Thank you so much for going the extra mile to remove someone else's trash. It's such a shame some people have so little regard for the natural world. It is frustrating, but there are others out there who are fighting alongside you, if from afar. You made a difference to some wild creature, I'm sure.
That glassy greenish stuff is "slag" from the process of melting iron ore and was usually cast off for use as road bed material in the iron industry of PA.
Thank you for doing the right thing and picking up the litter . I collect chert in NE Ohio and am constantly picking up after trashy people who have no respect for nature. I have a pretty large collection of chert, flint, jasper and other minerals from around here if you're ever interested in trading.
There's hawks, there's falcons... and VULTURES!!!! Huge issue of mine is people littering in wild spaces. Damned ignorant. Thank you for leaving the area cleaner than you found it.
if you hate sand fleas or biting insects get some Avon Skin So Soft and rub it on your skin. Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes hate that stuff. You have to reapply it depending on how much you are sweating but putting it on is easier than digging a tick out or dealing with bites. A wide brimmed hat and some gloves are your friend when you are going out into the woods. lol Good hunting.
@@Wildernessquestoutdoors Was it at boot camp? Drill Instructors love having funerals for sand fleas if you kill one of their buddies while you should be standing at attention. After digging one 6 ft grave and having a funeral with "full" simulated honors for a sand flea, you end up just standing there letting them eat you.
Great video and good content, my approach is similar with cooking the healthiest foods and how to find the best naturally in the wild. I have never thought about flint before I saw this suggested video. I always hoped to have my fierrorod, matches, lighter but in these situations you really have to think of the unexpected so thank you
Onondaga chert is in nearly every limestone quarry in the region. More likely to find it in fresh gravel dumps than in stream beds. Found a bunch in one day.
Those look like wolf tracks. 3-1/2” x 5” is the size of a grey wolf, a timber wolf are a little smaller. No domestic dogs leave prints as big as an adult wolf.
You know you live in a fucked up world, when you walk by a river and you find trash laying all over the place, wire, plastic bag, beer and can containers. What's so fucking difficult to pick up the trash after you ??? I would understand if the trash was biodegradable, like paper, or pottery or non nylon fabric. I salute you my friend for picking up that trash !
I’m in Virginia and I have found flint that was black with a grey/white color on a corner of it and also I found rocks that feels just like flint but it was white like quarts and also I found a flint feeling rock that was extremely grey Smokey looking any idea what it is?
a lot of the natives on the east coast quarried for their knapping stone. maybe the further down it is the bigger and less fractured it might be? i’ll have to experiment
Great video i am learning knapping and i thought it was flint now learnt it is more specifically chert. I love nature walks. what more fun than to know how much is useable in your journey from nature than needing crap from the store to leave it in nature. Life isn't desposible, but an adventure in finding it.
4:41 We use to do stuff like that Playing War in the Woods when we were kids. Yeah, we Played Rough, we Played Hard🤪 We had the Whole Woods Boobie Trapped like Vietnam. The 70's were Awesome and the 80's were pretty Good too00OO^!!^

This was Great,I guess I'm not the only one looking for chert in upstate NY and I reconized a few places you were.I do know a few places to collect Esopus and Knauderack chert...
Your videos helped me find chert at my local creek for flint and steel. Thank you for the info and the video. It was a task at first finding chert that I was able to work with. Thank you sir! ;)
@@Wildernessquestoutdoors 😂 I feel ya. Can't really find much here either. I usually just get lucky with finding some dumped limestone along trails or under roadways
You know, limestone will desolve in water making carbonic acid but leaving the chert. I dont know how long it takes because it varies and you can get the chert out of likestone
U can use water , or buy "lime away". Or read the label and get the right acid..lime is burned..lime kiln..there's prolly Flint allready cooked an tossed aside..by the end of lime kiln road...
Thanks for cleaning that beach. I love that. The thorn tree you encountered is a black locust, or pseudo acacia. They are terrific sources of nectar for honey and the wood was used as handles for tools, you may want to incorporate it into your survival skills.

I'd tend to follow my own ancestors who did this exact thing back in Europe. It's in my blood, just as it's in Native American's blood. We all came from the stone age.

@@Wildernessquestoutdoors Yeah I tried many different spellings and got nowhere near that. : ) Thanks. Edit: I looked it up. So this is a fossilized sea bed mineral from hundreds of millions of years ago? It's interesting that you can find trilobites in it apparently.

Im enjoying your vids so much . Still , can i beg you to say Onondaga correctly ? I cringe every time i hear Ononda-gua . Sorry , cant help it . Its wonderful to watch you and youre giving people great lessons on NOT LITTERING . There really ARE so many selfish and clueless idiots out there .

Come up here to the Adirondacks, you will find a lot of flint and red garnet. One's good for sparking the other is good for sanding.
i never thought id hear somebody say "sniff it. sniff the rock 🪨"
Hahahaha sniff it.
Thanks for cleaning up after the animals. ; )
Np
I’m with ya bro. People pack it back out.
That one made me flip out because I literally just found a dead bird hanging from fishing line in a nest
thx 4 this i want to get into camping and i had no idea where to start

Really cool of you to remove the trash man. thanks for that.
Never a problem, I do it anytime I am out in the wild

I hope you have gotten more experience. The rock at 6.40 is an animal effigy rock. I saw 3 animal heads in it from the short time you filmed it
23:37 it looks quite glassy, but not crystal glassy. Were you able to make knap it?
duuude iv seen these vains in places aound here covered in moss i thought it was wet stone buy i remember the layers ill have a look soon .

Why is some chert OK and some chert not OK to use? What are you seeing?
some is weathered and damaged, not useable. It turns to dust when you hit it.
Vision Quest Outdoors Is chert found in layers of limestone rocks (RR ballast) useable ? What happens to raw chert when it is baked?
G Kess depends on the chert, some cooked chert turns colors and becomes easier to knap
