If you're a night owl living with Asian parents this is second nature to you.
Bad President me
B0p G0d lmao
Tf? Yeah, I'm a Night Owl With ONE Asian Parent. So..
Mee

my mom freaks out when i come close to her without making any noise, she get scared and asks how i do this every time, i say that i don't know and it just feels natural to me, then i find this video and realize i've been fox walking for years, that's so cool
Lmao same
Ikr I just saw this and I was like so that’s how im walking and why I’m so quiet
My mom call me a ghost for doing that and im proud of it
wtf saame
Me too!
"Children under the age of 18 attempting anything from this video must be supervised by an adult." Oh no im 17 and fox walking somebody call the police
*You law breaking younglings!*
I've been fox walking for a while
am i supposed to laugh?
Gonna have to take your kneecaps for that
Kids practicing fox walking unsupervised will be going straight to jail and then hell.
Ahh, every single comment is just people showing off how impressive they are for already knowing this
Like he says everyone does it instinctively.
I never knew that I walked like this as a kid. I guess I delevoped this skill after all those years of trying to sneak my way out of trouble and punishments.
Same
I never thought about it before but that is exactly how I walk all the time. I grew up hunting with my father and I guess I copied his way of silent walking. My husband always says he is going to put a bell around my neck lol.

+Julia Campbell Love it!
Julia Campbell I know this post is a year old...but I have always walked silently, I ended up scaring the crud out of everyone walking up on them, so I started carrying my keys on my belt loop. No more scaring people for the most part
Same thing my mom constantly threatens to put a bell on me too.
That's kinky.
fits the name, lmao. campBELL
A lot of people here including myself learned this naturally apparently lol
It's instinctive like he said when walking across the rocks.
I thought I was the only one lmao
Part of being a barefoot kid playing in the dirt. Did it a lot in the Army while stalking in the forest over dried leaves. It became a habit really. Kinda annoyed some people though.
Its in put genes...we were and still are hunters on the inside
Same. I didn’t know I did this until multiple ppl many times said I didn’t make any sound while walking or getting scared when I come
Now the thing that makes people hear me walking is my bone cracking lol
Same
The harder the ground, the softer you have to walk.
So the softer the ground the harder you have to walk

Hey, you natural born teacher. I really liked the Film.
Your Tribe
Thanks a lot for that!
I really like it man ;)
I walk in a sort of personalized version of this. I'm a dancer (ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, musical theatre) and I have very light foot steps, even while running. I tend to walk in a sort of narrow stanced toe-heel pattern.
It looks almost elegant. I remember my sister and other girls constantly being told to keep their legs together, their feet pointing forward, and to put one foot in front of the other when walking - not for survival reasons, but because it looks more polished. Not so us boys! But I walked barefoot on gravel as a child many times, too, and soon learned to do it automatically. It's a good technique.
it feels great when you thought of it before searching

Another way to learn this; grow up in a home with surprise ass whoopings...stealth like a pro.
Yup that’s how I did
I tried doing this while sneaking around the house during the night so i wouldnt wake up my parents
Saaaaaaaammmmmeeeee
filip bodnar same
Wait that's fox walk? That's how I naturally walk. Wow 😁 cool. I walk like my ancestors
@1776 On repeat this was two years ago, what the hell? Also I'm not lying, even if I was or wasn't, I can't really prove it can I?
I used to walk like this when i was trying to be quiet when i was a child. It must have been instinctive then.
I unconsciously do the fox walk when bare foot because it feels more comfortable. Walking barefooted with my heels first hurt my feet so much since there's no thick sole. I always thought it was kinda strange how I'd change the style of my walk but it makes sense now.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that!
His profile pic, I love it and hate it

Animal Man you are a dude! Thanks for this video. I don't just walk anymore. I foxwalk! Everywhere. My achilles problem is clearing up. I didn't think I'd be able to run seriously again. I'm now checking out the ultramarathon calendars in anticipation.
it is because of the way you run, with shoes your talon hit the floor first when it should naturaly be your toes
Over 60 years ago an old true woodsman showed me this. I don't know why I don't do this walk unless I'm out in the country. Usually following animal trails etc. 99% of the time when in the country I'm wearing soft sole moccasins.
Where do you buy your moccasins, Tim? Do they need to be replaced often?
@@oliverdimartino7194 from the Minnetonka company. Mens mid high all leather. Like $60-70 They don’t come waterproof leather but I put a heavy rubbed in coating of spray on waterproofing. I do this like 3 times before I use them and let them dry outside in the shade. As they break in etc I just wear thicker socks. They work fine until the temperature get below freezing. There are some models that have a thin rubber sole which I’m sure would make them last a year or two easily just for hunting
I actually learned how to fox walk by accident when I was bout 10 or so and I do it 24/7 people always said I walked really weird in school but I'd never actually have any sound when I walked
great video and wonderfully well explained. cool anecdote too. thanks!
Glad to find a name for this. We did this in the military for stalking. Not as quiet with boots on though. Got to be such a habit that it wore out the outsides of my boots first. Still do to this day with regular shoes.
That is really neat to hear they teach that in the military. Thanks for watching!
I did this in the driveway barefoot and my mom asked me why I was walking like I had something up my butt. More people need to go outside barefoot. It’s such a good feeling. Especially when you don’t have to worry about bugs in the grass that bite or sting.
So this explains the goofy walk that cartoons do when they are robbing someone
Lol
I did not know what I was doing I just know it works. So it is fox walking. Thanks for that. I like walking on gravel also because of the pressure point I am pressing on. Great vid.
Certainly enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.
My mom and dad have a gravel driveway, I walk across it all the time and it’s actually how me and my two older sisters walk from growing up on a gravel driveway. Growing up in da UP I too run around barefoot most the time except the frigid winter. Funny to think I’ve been doing this the whole time and didn’t know it’s known as the fox walk. Thanks bud
I tried to sneak through the woods wearing boots, but every few seconds there would be a loud snapping sound. It was almost impossible to avoid. But just walking normally with bare feet, not even trying to be quiet, SILENCE!
Enjoyed this!
+XxSilent HaZz Thank you!
Nice Job Animal Man. Much Respect!
+Primitive Skills Thank you so much!
I've learned this naturally (without knowing or searching about it) when i lived in an apartment, I didn't want anyone to know that I was there to avoid human interaction xD
Thanks for this video it was easy to follow and I got this skill after trying it a few times.
You are welcome!
Great job!!!!
Woah thats cool!
I walk barefoot all the time i love it
it’s bad for you
@@kt-wv5kv how?
THANKS I needed this for airsoft
I never knew this was a thing. I usually do this to scare my dad but I always get the belt.
My mother was a model and I just turned out to be a dumb Jarhead, but she talked about how to walk on a runway silently in heels with the same foot movement and it blew my mind! PS: That and learning how to braid hair was pretty dope.
I learned this while going to the kitchen at 2 am
People who live in old apartments and want to be considerate to their neighbors need to watch this video. Just a little bit can go a long way. Most people don't realize how much noise they make when their heel drops.
Hmm. Seems I already do this. I guess I’m just neutrally a quiet person.
You must have quite tough feet the way you go barefoot on that gravel! I am keen on walking barefoot, but I always associate it with warm weather, and I think it's a good way to make the most of the ground being warm in the middle of the summer. I like the way you flex your toes!
calluses and the fox walk help
Wow it works! I was playing a few days ago Hide And Seek in the dark with some kids in the neighbourhood and i wanted to wak silence so THANK YOU❤❤❤
Huh, that's funny. I learned to do this when I was a kid by looking up "how to walk like a ninja" for fun. More than a decade later and it's a almost unconscious thing that I only remember I do when I accidentally freak someone out. Which is often!
*Laughs in bone crack noises*
That's the "Shirt the carparks hot" run after a summers day at the beach! LOL - if your smart you quickly learn to try and walk the straight white lines in the carpark too because they were cooler. Why we didn't put shoes on? I don't know, but kids like a challenge I guess??
+Belinda Weber That's hilarious! Also, I didn't know you called it a "carpark" over there! We say "parking lot" around here.........things like this amuse me
I do this when I’m trying not to make noise at night cuz I usually walk loudly.
Very good explained
Thank you!
Hey thanks!
Thank you
People's saying how they used to do it naturally like I'M JEALOUS
my driveway is made out of rock pieces that were made out of a road a couple years ago my grandpa told his kids to go get tons of rocks in their own barrow and dump it in the driveway i can walk through it barefoot because i do it all the time
Does this help with learning how to forefoot run as well?
Picked this up naturally having to sneak around the house at night😂
i learned this naturally as a kid being barefoot all the time too. persuing primitive skills education as an adult i relearned it.
I think this is the main reason people have knee and back problems. the achilies tendon is your body's shock absorber, when you heel strike you completely negate this function.
I do this when I sneak into the kitchen and back to my room at night😂
I've already been doing this for a long time but I can't do it anymore because of the floors in new house are so squeaky like even the slightest tap will make a squeak
Who's learning this to sneak to the kitchen and take snacks at 3 am?
Do you recommend shoes like vivobarefoot? They say the same thing as you did about modern shoes ruining our feet.
I think this is how I walk barefoot naturally. I've noticed I tend to walk with my heel when I have shoes on and with my toes when barefoot but I'm not quite sure it's Fox Walking.
Thanks, I finally got my ds from my mom’s room
If i know people's who walk without a sound we're dangerous
So if i learn to walk silently? Am i also?
Now its time to sneak a midnight snack
The yuppies watched this video...now, every single one of them grew up walking like this...lol...yuppies!
this was sorta useless cause I all ready walk like this XD
I use to do this at my grandparents when I didn’t wanna put my shoes on, it was a bad choice though xD and they aren’t bits of gravel, there actual sharp big rocks
it is instinctual apparently when us kids tries to not wake up our parents, or avoiding a punishment or a lecture.
I feel like I look like somebody with a prosthetic leg now that I'm attempting this
Thanks very much
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
The worst thing about the fox walk is banging your ankles together ouch.
I think I learned this naturally by walking barefoot on gravel lol
A child leaving their sticks around the house was the reason shoes were made..
in north west usa it to cold to go with out boot on in Arizona even the cold its so worm you can go with out shoes i do been live last 30 years in cold nice not have shoe on
What do you do when you feel with the blade and it *doesn't* feel good? When I'm running in shoes and hit a hole or something, I sort of collapse my leg so it doesn't put any weight on the foot and take a quick step with the other foot. Or are you balanced so well that you just lift your foot up and set it down somewhere else? Does it interrupt your forward motion?
Thanks for the great question! The fox walk is designed for a slow to normal walk. It keeps your body aligned and the stress on the muscles and off the joints. It is a very fluid, efficient way of moving. The motion shouldn't stop if you are doing it right. You feel with the front foot as you put it down and your body weight is on the back foot until you are totally sure the front foot is in a good spot, then you begin to shift your weight forward. If you begin to put the front foot down and it doesn't feel right, you can pivot or slide the foot over, or adjust the pressure to a different part of the foot by using your muscles. I do the same thing as you when I'm trail running to avoid sprained ankles and such! Hope you found this helpful.
Karl K try having a mostly straight back so you’re not leaning forward, this will put most of your weight on your back leg that’s secure. Once your blade hits something you just put your weight back on your back leg and manoeuvre you front leg to somewhere safe. Hope this helps ;)
Ahhh, Tom Brown no?
...and splatter vision.
Tracker School all the way!
So I have been walking like this forever… WHAT
I’ve been doing this for years I didn’t know it was actually a thing lol
I've walked like this my whole life
They way you move your eyebrows is just as interesting as you move your feet
Who’s watching this late at night and y’all perents sleeping
everytime i see the thimb nail for this video i think this guy is wearing baguettes on his feet.
A lot of modern hunters could use this advice !
I can’t walk with out falling over sooo maybe I’ll walk without falling over now wish me luck
did it work?
saves a life after an over break at work
its wierd. its awkward to walk..i mean walk bare foot as an adult. but i remember running barefoot as a kid all summer. but it seemed like it took some time after wearing shoes all school year
it's my guess as to why men are attracted to women in high heels...the strong calves, balance, strength....minus the spiky heel......it's our natural way to be walking on the ball of our foot using the suspension available in the foot to prevent striking motion. those who heel to toe walk often have pain in ankles, knees, hips and back after a few decades of doing this.
I thought he was about to literally say “In New York everyone has footwear! Even the foxes!” 🤣😂🤣 Id love that so goddamn much lol If they made some lunatic bill pass that states ALL animal life MUST be assigned footwear at all times 🤣
I can run on rocks barefooted, maybe even glass, lol
Dude I have been walking like this seance I was born
I naturally walk like this. DAMMIT.
hispanic parents have made me evolved to already do this
i just wanna learn this Just incase i need to use it in time..
Me just trying to figure out how to not make noise when sneaking outback to blaze
Ok got the fox walk down, now how do I get my legs/feet to stop cracking randomly?
That’s my problem too! Can’t go anywhere in the house cause I sound like a skeleton 😂
Now we need a video about treating snake bites
The only way u can fox trot is if u have lots of callus on your feet.
Im asking myself,why i knew this way of walking before i watched this video? Lol
So i don't have gravel driveway, but the best thing I got is a wood chip thing that spans across a wall. I've been practicing, and I have been getting faster walking around it. How the hell do you do it so fast without the fear of getting hurt?
Just watched this and i done walk like it good for me i guess
