Even if I could get a third of my viewers to watch this video , I don't think they would believe it ! I have known the process, but have never seen it. Watching this was like going back in time ! SO WELL DONE !!!
Your blessed to have a dad that knows so much ,love your tenacity....thanks for all the info super useful I'm in Colorado so i'll keep my eyes open when I go to the foothills for stinging nettles and waterleaf hope I can find some obviously in the spring/summer,tried in the past to look for obsidian /chert or some other rock that I can use to make stone tools but was kind of pressed for time will be more diligent in the future 👍👍
Haha, reverse knapping in the beginning... That's cool!.... This video here is somewhat like NW Primate, where he fashions a stone for a spear, only you explain at length where his is short silent films. (Nothing against him, just different in approach). Here, i feel like i'm watching primative Dick Proenneke at work. The narration is bar none the best i've seen anywhere. I feel like i'm really watching Nat Geo, or Wild America with Marty Stouffer. This is AWESOME 101!!!
“Wild America with Marty Stouffer” 😂 That’s high praise. We loved that show! Ya we try to error on the side of details. We’re not at all interested in just showing people what WE can do, more interested in showing people what they can do which is why we add details and narration.
In the pitch making segment the board was a cedar board and the drill was made out of ocean spray. During the fishing segment it was also a cedar board but we were using Indian Plumb for the drill. Thanks for asking.
I wonder if a knife fashioned somewhat in a sloydish shape would be better for processing the fish? I would imagine though that the tip would break under stress, so i guess it would have to be made more bluntish kind of like in the Nessmuk knife shape...??
We pulled those pics from a book in my father’s archives that was specific to North Coast Native Americans. The title escapes me at the moment but next time Im over there I’ll take a look and see.

Ron Swanson would approve of this video.
I am so impressed and inspired by ur videos, wow there is so much to be learned and yall make it so interesting
That’s great to hear. Made our day with that comment, thanks!
Never knew slate was used to make knives! Cool video! Thanks guys.
Superior knowledge and content! Thank you for sharing! I am most appreciative.
We appreciate your comments, thank you!
Every kid is amazed by ancient tools and techniques. You must have very beautiful childhood memories 😊
Yes! Beautiful indeed.
i like the things you are doing thanks
riveting to the end. You've got a great voice and cadence for this, Luke.
If free it would require no work to make it what you needed. The cost is your effort to make the tools you needed. Nice work 👍

Looks a lot like the ulu here in Alaska
Great stuff, fellow Luke. Subbed.
Your channel is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the Sub and comment Luke! There’s plenty more to come so stay tuned. 😀
The stone you use for an anvil looks a lot like a saddle quern in the early stages if use.
Hey you’re right, that’s interesting. Thanks.
This is inspiring! What species did you use for the hand dril woods?

What book are those pictures of the slate knives and uluit from?

Just use quartz pieces
With these skills, why would anyone live in modern society?
You do it beca9use it is play.
You never find natives doing it the old way. The may insist the are hunting the old way but they are not.
