I like the way the commentary isn't in a patronising tone. Respect for people living in ways left behind by most of us only shows us what we have lost in our supposedly " advanced" ways of life . We're almost helpless!!!
It's humbling to watch him eke out a living but life is really hard for them. Ask the cameraman how long it actually took to start a fire..then moving around with each season and the man who has made this documentary doesn't tell you that they have to steal livestock every now and then just to survive..
The resourcefulness of hunter-gatherers has become very underrated and unfairly dismissed in our modern era. The hunter-gatherer lifestyle made pre-historic humans, as well as many modern humans today like these, incredibly self-sufficient survival specialists.
If you watch this video and don't end up appreciating the nature of these men, then you should really question your character ....totally relaxing watching them go by..
I'm a minute in and I already want to learn from them . But I'm female. Though I'm lean , skinny , have never had a manicure and keep my hair 30 mm short , they would never let someone impure join them... and I didn't want them to mess with their gods .
No stress. No tax to pay. No council tax. No electricity and gas bills. No processed food. No city. No crooks on the road. Just nature and you. That is real beauty in life.
yeah No tv No pizza No bath with clean water No Birthday Cakes No cars just walks through the mountains of miles and miles and through the storm when rain No more toilet papers No more clean water No more good clean bed that protects you from cold No more clean foods all have germs ... Man you really dont miss all of this ? i just hope you are a teenager if not and you are a married man has a children's Then you are just a man who running away from responsibilities over petty reasons
Sodgerel Nyamdawaa running away from Responsibilities lol you are a sheep you will defend a system that wishes to enslave you till your last breath of life very sad. -No clean water : they fucking filter it and besides you don’t need much water in the West ppl drink a lot because it’s fucking tap water. -No bath: they do smoke baths - walk hundreds of miles : humans were made to do this westerners act like it’s a big deal because our body is degenerating due to our sedentary lifestyle and the shoe. They grew up walking around barefoot this allowed them to strengthen the foot which allows them to activate their glutes via the fascia system. You can learn how to do exactly what they do by checking out Chong Xie RU-vid channel. Their feet are morphed differently then us westerners . They move using hyperarch mechanism subconsciously which allows them to move with such ease across rough terrain. -No more clean bed: We are suppose to sleep on the ground this why they have such good posture it’s best for your skeletal structure. -No more cakes: fuck that all that is fucking sugar it is unnatural and why ppl have so much inflammation and disease we need to eat foods in nature.
@@nuck- yeah no numbnuts. primitive bushcraft is using only tools that they have created from the bush "bush+craft" = bushcraft. see that isn't very hard. I ain't pissed because they're using modern equipment, I just think the original comment is wrong because they are in fact using modern processed equipment.
I am so honoured to have stayed at Ol Seki and been to Letilet's cave, even though he wasn't there that day. Fantastic video, I could hear the fire crackling - and felt I could even smell it!! Great photography and sound. 10/10!!
It seems like such a better life. Surrounded by community, in close contact with nature, wasting nothing, wanting little, ample leisure. And what beautiful clothes and jewelry!
@@carlostorres1144 I would if I could. But I'm an adult with no knowledge of the bush, no knowledge or skill with the tools and processes needed to survive, and with poor physical conditioning. I work in IT; all my skills are from another world and my survival skills involve navigating bearocracy, using computers, and writing and speaking in English. A life of nature and tight community without the disorienting tangle of modern society is something that appeals to me, but without being raised in a community of hunter-gatherers I have no hope of successfully integrating and living that lifestyle. Dicking around in the woods isn't the same as living a free life in the woods. My mom was homeless for several years and she's been miserable and in much poorer health since we've brought her back home to live with us, despite our best efforts to provide her somewhere safe and comfortable. I wonder about this sometimes. I know we've done the right thing because it was too dangerous for her to live outside in her vulnerable mental state due to the dangerous people around her, but she tells me about how much better she felt walking all day and living outside. Humans didn't evolve to live indoors all day staring at screens and sitting around and I think that's having a negative impact on our lives. But many of us weren't raised in the wild and won't be able to live in it any longer. I don't want to live homeless like my mother had; but I would like to have been born in a society that was nomadic like my ancestors. I think that way of life would have provided me with fulfillment and health in a way that my current modern lifestyle certainly doesn't.
Agree . For people like us who have no choice to born in agricultural industrial civilization and we want to try to live like them . I suggest we should gather simile people and who have knowledge in the wild survival . Also plus some modern industrial knowledge. And we discuss and get to know each other . And slowly achieve our goal !
Freedom is good but it always come with a cost and learning a lot about yourself. You might say it's same with our society right now but not really, here it's about doing decisions that are matter of living another day or dying, getting food or starving... when you are at street in our modern city you can get at least some money and buy cheap food or just get some charity but they have no chance they either go out and hunt or scavenge for resources or they will starve and it not just them if you are responsible for another human being probably your wife and kid out there it might be death decision for them too.
I've never met a Masai but they seem to be an intelligent, family oriented, hard working, friendly people. They appear to be highly skilled and consumately integrated into their environment. In many ways I'm envious of them, I'd love to be as in tune with my environment and able to not only survive but live well and prosper with nothing more than my skills, knowledge and abilities and a handful of simple tools. Seems to be a better life than the insane technology driven rat race we subject ourselves too today.
I lived in both lives ,modern and traditional life ! You can't imagine how far i missed my traditional life ! Modern life is over full of stress and over working hours ! I miss my traditional life😪
Miss my Kenyan traditional life like crazy! I miss the freedom of going honey hunting in the middle of the night 1 am and it's pitch dark, used to play in the fields, and learning from nature. Now in the UK raising kids and watching these stories together and giving them the insight😢. If you haven't gone through this then you cannot understand this world we are living on.
Yes, but God - there is a visibilty here, since over 30 years, a silent holy Face - is the same, I would say. One can photograph this silent Holy Face, I wrote now my second book (book on demand), and put 30 photos in this. I could not have made this in deep Africa; I am in South Germany.
From making the fire, the Meat grilling, the way the sword is passed around as they eat, harvesting the honey and herding the animals, I'm quite impressed by how meticulously he works. That's one guy who seems to be @ peace with nature.
A well organised society, sharing, music, rituals and unity. Those hunters never know what does it mean suicide and boring life? It's very interesting and worth noticing in them.
Im sitting in my room with debilitating symptoms of depression anxiety and medication withdrawal and addiction to pharmaceutical drugs and feel dead inside and hopeless to ever recover to feel hope again and this video gave me a feeling of living i have been unable to feel in months and enough motivation and energy to write down a short list of things i can do to get my life back in the right direction
Grew up like this when i was a kid. I use to hunt dig digs and gather. We wouldn't eat food for 14 days straight sometimes. It was tough life but when i look back at my past, it was best life.
@@wildgun95 Great civilisations, of the backbone of these people these tribes and groups are thousands upon thousands of years old. It is disrespectful to call them any less great than a european nation that made an empire of forced labour and suffering. We lives fruiting from the land, and had kingdoms too but do not disrespect the way of life of the tribe for they have outlasted everyone of those Kingdoms. From Benin to Mali & the Nubian Kingdom of Sudan. Nor even the likeness of ancient rome, None of them stand yet these nomads how most of Afrika has always lived do.
I am Maasai and had heard of dorobo but not seen them. For sure a lot similar to us but the hunting. We don't hunt but solely live on cattle. Great video.
The Kikuyu when they came to Mount Kenya had to buy land from Dorobo. We intermarried with them but we almost absorbed. Some of these plants we still use them to cure same diseases. It's in our history. Dorobo taught us Kikuyus a lot about the land.
what amazing and talented brotha!! I love these beautiful MELANINATED people!!! I am so proud to be a part of these MELANIN dripping beautiful people!!!!🖐🏽🖤💚❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What is striking is the quality of the the tools and dresses they are using...its primitive but so beautiful....reflects both great aesthetics and engineering at the fundamental level. I love Africa and its great folk arts. Its one of my passions. May God protect the still surviving paradises of Africa.
I'm a masaai but when watch this kind of documentaries it reminds me of who I am , and I hope I will make a movie about our lovely life one day . your welcome to join me
The things I picked up in this video.. (without dude talking in the bakround).. Constructed time use, Unspoken Respect, Haveing Patience, The care for a item that is given, Eternal faith is not forgotten, Studied tactics of the animals they appreciate n fear, and Critical thoughts before doing,... Much warriors live here.. this is a very good thing...
It's hilarious how people view groups like the Il Torobo as "simple" and "primitive" when they've mastered and have such extensive, sophisticated knowledge of the ecosystems they live in and how to live sustainably/responsibly within it. The same can't be said for "advanced" Western societies. When it all goes to shit these are the people that will survive
Trumblebee PRIMITIVE is not an insult. It means "prime" or first. Being called primitive should be considered a compliment because it means they've mastered the art of survival so well that they continue ancient traditions that still continue today. Unlike others who have to constantly develop drugs and gadgets to stay alive.
Kenny Sellers you haven't provided anything. And it's the other way around. Their knowledge and resources keep YOU alive. On their behalf I say... you're welcome.
I think we need to observe and take inspiration from the lifes of the remaining hunter-gatherer. We were hunter gatherer for much longer than farmer and now service employee. My philosophy is what I Call Primo-futurism meaning taking inspiration and consideration from our primal nature to make new technology to build a future that is more adapted to us.
I can't get enough of this. Very respectable human beings. Nature defines, them only kill for food. Very happy families, responsibilities shared with no conflict. Money not the disagreeing factor in the family. Don't need what they don't use. Wealth defined only by nature ie Number of animals, kids and may be wives.
"and They all share,smile,eat and sleep in Peace...and They are Not trying to control anyone else,or put other people down or calling other people's ugly names...just Loving and respecting and minding their own business.
My homeland ♥️♥️♥️♥️, am currently in South Africa and miss home.... East Africa is the best when it comes to nature and melting pot of Cushites, Nilotes and Bantus♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@georgeikinya2779 I used to be a Muslim, then I became an arrogant atheist... Then.... When critical thinking touched me. ... I became agnostics.... Then it dawned on me! Light touched my wretched soul and I became a Christ follower. Ps: am. Somali.... Just meditate on that
They live with malaria, tribal warfare and brides that can be exchanged for goats. They also die young and happy at the age of 35 - unlike you, in your "stressful civilization".
The reason their lifespan seems so low is because the high infant mortality rate pulls down the average. I'm not disagreeing with you-infant mortality is still obviously a bad thing-but it's probably not the case that most adults were dying around age 35. If you survived past infancy then your expected lifespan increased quite a bit. One study found that 72 years was the most common age of death among hunter-gatherers older than 15. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1728-4457.2007.00171.x/abstract
You seem to be completely uneducated on the subject. I am also stunned by your naivety. Food, shelter, water is shared among the tribe members but who told you that whole tribes will gladly share it among each other? Hunter-gatherers don't grow their own food but rater compete for naturally found food sources with wildlife and other tribes. Which makes those primitive tribes even more aggressive as they don't fight for valuables like us - they fight for food and water, thus, their survival. Read about tribal warfare and don't make yourself look like a fool.
Jude Wandili Wabuke most african communities are farmers or pastoralists, he’s a hunter gatherer, hunter gatherers have totally different ways of life from sedentary and pastoralists peoples, don’t group Africa into one monoculture
Peaceful people!....working in harmony with nature! True spiritual practitioners who "know true God connection" inside themselves. No arrogance, pride, ego and hatred amongst these people!
TBY Tv. The Ndorobo and Masai are neighbors in perfect traditional African societal balance. The two adjacent tribes coexist peaceably and mutually as was the norm prior to the European colonial disruption that has devastated much of modern Africa. The problem causers now blame the current state of disarray in Africa hypocritically on their African victims as proof of their own 'civilized superioity.' Steal, disrupt, and then blame the victims as incompetent. The Masai and Ndorobe are perfectly competent.
This is so beautiful. No sound other than some birds and grasshoppers. No one talks , nor shouts. Everyone does what has supposed to do. I wish I could join them . No joke . I just don't fit in here. They would get many laughs by me learning. And I'd swear to never question their orders. But as a woman I'm worthless I guess.
They would welcome you ,no doubt. Just dont go questioning them why its only men hunting alone. Save those dweep moments for western world feminine dudes.
Torobo hunters/gathers are the Maasai cousins and they eat meat! Beautiful people that teach modern man about living in harmony with nature. Excellent educational video!
