You know, only a small handful of people have a brain as powerful as this writer. Thankfully the Web lets us see their work.

With all the interest in survival skills I'm curious how many have taken up flint knapping? I've been doing it for 40 years never thinking of it as a survival skill but just as a hobby that I love to do. For someone trying to develope or gain skills I would think that would be a must have. These were all made with stone, bone or antler all found on the ranch. Bone works well for pressure flaking but I prefer antler plus the base of the antler make great billets. Making bows arrows and atlatl's are pretty simple and all can be made using flint. Broken glass is another very usefull tool, it very knapable.

Nothing says ‘post apocalyptic’ quite like making arrowheads out of printed circuit board. :-)

That is a VICTORY SIGN! The hippies hijacked that years ago to mean something it does not!

Just in case no one knows, rosin core solder used real rosin. The pine tree shown produces great flux. I have white pine around my shop and have used the sap (reduced with alcohol) to silver solder for years.
