make an ATLATL from scratch!

[@thetruther6269]

NICE ! The test throw of the spear showed you had a good choice and it flew straight. You are ready for small game today, and, that's why I think the atlatl is the first survival weapon a person should make if in a true survival situation. Also, you can protect yourself from a hungry wolverine, all in a short time.

Awesome job. Thank you.

Grate you man grate movie

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Good lesson on making an improvised atlatl using only a knife. Even a knife could be made from hitting a rock with a rock. Thanks.

[@livingskills]

Hiting stone against stone is what I love to do most!;-)

[@draven3838]

Not bad for a bush craft atlatl and dart

[@michaelschudlak1432]

Shame the audio wasn't good but i did enjoy your video. Couldn't place your accent, were your from?

[@livingskills]

[@anthonyfeatherstone7696]

That is a nice knife. What kind is it?

[@livingskills]

Sade Storm hey, this is the knife i made myself. So its my kind!;-)

[@anthonyfeatherstone7696]

living skills really like the style and looks very well crafted. Great job!

[@bobswoodlandadventures5722]

Great video! I’ve made three style atlatls. I need a lot of practice with them though. I’m better with a bow and arrow.

[@LewisSanderson]

How straight does it fly over a certain distance without the fletchings? I used to throw Javelin and that was easier to keep straight because of its length and good aerodynamics. I make my atlatls with Hazel like you but I use goose feathers to fletch it. I do dream of making something purely with raw materials to catch a rabbit or other small game with.

[@livingskills]

It did fly pretty good because it was cut wet! Totally different story if it would have been seasoned. Actually I do use snowball for my darts and spruce. With fletching on a daily basis. So it really is just a quick survival weapon I made. One thing I tried and worked really good is just tying one feather to the end of the dart!

[@quigpig455]

I made mine with a fishing rod

[@LaurensThlr]

How long are the darts?

[@livingskills]

this one wasn´t meassured but around 2 meters

[@LaurensThlr]

and wood did you use?

[@livingskills]

@@LaurensThlr I know the sound wasn't good but the dart is from hazelwood and the thrower from willow!

[@LaurensThlr]
