It was good to meet you man, see you next year!
Great video! It was another great year! 🙌🏻
Fabulous! Thank you for sharing this.
So well done Aaron, very much captured the feel of the gathering. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Columbia river is no joke. Only elite CG operate there.
I love working obsidian the best knapping material by far. I’m a world away but with you in spirit.
Nice job Aaron! Can't wait to see your video from Rabbitstick 2024!
@@kspeek thanks, Ken!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you.
Man I'd have loved to see those arrows.
what is the background song?
I don’t remember I think it was one of the free songs on the TH-cam editor program
Thank you!
Great film … what else can I call it . Thanks . If your burning sage brush or cedar in a tipi expect lots of large ash flakes flying around .
If only there was a close access to water. Spent about a month camping about 40 miles from this campsite (as the crow flys) and had a wonderful late winter camp . Lots of good black glass . It’s like pulling a puzzle apart to get the blocks out . Then of to camp and what a great bunch of folks to dig with . From there to see the old green glass diggings near the reservation. Some beautiful country but a dry camp every night . Carry at least one gallon of water for drinking only and more for cleaning . Some years are great and some years COLD . Good tent ,warm clothes and a warm sleeping bag are needed . Don’t get in the deep mud . Bitterroot Flowers ,(Montanas state flower) grows there as well . Ps . Leather gloves are a must and eye protection will keep your vision . This is the sharpest stuff you will ever handle .
Silly question but have you knapped "Green Burns" obsidian?
@@williamkuhns2387 yes I have- it’s rare but it mostly Knapps like any other obsidian.
WOW!
I was friends with late Joe Dabill. He had told me Steve had the record of smallest push through technique on Ishi points. Steve's pressure flaker was a welding rod sharpened like a chisel head and a jewlers magnifying headset to see the side notch.
@@williamkuhns2387 . You can see Steve knapping in some of my other videos from Glass buttes
I’m going there tomorrow😊
Steve is a hateful individual who posts anti-gay rhetoric on his social media.
Great video and music. Thank you all.
Beautiful new sub here. thank you
Awesome video, thanks for making this!
Nice.
Awesome Vid, Hopefully I Can get up to the Butte one day
A very fine video, Aaron! I dig the banjo, too!
Love the diggridu
Thanks- like all the music, it was recorded at the knap in!
Love it
Thanks for documenting everything! Will you be doing it again this year?
Thanks! I hope to be teaching this year so I will not have as much time to film, but I will put together something…
Remember it like it was yesterday.
Excellent capture of the spirit of the gathering. Well done!
Thanks!
So cool! Great job I was not expecting that green flash at sunset!!! Solid 10 even with the annoying didgeree poo 😆 Hell yeah I subscribed 😁 So want to get there soon. Maybe I can call in a fun mission favor lol
Wow Aaron! Very cool!
Great video! Date for 2024? I would love to witness spalling some big glass nodules
It’s the last week of March, including both weekends…
Don’t know why it not held in April , beautiful time of the year .
It was started by a group of college students and therefore timed with Oregon colleges spring break.
Beautiful footage! I'll be there in 2024!!!
Very good 👍🏻
Nicely done Aaron! See you at GB in March!
an awesome experience
Excellent. Shooting stars and all
Perfect weather for serious digging!
What a great video, thanks for sharing!
I'm just seeing this for the first time now, I'm Alan Ham, I live in Grand Ronde, Oregon, and I'm a member of the "The Confed. Tribes of Girand Ronde. But what's exciting to me, as an elder, is that you make our style of bow. And bowyer's like John Strunk and Steve Allely are legenday for their contributions to the, "Traditional Bowyer's Bible."
"Promo SM" 😅
The shoveling out of the lodge ….. I can see how this was a different kind of trip !!
Thank you. very helpful.
So horrid.
Washoe and Piaute are two separate tribes, people, and cultures, similar, but nor at all the same. But it's nice that you have so many pieces of my peoples history at your fingertips. It's nice that white people get to reproduce, or just sell, my actual culture.
If that's your culture, then why aren't you learning to make it and replicate it yourself? All that info is out there to learn, but unfortunately a lot of Native people just don't get involved in it because they simply don't care. I know a FEW native guys who replicate stuff from their culture, but it's very rare. Instead of making salty comments on the internet, get off your ass, take some classes, and start learning how to do it yourself. If you did, then YOU could post videos showing off your work. But like most people nowadays, you're just another computer commando that really don't do anything productive. Sadly you are a perfect example of why white people have to replicate stuff that is apparently "yours".
It’s not just white people I’m black and I’ve made Native American weapons better than some natives I’ve been making traditional and primitive weapons for 13 years. I get your point, it kinda pisses me off to see antique katana being handled without the honor they deserve, but unlike the swords these were mostly given away to white friends and they gave them to family or museums and that how they spread, the katana were most likely stolen as they have a stronger sense of respect for them therefore they are less likely to give that away than you are for a measly arrow. Think of it this way if we didn’t have access to your stuff than we are more likely to misrepresent you in a negative light, that’s why gatekeeping culture is not only immature and racist, but harmful to the survivability of your culture. Not to mention it’s just an arrow 90% of culture have them most of them better than yours
Are you making traditional arrows?
One would think you’d be happy to see valuable knowledge passed down and honored instead of forgotten.
Such a great video
anyone think about a large biface but leave one end as found (no working)? Might make an interesting piece
How would a person get the date for next years glass buttes knap-in? I would love to travel out there for this event. This is a fantastic video also.
We have a FB group where the dates are discussed. It is generally set to coincide with spring break for oregon universities.
Put that damn lens in your pocket.
