    I found Shawn's channel from the mousetrap Monday series, but these type of videos of his are my favorite. It's all so intriguing I can't stop watching.

    Hi Shawn! I was surprised and honored when I reached the end of your latest video here. As you can see, I enjoy your channel immensely and have a tremendous respect and admiration for the work you do and the manner in which you do it. Your videos have been outstanding in every respect, from first to most recent. They are extremely informative and educational for folks who want to learn the mechanics of bushcraft and primitive technology, as well as presenting a good dose of the fascinating history behind the projects, tools and techniques you illustrate.
    I've always considered myself a competent and skilled woodsman and survivalist, but I have learned a great deal from your channel and have a ton of respect for your superior skill and expertise in this arena and your unselfish desire to share your passion and knowledge with the world.
    Hope to meet you personally someday soon. Until then, I tip my hat and say "Keep 'em coming brother!" And thank you again for the shout out. I'm humbled.

      +David Smith Thanks David. You have really allowed me to reach a far greater audience with your features. Some videos jump by over 6000 views on the day you publish your stories. I recently began following your work and I enjoy learning from you as well. Hopefully sometime soon our paths will cross.
      Thanks

    In a few thousand years, archeologists will be excavating at your house, find all of these ancient tools, among your PC and modern artifacts, and have trouble explaining it...seriously...your Oetzi tool videos are absolutely fascinating and very well done...thank you Shawn! I am on the cusp of buying some merch to support your work with not only this recreated Oetzi equipment, but also mouse traps!

    I have just found your channel, but as a long-time bushcrafter, I have to say how impressive your work is. I will direct as many people as I can to your site to learn some of these skills. I would love to be as adept at making cordage and flintknapping as you! You should also think about writing down so many of these pieces of information to create a book; I'd certainly buy several copies.

Its also great that we can share our passion and knowledge on TH-cam

    @johancombrinck9899 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, i enjoyed it a lot.
    You just made the life of Otzi, which i read about in a bow building book a lot more interesting. One of the things they did talk about a lot in that book was the bow that he had, and they also had instructions on how to make a replica of that bow.
    That will be one of my summer projects, as i enjoy archery in its basic form. a Plain bow with no fancy attachments.
    To that end i got a nice longbow, made using modern glues used to laminate several wood layers and horn on the tips. But it looks and shoots great. She is however a miserable old cow when it comes to slapping the daylight out of my forearm, (45 lb does sting), but i got that sorted out now.

    I think the knife was as large as it gets. If the knife was much larger, it would not have fitted the scabbard as well as it does.
    And I like your step by step videos. They are well filmed and you explain what you are doing quite well.

  • @johnaffleck6572
    @johnaffleck6572 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    very interesting. No one should mind that you used a torch to melt the copper; the more interesting part is the simple way you formed your cope and drag and the fact that it was successful !. After all, we do know that they melted the copper; and we know how; but you don't necessarily have a village and an apprentice, and a bellows operator, etc. etc. at your beck and call. If I recall correctly sometimes copper was found with some alloying metals in it in the natural state; even a small amount of other metals makes it much harder.
