Crafting your gear and successfully hunting two alligators was incredible to watch.
thanks very much. I am glad you enjoyed it!!
I have no doubt that Ryan made good use of the alligators he harvested.
Aligators get together in the morning:
- Did you see how they got Rick?
- No, how?
- Man, you don't even want to know.
Sphere723 ha. I can confirm the atlatl is a sick weapon
@Oxi Clean brother, it’s been too long
@@therealcloroxbleach9408 oh shit bro
That stone hand drill was really cool.
thanks. I have been looking forward to the day when I could use one in the video. You can tell because I gave it a little extra attention..lol
Awesome drill..there’s a cordage attachment you can add to a stick though to make the drill spin more freely,rather than just working your drill bit directly hand to tool contact
This guy and Primitive Technology would be a really nice duo for like a 30 days jungle experiment
These two have been the only legit primitive channels I have found. All the others are like: "Oh, I made a somehow chlorinated and not muddy whatsoever pool out of stuff that I don't plan on showing you."
These guys, hunting primitively, are easily some of the most skilled and effective hunters in the world today. The sheer level of devotion to an in-context primitive hunt is so cool, and i’m sure that any fruits of these hunts are so much sweeter than with many modern ways. I feel as though this is also an extremely humane way to hunt- it just limits the amount of kills you can take, and reeeaaaally makes you consider every strike. Bravo.
If you think killing something with a bow is more humane than a rifle. shoot something with a bow.
Truly a hunt to be proud of! Your skill and knowledge are inspirational.
thanks very much, that is what it is all about. much appreciated!
Hats off to you you’re the man I would have been a little scared doing that out of a canoe but you was steady buddy best alligator hunting I’ve seen
thanks much. I figured the canoe would catch people's attention. Just didn't feel like it would have looked right off a big boat while using an atlatl
This is refreshing to watch in a world where survivalists seem to think that longevity after SHTF is guaranteed by their shopping skills. I have never seen such beautiful contemporary flint knapping as demonstrated here.
Yeah...and all believe they could lone wolf it and become the ultimate survival. My late grandfather actually lived in a time when SHTF actually happened...during Japanese occupation of Malaya and communist insurgency post ww2.
From his experience I've learned that when we need to survive...only a community will succeed...lone survivalist is a walking corpse. You could read recent history like in Chechnya when community had to survive...preppers fan might never survive the real thing.
Nicely explained and demonstrated. Perhaps your most impressive skill, along with the crafting of the tools, is patience in the hunt.
thanks much. Patience was so hard to come by..lol but we tried really hard
Very impressive,, we know someone is going to leave some nasty comments, and then Ryan will Roast you and tear apart your ridiculous philosophy of how this is wrong, keep up the great work Ryan
thanks much. Gators aren't as cute an cuddly as deer so I wonder how many will show up and be as passionate about this one.... once again proving their minds run solely on emotional triggers rather than a standard of belief.. he must die!!!!...
HuntPrimitive there’s always gonna be haters, brother keep at it, I love watching this,
@@huntprimitive9918 recently a vegan burglar (activist) broke into a farm in Spain to save 16 rabbit while killing 100 by doing so...and pregnant rabbits I might add.
I'd like to see them try the same stunt at an alligator farm.
This isn't very impressive. He killed a baby alligator (which could be killed with bare hands) using powerful weapon which gave him even greater advantage.
It would be impressive if he killed normal sized alligator with his bare hands.
@@thehuntermikipl1170 I'd like to see you try to kill one of those nasty buggers with your bare hands
Good job guys congratulations! This is a good representation of what our ancestors would have felt comfortable hunting they would have tried to take pray that could feed the most amount of people with the least amount of risk make sure you ignore all the idiots that will undoubtedly complain and have uninformed opinions about what you have done this is a good experience for you and everyone who has shared it by watching
super Impressive.
thanks much, man
Very impressive hunt. A pleasure to watch. Good work Ryan.
thank you very much!
Amazing! Primitive humans were primitive, not stupid. Great video!
VERY IMPRESSIVE . i wasn't expecting the primitive harpoon to be that effective very well done mate
Who else seen the eyes at 11:15
Great video, one minor quibble. Just finished three books on pre-Columbian people of North America or the Southeast, and all three mention hunting bear and passenger pigeon at night by torchlight.
That's interesting to hear. hard to imagine a bear coming anywhere near any source of fire, but I also know modern man has changed wild animals' fears and behaviors in the last several hundred years too.
Passenger pigeons, like a modern chicken, slept hard in massive flocks - so you could go on in with minimal light and club them in large numbers far easier than trying to kill them on the wing. Not that killing them on the wing was hard, but with them, it was about quantity during the short time they were migrating through your area.
As for bears, you can't sneak a bear. Their sense of smell is too good. Today, we bait them (using that sense of smell against them) to draw them in. Hunting them with torches likely means driving them. Bears are largely diurnal and don't have great night vision. Torches would restrict their vision (light blinding them) and serve as a substantial motivation for driving one into your line of hunters (also, your torches help to avoid friendly fire).
Big or small you still harvested an alligator with a stick out of a canoe!! Impressive!!
Dude, you absolutely amaze me. Congrats and great video
thanks on many levels. it's much appreciated and very glad you enjoyed it.
That is so impressive. You are an amazing hunter!👍
Many awesome things in this video. The stone drill, cord making, the removable arpon point with ge cord... Realy an awesome primitive craft.
I've used a similar rig on giant carp and buffalo fish, and use a float for sure
So sorry I commented before I saw your beautiful little son God bless him and your family keep doing what you feel is close to your heart and make sure you teach him also
Best videos on you tube! Great job Ryan!
thanks buddy
Ryan has the most cheery non intimidating demeanor
Meanwhile the dude takes out bisons and alligators with freakin rocks tied to sticks !
Absolute Legend
haha thanks very much
That closing line! "Algator teef. Sooo cute.
First it's hogs, hogs, hogs, then it's a pair of gators. FWC should give you a medal for the most PITA animals killed. Great video.
Us puerto ricans love yucca we put it's roots in Sancocho and guisados occasionally
@@droh7680 oh I thought it was the root thanx for the clarification
I hope you know how much of a badass you are
haha, I'll allow it. the hunt was tough but not too bad ass. Wresting a 10 footer is real bad ass tho..lol
@@huntprimitive9918 hahaha true. Well, if you decide to spear fight a 10footer and win, I'll cast you a bronze spear in honor of your victory!
"Hold my spear and watch this..." lol I plan in putting in for the permits again next year. If I get drawn, I am going bigger for sure.
Awesome
Hunt Primitive 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I can't stop watching, I'm addicted .. great shots.
excellent! thanks for following along!
Holy cow!! I love primitive hunters! you guys have great skill on both crafting gears and hunting! my Heroes!
I think a pair of PVS-14s (military 3rd generation night vision monocular) would benefit your channel a lot of good when filming at night. Although I just recently discovered your videos a few days ago, I've come to absolutely love everything you're doing here. Keep up the good work and continue being an awesome platform with talented creator(s) who possess a ton of lost skill and knowledge; In my opinion, this is one of the best educational entertainment channels RUclips can possibly offer.
Thanks for the Atlatl video where you said a 1 piece Atlatl at arms length is best, made from a heavy wood.
I made mine with the incorporated spur (drawing an X then carving) out of black palm. It balances with an 8 foot bamboo dart exactly with no need to tie on a stone.
You are a really amazing Hunter you put the hut back in Hunter
Nice expedition! You look like you have excellent balance. If I tried to throw that I would’ve fell out of the boat.
Great Video and Hunt. I really enjoyed the build...Awesome
thanks Jeff
Its amazing work youre living in another era. Saludos de Jalisco México
This is awesome, a real thing of beauty- ethical (if inefficient) hunt!
Another great hunt. Little tip for ya when handling gators or any other animal with sharp teeth, bring some large zip ties, and once heis heads on the lip of the boat zip his mouth shut. Also works well for catch and release animals if you wrap the ziptie in some foam or cloth tape. Its easier to use than tape as you can just snip it off,especialy on a live release.. The trick to using them especialy on your own is to have the loop made and have your arm through it ao that when you grab the snout you can just slide it right down into him.
simply outstanding, I'm entertained, educated and inspired :D
Still very impressive,good meat and good skin for tanning,well done and thank you for the share
This new minecraft update looks very realistic
Super cool, wish I had the patience and skill to build these primitive weapons/ tools.
Thank you Gil for a great video.
Great work Gill. You are an inspiration to all folk that would like to survive. In a world gone mad you are the man I'd like to be with. Move to New Zealand, there is good hunting here and you would be welcome to stay at my ranch. Think about it, then come. Flaxen Saxon.
thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it!
Underrated channel tbh
Congrats once again Ryan! I dare ask what next. Super entertaining and informational!
Thanks Rudy. Have some great stuff coming in the future. One thing in particular is really looking like it is going to come together really well. Stay on the edge of your seat around January.
That's got to be the best gator hunt I've seen . only just found your channel and subbed already now for a lot of watching and learning . thanks . I'm from the UK by the way
thanks very much, I greatly appreciate it. thanks for following along. Hopefully you enjoy my channel and I do plan on having some epic videos in the near future.
Amazing work! If you do this again, could you do a video on butchering and cooking the alligator with primitive tools as well?
Nice work my little boy
is also very curious 👍
Your really humble...4 and 6 feet are something to be proud of.
You are a bad sumbitch Ryan! Have been super excited to see these. You did great as always. Congrats
thanks very much man. I gotta get one as big as the canoe now!!! lol
Great stuff. Really impressive.
thank you!
what i wouldn't give to see Ryan shotgun that white monster can and just go full caveman mode on some frogs with an Atlatl LOLOLOL (but seriously, epic video man, much respect)
Awesome hunt and congratulations !
thanks very much
That's an awesome good. Keep it up. Love reading your articles and watching your videos.
thanks very much. I wouldn't be able to do it without folks like you watching and following along, so thank you!
In Finland they traditionally put metal basket in front of the boat and lit a bonfire in that basket for the lighting purposes. We call this "tuulastus".
(That was before the flashlights were invented)
I don't know if it's still running but there was a show called "naked and afraid" where they dropped contestants off to survive in the wild, but they'd panic or burst into tears if they lost their ferro rod or machete... They never really had anyone on who could actually go from scratch though. Crack a stone, make a their own axe/knives etc and really not be reliant on some sort of modern tool.
this comment section is fairly free of them, but given how many hunting videos have people complaining, it makes you wonder if some peoples life goals are to watch videos they know they will hate just to complain on them
When you were getting a the second one up did you see the big one that was watching you in the background.
I came to comment the same thing 😂 11:20 top left corner
What I find incredibly funny is that you would never expect this average looking guy to be able to create his own weapons and kill an alligator
That's what I thought as well. Looks like he works a regular desk job or something lol.
I didn’t even realize you had went after Gator. You must have had those points scary sharp, as you say, to penetrate them. I agree, a gorge hook would be the preferable method, but where is the challenge in that?
-Aaron
I had to watch it again because holy crap man...
This channel is incredible. I love your passion. Your skill set is phenomenal.
Brilliant concept!! great hunt. love these vids!!
He's like Kristoff and Hans from Frozen combined together.
Edit: Well, at least that's what I saw when seeing you. 🙂
this guy is incredible
I just woke up from a dream I was doing this with a friend while on foot in a murky stream. I ended up dropping the atlatl in the water. I had to use the lance manually on an albino. It was a crazy dream but, I might reenact it.
The Seminol did hunt at night . They made
That thing called Fire . And the had Toches .picth burns . Native Americans. Had fire .
Nice gator buddy
Been a fan eversince. keep up with the great content sir!
thanks very much for following along! You folks make it all possible.
This was awsome. Hope to see more atlatl hunts in the future
thanks. definitely more to come. A really BIG one is slated to take place in January.
That's insane I would have been scared to death,hats off to you that was awesome
thanks much. It's not as scary as you think in the heat of the moment.. more the reaching down in the grass to pull the cord..lol not quite knowing when it is right next to the canoe. exhilarating fun
Good hunt.
thanks much!
soooo cooooool
thanks much
Hey Ryan, thats a cool statue you got there on your canoe. How’d you get it to stand still the whole night? :)
Ryan, are you ever going to do an atlatl deer hunt?
absolutely. It's not legal in my state and still waiting on that perfect missouri connnection where I feel confident in where I am going. it will happen tho. perhaps next year!
Awesome Ryan!
Another great video, good luck on your flintlock hunt this weekend
thanks much. and also, flintlock hunt went great!
@@huntprimitive9918 Yes it looks like it, that was a good size buck. Looking forward to the video.
excellent ..
Kick ass I love your videos keep it up . I want to try it .
thank you. You can definitely try it. practice on some fish first to get a feel for it.
This is so cool id love to do that
Great patience
Awesome!
3 minutes into the vid and I had to stop. Really felt the need to subscribe. Now resuming vid.
Coolest thing I've seen
thanks very much
Hello gill can you do a pressure test of the rope ?
You are one badass hunter Ryan
thanks very much
@@huntprimitive9918 you're welcome I always wanted to hunt with atlatls but I don't know how to make or use one I always wondered how to use one it looks so complicated let alone making and shooting one
I have tutorials on both building and using here on my channel. just type in "HuntPrimitive atlatl" and I am sure it will give you quite a selection. they are a ton of fun to use.
@@huntprimitive9918 Okay thanks how long have you used atlatls you're really good at using them
thank you. I've been pretty serious using them now for going on 3 years. I tinkered with them for a couple years prior until I felt like I really wanted to head that direction.
make 2° video of hunting Alligator pleaseeee
Did you happen to video getting that togole out,? I was disappointed I didn’t see the autopsy.
We're reading from the same book! That was by far one of the best and coolest primitive hunt videos I've seen in a long time. Now for the questions; How long did it take you to make the yucca cordage? I've made a small amount and can appreciate how long it takes. Were the tags super expensive? Was that your little one at the end?
Many thanks for the flint, it knapps beautifully!
Like to see you on tv show alone .you could show them a thing or two
Unbelievably bad ass
Shawn woods was right, great channel!
thanks very much!
We grew up in SE Wisconsin on the edge of wetlands and our dad had my brother and I making boomerangs, bolos, atlatl, and anything else we could make to hunt and it wasn’t looked upon as popular back then but we loved it
All those eyes in the water watching.
You need more subs I can't wait until I get a hunting license
I'm late to the party but you can find some deinosuchus sized gators in Lake Talquin. :)
Okay, so what was the black nightshade berry for, at the beginning of your tooling?
Those gators would be the size you want to take as a hunter. A 12' male might be a bit to manage!
