How to Make Stone Tools in a Survival Situation | Basic Instincts | WIRED

- If you're in the wilderness and have nothing, perhaps the most important thing you need is a sharp, durable edge. Humans are among the weakest species on the planet and tools are what help us compensate for that lack of strength. Dr. Bill Schindler, a professor of archeology and anthropology at Washington College, explains how to construct some primitive stone tools that could be useful in a survival situation.

"This is an entirely predictable process"
*Camera pans to show fresh cuts on his hands*
Yes. As an electrician and hobby machinist, I too predict that you will get cut when you play with sharp things.
Oh, I cook, too...
In the wilderness this is standard, everything will cut or bruise your skin in some way, until it gets hard enough
And? It’s still predictable.
"We need tools to survive"

“Watch our this edge is razor sharp”
*proceeds to shave stick towards self*
He cut his finger it looks sharp he probably didn’t want to put to much pressure and cut his hand open he said it was razor sharp
An unhafted edge is easier to pull than push. Poor hand position for sure.
I'm a butcher of 25 years. I tell new employees not to cut towards themselves while doing it myself. I have the skill to do it and they don't.
When you're experienced with blades and sharp rocks like this guy then that's less of a worry.

I have to admit, I was expecting a bunch of BS, but you did a pretty good job of covering this topic concisely and fairly completely. l would have watched longer. People think stone tools are useless, and most archeologists I've seen even downplay how effective they can be. You are the first one I've seen mention splitting wood, which is one essential component of fire-making kits. Well done, WIRED, well done.
so do you have any idea how to make axe ?
@@thepcfd he showed how in the video lol
Depends on the type of axe. Celts(pronounced selt instead of Kelt) were typically ground down via taking a piece of stone and grinding it against another, larger rock, though knapped celts weren't unheard of. Hand axes were typically knapped, though.@@thepcfd
As a minecrafter, stone tools are NOT useless.
Stefan Milo has a lot of great videos about early tools, if you're interested in learning more check him out
me: ha ha dumb caveman with the brain the size of my fist!
caveman: you need a homogeneous, brittle, elastic, isotropic stone such as flint, quartzite, or obsidian to make a hertzian cone
me: ...
Early humans were smarter than we give them credit for. They knew how to locate high quality stone and make tools with them that would take 50-70 steps at times. That takes real forward and abstract thinking to do.
@@reecetaylor2626 I agree that it's impressive but I think it actually requires no abstract thinking.
Find stone
Hit other stone
See how well stone hit
Look where you found stone

It's amazing how far you can get if you just do stuff and experiment a lot.

Am I supposed to laugh that joke makes no sense
6:35 Dude cut up his hand pretty hard doing this
Pretty hard? There was a speck of blood.
Pretty hard for me
2021 a small skin cut = deep flesh wound
when I used to make arrowheads out of obsidian, my left hand was a patchwork of razor thin cuts. they barely hurt though because of how sharp the obsidian was. But it made working on the stone very difficult as my hands and the stone would get slippery with all the blood. A week later, the cuts vanish without a trace.
Tiny cut that heals in 2 days...

People really underestimate well, people. Some hiker killed a cougar with his bare hands when it was attacking him as he was hiking.
The thing is, people don't usually do that. The hiker was probably one of theose people who experienced hysterical strength. (Other examples include parents lifting cars to save children, etc) The sudden burst of adrenaline in response to life-or-death situations can give people super strength or endurance. However, these cases are the Exception. Normal, calm, everyday people cannot lift vehicles or fight wild animals like that, which is why is is not counted among our abilities :)

Thank you professor. I remember in sixth grade. Our class learned how to do these things, but I’d forgotten. Then I told my mom that these are the things that I should learn in girls scouting not just selling cookies. Well, she told my scout leader, and then in camp we learned how to make a fire with the bow method. And we learn how to make an arrowhead.

Strip the inner bark of willow trees, brew it into a tea. It contains similar compounds to advil. You can also do this with willow leaves, though it's less effective.
Crazy that 3.5 million years ago they figured out using rock slices but it took another million and a half years to make designed tools out of that

And then stab them

It's also neat that when you get into the neolithic, you see less flaked stone tools and more ground ones. If it needs to be really sharp or can be disposable, it's more likely to knapped or flaked, (fine cutting tools, projectile points, etc) but tools that have to last, rely on structural strength, and don't need to be razor sharp (primarily axes, adzes, etc) were often ground into shape. It was far more time consuming that chipping it out, but gave a much sturdier piece of hardware.

Actually, a lot of cavemen were more inteligent than you are.
@Warspite they were more intelligent, we are smarter but they knew what rock to use to bang a certain rock. do you know how to take down a buffalo with only stone age tools?
There’s a difference between being intelligent and being knowledgeable. They could know way more than any of use about wildlife survival but still be dumb as rocks.

now: to make a stone axe you need a perfect stone, tilted by an angle of 70 degrees, one edge has to be sharper than the other ...

It’s to make it as best at survival as possible
@@aquaneutral ah, i see you're a man of culture aswell
well, i mean you could knap a stone, but you need certain types of stone to do that. This is just a video meant to help someone with literally no tool making experience to grab a rock and have a chance in the forest.
Three cobblestones on top, two sticks at bottom, that gives you a pickaxe
Two cobblestones at top, one stick at bottom, that gives you a sword.
One cobblestone at top and two sticks on bottom, that's a shovel.
Three cobblestones on the top left hand side corner, two sticks at bottom, that's an axe.
That's all:)
in fact humans are really good at running long distance for a long time and working in groups which makes us extremely powerful even at the stone age

Modified stone tools, as well as our ability to cooperate, retain knowledge, and hunt prey for long distances are imo what allowed early hominids to travel and survive all across the globe, its so amazing to think of our ancestors discovering these tools, and then teaching them to their kids etc etc.
