Really great stuff!!! I can see you have been working hard at evolving your content. Everything about this was great, the filming, the sound effects, the detail in all aspects of the production of that bow, just phenomenal! I am looking forward to seeing more content like this!!!🎉
thanks man, I really appreciate it! Only time will tell if I do more like this...haha. hopefully folks enjoy it. Thanks for the nice comment and I look forward to your next videos as well.
Absolutely awesome Ryan! You turned what could have been a 100 hour movie into 20 minutes. Well done Sir. There are a lot of us out here that share your passion and appreciate all your hard work. This world is so complex and we crave these simpler skills and lifestyle. Speaking for myself, this is my therapy to escape the reality of what is a complex and crazy world. Again, thank you Sir! For all you do…
excellent...the rock flaking, the bone knapping, sap and charcoal for glue and waterproofing, the yucca fibers for twine and then the squirrel intestines for string on the arrow feathers. how to straighten arrows, make fire, figure 4 trap trigger... it's all there...i will remember all of this..
Re a truely gifted and talented person. Because I have learned so much from you, I have learned 1 thing from doing all this myself. And that is, all the earth's ancestors had to struggle for nearly everything, and in so doing, I have gained a great respect for our ancestors. Knowing that everything was a struggle makes me really appreciate the gifts I have found in nature and thank the creator for giving them to us. And for his wisdom of how to make and use them. I have also learned that our ancestors had a use for almost everything that surrounded them and that they seem to have taken nothing for granted. Thank you for opening my eyes. May you continue to bless us with your knowledge.
Thank you for this Ryan, you truly have not the slightest amount of acknowledgment of how amazing this was to the thousands, millions of people who will see this, a true work of art Ryan
Very cool, now that was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed seeing you incorporate the squirrel gut into the fletching’s. I was happy to see the Yucca String hold up. Fantastic archery skills as always!Thanks for Sharing! Ben
I'll be 60 In August Liver from a fresh kill makes me feel 20 again. Wild game is so pure and when you use primitive weapons to get game, you have a real sense of pride and it seems to make it taste better!
This was really great! I loved how hungry you looked when you were looking up at that squirrel, not just for meat, but for all the uses that you would make of it to help complete your kit. The whole production was very well done. I especially was happy to have seen the kill shot on the doe, remembering how happy that made you when she cooperated so nicely in that hunt! How cool to share an actual memory of someone else's successful hunt! Thanks for what you do, Ryan!
I was impressed that you actually showed the squirrel part. Most people on youtube just make a trap and leave it at that, they never show that it works. That was cool to see. It was also cool to see how the intestines could be used as cordage. Most people focus on plants, wood, and stone, while leaving out how important it is to utilize different parts of the animals you kill.
If we tried anything even like that in england we’d be thrown straight in jail, cant even wild camp over here, cant do anything other than work and pay the government to put more restrictions rules and laws on me, and im paying them to do this!! 🤦🏻♂️
@@PeteRed-ig3fpme too bud, ive been a keen bushcrafter for 30yrs or so but sadly its always stealth wild camping, id love to be able to take my bows out and fly rods and go wild camp and catch my dinner for a wk or two but we cant do that here, we get told to move on if caught camping out and would get into serious trouble if caught hunting with a primitive bow etc.! Were not as free as we think we are..! 🏕️✌🏻
@@curleex3838With you on the bow thing I use a catapult I'm what most would call homeless hahaha however I'm currently in a hostel until next time just so the dog can rest up ..he's becoming so lazy..got a pal walked half way round UK coast ..that's next for me..I don't follow their rules..I believe it's 7% owns everything 😂 crazy .. peace say hello to the FAE they really run tings.
@@PeteRed-ig3fpyes ive spent most my life outdoors and at 56yrs old ive spent 56yrs with a dog right at my side, im not homeless or anything but i choose to be out with my dog either buming from town to town or traversing the woodlands, i dont care where i lay my head as long as it’s always on my dog, were Fatman and Bobbin the dynamic duo 😉 😂✌🏻
I'm sorry for that brother,truly. It's getting that way here in the US. Move outta there out in the American west or deep south bro,it's much freer there
This is the best damn Historical movie, I've ever seen. Seeing it's NOT out of Hollywood, it's actually based on FACTS too. Thanks for all the good stuff my Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Your work is more important than you know. Keep going, keep learning and rediscovering. Keep teaching people to live with nature as one, not separate and on top of it. ❤
This is amazing! I'm so fascinated by the truly ancient ways of bushcraft that our ancestors used to survive and thrive in a world where they had nothing but what was around them. They were very creative and clever people, much more than they get credit for.
This is such an epic story! Imagine how simple life was back then; no rent to be paid, no 9-5 to make someone else’s dreams come true. No social media. No private property. No taxes. No global bureaucracies. Just local governments and a village of people who grow close because their very survival depends on it. Just the way life should be. I want a do over!
Amazing well honed skills there brotherman. Including editing! Lovely film, respectfully done. Your knapping is a thing of beauty. 👏 Man that backstrap looked tasty! Bravo sir. 👍
@@huntprimitive9918 Been watching for years. Never get tired of learning new things from you. I still need to finish making that clovis jig you showed with that flat side on a piece of antler and give that a whack
@@huntprimitive9918I felt bad for the poor guy to have had his intestines reduced to something as trivial as arrow fletching but it looked really effective!😅
The part that steers the arrow to the food target is not trivial. Besides the bow it's almost the most important part. Definitely most important part of the arrow, the tip can just be a sharp part of the arrow. But the fletching has to do the job right or no food. @@dragonofhatefulretribution9041
very good work, congratulations! Indians in Brazil cook everything, roast fish, game, corn and even enemies caught in battles! Sapiens evolved like this!
awesome.. Because of you i made my first self bow 2 years ago and have made 5 more. each different but all shoot well. Broke a lot to get to this point. Made my fist Osage bow 2 months ago a little snaky buts shoots awesome. Hard to get good wood where i live in the plains of far north Texas. Very little Trees exist here. Watch every video. Thanks.
Ryan, you really knocked this out of the park, out of the earth and through space! You set all other "primitive" videos correct. Sgi for your time, effort, energy, dedication, and preservation of our ancestral skills. Keep up the phenominal work cousin! Aho!✊
Hey wow!! One of your best ever! As I was watching I was thinking " how man would share technics and knowledge to each other to make life easier for one another" Thanks for sharing man you got it down, just awesome.
Great capture of the human experience for the last half million years. I hope your work with documenting the working stone age skills will help many in the future should we have to rely on them again.
Absolutely loved this video, this has to be my favorite video you've made. Keep up the awesome work my friend. Always entertaining, educating and never ceases to inspire and motivate me to continue my own journey of primitive technology!
Well said brother, 😂 thank you for every last second. Will always be here watching and learning. In my 50's now, and learn something every time from every show. Thank you and be safe out there among all them English...
haha, thanks! I would have loved to make it longer. Attention spans are unfortunately so much shorter these days. Very glad you enjoyed it! thanks for letting me know
Absolutely fantastic video. This could have easily been longer !! I'll be watching this again. Such good work man thank you for the effort and time you put into this for us 🤝🏼👏🏼
Really impressed with the edit! I’ve done the similar journey, Altho not from stone, but from steel to make bow, small game to deer. Absolutely no other feeling in the world to walk that path and feed yourself. Subbed!
Have always respected your skills and enjoyed your videos of the primitive skills---and this was simply an amazing narrative putting it all together visually. Thanks for all of your teaching and the time and energy that you put into keeping these skills alive!
It’s always a great video that you make my friend. You do a wonderful job teaching us what we need to do just in case things go south in this country but I appreciate you a lot Ryan.
I think you should make a ASMR video just dedicated to arrow making. Watching you make arrows from river cane is so satisfying to watch. I have learned a lot about bow building from both you and clay hayes. Really appreciate the work you put in to your video ❤💯
I really like your content and hopefully soon I can buy you book . I prefer to use the Mojave Sissor trap over the figure four when I have the resources to build them. I can hopefully start learning to flintknap in the near future. You're a very good stone tool modern hunter/gatherer and have keep my mind sane through the last few years while I've been going through a very hard time in my life I've always been a student and practitioner of survival from my youth I will turn 61 in a couple of months but still have a lot of life to live and plan on living closer to mother nature as possible. So I just want to thank you personally for all that you have shared with me over the years I really appreciate you.
Really great stuff!!! I can see you have been working hard at evolving your content. Everything about this was great, the filming, the sound effects, the detail in all aspects of the production of that bow, just phenomenal! I am looking forward to seeing more content like this!!!🎉

this kind of video shows people what personal agency looks like,
and agency is the antidote to trying to purchase validation
Ain’t gonna lie, using squirrel guts as binding was not what I was expecting. Pretty hardcore but pretty freaking intelligent too. Hats off to you sir
wait till you see a snowshoe 😮
PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!!! They are awesome, and I understand they surely take alot of time but PLEASE! They are very much appreciated
Ive watched huntprimitive for many years. I always thought i was self sufficient, but this guy is next level.

This is the most incredible video on TH-cam. The amount of time you put into this 20 minute video was worth it. Awesome just awesome!
Wow! Such a good video. Best ever you have ever done. I could watch this over and over.
MORE PLEASE!
Thank you! So glad you liked it. Thanks for taking time to post the kind comment!
Man great job that had to take forever to make this. You can clearly see your passion for what you do
Thank you very much! It definitely took a tremendous amount of time to put this together, but it was certainly a labor love.
The survival skills of our primitive ancestors was astonishing, and your recreation of these skills is equally as astonishing.
This is such an epic story!
Imagine how simple life was back then; no rent to be paid, no 9-5 to make someone else’s dreams come true.
No social media.
No private property.
No taxes.
No global bureaucracies. Just local governments and a village of people who grow close because their very survival depends on it.
Just the way life should be.
I want a do over!
You make survivor man look real bad... Great Skills thanks for Your dedication and knowledge.... God Bless You
Amazing well honed skills there brotherman. Including editing! Lovely film, respectfully done. Your knapping is a thing of beauty. 👏
Man that backstrap looked tasty!
Bravo sir. 👍
Thank you very much. Very glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for sharing, Ryan! Definitely enjoyable and worth the watch
Thank you Kyle, I very much appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
@@huntprimitive9918 Been watching for years. Never get tired of learning new things from you. I still need to finish making that clovis jig you showed with that flat side on a piece of antler and give that a whack
I know this video must have taken ALOT of time and effort to make - but I really appreciate it!
I loved it!
fletching the arrows with the squirrel intestines is metal AF 😂😂😂
Our ancestors were pretty metal for sure
haha, super metal. That's my wife's least favorite part of the film.
@@huntprimitive9918I felt bad for the poor guy to have had his intestines reduced to something as trivial as arrow fletching but it looked really effective!😅
Is the membrane on ribs the same as back strap sinew
The part that steers the arrow to the food target is not trivial. Besides the bow it's almost the most important part. Definitely most important part of the arrow, the tip can just be a sharp part of the arrow. But the fletching has to do the job right or no food. @@dragonofhatefulretribution9041

The intestines to wrap the fletchings was a new one for me, great video, amazing skills
Just amazing, from the skills to the cinematography, incredible. I hadn't seen the trick of burning the fletchings all the same size, too cool!
Absolutely epic Ryan it seems so believable knowing your background
Thank you very much! I figured I was probably the right guy for the job! very glad you enjoyed it
