@@theeddorianI like the throwing advice that seems pretty logical. I just wanted to demonstrate what it would look like. I just throw for funsies. Also as far as archeology goes, This may have been located in Nevada instead but the word Shasta sounds familiar. They found a atlatl in a layer underneath a Shasta ground sloth in a cave which I thought was pretty cool I wish it was dated to paleo times but turned out to be archaic in time

@@chrisking2796 thanks!

@@sheilbwright7649 Looks like I’ve just scratched the surface. That’s interesting

@@PaleoPassion One of the many sad things about colonialism in Australia is the rendering of a diverse group (some 900 distinct groups) into a singular "the Aborigines" To this day the right wing in Australia has a special interest in misinformation on anything to do with indigenous Australians to the extent that they even argue over the length of indigenous settlement. The last academic work I read placed it at 50,000 years but that may move backwards as our knowledge increases. With at least 50,000 years it may well pop up in your work. For accuracy and sensitivity beware of any generalisations in the sources you consult because I am certain you would like to be as accurate and sensitive as possible.

@@PaleoPassion Sorry if the last comes across as patronizing that wasn't intended. If I didn't respect your work I would have been unambiguously rude, very rude. I do rude well.

@@sheilbwright7649 Oh you’re fine. I live in the States and don’t have much background knowledge on Australia in general. I wanted to briefly introduce the Woomera in this video. I know it’s horrible how the indigenous peoples of Australia have been treated it’s the same situation as the United States Native Americans.

@@anthonyburke5656 Didn’t know that, that’s pretty cool!

Our mob hunted Dragons. Bunyips flat faced Roos and giant wombats. With glass tiped “spears and Woomera”. 80 thousand years ago.

@@richardmiller1345 I would love too, Australia is a crazy place but in a unique way y’all are built different haha

@richardmiller1345 loved your comment bra. We are all cousins. Some of us twice removed. What do y'all hunt?

I agree! Help the guy out with a longer comment. The suggestion algorithm likes longer comments. Lol

@@olg.__ thanks it fits the vibes

@@franckorphanos2998 great question, so our ancestors like our hominids and hominins here originated in Africa, there was lots of sun and would have been on the equator line. Light skin didn’t appear until human species migrated up north and far north there is a lack of vitamin D and this took thousands of years to happen. This is genetic mutation and This was the case for Neanderthals, experts think they were light skin and some had red hair

@@PaleoPassion I was thinking of the hairy ones. Most animals are white under fur . I do understand sun etc . And noses .

Pro tip in general, forget Bic's, Clipper's cost essentially the same, but are refillable, plus you can change the entire spark mechanism, or just the flint. What Bic's can be better at is the flatter shape and smaller size of the minis.

@@terrybrady1644 no thank you for watching

@@goyoelburro Heyo! Looks like we have something in common, I’m an anarchist dad myself! Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be checking out your content too when I get the spare time!

Hey I really appreciate this! I’ll cite some sources in the description! Next one is gonna be the Atlatl

Also, in the Promethean legend, he stole it from the forge of Hephaestus on Mount Olympus. He was punished for this by the gods. I think this is an allegory for someone capturing an ember from a volcanic mountain, then becoming ill from the toxic fumes he was exposed to.

Yes the prehistoric movie A Quest For Fire portrays this with hominids and other Native American cultures practice this too in some regions like the Pacific Northwest. Prometheus is a interesting story, it could be borrowed or influenced from an even older culture just like many other myths.

Just be yourself! I think you did a great job. Keep creating, I love learning this stuff

Bro you did a fine job just maybe try a less professional vocabulary it would fit really well

Heya, is that music from one of the elder scrolls games? Sounds familiar. Anyway, the music level is too high. Just a little bass-boost or high-pass filter on the mic would help too. Good video.

I agree. This video has fascinating and thorough info I was specifically looking for. But your tone was flat and bland. You sounded like you were reading from a script. (Of course, all narrators read from a script, but it is the interesting narrators that sound like they are winging it from memory.) Tex of the Black Pants Legion makes AMAZING documentaries. He will be a great mentor to follow. He's super generous with his wisdom so hit him up personally (BPL- Tex BPL <THEBlackPantsLegion@gmail.com>) and I'll bet he'll be delighted to help a new documentarian. I'll message him and let him know about you. Keep up the good work! I'll be watching more of your stuff for sure.

I think it’s fine

Thank you for watching!

Your knotch should go further in almost center, but not quite ya know bro

Thanks ya know surprisingly I do most of my hearth boards this style and the ember and dust will always fall out the notch just right

Lol yeah if you’re close by we should collab I’m up in Ohio

@@PaleoPassion Oregon

@@Johnhanddrill I think my next project is to build a raft and paddle towards you

@@PaleoPassion your funny bro 😎

@@PaleoPassion I’ll meet your way up north by the baffin islands

I was walking on my way to work lol and this tulip poplar wood was freshly cut down by landscapers, I asked if I could have some and they were like sure take as much as you want! I batoned it with a knife and whacked it down with a wooden mallet. This is the best way for a beginner to obtain a fire board. I’ve been wanting to work with tulip poplar for a while now and I saw the opportunity to take one that was down already and so now I will wait for the wood to dry

@@PaleoPassion nice! I'm trying to figure out how to split the stuff I have without steel, the pine has a nice crack in it I think I could get a wedge into by the cottonwood idk. I was thinking maybe if I sawed into the end with stone then stuck a wooden wedge in the end maybe I could get it done 🤔

@@user-tx6hz9ll8m yes I think you can! Also this fire board I made is for a bow drill which personally I like to make thicker in girth, and the hand drill boards thinner. But you can totally wedge and whack that wood to split Are you using pine or cottonwood for the fire board?

@@PaleoPassion I have both, so I was gonna make several!

@@user-tx6hz9ll8m heck yeah I’ve tried non residue pine and haven’t tried cottonwood but I hear cottonwood is one of the very best
