I'm not great at it but there are a lot of videos on YouTube to learn how. There is a book called "the art of flintknapping" by d.c. Waldorf that goes thru method and troubleshooting. Errett Callahan has many great pieces and guides. Anything you want to know specifically? |

I bought one of his books and thought it was terrible. Then I bought another of his books because it looked pretty good in the bookstore and it was just as shallow and inane and generally worthless. |

I know he's got tough feet. One of my arguments against "survival" shows is that survival should be luxurious. There is no need to 'escape' to civilization. We were born in the wilds after all. |

There is several times more thorium in the Earth's crust than Uranium. Also it's almost entirely the isotope you need for the reactor unlike Uranium which you need U235 to create critical mass and that only makes up around 3% of mined mass. Enriching Uranium is difficult and costly, and the reaction is hard to subdue. Thorium on the other hand won't have a chain reaction unless its in the presence of a neutron beam so No Meltdowns!! |

Liberal Logic: Demanding that the government stay out of your bedroom while insisting they pay for your birth control and abortions. The only way we will win, is by being more passionate about defending our liberties, than the other side is about taking them away. |

Quoting: Dr. Lecter The Jungle in the Bunny, the primal urge and instinct is part of what makes you what you are, part of what makes you a complete entity. Levels of complexity are added to the primal aspect through generations, but the primal acts as a foundation. It is part of what allows you to exist in this form and it is an essential universal characteristic. |
