Hi Shawn! I was surprised and honored when I reached the end of your latest video here. As you can see, I enjoy your channel immensely and have a tremendous respect and admiration for the work you do and the manner in which you do it. Your videos have been outstanding in every respect, from first to most recent. They are extremely informative and educational for folks who want to learn the mechanics of bushcraft and primitive technology, as well as presenting a good dose of the fascinating history behind the projects, tools and techniques you illustrate. I've always considered myself a competent and skilled woodsman and survivalist, but I have learned a great deal from your channel and have a ton of respect for your superior skill and expertise in this arena and your unselfish desire to share your passion and knowledge with the world. Hope to meet you personally someday soon. Until then, I tip my hat and say "Keep 'em coming brother!" And thank you again for the shout out. I'm humbled.
+David Smith Thanks David. You have really allowed me to reach a far greater audience with your features. Some videos jump by over 6000 views on the day you publish your stories. I recently began following your work and I enjoy learning from you as well. Hopefully sometime soon our paths will cross. Thanks Shawn
I found Shawn's channel from the mousetrap Monday series, but these type of videos of his are my favorite. It's all so intriguing I can't stop watching.
In a few thousand years, archeologists will be excavating at your house, find all of these ancient tools, among your PC and modern artifacts, and have trouble explaining it...seriously...your Oetzi tool videos are absolutely fascinating and very well done...thank you Shawn! I am on the cusp of buying some merch to support your work with not only this recreated Oetzi equipment, but also mouse traps!
Wow, I have a Juniper stave drying in my bedroom, the bark was going to be use for fire starting, but now I have to try this! Thanks Shawn for sharing.
This was a great video in combination with making an Otzi flint dagger, for some reason this scabbard clip was not included in the Otzi playlist making it a little harder to find, Many thanks for posting.
I very much enjoyed both of your videos on Otzi's knife and scabbard. You have skills. If I could make one I would but I'm not as skilled as you in this area. Very good videos and I thank you.
Great Shawn...loved it. It is a good thing for your viewers that you take the time to do it right and you do that very well. I really enjoyed. Once upon a time guys like us had to watch public tv to see anything concerning primitive people and their culture and it was never complete, only touching the surface. Its also great that we can share our passion and knowledge on RUclips
I have just found your channel, but as a long-time bushcrafter, I have to say how impressive your work is. I will direct as many people as I can to your site to learn some of these skills. I would love to be as adept at making cordage and flintknapping as you! You should also think about writing down so many of these pieces of information to create a book; I'd certainly buy several copies.
Awesome, man! I really loved watching all this come together. I have a ton of cedar where I live too, so I'm definitely gonna give this a try. Thanks for sharing, this was very cool!!
Very cool well done and very informative thank you for sharing . I think your interest and zeal to accomplish the manufacturing process must be a gift and I'm pretty sure your right on about all episodes I have watched. I will watch them all and undoubtably more than once again thanks
This is amazing!!!!! I have just stumbles across your videos and am binge watching while my daughter is at school! Guess what we are doing this weekend!!!!!!!?????? Watch your videos and try to recreate bits and sections...... thank you!
Great video, i enjoyed it a lot. You just made the life of Otzi, which i read about in a bow building book a lot more interesting. One of the things they did talk about a lot in that book was the bow that he had, and they also had instructions on how to make a replica of that bow. That will be one of my summer projects, as i enjoy archery in its basic form. a Plain bow with no fancy attachments. To that end i got a nice longbow, made using modern glues used to laminate several wood layers and horn on the tips. But it looks and shoots great. She is however a miserable old cow when it comes to slapping the daylight out of my forearm, (45 lb does sting), but i got that sorted out now.
After watching this and various other videos you have posted I have to subscribe. I love primitive technologies, and you definitely have a great interest in them as well. Not only do you show the methods in the making but explain the history as well which everyone can benefit from.
I think the knife was as large as it gets. If the knife was much larger, it would not have fitted the scabbard as well as it does. And I like your step by step videos. They are well filmed and you explain what you are doing quite well.
I'm at this moment with a large yucca leaf for cordage and several stones. i've spent the day, whilst gathering the materials pondering on what to make with them, and i think i'm going to try the dagger and scabbard, see how well i can replicate it.
“Otzi lived in a violent time and this knife may have been used to fend off attackers” well I would gladly swap places because these days that knife won’t fend off anyone
Hello shawn wood would you pls show me that how to find a flint-rock so i can try to find one of them and try a flintknapping tips for my Flint tools, anyway i do absolutely love your Flint tools videos i like your video, and i kind of wanna try do a flintknapping challenge for my self!!!!!!????
I believe it's obvious but could I use the same technique to make a fish trap basket thing but just on a much bigger scale would the fibers used hold up well enough?
I bet the blade was much longer as I think it sits too deep in the sheath. You probably surmised correctly that it had been shortened considerably with time as Otzi reworked the edge to sharpen it. I wonder how long it was at the start and maybe you should make a hypothetical original blade.
Great work, man. How in heavens did you reconstruct all that weaving technique? One learn a lot about early man from these techniques. You gained one more subscriber.

+Shawn Woods been listening to you for over a year, you sir are my hero
Thank you for recreating Otzi tools and weapons. Amazing work.

I absolutely love that shell lamp!
Another great video by our friend Shawn.
Wow, I have a Juniper stave drying in my bedroom, the bark was going to be use for fire starting, but now I have to try this! Thanks Shawn for sharing.
Why is this so satisfying to watch tho like it’s so cool and I’ve watched it over and over again
This was a great video in combination with making an Otzi flint dagger, for some reason this scabbard clip was not included in the Otzi playlist making it a little harder to find, Many thanks for posting.
Just found your site exactly what I was wanting ,explain things very well T
hank You Sir
you should show how to make otzi's grass mat
The talent that some people possess just blows my mind.
I very much enjoyed both of your videos on Otzi's knife and scabbard. You have skills. If I could make one I would but I'm not as skilled as you in this area. Very good videos and I thank you.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Fantastic video. Awesome project.

You're an amazing craftsman.....or perhaps more of an artist and a sculptor. I really like what ive seen and I can't wait to watch more.
Love the video, you vids are always far more entertaining and educational than the actual documentaries on the subject
Awesome, man! I really loved watching all this come together. I have a ton of cedar where I live too, so I'm definitely gonna give this a try. Thanks for sharing, this was very cool!!
Very cool video. Thank you for what you do.
and thank you for making all these awesome videos.We really appreciate it!
Outstanding video.
You show so much detail and the video quality is perfect 👌
Just fantastic work, congrats.
I just found you channel recently and love it. I am a huge history fan and love learning primitive living. Thank you and keep it up.
Very cool well done and very informative thank you for sharing . I think your interest and zeal to accomplish the manufacturing process must be a gift and I'm pretty sure your right on about all episodes I have watched. I will watch them all and undoubtably more than once again thanks

shawn youre awsome
Belíssimo trabalho! Uma peça única! Parabens!
Great job! One piece! Congratulations!
What a great video, Shawn. Has anyone heard any of the researchers speak about Otzi's language, if any ?
Pritty epic well done shawn
Awesome video!
You are amazing my friend. Keep em coming.
Great video, i enjoyed it a lot.

Superb from Scotland
Love your videos!!!
Very cool, Shawn!
This is amazing. I am a yarn crafter and I have not seen this before. It reminds me a little of sprang (?spelling).
excellent work...

Nice recreation
I think the knife was as large as it gets. If the knife was much larger, it would not have fitted the scabbard as well as it does.
And I like your step by step videos. They are well filmed and you explain what you are doing quite well.
Very good job. Thanks
Capo un saludo Desde Argentina Entre Rios
What did you actually for the smaller twine or string?
Buen trabajo.... me suscribo. Saludos
very nice!!!
Very cool Brother!
Nicely done
I attempted to make this and jacked it up! Weaving is not my thing.
great video
Wow, so interesting and inspirational. Keep up the good work!
I really admire you, Pal. Keep it up!
What did you make the small cordage with?
You need to make more videos like this
Really great job! Amazing work.
"Otzi the Nice Man"
I'm at this moment with a large yucca leaf for cordage and several stones.
i've spent the day, whilst gathering the materials pondering on what to make with them, and i think i'm going to try the dagger and scabbard, see how well i can replicate it.
amazing work!!!
Buenisimo el vídeo.
I love your channel. You have some awesome skill. Keep the awesome videos coming
I wonder if one make this on a larger scale,can it be a quiver?
“Otzi lived in a violent time and this knife may have been used to fend off attackers” well I would gladly swap places because these days that knife won’t fend off anyone
As a last resort I bet you it would. But regardless, Otzi was killed by ranged attack so your premise falls apart almost instantly
@@thewalruswasjason101 Your comment makes 100% no sense
Excelent work
Thank you! Do you know whether archeologists studied the knots that were present on the gear found at the site?
Otzi was the MAN
Parabéns pelo vídeo
Shawn, I made your rolling log trap and caught a mouse!!!
you have win my suscripcion
Shawn, do you see any issue if I were to just make 9 one-foot segments of cordage instead cutting like you did?
Very cool
Awesome!
I live in NC with not very much cedar around. Are there any possible alternatives to use in place of the cedar bark
Hello shawn wood would you pls show me that how to find a flint-rock so i can try to find one of them and try a flintknapping tips for my Flint tools, anyway i do absolutely love your Flint tools videos i like your video, and i kind of wanna try do a flintknapping challenge for my self!!!!!!????
another great vid!! and I will never get tired of saying really looking forward to the next one!!! I bet it will be awesome! good luck!
Snazzy.
I believe it's obvious but could I use the same technique to make a fish trap basket thing but just on a much bigger scale would the fibers used hold up well enough?
Ya me suscribo porque sos un cappo
I bet the blade was much longer as I think it sits too deep in the sheath. You probably surmised correctly that it had been shortened considerably with time as Otzi reworked the edge to sharpen it. I wonder how long it was at the start and maybe you should make a hypothetical original blade.
Awesomeness!!!!
is there anything you can use in place of leather
did otzi have a cout or snow shoes or gloves?
Great work, man. How in heavens did you reconstruct all that weaving technique?
One learn a lot about early man from these techniques. You gained one more subscriber.
The Last Neanderthal
Nice pic.
how do you find the flint
frickin awesome!!!
Did you make this because of my suggestion on it. In the last video
I hope the archaeologists and museum curators are watching!! LOL. it seems like some of them could benefit from it.
nice
