wonderful primitive skills; they are truly inspiring to me.

You are so welcome! Thanks. Appreciate you watching!

Bushcraft at its finest

Thanks. Appreciate you watching!

Incredibly inspiring to me to get out more and commect with our collective past. Youre an American treasure Mr. Dust. Ps Great appearance on KnifeJunkie best podcast since Lynn Thompson was on. Also buying to books of yours one for my little brother

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the support greatly. I had a great time on the knife junkie podcast.

The more I fulfill my experimental archeology projects, along with watching your videos, I understand just how many tools can be fabricated from a single rock. I think many of the thick, biscuit like preforms, had this idea in mind. You get down to the quality material, it's sturdy enough to travel, careful reduction would offer first use usable flakes (like you discuss here) then could be crafted into other tools. Anything from a blade to eventually becoming a small point. Thanks for another great video!

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I couldn’t agree more. Weight is a factor when it comes to transportation of stone. Keep materials that are potentially tools through Knapping and you tool options are expansive, but few in numbers. Thanks for watching.

[@T.J-and-Soul]

I saw that you commented on Jack Crafty's video the other day. It would be great to see you interview him and compare your traditional style to his modern style. Both styles are very important.

Save the Debitage, Thumbs up and thanks.

[@OldwestFiles]

Definitely makes the vintage Arrowhead market a unsure playing field. I see one and think, probably a modern day made by old Donny Dust😂 so I just keep not buying ❤

[@FranknAround]

I love your work. Starting to implement your teachings and knowledge to my everyday life. I was reading wild wisdom in a cave in utah last night, while bull elk were calling out. Thank you for being you. A'ho

[@KyleL-us5lu]

A man in a cave, that's good living

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Absolutely!

[@normanschmidt8389]

Thanks, brother. Easy to grasp but a while to learn. Concoidial fracturing is the key. Angles of strikes, firmness of platforms. No?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

You are correct. There is science to it, but more observational perspective in the process!

Excellent video ❤

Thank you very much!

Flint knapping looks easy if you do it. But isn't easy at all. It is an acquired art. Sunce there aren't any rocks in our soil, there are no stones to practice on in our country (the Netherlands)

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I’ve spent a great deal of time learning how to Knapp. It’s a passion of mine!

[@sirnukesalot24]

Serration technology is truly ancient. Are there any indications that this is older or younger than the use of fire?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Absolutely older than fire. Fire was likely collected from the landscape from lighting and then later it was crafted.

[@RandyTerrell7174]

Do you ever sell your work ?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I do. Donnydust.com is the best place to start that process. Send me a message.

[@SirPraiseSun]

man that place looks great, lucky to be there.

[@EgoPersequorErgoSum]

Appreciate you making the videos…have you tried red and or green jasper? It seems like I always find pieces too small to work with and the ones I’ve tried to work with were so solid it was near impossible to even chip some off…any suggestions? A previous video maybe?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I have only knapped fire Jasper. It’s pretty hard, but good platforms are the key to busting flakes. Thanks for watching!

[@SurvivalistStuffWatcherr]

Ah, this answers some questions I had when I watched your flintknapping videos. I was always confused as to why knap a blade from the stone core when you "created" dozens of good sharp flakes just from getting it to the desired shape. Did people used to make handles for the raw flakes too, like they did for the more well-crafted core knives? Or was it too much work for something that was more... disposable?

[@captaintrips8651]

Great channel man and thank you for sharing this knowledge. You’ve inspired me to make my own bow. Any suggestions what I should use for the string?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Go for it! Use a synthetic to start off when tillering it out…then move to an all natural style. Sinew, intestinal cordage and rawhide are all great options!

[@captaintrips8651]
