Everyone's talking about how powerful and sturdy their bodies are but I'm more impressed that these dudes can just BITE into the wood like that when he starts carving it
Absolute masters to live as they do with so litte industrial input. Dr. Weston Price would smile at their continued healthy teeth and bodies. "Primitive" is our term for something that is in fact a distillation of thousands upon thousands of years of thriving in the wilderness using minimal inputs from things that nature manifests anyway. Respect!!!
My favorite part of this video is the comments from all the seasonal hunters talking about their "primitive bows" when they likely bought their bows and arrows from Walmart and can only hunt from blinds they need to drive to
Hunter gatherers' archery traditions have fascinated me recently. Everyone at all levels of civilization appreciates good technique and accuracy with a bow.
Nice video for tourists. One got to love how they make traditional bow with store bought paracord. I could be mistaken, it might exist a indigenous "para tree" where it grows in variety of different colors.
modern materials exist now, the hadzabe arent trapped in the stone age. they are wearing modern clothing and their shoes are made from rubber from car tires. paracord is superior to natural bowstring materials such as sinew and rawhide so why wouldn't they use it if their goal is survival and hunting prey successfully?
I think they might have used palm frond fibers pre-contact but I guess modern string is just too convenient to buy in exchange for a few bone necklaces or whatever, compared to how long it takes to make palm frond rope by hand.
The tiller didn't look that good tb honest. But I dont think thats something they care about that much. 9:29 you can see the upper limb has a horrible collapse.
They are arches of a very primitive shape. Cylindrical in shape. And they don't remove the pulp from the center. They are bows like the ones we made ourselves as children. Only obviously more powerful.
The word is bow in English and arc in French, not "arches". These are called self bows, meaning made from a single branch or piece of wood. You DO NOT remove the "pulp" from the center. You do not remove anything from the center.
I have to say Oh hail yes!!! These folk live with lions, leopards, jaguar, rhinos, hypopotomous, hyenas, packs of wild dogs,,,yep, a bow and arrow is better than empty hands,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤
It would be very interesting if people at PSE, Hoyt, and Mathews archery etc. etc. could see this video...Hmmm... Doctor George Whitehead, and I have been shooting bows for 70 years.
Looks like they don’t know anything about tiller, form, release all the things we modern bow hunters worry about. Don’t tell them, they are better off and seem to handle it just fine.
I see a lot of people in the comment section just ignorant probably wouldn't last a week amongst these group of men and that's just facts this is what it looks like when you're of the land and not a slave to it 🧘🏿♀️👐🏿🌞🌋🌊🏹🪶 you can spend weeks making the fanciest bow and arrow and it wouldn't matter without some type of experience or connection to the land
incredible that they make a functioning hunting weight bow using just a thin branch... and the damn thing somehow doesn't break despite having such a pronounced crown. I guess it goes to show just how much leeway you have when making a bow. it might not be the fastest bow or last forever, but if all you need is a knife, a branch and a couple of hours, why bother making something that takes a lot more effort?
Been making " primitive" bows and using them a long long time. Don't let a skinny stick fool ya into thinking it's somehow inadequate to modern machine made computer designed, fiberglass monstrosities . They could shoot a m9dern bow if they could afford the carbon fiber arrows, however, most " modern " hunters couldn't hit the broad side of a elephant with their bows. It's a totally different shooting style than pull hold, wait till Lazer guidance system locks onto critter.
@@loriekaczmarek9788 I also love and make stick bows but you can't say that a modern bow isn't better in all ways but Style and use of natural materials. They have low hand shock, VERY high foot per second that we could never match, they have light draw weight when fully pulled, they have triggers, aimers etc that lets you hit a bullseye at 70 meters! An the perfection of a carbon arrow is way better than most wood ones (bamboo might come close) but also that fact that EVERY arrow is the same makes a huge difference. All that said, I love my self made bow! Still at 100 meters, I would have no chance in a contest.
A lot of hadza bows exceed 70lbs of draw, some even hitting 100lbs, this one is definitely not that weight, but don’t think they are primitive weak bows.

Stripping the bark with his teeth n9t biting the wood
@@Pogonipfr
Anthropological studies demonstrate an average of around 70 pound draw weight
He probably does not eat processed sugar, which ruins your teeth.

This is amazing. I love Tanzania.
Love from Tunisia.
Absolutely amazing all by eye and minimal tools that’s incredible , that is one skilled man - nice one
Wow, thank you
Can you please do a video on how this tribe ties the bowstring literally arou d the bow. It's fascinating
I got lost in Tanzania took a wrong turn and stumbled upon this amazing tribe. Fate really is wonderful
@@Staroy did they twist you up like a pretzel and bum you inside out?
@@aaronmeyler8838 Nah but they did try to feed us some sketchy old meat with flies
I really wanna know how they take care of their teeth they have better teeth than me
No processed suger! I’ve been to Tanzania three times and it still amazes me hoe goog their teeth are
@@joeldale7943 is there more do they use a tooth brush of some sorts also how are the teeth so straight
No sugar...period
A friend who has lived in Malawi talked about the strength of their teeth! She suggested maybe it was the quantity of bone that they ate
Yes jizz does erode the teeth
What kind of tree or staves they are using?

About 8 seconds according to the video, lol.
Wow, perfect bow no shaving to make limbs even to shape it just by shaving the bow until finished.
Idk
The tiller didn't look that good tb honest. But I dont think thats something they care about that much. 9:29 you can see the upper limb has a horrible collapse.
It’s not the bow. it’s the hunter!
@@naturewithandy7204 Try hunting with poor quality bow.
@@tonyjetton8352 Your comment is in essence stating that I am a good hunter thanks!
The stringed bow at the wall of the hut makes me believe that the bows won’t last very long anyway. At least not with that kind of treatment.
I depends, it might last for at least one to four years
What wood are they using in ?😮
وانا اريد ان اعرف
Look like pretty strong bows. Probley why they chose paracord for a string.
They are arches of a very primitive shape. Cylindrical in shape. And they don't remove the pulp from the center. They are bows like the ones we made ourselves as children. Only obviously more powerful.
ولكن من أي نوع من الأشجار يستخرجونها ؟

@@paulhomsy2751 maybe these guys do not remove the center. My self bow is osage and the heartwood is completely removed.

It would be very interesting if people at PSE, Hoyt, and Mathews archery etc. etc. could see this video...Hmmm... Doctor George Whitehead, and I have been shooting bows for 70 years.
Need to know which ropes did they use .......to build arc
This video inspired me to make a similar bow today
The bows made in Europe, the north of the Mediterranean were generally oiled or greased as a final step.
The one to the side looks like it has oil on it.
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to watch this documentary if we didn’t all know Swahili?
Their foot finger are more opened than shoe wearer ppl ones, i guess thats why he can grab the bow with the foot
There's a tiny signs of modern influence but still living traditional way. I just wonder what is their average life span.
60 to 70
They kill with poison arrows. Their bows doesnt need to be strong. Piercing the skin is enough.
Wonderful tool made!

Nice bow
The dude has a proper stubble. How do they shave in the bush?
Blades.
Bic
If they have access to steel knives, iron arrowheads, and paracord, why not shaving blades?

A "good wood" species of appropriate dryness is no doubt the starting point, a green branch won't do. Hasn't developed it's best elasticity yet.
someone knows how much lb do those bows have?
Where do they get the string ??
Animal sinew
Animal sinew plant fiber nylon string in one of the shots a bow strung with paracord was used
@@LryuzakiLN synthetic string is only used if plant fiber or sinew or antelope hide isn't available but is otherwise disliked
Hadzab perfect arms
Отлично!!! 👍
Type off wood ?
Very primative bow. Looks like less than a 30lb draw weight, considering the kinds of wood they have available its pretty self limiting 😢
The bows are strong enough, since most of their hunt is small game.
For larger game they use poison arrows.
A lot of hadza bows exceed 70lbs of draw, some even hitting 100lbs, this one is definitely not that weight, but don’t think they are primitive weak bows.
Yet are more self sufficient than you
@user-xc3yb1vk2e I've made a 50lb bow from raw wood mate but OK, bit of projection going on I think 😅
