Quivers for Primitive Archery/Hunting

Ryan Gill of HuntPrimitive walks through how and why he sets up his quiver for hunting with primitive implements.

All this threat of nuclear attack made me move to new zealand and exploring caves and trying to know how to filter water and air and find cave animals and plants for food. Now I'm trying to know to make primitive knives and such. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. Take care guys.

I’m sort of new to this, but I’m astounded that there are people who still hunt with primitive bows and stone points. Great respect to you who preserve the traditions.

I like to tan my own quivers. Reason being is I like them semi stiff. I like flat quivers like yours. The sides of the quiver collapse against the arrows . even if turned upside down they don't easily fall out. Because the quiver is not real soft the points don't push out of the bottom.

Even if you’re a terrible shot the only reason you’d want more than six or seven shots is if you’re going to war. I don’t see any modern purpose to carrying a dozen or more shots with you when hunting

I'd use rawhide for a liner....I must have made dozens of quivers from every culture. Even a Oetzi type. Mongolian horse quiver. Quilled braintanned Mandan style. My latest is a bear-skin covered birchbark quiver, to honor my germanic ancestry. And I put in cedar sawdust in to the bottom of some of my quivers....so much fun to make

Hey Ryan, wanted to pass on a suggestion to you for your tag line. Educate, Entertain and Inspire. I was thinking Educate, Entertain and Energize as a way to alliterate the tag line and still keep the meaning as Energize is a synonym for Inspire and in keeping with the idea of literary alliteration. Just my 2 cents worth which when adjusted for inflation isn't worth much. 😂🤣😂 p.s. Maybe encourage...IDK

I have heard of people using a primitive belt (sound more complicated than it is to be completely honest) and attaching their quiver to that using the belt as a sort of utility belt adding the pouches to it for the occasional foraging or for the extra bowstring like you do. I have no idea where I saw it but I remember being fascinated by it.

Proof is in the end game. Kills mean success. Gill can make kills. His ideas, Philosophies, gear, and success is evident.

I've found that your favorite quiver choice is the best I've ever used in a hunt. I haven't gone full primitive and still use homemade steel points and modern string. To keep my points sharp I have leather or cardboard booties for the heads. For the carrying strap I have a couple cinch rings so that I can shorten or lengthen the strap and the quiver covers about half the fletching. I've found that the feathers won't crush and I can turn the quiver upside down and the arrows won't fall out. I can wear it at either hip, across both shoulders, or cinch up the strap and carry it like the old traditional over the shoulder. But looking at your setup you've given me an idea or two and my old beat up quiver sure doesn't have the panache yours does. For hunting that sty.e is THE best. I could go on naming its advantages but I'm sure you already know them so I'll shut up. I prefer the old plains Indian knife sheath too, with a few innovations, but I'll shut up about that too.

Thanks for telling the pros and cons of your products. That means a lot, compared to people that never tell the downsides of their equipment.

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Absolutely beautiful work! Really like the fringes

[@ianbruce6515]

Thank you for posting this video. I find all your videos utterly fascinating.

[@nikburisson9-pissedoffpeasant-]

Thank you for covering quivers. I have been wondering what materials to use. Continue to be you friend.

[@knapperdad8666]

Pure geniuse. I’m gonna modify mine like that. 👍🏽

[@CrossRootedForge]

I did a brain tanned coyote much like yours as well as a deer brain tanned. With the deer hide, I used the neck for the bottom keeping it just big enough to keep thi gs from rattling. Gives considerable rigidity even when I do shove arrows in. One thing I I didn't hear you touch base on is the strap length. Really is personal preference, but there are advantages and disadvantages to longer and shorter straps. Next one I make will be more of a horse quiver. I'm trying to remember the gentleman that has done some videos of his findings with traditional mounted archery, but they are well done on purpose of "quiver tails" and length of strap

That's awesome! You are a animal! I'm gonna subscribe! 😎

We need a how to video on a quiver with a bobcat (or similar) skin.

[@drugivens6978]

Can you do a bobcat hunt
