I show how hunter-gatherers would attach a bone to a wooden spear using pine pitch composed of bees wax, pine sap, and charcoal. I then wrap it with elk sinew from the back of the animal to create a very strong bond. Once dry, sinew turns rock hard! The bone was made by Jay Valente as a replica from a museum from Connecticut depicting a Native American scene. It was ground by hand using flint and sandstone.

The hand made stone axe is ground rare pink granite. This would have been used to crush shells, finish animals or fish or caveman chopping of wood.

I cut the spear pole with a hand made stone axe and remove the bark using a stone knife.

I use the mullein plant stock (a large weed) for the hand drill combined with a poplar hearth board. I carved the notch with a flat stone I found on the spot in the forest. Other tools like the flint was send to me by Jay of Vision Quest Outdoors.

The fish basket was made by live dogwood weaved to hold the fish at the proper height. It was mounted with two v-shape sticks found in the woods.

This is re-wilding, back to nature, nature reconnect or “forest bathing” if you prefer!

This is how you use the entire animal!

Earlier people would certainly have done this style of catch and cook over open fire.
