I'm fascinated by Ötzis's story too. More fascinated by his clothing and what he carried: the medicine mushrooms, his food supply, use of plant fibres...This are my subjects. Natural mummies can tell us a lot. Greetings from Germany.
I have found two early bronze age axe heads here in England while metal detecting. It still blows my mind how smart these guys were thousands of years ago. Love your videos!!
Absolutely amazing, I attempted to make an quartzite adze, took me some time to pick the right materials and test some models. Your idea of “a way not the way” has really helped me adapt to acquire a mind set and skills to make tools on the east coast! Thank you Mr. Dust. Have you ever used klamath duck skipping arrows?
Thanks. Appreciate it greatly. I’m not a fan of them and don’t think they hold any real function. I think folks might have them misinterpreted as skipping arrows. From someone who hunts ducks every year…a skipping arrow is far less accurate than just shooting a normal arrow from a bow. Either way…the arrows in the water. It just makes sense to shoot it with a bow and normal arrow.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks makes sense! I had a friend tell me about them and I was a little skeptical on the effectiveness of a arrow skipping and taking a target down the physics don’t make sense for a hunt. Maybe Klamath skipping arrows was some sort of game or recreational activity? Have a good one 🤙🏼
What happened to the Schöningen spears episode you put up the other day? I know it was half done but I assumed, when you took it down that you were gonna put it back up with the second half attached.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks thats too bad, must have put some time into that one. I do like the longer style videos like that a lot, to hear the in-depth explanations and details is enjoyable and easier to understand. Appreciate it.
I have never had an interest in primitive skills, but I follow you on all social media and can't get enough of your clips/reels/shorts. Love the tone of knoledge you share and the chill vibes.
What an amazing video. I've been reading about ancient humans and stone tools for school but have been in dire need of some perspective, this video definitely gives some.
the Gods spoke! Could you do a clip on Otzi's clothing and accoutrements? His every day carry or perhaps it's better referred to as Otzi's last day carry. Maybe you could include the gear of Kwaday Dan Ts'inchi. Thanks for sharing.
Otzi the iceman has facinated me ever since I found out about him. His unfinished bow and those 12 arrows makes me think he was running away from someone. He was 100% killed by someone with that arrowhead in his shoulder, but I dont nessesarily think that he picked the fight. Maybe he stole something of theirs and they came for revenge unexpectedly.
The place he was shot makes it unlikely he didn't know he was being followed. If you check it out on google Earth you will see he was high on a barren rock ridge with very little cover. In an alpine setting like that you can see for miles and hear almost as far. It would have been almost impossible to approach him without being detected.
@@dooleyfussle8634 thats probably why he stayed in the mountains, so he couldn't be snuck up on. But obviously whoever had something against him eventually caught up and shot him. My guess, like I said, is that he may have stole something but who really knows. The blood on his knife and whatnot could have been from someone he murdered, but also could have been a self-defence thing.
@@izzyc.6559 it could have very well been this fine copper axe that caused him to meet his demise. Copper was hard to come by and a bit like this was worth a great deal at the time. Maybe he did kill and take it from it's previous owner.May be that someone wanted it from him bad enough to kill for it.Sure is a mystery and plausible explanations are all we have I guess.
I recently read that they had found DNA markers from two different people in blood on two of the arrows Otzi had in his quiver. Now how do you get other people's blood on the arrows you're carrying? Most obvious way I can think of is retrieving them from dead bodies. Not likely to walk up to a wounded guy, pull your arrow out ("I'll take that back, thank you!") and wish him good luck.
Very well done! I have collected stone points and used to do a good bit of flint knapping but this video taught me more about actually using stone tools than anything I have ever seen.
Awesome. Thats my objective. Stone tools are tools. So many are focused on the projectiles but we often overlook the tools aspect. Thanks for watching.
Just back from visiting Otzi at the museum in Bolzano.The axe stood out for me , it's a beautiful artifact on many levels. Great to see it been authentically reproduced , no short cuts, power tools. Great job 👏
Ive been watching your content for a few months now. I gotta say seeing you do what you do, it’s an inspiration. The overwhelming urge to go out into the wild and try to do some of the things you do is really getting to me lol. I’m very happy to watch your videos. And I hope to see you keep doing it for a long time. Respect, man. 👍
Love that you used flake knives to build the copper axe, transitional right? We did our DNA 6 years ago our family is directly linked to Otzi, no joke.
Good to see it being done before your very eyes, warts and all. The thought occurs that heating the copper axe enough to burn the wood might have helped fit it into the haft? Thank you.
Enjoyed not only seeing how the copper head could be used and hafted, but also how you can use stone tools for your wood working. Also, you need to put eyes on the wood behind the axe head.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Always man! If you ever did a "story time" video on things you've seen out there you couldn't explain, or spooky stuff.. I would watch the hell out of that too man! Appreciate you as well!
I have been following for about a month now and I have to say I am fascinated with each video. How did you learn these skills what materials would work best (stones for tools and how to identify them in nature)
Love this. I am trying to replicate otzi's kit, for a Neolithic/chalcolithic age reenactment for a local national park. This helps so much. Thank you for your time and quality videos.
Love your videos im a big fan of stone age technology and tribal culture..im part Cherokee so anything involving how are ancestors once survived really helps younger generations learn something about themselves.
Do you find storing your flints like that damages the cutting edges? I though they would need to be separated to stop the super sharp edges from breaking off like you need to with steel knives. I’ve read that some flints carry a finer blade than a scalpel, even down to a cell in thickness. If so that edge would last longer if protected during transport.
Just subscribed a few days ago so haven't seen all your vids yet but all I can say is "Rock on!" It'd be cool if you could list what goes on in the build like the glue, the string, etc...what each is made of. Thanks for the hard work! PS that Amazon race was freakin AWESOME!!!
Mate , Ozzie is a gift , poor bloke seems to have died with an arrow in his back. You're channel is awesome. I have two ground axes on my place . And a stone grinding groove with original stone grinder in situe, left where they were found. Hopefully someone in the far future will find them. Thanks for passing on this knowledge.

Donny, I'm interested in your take on an advanced ice age civilization that may have passed knowledge to hunter-gatherer types about the time of the Younger-Dryas 12,800-11,600 years ago. Maybe a long form video discussing technology and practices in the context of the theories of folks like the Cosmic Tusk, Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson et al? Love your videos!
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Anything would be great, I truly love a good storm. And thanks for the reply, been following you on here for a bit, absolutely fascinating content. 👍
Not an expert, but from what I understand: The bark gets in the way of the wood drying out properly (in the living tree, one of its purposes is to prevent it from losing moisture) and if the wood doesn't dry out, it starts rotting and becomes brittle.
I recall that National Geographic Magazine did a 10 page article on Otsi many years ago. Does anyone know the year and issue date? Does anybody know the exact demensions of the axe head?
I took a dna test 3 years ago turns out I got DNA connected with OTZI The Iceman. Your videos are rare. Very humbled by the gift of craftsmanship you have.

That was so good to watch. Especially because I'm making a handle for my axe right now. And because it is so amazing to see the same kind of technique to carve a wood I'm using, just with a bit different tools. Some things change, some stay the same for thousands of years 😁
I remember years ago when I first read about Otzi the Iceman one amazing story I have a commemorative knife that i were as a talking piece and functional knife its not what he had buy its the story and idea behind it thats amazing, sad and very insightful into the past.
Following grain direction with a cardscraper,spoke shave or drawknjfe is the easiest woodworking skill there is. Children can learn it at a young age ( check Paul Sellers' discussions of teaching his children at age 5.) It must have been so with stone tools as well If the grain digs or binds, turn it around. Love your channel sir.
Thanks, Donnie. You and one of the UK Time Team's archeologists- Phil Harding would be amazingly popular together. He would be very impressed with your skills.
The life of the poor man 5000 years ago lead was horrendous. He was sick,fatigued and injured.That was his every day routine reality. Your interpretation does him full justice..
Why don’t you wear hiking shoes or steel toed shoes instead of sandals? Where do you keep all of the items you’ve made? You’ve made many bows and arrows and all sorts of stuff.
I can see how easily early man could have cut their hand open easily making tools like this. I know it may not seem like a huge deal but back then infection could do a number and possibly killed you.
Hello Mr Dust ! I've watched many reports of what 'Otzi's' belongings were when his remains were found & I cant help but think that the so called 'Dagger' was in fact used in conjunction with his iron pyrites to make fire ! I know thats not as ' romantic ' as ' dagger ' but thats what I see ! Thank you for this video report !
The process of how to identify copper ore and refine the ore and make bellows and an urn to melt the lead and how to make the mold out of soapstone was probably a carefully guarded secret by the guild that practiced the art. They would have had a valuable trading commodity in that day and age.
I'm fascinated by Ötzis's story too. More fascinated by his clothing and what he carried: the medicine mushrooms, his food supply, use of plant fibres...This are my subjects. Natural mummies can tell us a lot.

Good to see it being done before your very eyes, warts and all. The thought occurs that heating the copper axe enough to burn the wood might have helped fit it into the haft? Thank you.
Copper is a soft metal. The key is to avoid burning in the haft…that can eliminate weak spots in the handle.
I know Otzi used plant fiber cordage, but do you think that sinew would be more effective for an axe?
Yeah…I think rawhide would be best, but can soften with moisture…same with sinew. Leather or tanned hide is the way to go!
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks oh yeah, that does make sense for a larger tool. Good call!

Why did you remove the bark from the wood?
Not an expert, but from what I understand: The bark gets in the way of the wood drying out properly (in the living tree, one of its purposes is to prevent it from losing moisture) and if the wood doesn't dry out, it starts rotting and becomes brittle.
Cool stuff. Looks like a contemplative and meditative process with practical usefulness.
Can you make axe without doing flintnap only finding stone to use?
What is that black substance that you used to glue the chisel to the wood?
It is probably pine resin and charcoal. Heated and stirred together to make glue.
I guess God there in the end said: ONE TREE PER DAY IS ENOUGH SIR!!??

Hello Mr Dust ! I've watched many reports of what 'Otzi's' belongings were when his remains were found & I cant help but think that the so called 'Dagger' was in fact used in conjunction with his iron pyrites to make fire ! I know thats not as ' romantic ' as ' dagger ' but thats what I see ! Thank you for this video report !
It’s also interesting and mysterious on how otzi iceman made the copper axe head
Otsi probably didnt make the copper axe head himself. He probably traded for it.
Copper was one of the first metals that man learned to work and cast.
Maybe
The process of how to identify copper ore and refine the ore and make bellows and an urn to melt the lead and how to make the mold out of soapstone was probably a carefully guarded secret by the guild that practiced the art.
They would have had a valuable trading commodity in that day and age.
Have seen any cryptids in wood like those name we can say
Nope…just moose and bears!
Magnifique !!!
Excellent!
