Yeah I know primitive and PVC is sort of an oxymoron, but you all know how I like working with PVC. One way you can support my videos is to support my sponsors, and thanks to Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring this video!

Ok
Lol
NightHawkInLight have Jorge sprave make you something that'll get you a bit more distance...
NightHawkInLight what about harrys shaving
NightHawkInLight what about primitive and steal wool
I like the way you're honest and say where you got the idea
The backyardbowyer Is a cool channel. Nice to see someone give credit where it's due for a change. Really well done!
You must be new here, he always gives credit so no change.
i assume he is speaking about the youtube norm as opposed to Ben's channel
RIPBlueInk I agree! BackyardBower is an awesome channel! He does some cool stuff!!
Bird not included.
aww man guess im not signing up,
i wanted to have a nice bird for dinner
Damn, beat me to it!
My sport teacher at school showed me a way to improve javelin distance, it was just thick string (paracord will do), tie a single knot in one end, wrap it around once so when you pull the string forward the knot jams up, when you throw it the sting easily comes away from the javelin, the taper of the javelin stops the string from slipping.
For your spears you would need something firm behind the fletches, just a ring (pipe coupler section)
I wonder if you can make a version to throw ten of em at the same time... It would be pretty cool like a "portable" medieval fire attack...
Why you might ask?
Cause he can.
The weight of all the spears would reduce the range though...
You could make them smaller
@@blackirish781 Or make a crossbow that shoots them all

Kudos on giving a shout out to one of the original PVC weapon/device makers of youtube.
That was a great throw, you almost hit the camera. :-) Nice property.
Backyard Bowyer is the man.
Last week I attended a seminar included in the German voluntary services. On thursday morning we had a few workshops including one where we could make an atlatl using only a pocket knife. For the spears we bought a few wooden rods and just cut the tip into shape before hardening it in a fire. Finally, we made a small hole in the other end for the atlatl to fit in and added feathers and a bit of ornamentation. For the atlatl itself we searched for a stick in the neighbouring forest, removed the bark and made a few modifications so that it is more comfortable in your hand. And surprisingly, it actually worked rather well!
It really amazed me that the stone age people managed to build something like that with basically just sticks and stones.
The little details in you vids make them so good, like the dishing of the conduit tip and then cutting a slice out of the pvc to slip the conduit over it. Simple but clever its awesome!
throw the fire one at night
Yeah, I was waiting for some night shots. That's pretty much the only reason you would make fire darts I would think. LOL
Your videos always amaze me
BackyardBowyer just gained another subscriber thanks to you.
Now make a head fin and control it with whistles
d a r k n e s s How the fuck ?..?!
it's great to see one of my fav youtube channels get ideas from my other fav youtube channel
Nicely done.
I always enjoy your channel recommendations, thanks!
Aerioc yeah, Backyardbower is worth checking out!
I really like your ideas. They would work for a prepper. With a little modification you could make exploding projectiles.
I used you're steel wool burning projectile trick after seeing it in your slingshot fire arrow video. awesome stuff.
Sweet. I've been subbed to Backyard practically since dirt was invented, but somehow missed his PVC atlatl videos.
Those razors look really nice and high quality.
Well done Ben. Looks like you almost nailed your camera a couple of times. That was close!
I used to make these as a child, a weighted at the front garden cane, with cardboard flights. The throwing device was a knotted shoelace wrapped around the shaft. Could get them to go easily between 120 - 150 feet (just measured on google maps). Took a bit of practice before you could do it without the lace slipping, but great once it worked.
They came out pretty cool mate. I've got to give these a try
Your backyard looks like a great testing facility
Congrats on 1M subs! I hadn't realized it until now. Milestones, Woohoo
Awesome project! Would love to see you throwing these spears at night - that way the "fireworks" look a lot cooler!
Nick makes great videos!
I have the same kind of bird. Her name is Sunny. She is quite lazy though. She won't fly no matter what even though she can. She just sits around and occasionally falls off her branch on to the floor and won't fly back up. Instead, she climbs branches, decorations, and anything else she can climb on to get back on her branch. I still love her though.
Modern primitive tools, neat.
Your bird running around the shaving products xD
Do this at night and make long shutter speed picture. That would look amazing.
your bird is so nice
Primitive Technology Master Race ^^
He deserves more subs
ITS RAINING FIRE , HALELUYA
Have you considered using 4' fiberglass driveway markers as darts? You could warm up a piece of slightly smaller pvc pipe and slide it over the end for a nock. They're cheap and readily available. I think they'd work well because they'd be lighter and more rigid than larger diameter pvc pipe.
That's a pretty good idea, you would just have to find something else to use as the head. You could probably throw a very long distance being as small and light as they are. They may not be stable with a big ball of steel wool on the front though for that same reason.
neat video. I've made an atlatl with wood before I find the best way is to look for the perfect Branch that's already bent the way you need it
Cool video!
Nighthawk>>>>Kipkay
WH250398 Kipkay is garbage now
kikay used to be good back in the day
awesome now that's a good feast
This has to be one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time!
Nice thumbnail, Nice vid
i like u give info for us the reference. very nice sir!
For impact ignition you could attach A 9volt that slides forward when it hits the target
Nice, this is super cool. Liked the video and the bird at the end. Haha.
Very cool project!
would you get better accuracy if the entire pipe was steel and unflexing? Or does that add too much weight? it seems to me that all that wiggling around would make it to unpredictable. Is unflexing even a word?
Possibly you would have better accuracy, but you would need quite an arm to throw a long distance. If you watch slow motion archery videos you'll see that even carbon fiber arrows wiggle around in the air like this, it's just an exaggerated effect with these spears since they are so long and CPVC is especially flexible. Also because the head of the spear is quite heavy, but that is necessary to keep the spear stable in the air.
Maybe add fiberglass rod to the inside of the pipe to add stiffness and a little weight.
The archer's paradox allows for these and other arrows to be accurate even though they wiggle. It's all about math
@@coolsammichherohunter6248 Smarter Every Day has a good slow motion archery video.
Can you test homemade arrowheads? It would be interesting to see how different materials like PCBs, wood and metals compare go eachother.
Also, your vise has an extra lever on its side? Never seen something like that.
Id love to see u do a disc golf video ur in a great posotion to promote the sport u can make it fun showing the physics that effect a disc and add small rocket egines to saw effects of yaw and others
if that fire arrow had hit the slow mo camera i would have LMFAO so hard you would be able to hear it across the sea and back XD
A slight modification to this. It would be cool to mount a 9V battery in the throwing handle with connections at the tip. Then you could run connections from the dart to the steel wool. This way, you could simply pick up the dart, begin to throw it, and the steel wool would light automatically
very interesting and creative content! good job.
3:25 Oh I bet that felt lovely.
Hey Nighthawkinlight! Try pool noodles soaked in a small amount of kerosene at one end of a small piece. I think they would burn and continue to do so long after impact.
I didn't know you had a bird... btw I really love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
If there's ever a zombie apocalypse I'm definitely trynna team up with him
Amazing!
Awesome video as always! :D
Nice job on the thumbnail 👌
Thanks! It took a while to figure out how to make it. Here it is if you'd like it as a wallpaper: i.imgur.com/cmxezsB.jpg And without text: i.imgur.com/0NldRpM.jpg
NightHawkInLight Thanks!
Nice love the videos 👍🏼
when you throwed that spear to the camera I was like....pls dont hit the camera, pls dont.. hahahaha xD
That's Awesome.
haha your parrot is so funny!!!;)
That bird likes that blue tube
Like the music
very cool video.
My grandpa and i made these when I was a little younger, I was terrible at it 😂
whats up! relly good videos!
Hadn't heard of an atlatl before. Had thought the Woomera was unique to Australia.
really good shit!
nice bird
The Atlati is also called a Woomera in Aus. Pretty sure the Abo's didn't use fire darts tho.
You should try building a hydroponic system that uses an airpump and overpressure to operate instead of a conventional waterpump. I've been struggling with my own design._.
like your bird! lol
so i have an idea for a probably unstable version of a fire dart, my version would be to have the tip of the dart steel wool than have in the same pipe that you had covering the end of your arrows a glass canister of kerosene glued in and behind that by a few inches a ball bearing that is snugly but not securely put in place. the idea is that when the arrow hits the steel wool is still burning and the ball bearing comes out of that was holding it breaking the glass and makeing an explosion of glass and kerosene. aside from being extremely dangerous what is your opinion on this design nighthawk?
Wow I can’t believe this guy made dragons breath spears
lawn darts: xtreme edition
I want to see more of the bird.
could you put lantern oil on the steel wool?
Caique Parrot video please!
nice!
If I had money, I'd tell your bird to shut up and take it! XD
Fins? or Flights? They're called flights on darts. Are they also called that on arrows and spears?
Bro, when it landed a foot away from your camera I almost had heart attack.
5:47 ZOOOOOOM
Flattening the thrower is to add rigidity. Like putting a roll-bead on sheet metal.
Flattening in that orientation only puts rigidity in the horizontal direction where there isn't much strain anyway.
NightHawkInLight I don't think that's entirely right. You'll note that Nick flattens the ends of his PVC bows as well, and it's not just esthetic.
flattening it in that orientation more likely adds springiness so you can throw even further
5:45, "don't mind just passing through"
weee, lets set that forest on fireee!!
i'd love to try dollar shave club, but it is only available in the US :(
how is shaving thing connected to spears????
The PVC tube at 1:45 isn't one 1/2" diameter. Possibly 1 and a 1/2".
Dude I have that same model of razor
You're going to get PVC pipes banned in Canada at this rate.
your bird is the only bird i like tbh
I would have ordered the 5$ box, but sadly they dont ship outside of the US :/
You has burd :)
do you own a frisbee golf yard,
I can't believe some one whould let you throw Spears on fire
CAIQUE PARROT!!!!!!!!
