This gentleman just skinned and quartered a deer carcass with a stone blade he made himself, anyone thinking they can advise him on how to do it better is a nutter.
I love keeping the muscle groups whole. We always eat the organs first (if your not worried about cholesterol) the chine-we keep the back strap with the upper spine. Wrap with the caul fat then cook next to the fire
This was absolutely fascinating. I'd have to say, watching you butcher the deer would convince me that your flint tool you made just might be more efficient than my knife. I can see where you'd get better feedback as you're cutting down against the bone not being far from your hand rather than being more separated from the process through the handle of a knife. Really quite extraordinary the sharpness of it. First time I've seen a Neolithic butchering... impresive!
Around 2012, back in the height of the "paleo" craze, I ate my meat raw for about 2 years, mostly killed by me (bison, goat, lamb, deer, moose, beef, all grassfed or wild), and my fish was bought sushi grade (salmon, tuna, wildcaught shellfish). All meat except for the fish was frozen for 30 days prior to consumption in an attempt to theoretically kill parasites. I know it sounds bonkers 😂😄, but I experienced a curious thing: my first time was with lamb cut into bite-size chunks, seasoned with lemon juice, basil leaves, olive oil & salt. I wasn't sure what to expect. I took a big chunk, put it in my mouth, started chewing and immediately started salivating in a way I'd never experienced. It was heaven. I wolfed that lamb down like a typical wild carnivore and made another batch which also went down the gullet quickly! This raised questions: is there something in raw meat that we crave without realizing it until we experience it for the first time? Is there a nutritional factor missing from cooked meat? Does the body want and do better with raw animal fats, perhaps? -fats that are not denatured through cross-linking when heated? Anyway, I got busier with life and the time & effort required to hunt/slaughter and butcher my own meat became untenable. It was a cool experience though and I became a legend at work 😄
I've noticed when skinning rabbits that if you skin them while they are still warm, the skins come off like a sock but if you skin them when they have gone cold it's a lot more difficult and the skin is a lot harder to separate from the body.
Really interesting Will! This also explains how cave paintings of deer and other animals are so accurate, the artists knew their subjects with an intimate knowledge inside and out. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Will, Excellent and very educational with the skinning of the hide. The background music was great kinda takes your mind back to the time period. I bet that venison roasted over the open fire in that awesome place you have is very relaxing experience! I know it would put me to sleep. Great job friend and take care see ya on your next adventure 👍
Perfect tool for the job! Gliding through lovely. I’d love to see how hair is removed from a hide. Perhaps it’ll be part of the trouser making process… Cheers Will, all the best
Wow.. learnt so much from this 🤯 it’s amazing what flint can do. This is what we did so long ago and your bringing it back to us. Showing us the primal human and respectful way how we lived. What a beautiful animal.
A video that would be absolutely fascinating would be making Stone Age clothing using stone tools. Especially clothing for the cold. I barely see any videos on this topic and I’ve searched everywhere. I think many other people would love a video on this.
Hi Will, 😊 great bit of butchery mate, even whith a modern steel blade you'd be hard pushed to do a better job, it just goes to show how we underestimate the efficiency of stone age tools when used in skilled hands. I guess your having venison for Xmas, yum,yum. Thanks for another great video mate stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Greetings Will, we met you a few years ago in Canterbury, me the butcher and my son the boat builder chippy , I think your butchering skills are better than mine, keep your great videos coming, thanks mate.
Amazing. I mean, absolutely amazing. To see back to a way that is all of our history - where we came from. Using nature (flint) to prepare nature (deer) with bare hands. I try to imagine what life was like for our ancestors and there it is!
I can imagine a small band of hunter-gatherers, in the depth of winter, having killed a deer or a boar and maybe having to butcher it in the snow to feed themselves and their little children. Making the most of every scrap and wasting almost nothing; the meat for food with whatever is growing in the locality, the bones for tools or implements, the hides for clothing, the fats for other things. We all have that in our history, our DNA.
Great video Will , that's a lovely looking , healthy animal you have there. Don't forget to rescue the back strap sinews, they have some wonderfully fine fibers that are ideal for binding fletchings .
Watching you use that flint flake, makes me wonder if that was the inspiration for the ulu knife! Certainly, they both seem better suited to skinning and fleshing than a conventional knife.
I hunted for about 30 years and had a chance to clean a number of deer and rabbits and squirrels and ducks and things. Dressing out a deer and carving it up is no easy task but if you’re going to eat wild game you find out how to dress it out. Having done a little bit of flint knapping I can attest to how sharp it is. It’s an excellent knife with just a little bit of work to get one.
You should see the video of this guy going up against ex army captain Ed Stafford. Absolutely brilliant. The video is to see you is better at survival and tracking there way out of unknown territory
My "Lord" you live my dream ,what you are doing is in my heart and dna ,bless you for giving voice to our ancestors (i have my secret heave in an undisclosed place which i adversarily occupied and claimed )Thank you for the teachings you give ,may the spirits always guide you on your Journey here on Midgardhr .Blessed be )O(
Brilliant, 'let me be clear, I'm not interested' love it... the background music just makes it for me, so fitting, grounding and I felt some connection with nature at one point, stronger than ever, where do you get that music, or did you create that too?
it's probably fifteen or twenty years since I first met you Will, you'd probably not remember me but I certainly do remember you, your dad and your dear old ma. I bumped into your folks at Cresswell crags once, randomly, not long after doing a flint knapping course with Joe at WSS ran by your dad. the time when your dear old ma was trying to entice a mouse out of a tree stump with some biscuit, camera at the ready! I've told you this story before, I think you may remember that! anyway, the one thing I really like is your no nonsense attitude to the inevitable people that will try to tell you how to do something better, etc and there is a time and a place for it; if you were building an aircraft for passenger air travel I'd expect you'd take that advice on board but when you are peeling yet another deer, something you've clearly done many times, and people are trying to remind you to do this and do that and blah blah blah, I can see how it would get tiresome. inevitably, it was gonna happen and only a cursory flick down the comments and I can see it all ready! I've peeled a few deer, but only roe deer and nothing as big as that beast! I did scrape the hide down and salted it up to keep it from rotting with the intention of brain tanning at a later date but then I got divorced and the hides probably went in the bin along with a lot of other stuff that I would have liked to have back, but you know how it goes!
How would stone age man store the cuts of meat? Salt it, smoke it and wrapping in clean fresh leaves? Ps I'd imagine you will stick them in the freezer now for later!?
Anyone who enjoys meat should get out and attend a class to learn how to butcher as a matter of respect to the animal that provides sustenance. Great Vid Will Thankyou.
Just wanna say you have the loveliest English accent idk what region this dialect is from but it's the most soothing I've heard not rough like Jason Statham not annoying like James Corden

Your videos feel like the tribe elder teaching the new hunters.
Oh, please keep posting.
Show the tanning of the hide too, please.
That little hand blade was so efficient of a blade shape .

I wonder if that might be part of the idea behind the Inuit Ulu and other similar all purpose knives.
@@Earthenfist Very well could be. It blew me away how efficient the flint was though!
Not "gorey". Educational and informative, ty. I've subscribed.
It's a beautiful thing to see the stone in action,so sharp.

Wonderful brother thank you, all with a piece of simply knapped flint, amazing
Venison back straps are probably my favorite cut of meat of the whole animal

Nice to see this after watching Clay Hayes processing an elk a few weeks back, good stuff.
the music gave Empire Earth feels, well picked!
It's incredible how well that knife worked out. Those backstraps look delicious!
Nothing quite like slicing flesh with stone. So natural!

Brilliant Will! Amazing job!
Loved the visuals and audio. The music was perfect. Would love to have it as a separate track for studying.
Very nice Will, you do great work. I love the traditional butchering.

Nifty cooling show.
So interesting channel. Good luck !
You are badass dude. Thanks for the education.
Looking forward even more to the course having watched this! You have the right sort of friends who ring up offering whole deer!!😂
Absolutely awesome video my friend. Hi from northern USA just got done with our deer hunt.
another lesson for my new future
Great video Will , that's a lovely looking , healthy animal you have there.
Don't forget to rescue the back strap sinews, they have some wonderfully fine fibers that are ideal for binding fletchings .
if you did a whole series on how you use the deer, i will watch
This video was great, I kept guessing where the next cut was going to be, I wasn't too far off with my guesses.
Tht was cool! We love you Will in the US! I want some of that Will Lord stew!
Its like going back in time to see how men used to live... fantastic.
Considering the lack of space you have and that you were using nothing but a piece of flint that was a job well done. 🥩🥩🥩🥩
I killed a big 8 Point Buck in Ohio a few days ago and the meat filled my freezer. So you just got another Subscriber. Nice to meet you, Mate!
fantastic comment about keep your way to yourself. You have your way and method it works for you and that is all that matters
Great content , keep it up Will !
Wonderful lesson and a beautiful hide. Thank you for sharing ur wisdom and experience. ♥
great video sir, cheers
You can't beat backstrap dunked in egg and milk mixture then in flour and seasonings then fry it. Good stuff

Love the content. Thanks for all the great information. Hope your story is going well too
Super interesting and informative! Thanks, Will!
2016 Me: I will never need to learn this.
2023 Me: I will need to learn this! Lol
😂😎😜
Brilliant, 'let me be clear, I'm not interested' love it... the background music just makes it for me, so fitting, grounding and I felt some connection with nature at one point, stronger than ever, where do you get that music, or did you create that too?
Thanks for your comment bud my dads a great musician and he made the music for me
@@WillLordPrehistoricSurvivaloh wow , Is there a way I can get my hands on some
Ps I'll be trying my first bit of what I'll call flint bashing for now, I'd love to listen to that while I try
Are you going to preserve the meat? I’d love to see that process 🤩
many blessings
This is real cool everyone should see this and learn

Great video
Damn ! I spent $100 on a steel knife, and i could have used a rock ! Nice work my English cousin !
So very well done Will, let's people see where meat comes from!
More of the same please
That was ACE Will, Thanks... The old folk must have dried & smoked & maybe cold stored their meat in the ground, Cos there is so much, ACE...
I was hoping you was going to show some of it cooked Will so we could have smelly vision 😂😂 could just eat some 🤘🤘
This was amazing
Will, was just wondering what type of deer did you harvest? Awesome video 😊
That's cool. Thanks mate cheers
Great video!
would love to see your tanning methods
Music please? I want to listen to it on loop so that I can drift off!
A grand job.
I will be your camera man for you if you like
Did you harvest the back sinew also? I'm very curious what that part is for making bow strings
Is that flint blade dishwasher safe ?
😂
Never having used flint I wonder how long it stays sharp?
Will, this was fantastic. Would love to know how long the process took in total
excellent - how come I cannot subscribe with the notification bell?
No idea why mate
Good stuff
How would stone age man store the cuts of meat? Salt it, smoke it and wrapping in clean fresh leaves?
Ps I'd imagine you will stick them in the freezer now for later!?
So what is your every day job?
Brilliant job skinning that deer flint in my view is still the best cutting tool 👍🏻👍🏻😊
What about the backstrap sinew?
every time i butcher meat i feel like crying
How do you preserve that amount of meat?
I assume you are not using a freezer.
Never mind then lol
Awsome
Nice
🤤🦌🥩 🔥 👍🏼
✌️🇩🇪
Anyone who enjoys meat should get out and attend a class to learn how to butcher as a matter of respect to the animal that provides sustenance. Great Vid Will Thankyou.
Just wanna say you have the loveliest English accent idk what region this dialect is from but it's the most soothing I've heard not rough like Jason Statham not annoying like James Corden
круто! это вам не стейк купить в супермаркете!))
great video
