I've been watching a lot of your videos and I just want to say thank you for the lessons on how our ancestors did things, the knowledge of their tool making is beyond priceless.
Will Lord is far and away the best trainer/presenter of primitive skills. We have a lot of great guys in the US .... Paleomanjim, Jack Crafty, etc. but Will provides such a good Paleo, Meso, Neo European approach to lithic technology and lifestyle that until now I have been pretty much ignorant in. Thank you.
This is completely mesmerising, fascinating to behold and a sheer joy to just sit back and enlighten the mind. Thank you so much for sharing Will. This is given me just the inspiration needed to try this myself.
SiksikaOutdoors Thank you so much for all your kind words brother, I really appreciate that you chose to take the time and place such kind comments Cheers
You seem like a good dude. Wish we could hang out think up some things. You fish . An trap hunt .your pleasant to listen to takes my mind off every day life your really cool man keep um coming.
really amazing video but you know what struck me the most, when you where fashioning the point of the arrow shaft, i know thy say flit tools were pretty much as good as modern knives, but watching you actually use the same types of cuts with a piece of flint that i would make with a knife was just surreal
Hello Will, Jason from the US again. These mesolithic arrows seem like the top of the line lithic technology. They would be a very efficient use of material and would require less skill (I think) to create than an arrow using a bifacial arrowhead. Ultimately I guess I wonder why ancient man ever switched to bifacial technology? Surely a bifacial arrowhead can't be that much more efficient than a mesolithic arrow. Particularly once you add in the skill required to make a bifacial arrowhead. Ok, lol, thanks
Why didn't you straighten the arrow? It didn't seem completely straight at the end. I find if you leave a hazel wand that size for a day or two you can straighten it without heating it.

Thanks WILL for that bit of knowledge. Super short range, perfect shot.

Superb work Will thanks for sharing this and all you post here....
this is cool, neat history lesson that could be applied to modern archery
That was really awesome! I am going to try making one myself.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Great video. Learned a lot from this one. TC - Stan

how do they fly? video? awesome videos
thats so cool now i only need to find some flint lol
i wonder how they practiced shooting those without breaking them, or if they practiced at all i dont know

yes
Do you usually store the Hazel after debarking?
30k views! Nice!
Be nice to see your arrows in flight...real shooting vids
I doubt that such arrows have much at all in the way of straight flight. Might reliably hit a man, someplace on his torso, at 20m.
can't believe you didn't shoot it on video lol
I made similar with woodprix instructions :)
glue video
First dislike…just cause
