I really just need to say that you're one of my favorite channels, the info you give, the lessons, who else makes hour+ long, IN DEPTH instructional videos about primitive hunting FOR FREE, just out of a desire to preserve these beautiful and important techniques, Cheers to you Sir!!!!
thanks very much for the kind words and thanks for followin along
Seems like a productive way to spend the day
But what would children do during those boring times
Just finished watching the whole thing! Dude this is a massive amount if knowledge!
Of but yeah
Of course
Lol
Great video, Ryan. You're one of the rare RUclips instructors who takes the time to include the details, corrections and possible problems that come with crafting primitive hunting tools and equipment. Keep up the excellent work!
thanks very much. and thanks for following along!
@@huntprimitive9918 you deserve more with everything you do who else makes 2 hour raw footage no bullshiting you show everything while being informative
For the last month I've been reading about eastern woodland warriors and their weapons and tactics in war and in the hunt and after deciding to try my hand at primitive hunting and weaponry making I found your channel.. I'm beyond excited to start the process and get my first deer.. thanks for the information man.. your a walking talking history book.. stuffed with hard learned wisdom of hunting the way hunting should be..
You make it look so easy! Wow! Please continue making these videos, the things that you teach are priceless.
This is an incredible wealth of knowledge you're sharing. Very thankful to have found your channel. Putting this all to good use.
Priceless information! Love outdoors and bush crafting, and I find your video worthy of being shared and rewatched. Thanks for the patience and sharing your techniques!
These arrows are not only works of art but a vital survival tools! Love the shirt! Thank you for what you do and the grace with which you share your knowledge with us!
These videos are lifesavers for me as I'm learning how to make primitive bows and arrows and I recently had a customer who's gonna commission me to make him a sinew backed plains bow with arrows and quiver to match. Thanks for all you do Ryan. #MountainManMade
Best video I've seen yet on this topic. Too many others gloss over some of the fine details because they've become second nature. You do an excellent job of explaining it all.
Absolute homerun of a video. Thank you so much for sharing so much information. Picked up a few solid tips in there to improve my own work.
Wow! Epic ending! Can't wait to see that hunt. Thank you.
I love how you show the primitive builds. Your in depth instructions have helped me supplement and/or correct information I've obtained from modern builders trying to make a down and dirty primitive survival kit. I gain more insight into doing it the tried and true way in order to better equip myself for the possibility of the emergency temporary need as well as build my long term planned use kit.
Awesome work.
I'm so proud for you mister,this transfer of knowledge is of great importance. You are a treasure.
That is so cool--it's obvious now just how much time and effort our ancestors put into making precision equipment--their lives depended on it. I think our local tribe here uses a lot of Bois D'Arce(sp?) wood, as it's extremely tough yet flexible--and very attractive in the finished product, a bright, deep golden yellow. Not sure about the arrows though, never thought about it. That final shot--dude, I've ridden most of my life but never had good enough balance to ride bareback much--and you hunted hog riding bareback! Much respect, can't wait to see the rest of that video.
Hi Ryan. I tell you I am watching your videos again, because today I can enjoy them more since I can translate them. In short, it's like seeing them again. Thank you for passing on your knowledge, experiences and adventures. greetings 💪🇦🇷
Truly astonishing! Thank you for making these videos, they really show an extra level of detail!
much appreciated, and thanks for following along on the build process.
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. So much great and useful information! Greatly appreciated! Also the neck knife I bought from you is awesome!
Another great video. At one time, I had my hands on a bundle of arrow shafts made by a modern-day Agaidika. A Shoshone. I didn't have the opportunity to interview him. There were about fifteen unfinished shafts tied into a tight bundle. All had their bark removed. I assumed they stored them like this to keep them straight during storage. Thanks for posting.
Amazing knowledge! Watched so many of your videos- makes me want to get into making some of these cool projects!
Ryan, Thank you for giving a visual demonstration of the entire process that Gemstone Iv has us go through to create our wooden arrows. Placing the fletching on the shafts was particularly helpful for visualizing the process that the game has us compete in about 90 seconds. We get a glue bottle instead of the pitch stick, but the process is still about the same and watching you makes it clear why the game forces us to toss the fletchings and keep the shaft when we fail entirely to get them to stick to the shaft.
Just turned on the notification bell for your channel. You are greatly appreciated greetings from Norway!
thanks very much, I greatly appreciate it!
I always watch any instructions for whatever you are making so that I understand just how to make the end product and by the way I just learned how to make an arrow, THANKS FOR THE INFO ON HOW TO MAKE AN ARROW SHAFT FROM START TO FINISH.Great work and instructions on the how to.
I love watching these kind of videos as they are very helpful for someone who is interested in survival
thank very much for following along
Very happy I found your channel thank you for your knowledge and efforts to share your knowledge.
You can also quick straighten the shafts using a bed of coals. Don't take the bark off and stick them on top of the bed and move them back and forth in the coals, rotating them all the time. Once it starts steaming at the ends, start bending to straighten. They will harden and straighten quickly.
yup for sure
Please make a video
Thanks for making this video Ryan, you are a master at your craft.
Thanks very much and thanks for following along
Easily one of the best things I've ever watched.
Dang, talk about comprehensive! Can't wait to watch the whole thing!
@Dr. Banter what the heck are you talking about?
@Dr. Banter what he's teaching has nothing to do with native American culture. He's literally just showing a way of making an arrow that performs well from stone age technology. Stone age archery is not unique to native Americans.
@Dr. Banter and you're just a troll lol
@Dr. Banter wtf are you you talking about lol
Most excellent format, information! Thank you for sharing your passion! Very well done! I subscribed.
Thanks Ryan. Lots of great tips. I wish I had straightened the shafts that I have just prepared as they dried...
Hey Brian,
You're a great guy with a huuuge knowledge, if I'm ever been to the US I will visit you. Meanwhile I'll teach people here about your knowledge and your RUclips channel. Please keep on, love to see your videos
This entire video with the knowledge and tips is more valuable than all the gold in Fort Knox. this video is a gem. youre a gem. thank you for that highly interesting and informative video
Thank you for making great video, showing how to adapt when things go wrong.
thank you very much. i appreciate it!
The method of straightening the arrow shafts as they dry is the best method. They dry straight they tend to stay straight. Also certain kinds of species I find you cant take the bark off till dry like oceanspray. I also find that if I am just drying the shafts to save for months or yesrs I find its better to keep the bark on. Great work and enjoy yor videos. One craftsmen to other great work
thanks very much. Sparkleberry does really well with the bark on too, especially if a shaft is a little thin and weak, it'll strengthen it up a bit.
Another great job done, you are a fantastic craftsman.
A very cool journey, appealing to our primal selves. Great teacher! ...
By far the most easy to understand the whole process. Like your reuse what you find. Messaged the Indonesian guy on primitive skills to get a tire and watch a video on how to make huaraches but he seems to not be near an old tire
Ive experimented with pine pitch glue and found that mixing in some fibres makes it so much stronger! Pine resin and my pine pitch glue are both very brittle and smash into smitherines if hit but add the fibre like chopped up jute twine and it becomes very strong and I call it Paleo fibre glass!!
Great idea.
Aboriginals in Australia mix grass tree resin with kangaroo poo (any herbivore fibrous poo dry will work.)
Adds fibre and massively increases strength
keep coming back to this videos over and over again. best channel on youtube.
thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it.
@@huntprimitive9918 thank you, I greatly appreciate all the top content and passion you share. I really hope to meet you in person one day and support by buying one of your bows when this stupid crises passes. Primitive regards for you brother and keep it going!
I have been watching a lot of your videos, very well made with lots of great knowledge! It's funny how you use modern technology ( internet, RUclips ) to show how to make things with out any modern technology ironic really😀 great job keep up the good work 😁
The reason you make it look easy is because you have good skill because i know this way of making arrows is very hard for a beginner . Good skills much respect. Will be checking your supplies out soon. Thank you.
thank you very much, I appreciate that
Just imagine spending a whole hour handcrafting one arrow than losing it on the first shot...
No ... Weeks lol
Happens all the time! Part of the fun!
It surely happens to all of us.
Lost artifacts yes.
Every good warrior carried at least 20 arrows at all time...
Great video!
I was "glued" to it from start to finish!!
excellent. thanks very much
Man, you are an ARTIST! Beautiful!
thank you very much
Great vid! Huge amount of knowledge shared. I look forward to the pig hunt vid. Thank you so much for all you do.
Great video Ryan, I really enjoyed the jig to burn the feathers. Congratulations!
thanks buddy. i really enjoy these builds. Time and business doesn't often allow for the true stone age builds.
@@huntprimitive9918 does sparkleberry grow long enough for atlatl darts? And have you used them?
@@tonymaurice4157 yes sometimes but not super common. My suggestion is to splice them together like I do in the atlatl spear splicing video
I like you, man! Your tribe is blessed to have you. ✌
Are you native brothaman?
Great tutorial! Very helpful. Thank you.
Now this is awesome. I just spent 4 days in north eastern Utah exploring Fremont Indian petroglyphs. Seeing all of them I could imagine them hunting wit bow and arrows and atlatl.
Another fantastic demonstration.
Real hunting,not that modern ambush that I see going on here. Thanks for the video. Great teacher.
What a great video, very informative, thank you.
Really loved this, will inspire me to make my own.
Great video! Nice work, and very interesting!
Beautiful work. Thanks.
Great video. I learned a lot. Have you made a video showing you going out in the woods and picking and cutting your shafts? I think I would find that helpful. Thanks.
Been saving turkey feather parts for quite a few years, so have plenty for fletching making practice.
Random tip of advice:burn the fletching yo size rather than cut.
@@justicekaton9199 that's what he is doing in the video:))
I've had really good results using wild rose shoots. I've also just discovered a bunch of arrowwood viburnum on my property.
Brilliant! Really very helpful!
enjoyed that thankyou read about it,never seen done pretty kool,love hunting and bows,had passion for it my entire life,think you as well.
First hour long video I’ve ever watched. Good stuff
thanks very much
Great tutorial,astonished by your fire making. Iv tried many times and failed. Respect.👍
Depending on the feather you can strip it off and skip the scraping completely. I think soaking the quill helps maybe even steaming. But the results are a SUPER paper thin quill base with the feathers all still attached. I noticed this process works best on feathers I worked on after a rain. Also there is a risk reward process that you could end up ruining the fletching if it splits on you.
im supposed to being doing university work looking at neolithic methods of flint knapping. it wasnt a long jump to make it here, but im glad i did.
thanks much. One piece that may help is my video "Newnan" . I really work through some early knapping and hafting methods
Amazing work! I am so glad to have found your channel as history is something I absolutely love and learning of the roots from which we came. Also such wonderful skills for survival! I do have a question though too, the shafts you acquired, were they branches, or were they saplings, or something else?
Also thank you so much for all of this teaching!
Wow that is amazing detailed video,👍👌
those bison skinners are awesome man! i have to get one of these to go with my bow!
Man great video I love this kind of content. Also an awesome finished product.
thanks very much
Damn nice arrow head
@@chieflongsmoke3672 did you mean my avatar picture? If so thank you appreciate it I made it
@@North_Florida_Knapping um shure 😂 if thats a nother name for an arrowhead
@@chieflongsmoke3672 thats what some people call a profile picture sorry haha thats what I meant 😅
Video is informative and entertaining!
very!!! good informative video sir, thank you kindly
Good teaching!!
That's really cool you have it down to an art....
I use alot of dog wood also known as red osier as my arrow shafts works great never had issues with it and very plentiful way up here almost arrow straight right from the ground.
Awesome video thank you very much
What a great vid, thanks man
You're on my team for the apocalypse!
Dang man... I live in Texas in the hill country and I found my first arrowhead at a creek. I said to myself I can make this. There's flint ALL OVER my area. I haven't made any points im proud of but I'm trying lol you inspire me as well. I need to order a knapping kit from you because the copper cap I put on a billet keeps falling of lol
dude this video was awesome..funny thing is i had 10 arrow shafts that i collected about 4 days ago so i followed along with the straightening part and made them pretty straight right off the get go now i should have less heat straightening to do
I've watched this a few times just because I love the craft and I never realized that something runs right onto your hand when you pick up your little work bench.
You have such and awesome channel my dude!
Awesome vid!
Thanks for sharing this will try have already but this will help.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Do you have a video tutorial for your pitch glue? I am curious what your ratios are.
Fantastic Ryan. You are the man.
Far be it from me to argue with Ishi, but I have much better results when I go ahead and scorch shoot or sucker shafts slightly. It is very important not to get it too dark brown, and it is important that it takes more time, rather than less, to scorch it. Over a short section, 45 seconds is much better than 15 seconds, even if the color ends up the same.
Excellent video.
much appreciated!4
jesus christ that arrow looks flawless (and flies probably very very well). You are the proof skills and knowledge will make up for a lack of tools
Fantastic! Master Class!
Very good info.thankyou
I doubt I will ever make an arrow, but I enjoyed every minute of the video.
thank you very much!
Love your channel dawg
Y’all think you can do some more flintnapping tutorials? I’m having a real hard time with that. Please make some beer bottle arrows.
Thank you. I will actually post the full process of making the point for this arrow in a few days or sometime next week
Nice bro
Top-quality content.
You're the Bob Ross of primitive arrows.
Or Bob Ross is the Ryan Gill of painting :D Not sure if snake tastes like chicken or chicken tastes like snake :D
Thanks for this really good vid
Very Very good Vid Ryan,
thanks buddy
I once made ten or so arrows out of wild rose that I found. I spent a month straightening, tying them into a bundle and drying them, taking them out straightening them, and repeating until they were dried. Then I made some arrows out of them, shot them a couple of times and forgot about them. A week later and all of them were once again curvy. After that I stuck to bamboo for arrows. much easier to make and maintain.
very good video ..
I wish you’d test one of the arrows on that squirrel barking in the background
they were definitely quite noisy at times
@@huntprimitive9918 I got up and closed my garage door...I thought that little guy was in my driveway.
Dan Jefferson you have a badass profile pic I cant help but wounder are you native amercian brotha man?
Great Video...
Especially Loved the bit at the End... if that Horse is like some Horses I've known... The Horse Loves the Chase as much as you do, and may get Pissed if you miss your Shot.
I've also known a Dog or two that would get Irate if you missed your shot, come to think on it.
Thank you so much
