How to make RABBIT STICKS the easy way | Survival Hunting Boomerangs

The rabbit stick is more powerful than it looks. It's power comes from how fast it spins through the air, not how quickly it gets to the target. Once I realized that, I started to get a lot better at throwing them. I'm always surprised at how far they can fly when carved correctly. In my region, Juniper is a good choice and was used historically by the local indigenous tribes. Its not a very dense wood, but dense enough, and rocky mountain juniper and utah juniper have a tendency to grow J or C shaped branches, so its pretty easy to find the right shape for rabbit sticks. Thanks for watching, and try making your own!

Mulberry works pretty well also

I did boomerangs with my dad when i was 10. Now at 50, im in it again. Thanks for the video.

[@SandyRavage2]

This sounds really nice, thinking of fond memories is always pleasant. Thank you for sharing. My daughter with be turning two and I hope to be teaching her this kind of thing. Take care man. 😊

[@anonymousthesneaky220]

Cool! I’ve had this on my to do list myself for a little while! Can’t wait to try!

[@andyfleege8504]

Dude! Awesome knowledge and composition! Rabbit Stick! Ha! Thanks

[@AllofJudea]

I never even knew these were a hunting tool. I hope your channel gets to where it deserves to be! I'll be sharing your vids

[@max_fjellstorm]

Im going to make one tomorrow! Thank you for the video!

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Hope it goes well!

[@richardlynch5632]

Into the keep files😎👍👍

[@bradlafferty]

Thus sounds like a lot of fun to practice with, sort of like frisbee with a purpose! Thanks!

[@frogjunk]

Love that purple of the juniper cedar. It makes nice band saw boxes.

[@stpetie7686]

Interesting video. Next time in in the woods I'll be looking for dead oak or hickory to fiddle around with. It's going to be a fun exercise. Thanks.

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Good luck! It’s good fun

[@jamesdriver8131]

Love it brother keep up the good work. A wealth of survival knowledge is golden these days. If the USA collapsed there would only be a few of us that survived 10 years.

[@kevinhickey4442]

Very cool. Great video! I may try maple.

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Nice! Harder maple species could work nicely

[@globyois]

Great video, excellent presentation.

[@Squigglybill9288]

The curve to the right at 10:02 is probably just because you are throwing forehand with your wrist turned out (think thumb down). This happens a lot with frisbees, but i bet the rabbit stick is hard to keep level due to leverage in the hand

[@sagesmokesurvival]

It’s tricky. All in the release

[@Abdeena]

Really nice

[@Michaelfatman-xo7gv]

Boxelder worked fine. I used firewood, uncarved.

[@crod247]

Where did you get the tomahawk in the video

[@Jebuschrist3954]

You should review a skachet if you can find one

[@frederickwaramit2817]

Nice video, by the way can you make a video on how to make a primitive fish hook and fishing pole?

[@DawsonDubois]

AWESOME!!! I'm really glad for you.

[@davidbrand5326]

Great video. Looks like it’s time for me to go make another one with my kids. How did you determine It was the throwing handle that made the throwing stick fly wobble?👍👍👍 enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@jasonhopson7280]

Center of gravity , too much weight on one side will make it wobble as it's flying.

[@davidbrand5326]

@@jasonhopson7280 great thanks!

[@fvls_2110]

I tried to make some, but they bever worked well... one did, but it broke when it hitted a rock! Lol

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Hope you try it again soon

[@fvls_2110]

What weapons wold you use in a primitive situation? You can choose three for your arsenal...

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Depends on if I have to make the weapons or not, and if so, what tools and materials I have to work with. A rifle or shotgun is by far the easiest weapon to procure meat with, but if those are off the table, in order I would choose a bow (with arrows), atlatl, and rabbit stick. A good bow with arrows is the hardest to make, and a rabbit stick is easiest. If I were better with a sling, I might choose that over the atlatl.

Boomerang ? Boomerang ? i've seen children hunt with bigger "sticks" that you hold. And hunt effectively, (Not come home empty handed.)
