Primitive Technology: Spear Thrower

A spear thrower is a simple tool that allows the user to throw a spear further than by hand alone. It is a small length of wood with a hook in the end that fits into a notch in the back of the spear. The extra power and distance gained by the thrower is due to the extra leverage it gives.
I cut a small branch with a minor branch coming off the side. I shaped the minor branch into a spur to fit into the end of the spear. The thrower was about 65 cm long.
For the spear, I cut a thin sapling approximately 2 m long and about 1.5 cm thick. I carved a cup in the end of the spear for the spur to fit into. Then I bound the back of the spear with bark fiber to prevent the wood from splitting. The head of the spear was simply charred in the fire and scrapped against a rock to sharpen it (during practice the head regularly breaks so only a sharpened tip is used to save work).
To use the spear thrower, the spur of the thrower is inserted into the cup of the spear. The spear and thrower are held at about shoulder height. The thrower is quickly flicked forward and the spear propelled towards the target. As the spear leaves the thrower it bends slightly storing energy until it jumps of the spur. During flight, the flexible spear wobbles and oscillates paradoxically giving the spear some stability in flight.
The throws in the video show what can be done in one afternoon of practice (my arm got sore and I wanted to start on other projects). I hit the target a few times at a distance 15 m. It is more powerful than a spear thrown by hand alone but is difficult to learn. The spear I made could have been a fraction lighter and so would have greater speed. Another improvement would be to add flights to the spear so it would be more accurate and fly straighter (like an atlatl).
The extra energy gained from a Woomera's (Australian spear thrower) use has been calculated as 4 times that of compound bow (Wikipedia). It's easy to make (this took less than a day) but requires lots of training to become accurate.

@@mvoscotty2901 In 1994 the 300 000 year old schöningen spears were found in Schöningen, Germany. They are the oldest complete wooden weapons. They are credited to homo heidelbergensis, the last common ancestor of homo (sapiens) sapiens aka us and homo (sapiens) neanderthalensis aka the Neandertal. And while they are ancient and credited to a ancestor of humans that was believed to be a mute caveman they show resemblence to modern olympic javelins and display intellegent craftsmenship and that the prehumans were actually intelligent hunters.

Recently anthropologists discovered that some little rocks they found with a hole cut through them had been added in the middle of the spear, and that this reduced the sound of the spear as it traveled, adding a bit more element of surprise before the target is alerted to the incoming missile. Both with the spear and the arrows from previous video, we see charred tips only. Maybe I just haven't seen enough videos, or flint knapping isn't part of your studies, but I wonder about the difference in effectiveness between the fire hardened tips and an actual arrow or spear tip made from rock that could be sharpened. I am going to work through all of these wonderful videos. We are going to need this kind of technical knowhow before long people, as our social societal bonds fall aside when climate change effs every last damn thing.

[@firsttodothat375]

Great video. I’ve learned a lot, and I can survive on my own now.

[@Thejigholeman]

small idea on this one. fired clay spear tips. sharper than wood, easier to replace if damaged (if the tip breaks, just pop it off and put on a new one) and repairs shouldn't shorten the spear

[@arckanumsavage2822]

A spear is a best weapon of all time.

[@flaminzzz]

He's just playing the augmented reality version of minecraft that came out recently

[@flaminzzz]

I think he should make more tools, like a knife for crafting or even a big ass excalibur

[@lajadda]

The best vid I've seen about atlalt.

[@foty8679]

Thats the way this guy plays minecraft.

[@shutereye2634]

I want a game like this in VR where you're hooked up to a machine and your body sleeps while you play.

One day this guy will find some tin and enter the Bronze Age

[@EveryoneGamesOnline]

the Aztecs had this, someone could throw a light spear about 20 yards and with this, it would add another 50 yards to their throw.

[@SoManyTermites]

This guy needs a gaming Channel for The Forest and Ark

[@alexism.621]

The spear seems easier to handle than the sling and a lot more destructive than the bow. Does you think it is the best compromise to hunt and defend yourself in a primitive area ?

[@chron0dude]

Do that!

[@colewilliams6623]

you should think of doing the show, Naked and Afraid!

[@Peace_is_an_answer]

I think they wouldnt have anything to film but him and his construction of a 24 story primitive hut

[@BE-fw1lr]

Hello, great videos. I was wondering if you could show how to make basic clothing, I know over there in australia shorts are probably all you need but maybe shoes and a pair of backup shorts would be nice? I don't know.

[@nasus5126]

I believe the Australian Aboriginal name for a spear thrower is a Woomera, so that’s cool

[@SlayersBoyNewEra]

2 questiona, Why don't you use your previous tools that are easier to make fire with ? And will you be doing a stonehead spear ?

[@josecoelho5703]

how about the first question?

[@ajtshd2898]

Primitive Technology How old are you? Like this so he can see and answer

[@themobylogy5670]

José Miguel Quitério Nunes Coelho because the already answered it. He said it was a great skill to learn, but an easy one to forget so he keeps up practise

[@ebeneproduction]

nonono ! Next video gona be "How to make iron"

[@superpawn100]

He's stated in his blogs that he likes to restart rather often. He'll often take down his structures and get rid of his tools so that he can try new techniques.

[@faizan8024]

man you should take part in Survivor show. i think you will win evwry season. but talking isn't your thing so you are better off here.

[@outerheavenman]

naked and afraid. he would make it for sure.

[@piemonkey321]

He was actually offered to go on Naked and Afraid, he turned them down saying he felt he didn't have enough survival skills.

[@JohnBastardSnow]

That would be awesome. But he'll be voted out when the merge comes, because he's going to be a big threat.

do the bugs eat you alive or do you use bug spray to protect from catching disease, sicknesses, ect

[@OcelotMinecraft]

also have you ever injured yourself significantly

[@jackboyd7741]

This is what I was wondering, he showed a shot of a pretty mean looking scorpion in the last video, I would be shitting myself lol

Do you workout? Did you make your own gym out of mud too?

[@thebeef2565]

Fuck you. This guys name is Tommy and he just plagiarized what I said in our discord about Primitive Technology building his own gym.

[@Cd5ssmffan]

no he just goes outside and you are a fat fuck and sit in your mothers basement

[@tecseven7]

has minecraft in his channel tags and makes 9/11 memes. Lol ok

[@chuggon7595]

if you have to make fun of someones weight than youre most likely fat as well

[@AirIUnderwater]

I think a lighter, but better balanced spear, made out of a better wood, would achieve better accuracy and speed. But it's awesome seeing this made and tested.

[@massoverride478]

I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?) I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobile (You know you can get hurt that way Daniel?) At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see (What do they see, Darling?) Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

Baron Black Dragon fallout

[@connoro1373]

it's called an atlatl, right?

[@connoro1373]

oh... read the description.. so it's like its granddad?

[@Brolael]

"Atlatl" is just the Nahuatl word for it, just like "woomera" is the Aboriginal word. Each carried its own variations for stabilization, accuracy, and power but they all function the same. Even ancient Greeks used an "amentum," which essentially removes the need for the thrower itself by tying a piece of leather on the spear. You loop the leather around your first two fingers and position the spear in between your index and thumb.

[@Dylan_ispeeing]

its essentially an australian version of an atatl

[@markcash2]

In Australia it is called a "woomera."

why do you still use your hands to make fire when you can use your handy pump drill

[@oscarsalomonsson1093]

Probably just to annoying to use that heavy massive thing.

[@oranjizer]

He already answered that, read the otehr comments. He said its an easy to lose skill and hence he wants to keep up the practice of using hands.

[@momoakbar497]

he does so that h- wait I'm not telling the cia shit

[@laxaria904]

cuz he likes to show off :)
