Mad respect to the archeologist who actually learned how to do it!

@MananagKiVato 7 лет назад

ywecur_ a lot of archeologists learn to flintknap actually.

@SuperSonicMaster007 7 лет назад

I'm not an archeologist and I thought myself to flint knapp

@brandynr2527 6 лет назад

Can confirm, I am an archeologist that is addicted to flintknapping.

@kyle.s6646 6 лет назад

I'm not a archeologist but I make my own tools for flint knapping and I am addicted to flint knapping.

@jimmorgan21 5 лет назад

I do some. I normally make arrowheads from glass bottle bottoms to practice.

@ryanlaurence569 7 лет назад

Knapping is such a cool skill to master. It's so "primitive" yet so calculated.

@zorzo999 7 лет назад

waaaw this is cutting edge technologie

@abdulmajied4941 9 лет назад

it so sad people didn't like this kind of documentary stuff.. but if go to alien thingy channel, music or food the view is damn high.

@Sunwakka 8 лет назад

+Abdul Majied the views on the kardashians is too goddamn high!

@Sunwakka 8 лет назад

+Abdul Majied people seem more attracted to mindless entertainment rather than education.

@emilyp.4999 7 лет назад

Sunwakka get rid of god.. that's not the meme... the number of radians in a circle is two damn pi!!!

@nayandusoruth2468 7 лет назад

Abdul Majied, it's not that people do not like this type of content, but is rather the RU-vid algorithm not promoting it. RU-vid wants to keep you watching as long as possible, which longer videos are likely to do. But they also need a high video frequency, which is not really possible for this type of content, however, with its high quality this type of content is good at keeping subscribers, so this channel will grow slowly but surely, eventually creating a large yet stable channel. The fact that RU-vid doesn't really promote this type of content is actually good as then the videos are less likely to get seen by non subscribers making click bait a non viable tactic.

@Zsiefring 9 лет назад

Very cool! I really enjoy these videos.

@thomassawyer4785 6 лет назад

I bet if Primitive Technology, watched this he would be laughing his ass off

@MisterTalkingMachine 5 лет назад

I like how the guy advised on using gloves to avoid showing blood on screen, while Andy bleeds on the show every other episode.

@seandever5761 8 лет назад

How do you only have 50,000 subs? This stuff is great

@ron0126 7 лет назад

September 2017 he's up to 378,000 subs! And I agree, these videos are great!

@RailwayPenguin 5 лет назад

He now has 1mil

@MountainJohn Год назад

lmao 1.68 million 3 / 15 / 2023

@pinkliongaming8769 4 года назад

"I figure we don't want to have blood on the screen" Remember the time he skinned a deer

@pinkliongaming8769 4 года назад

@christopher snedeker yeah, the sandwich one right?

@suicune690 7 лет назад

I always forget my box cutter for work, so I switched to using sharp rocks from the parking lot instead...

@attackingelectron 9 лет назад

Bro you are absolutely awesome

@usernamemykel 8 лет назад

From where are those flintknapping text pages on the wall obtained?

@shounenbat510 5 лет назад

I'd like to know, too!

@drkarthik1990 7 лет назад

Awesome man. I would love to contribute to your patreon account if you have one. This stuff is worthy of a TV series.

@marlonortiz4193 6 лет назад

I love your series and your work keep the great work up

@savitalalotra2999 Год назад

Respect to the guy

@HipposHateWater 6 лет назад

A mini-series on some sort of progression of hunting tools would be interesting for the brainstorming list too. You could start with something like a stone-pointed spear or a rabbit stick, go up to a sling, and perhaps end with a modern bow? (Ignoring the progression to firearms for the tooling/legal/controversial quagmire it could pose.) Not sure how you would spin it to fit the theme perfectly, but the good news is you likely wouldn't need to travel all across the continent to source the footage or materials.

@zeroXDXD 8 лет назад

Thanks op! nice videos!

@meyo4158 6 лет назад

Where can I find the literature you have hanging on the wall, on this subject?

@brandynr2527 6 лет назад

Andrefsky has a good book on it, but there are hundreds and hundreds of videos on how to expertly flint knap on youtube.

@Arv.99 7 лет назад

Is this a tv show. Or is it strictly RU-vid videos

@janmycek9012 7 лет назад

he made 1 tv documentary before his career as a youtuber but he wa never called back by the program so he just does youtube now

@boarbot7829 6 лет назад

@Archiekunst 7 лет назад

"you need to strike at one surface that is adjacent to another surface at an angle less than 90 degrees" God! I know it's good to be scientific but he could just have said hit on the sloping end or strike at the tapering end.

@youtubehandlesareridiculous 6 лет назад

Professor most likely paid generously by state. Spends his day smashing rocks together.

@brandynr2527 6 лет назад

He studies tools made by Homo eretus, habilis, etc. He is likely a lithics expert. Your most distant ancestors made it possible to type this shitty comment by smashing rocks together.

@tigerclawzgaming 3 года назад

this is ground breaking technology

@francocurtti2833 9 лет назад

buen video. sigue así.

@drakirger4297 3 года назад

Whe i was 5 me and my broters tryed it with basalt and sandstone it dosent works realy well but we cut trough a smal roop at least with the basalt one

@jzjzjzj 2 года назад

basalt is decently knappable but basalt is very variable

@74aztlan 7 лет назад

Great!

@finndogg3415 7 лет назад

Tools are the biggest inception ever. Wait, TOOLCEPTION

@grainassault4844 6 лет назад

I taught myself how to knap stone tools. It's easy when you don't go for high quality.

@thefareplayer2254 6 лет назад

Flint? How about clean water?

@ethanthompson431 6 лет назад

Hah epic funny lol

@noahkoenig4447 7 лет назад

i cant find any flint/ obsidian in MN

@MananagKiVato 7 лет назад

Noah Koenig Don't only look for flint or obsidian, walk around some rivers and you can probably find some agates, look for basalt even, if it's fine grained enough they often fracture conchoidally.

@patrickjablonowski7796 7 лет назад

Noah Koenig if you can't find flint or obsidion you can use glass instead.

@patrickjablonowski7796 7 лет назад

christopher snedeker yes it is dangerous and glass isn't the strongest alot of times when I flintknap with glass the arrow head might break in half and little shards go everywhere

@patrickjablonowski7796 7 лет назад

christopher snedeker but it still works so I use it

@velazquezarmouries 6 лет назад

Noah Koenig use glass

@michaelvernon9459 7 лет назад

What all the tool made from flint or any rock?

@elijahandrewcassidy1650 7 лет назад

Michael Vernon pretty much anything the breaks with a concoidile fracture and has silica in it. Like flint Quarz obsidians and cherts. You can also use copper boppers and copper pressure flakes I use antler personally this technic is called "abo"

@brandynr2527 6 лет назад

It has to be a rock that is hard, fine-grained, and a homogeneous material. Flint, Chert, obsidian, modern glass, agates, etc. are all stone that can be made into sharp tools. You can make many other tools from different types of rock, but sharp ones have to be like flint.

@dzaesonp8599 7 лет назад

i cant wait for someone to start in primitive technology from nothing or primitive technology to medieval technology or so on

@restitutororbis675 8 лет назад

If you want a efficient way of turning a rock into a the rock that they want go on primitive technology and watch how to make an axe

@MananagKiVato 7 лет назад

The White Ax Masta he uses the grinding method, a lot of the time it's not as effective or efficient. Though he does occasionally use knappable lithics.

@restitutororbis675 7 лет назад

When I see my atrocious grammar from this two year old comment, I feel like i'm going to die

@roomerfall9101 6 лет назад

That one dude talks too much English translation:"smash this rock with this rock to make it sharp"

@roomerfall9101 6 лет назад

Sorry but Im not about that "hit it at a 90° angle type shit

@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338 6 лет назад

its more than just " HIT IT REALLY HARD " or "HIT IT AT A NINETY DEGREE ANGLE" stuff, you constantly need to do things like abrading, tapering the edge, creating isolated platforms, and removing step fractures, and it gets even more complicated since you need specific types of stones that break in a predictable way, and different type of stones lead to different results, I assure you, look in your backyard for some random rocks and smash them together, because all you'll make is just a bunch of pebbles because the rocks you'll find are impossible to turn into actually useful hand axes , let alone stone spear points . so please don't run over this stuff as simple stuff that a 3 year old can do.

@brandynr2527 6 лет назад

Get some chert, obsidian, or flint and try to make something that is not only sharp, but something that resembles what a Homo erectus made and get back to me on that.
