"Professional Caveman" Donny Dust on Dogs, Stone Tools, Survival, and how to be Human | DIH #3

Donny Dust has been a solid mentor the last few years. Since his TikTok exploded, it's been ironic to watch my caveman sensei(?) amass over 10 million followers on TikTok. All 10mil of whom....in 2023, watch him make stone tools everyday. Here's us chatting about dogs, rocks, prehistory, and how his time as USMC Counterintelligence kinda made him an applied anthropologist, survivalist, and educator. But mostly about the things mentioned in the title. You can find his books and classes on his website: https://www.donnydust.com/ Timecodes 0:00 Intro and catching up 07:23 What is Military Intelligence? 09:58 Overt, Covert, Clandestine 11:56 After the service? 15:35 Widow-Maker Heart Attack 20:45 How the Woods are a Reset 21:38 Dogs in the Woods 24:04 What do Dogs mean to you? 25:59 Encountering Moose and Safety Tips 30:07 Have you ever seen a wolf? 32:18 Encountering Cryptids? / Bigfoot 34:15 "Pattern of Life" 36:03 Firearms / Mountainmen 38:44 Craziest Experience/ encounter 39:50 Surviving in the Amazon 42:00 Gathering Local Intel for Survival Tips 43:01 Fungi 44:61 Go-to Meal When in the Woods? 47:48 Survival Mistakes 48:00 T.O.W.E.R.S. 51:00 Deciduous vs. Pine 55:46 DONNY'S BOOKS 57:11 Stone Tools 1:02:00 Artifact Identification 1:06:00 Spirituality 1:08:00 How was Fire Invented? 1:10:00 Did Hominins have Speech? 1:13:00 Teachers 1:22:00 TikTok success and Advice 1:27:00 Your son managed your TikTok?? 1:29:00 Video Games as Communication 1:33:00 Alone the Beast 1:36:00 What does it mean to be Human? 1:38:00 RESCUE Podcast
