He is in QLD, so chances are he will have easier access to copper than iron.
Copper isn't that useful without the tin to make bronze

If anyone can take some rocks they found lying around, some mud, and some tree branches and transform it into a metal knife or axe using nothing but their own bare hands, that's badass.

I forgot to ever mention that that video is the first of a badass series. You've GOTTA watch it.
