Art of Flintknapping: Crafting Tools and Arrowheads from Wilderness Stones

As a society, we often take for granted the technological advances that allow us to live our modern lives. But for many cultures throughout history, the ability to fashion tools from stone was a critical aspect of survival. Jay from Wilderness Quest Outdoors is passionate about reviving the ancient art and science of flintknapping, the process of shaping stone into functional tools such as arrowheads, spearpoints, and knives.

In this series of videos, we follow Jay on his travels as he searches for flint, quartz, and quartzite, materials that are well-suited for flintknapping due to their inherent properties. Along the way, he visits stunning natural landscapes, explores roadside attractions, and even braves the occasional smelly sulphur spring. But the true adventure lies in the process of transforming raw materials into functional tools, a task that requires not only physical skill, but also a deep understanding of the physics and chemistry at play.

Through his videos, Jay hopes to not only share his passion for flintknapping, but also to educate viewers about the history and cultural significance of this ancient art. In future episodes, we'll see Jay put his newly crafted tools to use as he hunts game in the wilderness, providing a glimpse into the practical applications of this timeless skill.

Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman or simply curious about the past, join Jay on his journey as he revives the art and science of flintknapping and brings it into the modern world.
