Green Beret shows how to make Spears, and other Primitive Weapons | Tactical Rifleman

If you guys have the opportunity, they have small flat spear tips for animals, fish, and frogs. I carry these in survival gear in all my vehicle Bug-out bags. If you use river Cain like I showed in the video, then you would want to use it while it was green. Mine are old and dried out, which makes them fragile at the joints. Bamboo is a lot stronger and you can use old or green bamboo into spears. The straight spear points and the flat ones I showed in the video do not work well on fish or frogs. The are made to spear small mammals, in fact the flat one I showed on the video will work on animals as big as a wolf, or human. To make the straight spear point effective you need to slightly char it over your fire, and then use your knife or rock to scrape off the black char portions. Now you have a nice hardened spear point that will hold up during use. The reason I had multiple points on my river Cain spears is, you most likely will not have a big fish to spear like they show in the movies. I spent 3 years in South East Asia and weather it was my bad luck or just the way things are, I only saw small fish to spear. The multiple tips allow you to catch the small fish in-between the tips, rather then trying to stick one through the fish. Now you can make a straight spear tip work, but it is more work; all you have to do is cut circular rings around the shaft of the spear tip. By doing this the spear tip will now hang up in flash when you pull your spear up to retrieve the fish. You can try and cut a barb towards the tip of the spear to catch on the fish so it doesn’t slip out as you pull it out of the water. The other way which is hard to find is to look for a straight branch with a little limb coming out near where you are going to make a spear tip. This gives you a natural barb to use. Throwing sticks, you must have at least two to be effective. One is for throwing the other is for running up and bashing the critter over the head and killing it. They must be made of hard wood that is fairly heavy, like oak, walnut, or Osage Orange. You would like them to be about 2.5 feet long to 3 feet long. This length will allow you to throw them damage the animal or stun it until you can run up and smash it with the other stick, or you should have a good walking stick with a straight spear point at one end. Now you can either use the walking stick to smash the animal, or spear it. The Bolo system of tying weight onto string, rawhide, or vines. The is very old method used in South America, but I don’t know where it originated from. This is like learning to use a lariat, same principle. Tie the strings together on the opposite end as the weights, hold this know and swing the weighted ends around in a circle over your head. Now just like a Lariat you point with your index finger at what you want to Bolo to smash into and let go. It takes a lot of practice, and a lot of work to make. I advise you stick to a spear or throwing sticks.
No BS now, don’t be caught in the 21st century without a firearm, bow or sling shot, I mean damn, if you’re that unprepared then you most likely wouldn’t have a knife or hatchet on you to make a damn thing. To survive you must have years of practice in different situations to be knowledgeable to improvise any tool in a serious survival situation. Always remember all cultures in the world have multiple cutting tools to do their work, no one edge tool or weapon can do everything!
I’ll see you guys on the Ground!

"This is an 8 prong. Is it necessary? No. But I like it."

[@americanpatriot6918]

Great video, Randy is definitely full of knowledge! I'd love to see him do a video on the best knots to know. I bet Randy knows the best knots for hunting, camping, tarp shelters, and survival tools that need rope, twine, or paracord to function. His video on trapping was excellent! I bought a bunch of 18" fishing leaders after watching that video. Thanks for all the great content Karl! God bless you and the TR crew! And God bless America!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TacticalRifleman]

Randy is a wealth of knowledge

[@rmac8878]

Randy is one hell of a guy with a lot of great survival knowledge. I always enjoy listening to what wisdom he is willing to pass on.. Thanks Randy, and all the others for all you do..

[@TacticalRifleman]

I appreciate that!

[@SilverGorilla1776]

More from this guy! Love his no nonsense and truthfulness. “I survived in the jungle for 3 years eating 3 inch fish.”

[@berry.tucker]

Thank you so much for taking the time to shoot these video's. This way Randy's knowledge can go on forever. P.S the video's are great training aids.

[@TacticalRifleman]

We all love Randy

[@rueridge7597]

Randy should be in Jaws remake. “Rawhide! You’re going to need a bigger spear!!” 🐋🐬 Great info and wisdom as always.

[@TacticalRifleman]

That would be cool

[@toddb930]

Randy, THANK YOU for your sacrifices and service. Three years in SE Asia had to be a big drain on your life force. And thank you for describing the Spear designs.

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Looks like when Randy is talking, Sadam is listening carefully.

[@SurferKid29]

Karl , I loved your little tid-bit of info during the livestream on how to slowly smuggle in new arsenal without the wife losing her shit. I’ve been joking a lot about buying new guns to the extent she doesn’t believe me when I tell her I actually did purchase ...

[@silvadossantos6803]

Rawhide have surprising a soft ASMR voice, that's full of knowledge and wisdom, looking forward to see more of his trade specifically on the survivalist stuff when he shines.

[@barrysmith916]

Real world knowledge for survival. Thanks Randy. Fishing cane. Great tool.

The predator is lucky it never went up against randy. If it did there wouldn't have been another 4 movies, they would keep away.

Appreciate that

[@charlesmckinley29]

Thanks Randy!

[@Bert_o_destruidor]

Here in South America we have big kinds of fish (1-4kg) that likes sun baths. It is not hard to find depending where you are.

[@tom_olofsson]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@johnl.5117]

There is a man who has "seen the elephant" many times. God bless him. BTW if you are lazy, a three prong hook tied tight to the end of a piece of sapling is great for snatch grabbing small fish from the water. This is for education only as In most States game wardens will not be happy if they catch you.

[@danielsullivan7740]

This is the guy that inspired the movie “Rambo”. Lol even if I didn’t know who this guy was I wouldn’t fuck with him. He gives off a “I will murder you with your own thumb” vibe. Lol

[@thomasnugent7602]

Randy, Thank you very much. Very informative and educational. Outstanding class.

[@TheCCBoi]

This is an old school snake eater, I like it!

[@cadreops6067]

Outstanding! I was just looking for an ironwood shaft for a spear last month while camping in the Manistee National Forest. Very awesome 👍

[@slowdancer5563]

Nice presentation, thank you.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Glad you liked it!

[@Tux7.62]

Can I make a recommendation? When making game spears, always try to go at least 1ft above your head. It'll keep you from having a "Happy accident" Hehe, good video Sir's.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Excellent advice

[@Tasteasyoucook]

Randy is the best

[@soldtobediers]

Lucky to have grown up from 8 to 11 with acres of woods across the street. Every golf ball diameter based sapling was a spear in the making with my old Hickory butcher knife... and every focused on cactus ear was a penetrated rabbit.

[@TacticalRifleman]

A truly great childhood... very similar to mine

[@NickNnox]

Good stuff. Thanks!

[@pjb9425]

This kind of skill should be taught to every youngster girl or boy, these survival skills will be swept away by wokeness unless we pass them on. Thank you for this video sir, I will pass it on myself.

[@charlesmckinley29]

Sadly it won’t happen. Food comes from the store, until it doesn’t.☹️

[@assassinmanx6128]

Social media/tablets and expensive phones with stupid games took all that away.

[@assassinmanx6128]

@@charlesmckinley29 Well we never know. Especially with this bullshit sprayed virus this year. I remember in March you couldn't even get a pack of hamburger meat for like a week cause everyone bought it all up. Hunting would of definitely came in handy.

Awesome video, love the field craft and survival videos. So much more than just pew pew stuff that people should know.

My pleasure!

This info if true life knowledge and I hope its not lost in todays time.

[@bombsaway6340]

Like to see a video showing how to make the fishing spears. Great video.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Great suggestion!

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

1776th...Would some netting in the backpack be a worthwhile addition?

[@shibaspeed]

It would be great to see some of these spears in action! Video part 2?

[@Dragonfire1911]

If there's anybody interested, someone should make a test video on how effective a fire hardened spear would be for defending against predators.

[@jed9615]

Good seeing you again you ol fart. Love ya brother, Keep it up!

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you for the video

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for watching!

[@RobinP556]

Randy, here’s your problem, you’d catch those really big fish if you spaced the prongs at least 6 inches apart. lol But seriously, great video!

[@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760]

Great stuff! Took my daughter primitive canoe camping for several days. Along the river we were surrounded by catfish in the shallows and I made a gig to try to spear some. Zero success, even in the shallows. Even accounting for light bending I never made contact if they were moving. Can you shed some light on the timing/technique for actually making one of these spears work? I don't mind failing my way to success, but I'd appreciate some of your knowledge on how to improve.

[@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760]

@3D Possible thanks! I thought I was accounting for refraction, but the results say otherwise LOL. The frisbee idea is genius. That's exactly the kind of tip I was looking for. Everything sounds simple once you know the answer, but I would never have thought about that. And then I can practice with variable water depth and reduce the size of the target until I'm Robinson Crusoe- worthy. Seriously appreciate the feedback.

[@TacticalRifleman]

3D is correct. Practice before you need it.

[@ChiefMiddleFinger]

Silent pointy sticks !!!
