Going Native (or crazy)

[Kentucky point]

I have been making more stuff, and clearing out more area's for my camp. By July, I want to have a fully functional camp with water, a garden, a knapping pit, a shelter, a fire pit and a cooking rack. I am slowly getting there. Here is some of the tools and ornaments that will be used. You have seen most of the stuff before.

Here's a family photo. From top to bottom, left to right: 6 foot Paleo spear, Hoe, Knife, Tie-on Bannerstone, Celt/axe, tiny Birdstone, Georgetown Dalton, Gorget, Flint-Ridge Adena, Gorget, Gorget, carved slate, Atlatl, and three arrows.


This is the hoe I will use to plant my garden


Some gorgets.





A four inch, Flint Ridge Adena.




A two and a half inch Dalton.

A neighbor with a good pocket knife, and more patience developed the atlatl for me. So far, I can throw a 6 ft. dart about 90 ft. It is made out of cedar. Now I have to make one.

Hey Ethan, That's a lot of cool items. I really like your plan to put together a camp. I will be watching for the developing camp.

Hey KP - Looks like you're exercising your knowledge and skill rather than going "crazy." Those are excellent examples and reproductions that you actually use. Nice going. Excellent post.

I love the idea of the camp . You need to get on a reality show .

Outstanding work Ethan. Your attention to detail and patience is a rare combination at your age. I really think you have a given talent. Stay with it. Your work is excellent.
