Good video. Great demo. The flint should sharpen itself with each swing. Mini flakes and such. Ground axes are hell to make primitively. I made one from granite and it took me weeks.
Prior 0211 lat move here... your stuff doesnt get the views and attention it deserves... cant get enough of this stuff. Currently stuck up in a country where everything cool is forbidden and your youtube content is keeping me sane!
There's some great use cases using the technique you used for carving a hole. It's amazing what can be done with some time, patience and ingenuity. I love watching these videos and learning what can be accomplished with the most basic of tools. That tree got close to landing on you though lol nice reflexes. Anyway, great video, keep them coming!
Steel will always out last, this simply showing a method from our ancient past...don’t forget we have used stone far longer than steel. Thanks for watching.
I did a few double takes watching this video because I kept feeling like Geralt from The Witcher was teaching me how to make an axe. Thanks for the video you rock!
I love your videos and this one is no exception! Approx how long did it take to gouge out that socket in the pine wood for the axe head to fit in? I heard that polished stone axes outlive knapped ones by 10 times, maybe grind it and make a comparison anyways, love your work, cheers!
Thanks and greatly appreciate it. Total time to include, burning the hole and sealing with pitch...about two and a half hours. A ground or polished axe does outlast a knapped one. I have a few ground ones I need to make a video on. Thanks for watching.
Im starting to like your videos survival is something most have forgotten either on purpose or unconsciously you give hope to the survival of our species taking the time to share knowledge that should be common knowledge arround the globe as i said we’ve either forgotten consciously and unconsciously
That tree almost struck back at 11:44. Good stuff, man. Going to attempt one of these. Working on a Macuahuitl. Butt, handle, and blade are done. Got ahold of 43 lbs of obsidian. Just need tools to practice knapping. Cheers!
I have found broken axes found in a place next to the road I am pretty experienced at finding things here in the Midwest hint battle of Vincennes Indiana buffalo trace not many know where it's at all were granite love what your doing
so i got an ad about a min into the video and i gotta say that ad was funny af watched the whole thing that was a hell of a spoon 🤣. Good video btw Donny love the stone axe
Yo, Donny, the Asian guys use chisels to make the initial hole in the wood and burn around the hole to shape/harden it. Asian people use chisels MUCH more than others. I'm gonna use their trick to speed up the axe making :) Just a quick stone chisel beforehand The nerve damage in my leg is healing up :) I'm planning to stay a year in nature (i'm in Albania. Once the rainy season is over, I'm heading out (late march-april). There are a lot of mountains here so I'm just gonna run into the mountains (I'm from Indiana, not used to mountains lol). I don't have any attachments or desires in this society. My plan is to make stone knives and sell them in whatever town I am near for money for various things (salt and vegetables). I want to hunt and live as a free man. Shakyamuni Buddha urges... Unlike last time, I have a couple months to prep and scout areas. I want to use my mind and my hands. I want my body to get ripped and shredded (strong). I want to be free. More free than I already am. God has been pushing me to be able to live in whatever place. HE guides me. The quiet voice. I wish you peace in this psychotic world. I hope that you are able to find your peace within your own mind. Women are the here and now. Men live in their minds. Women are simple; men are stupid. Two halves of the same coin. I'm 29 and have no connections. I want to be one of them natural wild men of GOD... one of them "free-range" men; like them chickens :) P.S. The Asian (I think Vietnamese... 2nd guess Thai) channel is called Primitive Technology Idea. Type in 365 Days How I Survival to find a cornucopia of knowledge. P.P.S. Your channel has fuchin' EXPLODED over the last couple months! Enjoy it! ;) But remember your freedom. Cherish the soft, sensitive little boy that is our spirit. Too many forget that. GOD knows all. Our spirit is ALL we have. Aaron
I'm curious as to how to make a saw blade from stone, I can easily assume using small flakes alternating, but seeing it done by someone who's familiar with the techniques would be far more educational.
I’ve always wanted to do this but how?? Did you just go to a random Forrest and start living there or did you pick a specific place I don’t wanna go to jail for trespassing on someone’s land
What are sum starter tools and things I should do for my first night in the wild I know I’ll need a fire a shelter and running water (I was in the army for a short time ) but what weapons did you start with did you start with fishing or trapping small mammals and Reptiles
Nice job, I've seen some wrapped w/ buck skin instead of pitch.... In a Pennsylvania trading post, they found 150 stone axes that the Indians threw aside after trading for metal axes...
How do you determine the best type of stone to use for flakes/ knives/ axes? My property is basically Shale and Im sure there are other types of stone that are more suitable but curious if you have any advice on finding the right type of stone to work with. Thanks for the information!!
To find my axe blade, I walked on a rocky ocean facing beach. Most rocks there were round, but eventually I found a very nice flat oval shaped one, with one end slightly narrow - perfect for inserting into a handle hole like he created in the video. The stone of mine is like basalt or similar, definitely not sedimentary which would fracture. I am going to have to hand grind the striking edge of it. If I was in a forest I'd look for a creek or a blown over tree root, and look for hard stones under it. This is a great video. I like his coal method. My wood handle is alder or something very green and hard, very hard to work. A coal might have made it easier to make the hole for my axe head.
This is the best conent ever would love to get some tips on how to make other things as well if I wanted a weapon I would go to you could sell your stuff and make some money of it
“Stick around, I hope you enjoy. “ immediately takes off shirt
and sure enough, there was not one, but many sticks around

That was awesome buddy!
Thanks brother. Glad you liked it and appreciated it. 🤙🤙🤙
incredible. ive never seen an axe made like this before. in awe. keep up the great work
Good video. Great demo. The flint should sharpen itself with each swing. Mini flakes and such.

Yeah i tried to make a ground axe. Lets say I settled for a tranchet axe
imagine how useful this guy is in an apocalypse
Haha. I hope so. Thanks for watching.

It is amazing to think of our first ancestors working out these methods! Fascinating video and so cool too thank you! 🤙
Might be one of the coolest channels I’ve subbed to in a long time..
I like stone tools a lot, but for long term living steel is so much more effective. Still a really good video, nice work 🤙

Very good ideas here. Especially use of fire. Thanks for sharing this!
I followed you from tiktok you are the only one calming my head right now I hope you are safe and happy
It's nice to learn the old ways just in case of unknown disasters to happen in your life. You can never be to sure.
Absolutely. Appreciate you watching.
Haha he looks so preppy in his sweater then he takes it off and immediately he’s a wilderness survivalist.
That was great!
This is your best video yet! :-) thank you for explaining why you did each step!
Lowkey this vid is peaceful and calming 😇

Thanks for the video you rock!
I have a peck and ground celt I need to finish shaping. This gave me some ideas for hafting.
awesome. Glad I was able to give some ideas to you. Enjoy. Thanks for watching.
A silver sword and a steel sword would look good together.

This video is awesome now I know how to make a stone axe without rope. Also I subscribed
Very nice brother!
Originally found you on TikTok. Your work inspires me to try out knapping. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I have found broken axes found in a place next to the road I am pretty experienced at finding things here in the Midwest hint battle of Vincennes Indiana buffalo trace not many know where it's at all were granite love what your doing
Thank you buddy✌ for your teaching everything you do is most definitely handy look forward to learning more
And that's a stone axe. I had never seen one made. Now I have.
Cheers.
so i got an ad about a min into the video and i gotta say that ad was funny af watched the whole thing that was a hell of a spoon 🤣. Good video btw Donny love the stone axe
Very good 🙂.thanks for the interesting and useful videos)
No problem
Very cool Donny👍
Is this guy from the survival show Alone????
It’s me.
Donny and greg ovens both
People forgot how to use fire to make stuff. It amazes me how many things you can do with fire when you have the knowledge to use it
A good way i also puting stick in the mud or clay and burn from soft soft side. The edges are safe.
A realistic ballistic dummy head / torso test would be awesome
I'm watching you on ALONE right now donny
May you make a video of how to make a campfire on rainy days?
Thanks Geralt
HAHAHA. I have heard that before...thanks! you are too kind!
Wow using fire as a cutting tool is pretty impressive.
I love your videos very inspirational you're a good dude

thank you soo much thats whaat i needed a perfect awesome stone axe
Remember when me and my friends made stone axes and we used peels from sticks for a grip
They worked pretty well
Man that I wanna try.
If anyone can...you can my bro.
Where did you get the stone?
Stone axes like these were used to cut down much of Europe's ancient forest. They just beaver chewed through the trees.

Great job!
What kind of stone is this is it flint ?
You should do alone again
Never seen pine pinch glue made like that. Very expedient..........
I think, n I'm sure I'm not alone, you're awesome 👏
Why do you burn the hole instead of carving one out? Is it easier? Does it make the hold stronger?
I watch your TIKTOK and awesome videos
Axe are so useful. In my region of the world its equivalent to the katana for japan
This guy has lungs of steel!
Why not shape a flake, fit it to a bow drill set to help hollow out your cavity as opposed to your axe head?
It’s for sure a way of producing a hollow portion. It works, but it will require other tools I didn’t have. I had fire...so that was the tool I used.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks
Fair enough! Was merely curious!
Outstanding video, it takes a great deal of work to make these.
Donny Earth!? Who would change an ultra cool name like Donny Dust!? Who!? 💚
Didn't know Geralt of Rivia makes TH-cam videos

Nice Gerald of Rivia..
why pine sap and charcol and poop (of all things) for glue?
Hey there, do you happen to have any books out at all?
very nice axe
What do you do about coyotes
Hunt them....maybe much on a few.
Great to know, thanks 👍
I’ve always wanted to do this but how?? Did you just go to a random Forrest and start living there or did you pick a specific place I don’t wanna go to jail for trespassing on someone’s land
I go to different places. State by state. All have different regulations. I usually go to BLM and National forests.
OUTSTANDING !!
👍🏻🇺🇸💯
I stumbled upon your videos on Tik tok this morning. Everything you’ve crafter is f****** awesome!!!! 🤟🏽
I'm surprised the rest of the stick around the hole didn't weaken from the fire.
he wetted the area with the saliva so it wouldnt burn
Have you ever done peck and grind for an axe?
Thank you for sharing the video it is educational.
What are sum starter tools and things I should do for my first night in the wild I know I’ll need a fire a shelter and running water (I was in the army for a short time ) but what weapons did you start with did you start with fishing or trapping small mammals and Reptiles
What kind of shoes are you wearing?
I’d just train a beaver to do my felling.
That would be great to watch.
What type of stone do you use. I tried making one but the stone fall apart
Cherts are the best option. Stay away from anything obsidian in nature.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks great thank you very much

He looks like Geralt of Riva.
I’m not sure who that is, but thanks?
Geralt, is that you?
11:40 uff, it was close 😱
Nice video bro thanks for sharing
Its kinda small right? Can he make a bigger one?
God bless you!!
That’s so cool!
Nice job, I've seen some wrapped w/ buck skin instead of pitch.... In a Pennsylvania trading post, they found 150 stone axes that the Indians threw aside after trading for metal axes...

Medicine. Seriously some meds Incase I have heart related issues.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks ah, praying that never happens
How do you determine the best type of stone to use for flakes/ knives/ axes? My property is basically Shale and Im sure there are other types of stone that are more suitable but curious if you have any advice on finding the right type of stone to work with. Thanks for the information!!
I don't think if hes gonna awnser, but I can recommend flint and oval stones, you can find the oval ones at a river/lake/sea
I mean almost every stone works as long as it doesn't break into tiny pieces
To find my axe blade, I walked on a rocky ocean facing beach. Most rocks there were round, but eventually I found a very nice flat oval shaped one, with one end slightly narrow - perfect for inserting into a handle hole like he created in the video.

9:13 Moose poop? What if that is hard to come by? Can you recommend any other type of poop? Dog poop? Rabbit poop? What do you suggest?
Deer, rabbit. Goat, elk…hooves critters that eat grasses and shrubs.
