Primitive Stone Saw for Cutting Branches (episode 24)

  • One of the earliest primitive technologies by humans was the use of stone to make simple but effective survival tools. Stone can be used to make cutting blades, weapons, shelters and even cups and bowls. The basic bushcraft technique for shaping a stone is flintknapping. In this video I find a type of stone that I believe is rhyolite. Rhyolite was used by native people to make spear points and arrowheads. It is rather easy to shape by flintknapping. I need to cut some branches for construction of my new hut so I test these stone blades on a medium-sized juniper branch to see how well they perform. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

    Location: Parts Unknown
    FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
    Who films you?
    Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend, but that has been very rare.
    How many cameras do you use?
    Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
    Where is this place?
    In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
    Where did you get your sandals?
    I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandal...
    (Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
    Do you workout?
    Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
    Are you vegan or vegetarian?
    I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
    Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
    No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
    How many languages do you speak?
    My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
    How old are you?
    I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 49.
    Where did you get the music in your videos?
    This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including UA-cam. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

    One day I had a powerful vision.
    An elder spoke to me, here is what he said...
    The stones speak. They speak a diverse orchestra with the instruments in your hand. Each tool and method will make a sound. And once you learn to consistently make the notes again and again there is nothing you can't make... Pick up a suspect stone and tap it with the deer hammer. If it speaks ( TING TING!!) it can take any shape you desire...
    Stones absolutely talk you have to learn to listen to them.
    For every tool a modern carpenter and butcher has, they had their stone version back then.
    It's the art of setting up the right angle ( platform) and releasing the right amount of energy in it.
    there's a reason why the shark, wolf, and python have such long pointy teeth. Play the final edge to the shape of a carnivores teeth. when you set it a certain way, you will have the sharpest naturally occurring edge on earth...
    I have been waiting for the right time to share this lesson with you. Flintnapping changed my entire view on mankind forever. I feel this lesson is extremely relevant to you as well Chad.

    I do flint knapping myself on a regular basis, so i thought i would give some suggestions on how to get better results from your knapping. The first issue i saw with your knapping was your hammerstone. The ideal hammerstone should be a round-ish rock that is a hard stone like granite. For the size of rhyolite you had there you would want something fairly small, at least for only making the edge. You might also want to look for some higher quality rhyolite. The stuff you were working with looked quite grainy. The smoother and glassier the inside of a stone is the better it will flintknapp (generally.) If you have any questions about knapping reply to this comment and ill try to answer your questions as best i can.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  3 роки тому +15

      Thanks for your information. I am very much a beginner at flintknapping. I have knapped several small spear points and arrowheads but none of them turned out as good as I would have liked and most were with other materials, mostly smooth beach rock that I split in half and then knapped the edges. I haven't found any smooth rhyolite thus far. I will look for a better hammerstone as you suggested. I know that this process will take quite a lot of time to learn but I do hope to get fairly good at it. I appreciate all your tips so thank you very much.

    Chad, I believe you can somehow utilize fire to harvest the tree branches. Possibly make a hole at the top side of the branch and use hot coals to burn a hole through, weakening the branch until you can snap it.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  3 роки тому +5

      You know what, I have totally been contemplating that idea. First I need a small vessel to carry the fire. I've done this before where I made a torch and placed it on the ground and then I positioned a branch at the top of the flame and it slowly burned through and split the wood. It's a great technique to passively cut through wood and I will definitely be doing this soon as I make a small clay vessel and collect some pine sap to light on fire.

    In this fast paced age of useless passtimes like facebook and tiktok turned full time hobbies, it is very therapeutic to see a man spending two hours on cutting a branch with primitive tools. May be I am reading too much into it but it showed me the real way to success, i.e., painful but slow and steady persistent progress towards your goal.

      I'm glad that you can actually see value in hard persistent work. This video was very much an experiment to see if I could successfully cut a branch with a most primitive tool. Most people are seeing it as a waste of time and energy. I got a good workout from this too. When a person goes to the gym to lift weights or run on a treadmill, etc. they only move around weight and burn calories but accomplish nothing else. In addition to a good workout I managed to cut a branch as well. Hahahahaha!

    Maybe a bow drill with a stone bit might be useful to take the bulk of the material out, and then use a stone saw to chip away the rest... Might be less taxing on your Energy. This videos are perfect to induce into reflection about the amount of time and effort necessary to make things that we give for granted, and the power of will and temperance needed to accomplish them from scratch. Every step of the process is a triumph of the body and mind in perfect sinergy. And having energy to spare in the filming, editing and uploading the videos is remarcable.

    Just a thought, I wonder if using a smaller stone like a chisel would be a little more efficient. You know take a smaller, sharpened rock that is thicker on one end, then sharp at the other and hit it with a stone. Working with the grain of the wood might be easier than to work work against it. Just take out little chips, kinda like you would do with an axe.

      In this journey I have taken a different approach than many others. Rather than studying how to do something and what the best materials are I am starting from the very primitive basics based on my own discoveries and observations. I'm having a very "organic" experience. In other words, I'm developing the technologies based on my own observations and experiences. I choose this way so that I may think out of the box and perhaps discover ways that may be unknown today. There are several things that I've done different from what others may recommend and they work well. Particularly regarding health and fitness. I've gone ways that nobody else I've ever heard of has gone and I have found that these ways work. So, without being taught by others I am relying purely on my own experiments to develop methods. Does this make sense?

    Good job Chad. Every minute you spend in making good tools or improving them worth it, so keep up the nice job.

      @@ChadZuberAdventures it's a simple diging tool made out of a big heavy piece of hardened wood with a step on it. You could use it to extract big chunks of this compacted dry soil and the crush it with a stone to fine clay. Alternativelly, you could made a Ancient egyptian hoe; also a ver simple, primitive and efficient tool to work with soil.
      I'd recommend you to do a little research on both tools and consider building one or another.

      I have seen and been very close to coyotes many times throughout my life even as a child and they are the most timid creatures. They always would run away, even when in a pack. I hear coyotes up here almost every morning and evening when they make a kill and do their victory howl but I haven't yet seen one. As for pumas or mountain lions, I assume that they probably exist here but I haven't seen them either.

    Cool that you're getting into flintknapping, I'm quite interested in it myself!
    One thing to mention though, I've heard that leftovers from modern flintknappers may confuse archeologists and experimental archeologists put a leather tarp under them to collect the leftover flakes they produce for this reason, so if you care about that it may be an idea, though not an archeologist myself so don't know how big of a problem this is.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures

    I figured youd make a saw but I thought you were going to go the obvious route and use the cows jawbone with teeth still in it. I know several primitive natives used animal jaws with teeth as saws but I have no idea how it would fare against dry hard juniper.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures

      I don't know how that would work. Maybe if I set the teeth into pine pitch glue, otherwise they would fall out on the first pull across the branch.

      @IngeniousOutdoors 3 роки тому

      @@ChadZuberAdventures yeah I'm not sure how they did it honestly. I just know that jawbone saws are found all around the world in the archaeological record. I imagine you could, as you said, reset the teeth in the jaw using pitch. I feel like you probably just busted the rock saw out real quick and plan on making legit tools later so I was just making a generalized comment.
