I'm Back - Flint Blades, Fire...and What Happened
🔥 It's been a while - and today I'm finally back in the woods, with flint, fire, and a brand new blade core to work on. Many of you will know I've been quiet recently. I lost my young dog, who was my best little buddy, and it took the wind out of my sails for a while. Thank you to everyone who checked in - your messages meant more than you know. But I'm here again, and ready to get back to regular posting. 📅 New videos every Thursday at 6pm. Today's video includes: 👉 A quick catch-up on life and what's been going on 👉 Firewood chopping and prepping the earth lodge 👉 Lighting fire with marcasite 👉 How to set up a blade core 👉 Techniques for striking long, razor-sharp blades 👉 Tips for improving consistency when knapping Flint blade cores allowed our ancestors to create dozens of high-quality cutting tools from a single stone - efficient, elegant, and devastatingly sharp...it was the caveman's tool kit. 🔥 WHAT'S COMING NEXT: Deep dives into prehistoric tools Fire-making experiments Tanning and making ancient clothing Wild cooking Road-trip episodes to ancient sites The start of a brand-new YouTube members community If you're new here, welcome. If you've been here a long time - thank you for sticking around.
