Throwing Sticks For Wilderness Survival - Part 1

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

I have heard that they can be beneficial, but I have never really experimented with them... there is a whole science behind it and a lot to be learned... please let me know if you end up making the curved version!

[@CoffeeDrinker41]

Can't wait for part II .... excellent video!

[@hiddenflorida]

Great vid about one of the handiest tools outside. If I could add a point about safely breaking wood in a tree crotch: Crouch a little to lower your center of gravity and always push rather than pull. That way you won't topple over if the wood breaks sooner than you expected.

[@s8jljohnson]

thanks, this video was really informative. i was clueless how to make a big stick into a small stick and throw it

[@seahue]

Awesome lesson:) I like how you presented it; Very clear and concise.

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thanks! Yep, it is super handy for all kinds of stuff.

[@sraike]

Thanks Paul. Great video!

[@finishstrongdoc]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are an excellent teacher, and you obviously know your skills very well. Liked you "splattervision" teaching, too. "Everything is a teacher", and you've been seein a LOT ! Peace be with you *+*+*+*

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@uraniumjoe]

Dude that's awesome. Thanks for posting this!

[@buckiemohawk]

It was a really good movie. I so enjoyed it.

[@StillOnTrack]

Great video. Well spoken, well explained.

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Yeah, it takes a little time but it's not too bad. I probably found that location within ten minutes and I was dilly dallying the whole way. Thank you for commenting!

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Good insight! Thanks for sharing!

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Yeah... I love that technique for breaking firewood!

[@canuckcamper]

Great presentation again

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Yes, absolutely... use the same stick for both. Thank you.

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting!

[@mohmog33]

#1....sweet! Great vid, too. 5/5

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thanks! I will keep them coming!

[@73mensailedoff]

Great video looking forward to part 2 5*

[@shawtyshawts]

@ChromeDome, if you choose to throw a hatchet at small game, you would first need to be accustomed to the rotation of the hatchet head, with a throwing stick, you need not worry about which end hits your target.

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Yeah... kind of hard to time that one though! Glad you enjoyed the video...!

[@anotheraccount420]

this is the first ever time i ever heard someone talk bout calories in a good way lol

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

I like to leave them dull because it is more surface area that can make contact and carving them can waste precious calories if you are in a survival situation.

[@fletcher0102]

nice should we sharpen both ends?

[@brandonc223]

Yes it only took a minute to make it, however the time it took to find the long, perfectly straight, hardwood branch of just the right thickness, and then find the forked tree will take quite a bit longer than you make it seem.

[@jakesharp9724]

i got my first rabbit using what this guy taught good work man

[@gopher0]

I'm 60 years old we called them Chunking sticks , I have Killed i don't know how many rabbits with this as a kid BUT I would have kept the last part you threw away .. you need the weight on the end I cant argue with you .I just know how it worked for us good post

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Yes... I love it!

[@donze52]

the more primitive you go the less the g men can control you, donze52 films also gives some nice tricks

[@Sheik06]

What's the smalles't lenght that a throwing stick can have to be effective?

[@donze52]

nice video, I like a (Y) shaped design. throw like a boomerang, of course it don't come back but adds weight and spin makes a wider possible hit. HOPE you keep up this info. many will need, as the world goes into another dark ages. donze52 films

[@llllXeallll]

thank you for not dropping your drawers and surprising me lol

[@jmaxpaine]

shouldn't you cut the tip of the throwing stick to make it sharper?

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thanks!

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thank you!!!

U earned a subscriber

[@NotSoLogical]

0:30 pun intended?

[@CanItAlready]

I keep hearing "wrist-size" in bushcraft videos. Whose wrist? The wrist of the person using the tool? Or an average man's wrist?

[@1too3fore]

snare traps use much less energy, too.

[@Bloated_Tony_Danza]

I prefer the other half of the stick you snapped in half last.

[@Xfrond]

@ChromeDrome its not designed for throwing its designed for chopping

[@khalilwali82]

Thnx man

[@NinjaOfDarkEpicness]

Take advantage of that squirrel

[@survivethis101]

you could use it as a club

[@survivethis101]

you could use it as a club before u put on the point

[@USMCmazac]

haha he said crotch!

[@mallardhead]

great

[@buckiemohawk]

hey you ever seen Jeremiah Johnson?

[@1FlamingGaming]

cool

[@teqfrog]

what you have now is a stick. You could have just picked one up off the ground ?? Uh rocks are good also. Lets see you actually catch some live game. Also in a survival situation I would have no qualms about cutting down a growing sapling .

[@s8jljohnson]

@boomunderscore0 yes, you can can have a stick that you can throw and hit shit with

[@1too3fore]

You've burning many more calories holding it and putting into the crotched tree than breaking it with a small hand hatchet.

[@morelandjames]

besides id take out the axe because id rather have an axe than a throwing stick in my opinion i could kill bears with an axe but a throwing stick would limit me to flippin beaver hunting although fun id rather eat a large meal than a ton of small ones plus axes will help with shelter building fire wood making fishing impliments and what not a throwing stick would only help me hunt small game and fish maybe if i could figure out how to see fishes through water jk but seriously break out the axe

[@terrymitchell7736]

I would just made a spear.

[@hypnos315]

Would this take down my mother-in-law?

[@patrickomann3580]

Lmao

[@morelandjames]

this could of been a two minute video without all the things you said about crotches

[@peter2ym8]

A lesson on how to make a stick? Has this guy been watching Monty Python? Whats the pre reading for this course...how to take a dump un-aided?

[@impavitus]

less talk and more throwing please

[@HedgehogLeatherworks]

Thanks!

[@agent-kw4fb]

cool

[@zlatanmustacevic9261]

This is glorious, been searching for "survival kit contents" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ryanzon Survival Genie - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got excellent success with it.
