Atlatls are a primitive dart or spear-throwing device. Some states still allow you to hunt with them. Here's how to make a primitive version for survival situations.
Hello sir I'm from foxfire in northeast georgia and I was wondering if you would like to be interviewed on the crafting of an atalatl as well as the history and skill behind or if you'd prefer to make a video on the steps and skills required to make the atalatl. Thank you sir
And people who are very well trained with these are pretty crazy and obviously our ancestors were extremely good with them as they had to be to survive
In science (and in my patrol skills training), it is taught that technology is confused with mechanization, technology is how an organism applies oneself to something (like a wood pigeon building a nest fit for purpose, able to withstand a storm as long as the tree does, how the bird applies oneself to the stick), not the 'object' that the organism is using. Hunter-gatherers still exist as well, city-folk don't seem to know that they still exist, they just believe in the stigma that it is "primitive".
Much better than guys using 10k pieces of equipment to make one. When someone wants to learn to make an atlatl they want to know how to make a primitive one.
Stone age sniper rifle... Don't quite have the range but will kill just the same... A truly deadly weapon... Our stone age forefathers weren't as simple as once thought..
@@Christians_outdoorswe have pretty much the same intelligence, the main difference between prehistoric humans and modern humans is environment. Prehistoric humans were forced to adapt and use their natural ingenuity in order to survive. Modern humans have the same intelligence and natural ingenuity, we simply aren’t forced to use it to survive, as we live in an environment that is able accommodate and support us.
Excellent video. I especially liked the description of the contact points between the spear and the "hand-retained" portion. It's also nice that you were able to say everything and just a few minutes.
Schrade Uncle Henry... Great knife that dont cost very much.. It's designed as a Skinner but is quite versatile with the exception of bushcraft.. Tho it can be used as such in a pinch.. Many better options out there for a versatile bush knife... Try a K-Bar Becker for outdoor use.. It's the best overall outdoor knife currently in the market that won't break the bank.. Recon Marines use it as standard issue..
Vary nice. Simple, and leaves the viewer with imagination on what it could be. This is an older video, but stay tuned, I'm gonna make a 50lb one with a duel elbow ridge. I'm going for a 250mph speed. Math is fun.
Is that a SCHRADE UNCLE HENRY GOLDEN SPIKE KNIFE?...( UH135)? vintage stock of those are good money now...I looove mine!...uhhm no...watched vid twice....wrong handle material I think,..but anyways awesome work on that atlatl..super cool vid!!!.thanks‼️🏁
Ацтеки епта а сделать ложбинку вместо шипа надсадного не судьба видно было, ловить нок в отверстие проще чем тонкое копьё насаживать на херовинку соразмерную копью ...
@@Reg34567 сегодня этот фильм посмотрел😂 я был поражён что это довольно практичное оружие, теперь вот буду делать живу в пригороде поэтому в изготовлении проблем возникнуть не должно 👌
@@edellweisi Удачи! Тоже удивился, насколько простое и полезное оружие, сравномо с пращей. Особенно в первобытных условиях, например, если заблудился в лесу, как недавно пара спасалась от Медведей, когда их машина застряла в глуши. И намного проще в изготовлении и практичнее, чем популярный лук..
If you look closely there is a button near the play button in the shape of a speaker, you can click that to mute the video, also if you keep looking you'll find that no one cares about your opinion on the music or any of your preferences. Good luck!
