This is really wonderful. It's amazing the way glass/obsidian works. A beautiful and useful substance, whether naturally formed or man made. I run across many broken bottles in my area, and it would be quite easy to craft knives this way!

Thank you for the video i try to get in to slings and it was very informative sorry for my bad english i am from Europ Slovenia thank you sir have a nice day

what about old oyster shells? Someone in my neighborhood had an oyster dinner and left the shells behind.

What world you say if the thing was a little thicker i dont really have Many strait “thin” stick in my area and my types of forrests

🤠👍👌

Tasmanian aboriginal tribes used these for hunting except Tasmanian sticks are sharp on both ends

I made my first sling a few months ago from paracord, youre not kidding when you say stretch.... The first day i started learning it i practiced for over 4 hours, the next day or two was brutal. I honestly couldnt believe how sore my muscles were, and alot of muscles not typically used or felt. It was very similar when i got my rabbit stick from throwsticks.

I used three ceramic beertops ( nirwrgian kr Grolsch) in Artic I used often and had great gain in food in off grid areas

Seriously? What kind of geek do you have to be to choose this as a hobby/skill? PS I googled it....there are 56 kinds of Geek, and I only fit 23 of them! :)

Home Depot has bags of awesome stones for cheap👍

Bola-adora is its full name

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proud to be a slinger aswell!! Free palestine!!

Easier then a sling? I can live with that!

What causes the upward emition of the exhaust gas? "2:11 this primary flame emits wood gas 2:14 upwards at the same time the heat from 2:17 the flame creates a vacuum that draws in 2:20 fresh air from the bottom ports and 2:22 pushes that air upwards". But physics tells us: "The hot air inside the stove is thinner and lighter than the surrounding colder atmosphere, which is more compressed by GRAVITY. This difference in WEIGHT causes the hot air being PUSHED out and upward. Like the heavier scale of a weighing balance lifts the lighter scale". The stove wouldn't draft in a space station.

My late grandpa RIP was a boyscout leader in his younger years and he taught me everything he knew but I cannot deny it I'm still learning things from the wonderful world of KZbin

I've been bushcrafting since I was 10

Doubt you'll ever read my last comment but if you do awesome

Idk about the mora u showed but I made my own knife from an old lawnmower blade I can't remember who's KZbin channel I originally found the idea on but it has never failed me or let me down in any way shape or form and I smithed it myself when I was only 15 I'm 35 now

😁😍

Archery not unless he turns a bit more. Rifle definitely yes. Spear no Argentine bola “Las tres Maria’s” Si

you're doing it wrong You need rapid rotation for velocity

I hate you DONT HOLD THE HORSESHOE CRAB LIKE THAT

This is great information presentation. In the first couple of minutes I have learned how to make, balance and attach a loop to a javelin. Theres lots of videos an hour long that never even cover the core information.

You're gonna be hungry at that rate of shooting. Plus the draw weight will only be good enough for small game.

This is a great video. Not too long, not too short. Good audio, universally understandable explanations. I now really understand how valuable this weapon is

Did you know that one litre of their blood is $6,000

Hunting purposes are kind of limited with this because its seems to cruel to use on anything it dosent turn into hamburger on impact

Thanks a lot ! First topic i see that compare accuracy between this and classic sling ! Wich is obviously the first question that come in mind. Didn't really understand : is it more powerful or pretty similar on this point ? Can throw bigger stone, but closer, so not necessary more powerful overall (but great to throw grenades for sure !)

The javelin: The AK-47 of the ancient world... besides the sling The javelin: The longest used weapon of the ancient world... besides the sling

Why would atlatl darts be so weak? It's just a lever for throwing harder. You should be able to throw anything with it, from light darts to heavy spears. The only disadvantage would be the extra stick to carry around. The throwing cords, like the amentum, are smaller, lighter and easier to produce, and can throw the same weapons hard and far enough to make the atlatl unnecessary. But the bow is still a better way to throw pointy sticks.

Man, I just realized you’re Filipino. I’m Chinoy, yes keep up the great work. The day’s coming when we’re going to have to use these skills.

Everyone knows anyone who calls themself a “wannabe” is a real one. Keep up the great work, man.

What is the zombie kill per minute rate on these.

The advantage in warfare statement was spot on buddy

I think there better for battle. Accuracy wouldn't really matter as much since you have hundreds thrown at once. Great tool to help thin the ranks. Also works great in conjunction with the other projectiles on the scene

Arent you supposed to, ya know swing it around and build up speed? To take advantage of th centripetal force that gives it its power? Your technique is like if you had a bow, but did not draw the bowstring back and just lunged forward using that to throw the arrow. Or while you were throwing rocks by hand you did not use your shoulder/biceps(and triceps) at all and just threw with your elbow bending

Very cool. This is an amazing low tech toy. Thank you for sharing

Thanks, now I can shave!

Ok, very specific question: what does your release hand do exactly when letting out? Some say to point your index finger on the target like when throwing a stone. Others claim they do the same motion as with a bullwhip. I even read sth like "make a pistol shape with your fingers, have your palm face up and lock the target between your index finger and your thumb". I'm still not making any progress...

This is the Companion HD right?

IMO due to the tumble even on a direct miss you might score as it cartwheels about also pine pitch glue would firm up the binding nicely.

I have that stove, do you remember which MSR Alpine pot do you use? There's 4 sizes, 475ml, 775ml, 1.1lt and 1.6lt which one fit best? Ty!😊

I purchased at a stock clearance (in Romania) 3 such stoves at the price of 5.25 dollars, with taxes included, and with free shipping. Brilliant! The seller had no idea what he was selling :)))

I got this tip from Ron Hood who was talking about straightening arrow shafts but works just as well for atlatl darts. I’ll cut a bunch of river cane to the same length. Then put them together in a bundle and bind them tightly with cordage and set aside for a week or two in a dry place. The individual shafts are crooked but when bound together, the overall bundle is straight and the shafts will straighten out nicely.

Change you sling type. Change your techniques. Then, you will be successful.

Why dont you send multiple swings, arent you losing power

Its good for its range right?

Got one almost identical. Brilliant, impressive little stove. Easy to light, clean burning and no need to constantly attend to it - all the opposite to the rocket stove, in my experience. And so versatile. I have the small Kelli kettle which fits perfectly on that stove and works a lot better than with the Kelli burner part. That combo gives you boiling water in a few minutes. The only downside, it's difficult to simmer with it. Though thinking about it, I'll try a perforated metal sheet to dampen the flames. Might work.
