Thanks for the upload, you are correct, learn what our ancestors did to survive and apply it to modern survival. Great video, wish you had uploaded it when you filmed it.
Good comparison to modern day outdoor gear. Not being too much of a gear head myself, I'll be trying a few of the items you have shown. Found the stone drill bit most impressive and will try stones we have here in northern B.C. Canada. Cheers!
Thank you for watching. If you have quartz crystals in that area, the points make excellent drill heads. I may do a separate video on drills (primitive and modern).
That would be awesome if you make a stone drill video as it looks simple enough, but it isn't, lol. We do have some agates and white quarts in the area to use, thanks. Have tried knapping with glass and antler, but it didn't turn out well and will check if there is a modern way to accomplish a stone point, for times sake.
Great question: Iron Pyrite pieces along with flint chips were found in Otzi's tinder pouch. Iron pyrite will work, it is not as efficient as steel. Something else that will work (but was not found on Otzi) is quartz and flint or just smacking two pieces of quartz together. Granted the sparks are not like those created with steel. A good charred material would certainly be needed. Thanks a ton for watching.
Interesting info! Great primitive gear...
Thanks,

Really interesting video. Lots of good information. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support.
I learned something, pretty neat idea with the drill thing.
I was thinking of doing a separate video on carrying a couple drill bits and how to mount them for use within a lightweight kit. Thanks for watching!
I remember making that there point! Thanks for the shout bro

I will see what I can come up with. Thanks for watching Tall Cedars!
Good video. Thanks.
One question though. How do you do flint and steel when steel isn't even invented yet?

I forgot to mention iron ferrite.
Oh yes, I think you even mentioned pyrite in the video. Must have ignored that for whatever reason.
Thanks!
