Making Do: Volume Two

Ever wonder whether you have what it takes to survive in the wild? In this video production from Paladin Press, primitive skills expert Jason Hawk teaches you how to take stone materials, discarded glass and found metals and, with a little know-how and effort, turn them into life-saving tools and weapons. Hawk begins in the Stone Age by showing you how to select, knap and flake rocks and glass into cutting instruments suitable for any survival situation requiring a sharp edge. From there he moves to the Iron Age, making arrowheads strong enough to punch through a deer and hide scrapers that will help you clean your kill. Focusing on practicality for both the field and on the street, he then teaches you how to make the Filipino Fork, a spiked fistload that would make any opponent stop in his tracks. Finally, he shows shiv-making: brutal, puncturing weapons from everyday materials that have been strengthened and honed into a sharp spike. This video includes a guest appearance by best-selling Paladin author Christopher J. Petrilli, who teaches a variety of combat applications for the weapons you can create.
