Love the hard dedication u put into the hunt, you explain everything in detail to! Thanks for sharing.
He is fairly into the historical record, I imagine he is fairly responsible marking areas with coins and etc. I always imagine the people who come up with that idea as archeologists that are mad about experimental archeologist's debunking their pet theories.
Great video. Actually seeing HOW primitive man hunted, makes so many things clear about why the bow was a step up etc etc. Without seeing it for real NOBODY would understand just exactly how ancient man did it. Cool stuff.
My professor has tried to give us the basics of hunter-gather technology. This video is great, thank you for sharing..
excellent, thank you very much. Who is your professor?
Very cool. God, I lived in a wooded area I Pennsylvania for one year doing primitive living skills. Best year of my life. I had permission to hunt with bow & Flint tipped arrows. However, never hunted with the atlatl . Built shelter, learned tracking signs, cordage, fire starting, tanning hides & bow making. I was with a fellow who was 95% Cherokee & grew up with his father who was a hunting & tracking guide in the Carolinas. I knew flint knapping & he taught me a lot of the rest. I failed terribly at shelter building LoL. Got to do it again!
It would bee cool to see you do a scandinavian primitive hunting wintertime on skis, like they did thousands of years ago
He would have to travel though because he lives in Florida. The Deep South. No snow. Winter temperatures usually don’t go under 38-42 degrees Fahrenheit
He lives in Florida so maybe he could try it with water skis 😂
Native Americans did that to obviously a little more primitive than Scandinavians
I thought it was more of early Africa who’d use atlatl
@@sushirice6751 we havent found any atlatls in africa, at least not around our species ancestral lands of Ethiopia, unless im wrong. Europe, the Americas, and I believe asia have plenty of examples, though, so if atlatls were originally invented in one region then spread, its probably close to north africa
You are going te be messing with Archaeologists they are going to be finding arrow heads from you for years
Lol
Archaeologists of today be like: "We dug this site 10 feet deep and found no wires. Conclusion: The tribe that inhabited this land thousands of years ago already used wireless technology."
this was another great video just how the spear flies is truly amazing i have made my own stone age toolkit but it is no were near as detailed as this great video keep up the good work
Awesome video. This is the type of subject that begs for a time machine so we could answer a lot of essentially un-knowable questions. How did they carry several spears and an atlatl without clacking and clunking as they moved, did they carry extra foreshafts with points affixed and if so how. Did they hunt from trees and blinds and use cordage snares as you mentioned. Experimental archaeology is fun and educational but often brings on more questions than it answers. Keep up the excellent work!!!
Interesting to see these 'wild' invasive pigs behave differently, depending on region, crossbreeds, etc. Where I live, Eurasian wild boar are native and believe me, they attack when threatened. Of course they are genetically different from the animals depicted and live in a different environment. I do enjoy your hunts. Greetings.
So a tip for people hunting Eurasian wild boar; don't miss.
Of course it is entirely possible to kill boar with various primitive weapons. However the wild boar is a strong creature, one not to be messed with. I usually keep my distance when out in the woods.
@@vincentput i live in florida i had an injured boar charge me luckily i had a 12 gauge and not a atlatl tho lol
@@CraftingDivision that's a close call!
Boar spears have that cross guard to stop it for a reason. And these are feral pigs not Boar. Descendants of domesticated animals.
I live in the deep south US in Georgia, and our wild boar attack when threatened as well. Absolutely no fear. So when we hunt these we also keep back-up pistols on us just in case.
Thank you so much for your videos, your tutorials have helped me build and use Atlatls for target practice. I know you are very busy, but I was hoping you might comment or provide information on how to build the removable Atlatl dart tips. The ones I have built keep splitting my darts when they hit the target. Thank you so much and I greatly appreciate the knowledge you share.
Great job Ryan! I can appreciate how very difficult that was. I like your hypothesis that the atl atl may have been more useful when used in conjunction with snares or immobilized game rather than for spot and stalk. The motion required to send the dart to the target is a huge disadvantage for the hunter. What an accomplishment when it happens!
is not an ideal wmore useful
Just found your channel recently. I live in Central Oregon and so much obsidian in the area. I can not imagine the challenges to hunt big game in the high desert. Just so much wide open spaces and no cover. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch your videos.
I love atlatle hunting I've been making my own and practice daily. I would love to hunt hogs with mine haven't gotten a chance yet but very soon plan too. I have many kills on video over 300 with my dogs all hogs taken with a knife. Love watching your videos. Good job man. Thank you
I love your hunting videos, all game harvest is harder than it looks👍🏻
thanks very much
Good work it was hard won but that was one of the better open field stalks I've ever seen good job
Love these vids always keep making them
That’s badass dude. You’re a real hunter don’t care what anybody says
Was chatting with a fella few day ago. Interesting thing in re remarks on how archaeo? native Americans, actually, hunted deer and/or bear. Talked about how his gramma killed deer using saltblock and snare. He was 67. Personally, found his remarks, and yours, about harvesting game fascinating
That was a awesome video very much enjoyed it thank👍👍
Outstanding shot there good video
This channel is awesome
Thank you for the video, this was fascinating.. What are your thoughts of using the atlat in conjunction with primitive camo, such as deer pelts and fake antlers ? Do you think it would increase your chances? Not on public land of course 😅
Keep up the good job 😉👍
You did it. Nice job 👍
Great job. Don't forget that ancient man hunted in party's. Increasing the odds for a kill.
So crazy that the ad before this video was for an intelligent toilet lol
how do you aim with your bow i see you pull it back like half way and then pull back all the way when you shot how do you aim like that
Finally a hunting video
Can't imagine having to hunt whitetail like this back prehistory. They would jump the spear every damn time
Respect to you and to the boar, may it rest in peace, and I hope you enjoyed its meat. Thanks for the vid, it was pretty great to see this hunting method.
You professional hunting and very good man thanks for entertainment good luck
Please do more archery builds or hunts
Cool video! See any deer around?
Does any one know a good place to buy hardwood from because I can’t find anywhere
My assumption is the atlatl would've been much more affective with much larger more abundant megafauna back in the day
I live in BC and want to start napping but I can't find any stones that would work I've done some reading and can't find anything about native napping either do you know if there are any stone I can use in my area
My recommendation is to start using glass, it is a plentiful resource. While it isn’t really a natural material you can practice and learn the basics with it and it is everywhere.
Stephen Bartnett thanks I have a few bottles I've collected that I'm planning on using
I agree about the glass, but another resource is rough stone vendors like roughstone.rocks, who sells chert and obsidian, along with many other interesting bits of geology.
How viable would it be to hunt with it at relatively large distance - 50 metres or so? Atlatl dart should still have plenty of energy at that point.
archeologists could learn a lot from your channel
I imagine traditionally people would be hunting in groups. I would be curious to see how long a hunt would take if you had three or four people armed with Atlatls.
We talk about this a lot in the Full Newnan Project, but to hunt animals like deer or hogs in a group is nearly impossible. It's incredibly tough for just one person to get a shot.
generally they would track herds, not just lone animals that could run off quickly.
The Modoc hunt with almost all the family's in a circle about 400 feet apart and slowly constrict the circle over a day or two forming all the fame to the middle
What types of stone can be used as a substitute for flint?
Glass
There's no archer's paradox with an atlatl. I get what you're trying to say, but it's not the right term for it. Otherwise, it's 110% an A++ video bud. Amazing to see this still being used in it's true historical form.
Hey ryan I am looking to get into flint Knapping and want to know if abo tools or copper tools I think abo but I would love to hear your more educated opinion
Im a begginer also and i can confirm that copper tools are FAAAR more esyer and more forgivving than antler and stone tools. You will also lear faster with copper tools. This is my experience but it is up to you to decide
Richard Törnblom thank you for the advice I think I want to go with abo tools so I can challenge myself but I’ll keep that in mind
Very nice video may I say. I have an idea for a video, can you make a ”prehistoric style” crossbow and maby hunt rabbit or birds with it. There are a simple design that isnt that hard to make found in Skåne Sweden from a peasant rebbelion ca 1500s and it uses a pin to push the string over the edge shooting the arrow Edit: sorry I mean bolt
The 1500s aren’t prehistoric lol history was recorded then I’m pretty sure that period is medieval
Jibish I know but the design is simple enough to be made with prehistoric technology
Of course, but they hadn’t invented it yet is why i said something
You should try hunting with a sling (or a shepherds staff). You would probably have to squirrel hunt since they freeze up but i bet you could do it. You could also use a slingshot they aren’t primitive but it would definitely be entertaining content.
Nice throw
watched this is slow motion. It was the infamous rear paradox hitting the brush, damn shame.
Looks killer and rewarding. Did you eat it?
Awesome
I love the vids keep up the good work!!! 👍🏽
I would love to go hunting with you sometime you are so badass I've always wanted to make and hunt with an atlatl but unfortunately there isn't the right material in nature where I live to make one
where do you live
@@avidanglerorobsession6127 New York
Lake Delta you can buy one, it wont have the same homemade feel, but they work
Almost any hardwood will work, even if it's not ideal. You guys have plenty of ash, but pretty much anything that has fruits or nuts will do fine.
I didnt expext atlatl darts to be so long! I thought they were shorter...
That is so fuckin’ cool.
This is very cool. I would love to try hunting this way.
primitive. that´s indeed all I have in mind, seeing you hunting animals unnecessarily excruciating.
This hunting method is like a metaphor for being an incel. After hours and hours of frustrating stalks, you shoot your shot and critically fail, breaking your tip in the process. Eventually, you spear a hairy pig.
Most ppl forget/ignore the fact that animals are pretty smart too... making hunting a difficult enterprise. LOTS of failure to gain proficiency.
cool
I can not making a arrowhead for standard stone
Tough work
blow gun hunt and build please that would be awesome to watch and hear your comments on
I can’t imagine them killing a 20,000 pound Columbia. Mammoth with atlatl’s and Clovis points. Nevertheless, they did it. Had to be extremely dangerous and probably take hours. I can see this mammoth charging hunters looking like a porcupine with 20 darts stuck into it’s tough hide. Plus, pachyderms will often help each other to fight off predators, so other mammoths may have joined in. Using a steer for comparison, a 1,000 pound animal will produce roughly 400 pounds of beef. If the same ratio holds for a mammoth, a 20,000 pound specimen could yield 8,000 pounds of meat. Not to mention, paleo peoples would have ate mostly everything for nutrient/vitamin uptake they may have lacked in the environment. I personally believe that they understood preservation techniques such as smoking, salting, drying and freezing. I think it was too dangerous not too use preservation. It’s known they would also “meat cache” in cold ponds/lakes by submerging parts of the carcass underwater and use stones as weights to hold down the kill. This would preserve, tenderize and protect the kill from predation from other carnivores. That being said, I don’t believe they hunted all the megafauna of the late Pleistocene to extinction.
do you always hunt in a yellow shirt?
Hell yeah! Haha
At that close of a range, you need to use your arm vs the atle
Atle atle is for distance throwing, but wouldn't you think our ancestors would have thrown close shots with their arm alone?
The other thing I noticed was...put the other darts down. Throw one. You got one shot with that weapon, there are no follow up shots.
To each their own. Admire the dedication but when I hunt I want to dispatch the animal quickly. I just feel that this animal suffered way too much for my liking.
You can say the same thing about using a gun to a bow.....
Or a javelin to the adladle....
Yes yes yes👏👏👏🖒🖒🖒
Are you English?
Could this kill a human?
I hope there is a safety backup with shotgun or 7.62 NATO rifle. A pissed of wounded boar with spear in its side, is dangerous.
do you think that they had beaters that would drive them to the hunters
Or fire
Imagine if he had a rifle. I get it but...
I bet using the atlatl your whole life, one would be as competent as an archer. They were probably better at making dart points too. Someone killed a cave bear with one of these things with a headshot.
that's why most primitive hunters used poison on their javelins and arrows. Perfect shot placement is not always feasible, nor is coming that close to the prey. With poison you can hunt from great distances, no mater what part of the animal you hit it dies
I’m not experienced at all In this but isn’t it a bad idea to pump your later food full of poison
@@zionsimanian9310 so long as you use traditional plant and animal poisons such as aconite or oleander, the meat is fine. You avoid eating the meat that contacted the shaft though, you cut around it as far as I know.
Ya Maniki ah ok makes sense thank you for that
i can cope all day missing
but i hat sitting and fishing coz u dont see what ur not catching
YeeT
Ur so used to the bow ur missing shot with the atlatl
Красивые заросли, много непуганых кабанят. Отличный бросок.
I respect this type of hunting more than what we do nowadays... kinda urks me when I see fat people taking shots from like 6 feet away infront of a feeder in a blind
You need to try not wearing shoes less noise more primitive feel an the look makes the viewer submerse themselves in this type of content
He was ready for that porker to come out!🐷
Great video man
Couple of mistakes I gotta point out
The wilderness is much more difficult to live in than Nature was
Hunter Gatherers do controlled burns and build dams and all kinds of things that make the land better for them to live on and the other thing, why the hell would you spot/stalk with an atlatl?
Atlatls are for using on Caribou the way you use a throwing club on birds
Its meant for putting a large projectile 100 or 150 yrds down range, I mean 50ft is point blank for that thing
I hate that word "Atlatl" its either a spear thrower or a children's toy, the heck is an Atlatl? Lol
I love what your doing but I’d probably carry a pistol to finish them off.
So far you're too Misses for two I'd stick with a bow instead of the atlatl you tend to do better with a bow I would stick with a bow just saying God bless
Y'all are nuts. One of them pigs comes back after you or turn and runs at you instead of away from you your going to have a bad day! I mean I respect what your are doing and all but by God be careful!
What did you expect with yellow shirt?!
You obviously havent seen the amount of animals he has taken with that shirt on
U need dogs
Why are you sneaking up on that hog? This pig is obviously familiar with humans (it is fed by humans) You are doing (theater) sneaking up on wild prey what you're actually hunting, but what you really! do is hunting for semi-domesticated pig that doesn't run away from people 🤥😕
Incorrect. These are all completely wild and free range. we don't do theatre hunts or hunt tame animals.
How many times did you just injure an animal? Guessing from this video that the people who actually hunted for their food using an atlatl would have probably had to practice for hours a day like archers used to have to, their would have been no point sending out hunters who the majority of the time just missed or maimed their prey, which would probably just die days later from infection and blood loss! As someone who hunts and eats their quarry I find this and most forms of bow hunting unethical in our era, there's just too much margin for error! Christ, even hunting with a modern riffle can result in undesirable outcomes on odd occasions, I see no need in increasing the chances of unnecessary suffering just for your self gratification, consign the thing to history or just use it on inanimate objects.
