Bolas: Primitive Hunting Weapon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Bolas (or boleadoras) is a primitive hunting weapon that was used by American natives. It consists of three solid balls at the end of three cords that are joined together at the opposite end, however bolas can have two and even more than three balls. Bolas can be made with a variety of natural materials and are a good choice in a survival situation because of their simplicity and effectiveness.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
I do. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share exactly where I go.
Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently and collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).

Chad, I love how you act like the first person to discover these sorts of things in your videos. I always get a kick, lol!
First time I see one of your videos and I'm already a subscriber! In Argentina, we call them boleadoras, both native peoples and gauchos used them for hunting, catching cattle, and as a weapon. From what I've seen, cordage here is usually longer, about 3 feet or more. That's probably the reason why you feel more comfortable with longer rope. Looking forward to seeing the second part!
Yes, they are known as boleadoras in your country. I'm going to make the cordage longer like you said.
Hi Rafa! You seem like you know a lot about bolas. I'm trying to learn bola throwing with 2 weights instead of 3, but I'm having a hard time finding guides or tutorials. Would you be able to help? :)
He’s going to kill the enter dragon with that
Yes, I know it’s *enter* dragon, that was intentional because I said so, and I’m too lazy to fix it lol ok by
enter dragon? thats must be a new update
Minecratf hd,no enter dragon,this new update
Sandakan Bandara I did it because Minecraft
*OoF*
Minecraft 😂😂😂
Chad, you got it all wong, man !
I'm from Brazil and at the south we have the "gaúcho" culture that uses "boleadeiras" for centurys.
It came from many different indian tribes that used it for hunting and for war.
To throw it, you never hold at the meadle of the strings like you did.
You must hold the boleadeira by one of the stones and swing the other two over your head, get momentum and let it go.
The precision will be much better and the span of the stones flying will be the double.
Hmm, yeah I still have to practice. I have seen it done both ways but if you say that the traditional way is like you said then I will practice that.
American indians grabbed from the middle of the string to increase the kinetic energy upon impact and that also increases range how ever grabbing it on the stones so that the string is loose in theory may be slightly more accurate and farther it's a trade off as you get less of a tangle meaning the bird gets away much easier due to the loss of the kinetic energy and the shock to the animal bolas can also be made out of wood to for water fowl such as ducks and geese either way both work it's just up to the user which way to throw it and how strong the user is there is no right or wrong way to use it
@@Gay_Nigga_Hoodmoments Exactly! You tweak the design and technique depending on the game, or else use what's most familiar. What works best for cattle may not be ideal for duck, but the main thing is hitting the target.
@@kevingray4980 Keving: You have the right idea. The bola lasts longer if you throw it by the knot rather than one of the weights, and you have more control and a wider target if one of the lanyards is shorter than the other two. There are a lot of anachronisms in the vid, the main one is that this really does not work well in woods or brush, and is used mostly in open savanna, tundra, or grasslands.

The best part of Chad's video is the intro and outro music. I am in love with it 🔥
LMAOOOOOO AT 2:22 When he was throwing the rock at the post and missed, he was so disappointed 💀💀💀

Cool weapon. I love watching u so much. This is kinda like a stone age story and how people slowly evolved. This is awesome man.
Класно! 👍

I would like to thank you Mr. Zuber, your desert adventure has helped me envision a nomadic desert life for my writing. (I'm a aspiring fantasy writer.) Your videos have been informative and inspirational. Thank you!!
Nice, what's this book called? I'm something of a writer myself. I enjoy writing tragedies.
Have u wrote it if so whats it called?

How to trap ur siplings for 30 seconds 101
arent they normally thrown by swinging them on one stone and then releasing them so they can spread up nicely and still rotate to tangle around the legs of your pray? Just asking...
Ark much
Well, depends on what you want to do. If you throw them the way you described it, they spread up twice as far, as you said, but it's really hard to control them and your range is only about two thirds since you'd have to put more force into it for the one bola in your hand. There were some native tribes which used to throw their bolas that way, but this wasn't the case for every single animal they were hunting.
.
An easier technique is to throw the bolas like he did, but without letting them spin arround your head that often. One additional spin is okay (if you're advanced already) in order to gain more force, after that it's just getting harder to control them and therefore a lot harder to hit your target. Just hold the bolas at the end of the rope with your prefered hand and the weights with your other hand. Then give the weights a little push upwards, swing the bolas once arround your head and release them after one full spin. This technique is - as I already mentioned - a lot more accurate and your range is increased due to more weight at the end of the ropes, which benefits centrifugal force in terms of acceleration. You probably wouldn't use that technique when hunting big animals like horses or something like that though, since the spread is not enough to catch two legs at a time.
you will be happy to know that bolas are still used in tribal and mountain areas of Pakistan just to keep the old tradition alive!! yet another hit presentation 😇👍👍👍
I love the belt lol. Reminds of my grandfather's belt.
Might be misunderstood
This is the real survival
btw when did you come home
So good health chad
Me encantan tus vídeos sigue asi gran hombre
De pura casualidad estaba por ver el anterior video y llega la notificacion!

Quick question, but where does my guy actually live like does he actually live like a caveman. Mad respect if he does
well he has to charge the camera somehow
Lmao
No.
No, it's more of a hobby he definitely doesn't just lives in the wilds
Personally I think he is amazing. Scoff ye not ye peasants. This man is exceedingly intelligent, imaginative and skilful.
It's amazing that they figured out time travel and invisibility to videotape the creation of the bolas.
Wow que buenos gráficos tiene el ark!

Everybody: Can make it homemade with primitive technology for free. Survival technique
Ebay: Sells Bolas for 50 dollars
For the boleadora to work correctly, hold a ball with your left hand and with the other hand turn the rest from the central knot. When you release you must try to direct the central knot at the target and release both hands, you will see how the ropes unfold. and rotate about the central knot, covering more impact area.
Super
My lunatic uncle was so sick with his bolas lol. I want to say he had only two of them but they were almost identical, and I’m almost certain they had just two weights. He would hold one weight to swing and throw it, and the drunker he got the faster you’d have to run to not get face-planted because he was unbelievably good at timing his throw to hit you when you were mid-stride so that both legs were as close together as possible. He told us some cartoonish story as to how he crafted them and learned that skill but it was admittedly fkin awesome lol.
Are you serious? Did you get taken down with those bolas before?
Great video Chad! I've seen South American natives taking the bolas from one of the stones, not the center, and doing just one circle over the head, to throw it the right direction.
in the 1970's I saw a man take down ostrich at a full run using these. He tagged then and let them go. cool video. thanks
Soy Argentino y nunca cace con boleadoras pero si jugué con ellas. No se arrojan sosteniéndolas del punto medio, se arrojan sosteniéndola de una bola (que suele ser en forma de gota para mejor agarre) . La idea es que giren en el aire y se enreden en las patas de la presa, por eso suelen tener de 3 a 4 mts de diámetro (o mas dependiendo de la presa) . Hay una versión que se llama Bola loca o Pampa, que consiste en una sola bola y la idea es impactar con la bola a la presa.
There's a third technique to make them, but it requires a bone or wood needle, getting yarn from some animal like an alpaca (or perhaps flax or similar fine fibers?), and needle-binding an enclosure over the stone, clay, or metal weights. Then you weave strings through that enclosure which anchors them very securely, and then twist those strings into the tether cords. Rest is just knots, or for finer quality - splicing. Only thing is the "woven" version may be a bit more time intensive than some other approaches, and such would be found from cultures already known for their textile work.
If you hold one weight back with the knot and then throw it it will open up better
Yeah, I experimented with this. You are right.
0:09 Ohh, Chad is really good with bolas

Not just amazing crafting but what an amazing video I love that we are able to see your natural progression of thought 💯💯💯💯
Saludos de Perú
Saludos para ti amigo!
i use to have real boleadoras (not the one sold as ornament or torist souvenir) cordage was of leather and not less than 6 feet from bola to bola. Also from the center two bolas rope are shorter than one. Thats because they were also used as a defense weapon, you trap the long rope bola betwen foot finger and use the other two to swing and hit the attacker. bolas are made of heavy stone about 8 cm diameter with the rock carved where the rope cyrcle, They are thore with good elastic leather wet in that part so they strech when they dry, i used even on horses as a kid.
Awesome! Bolas..

Greetings to you my friend!
Welcome
Hace mucho no veía un vídeo tuyo bro, realmente haces cosas impresionantes. Gracias por el tip de como cortar pieles demasiado gruesas con tan solo dos piedras
I always found it very ingenious how much thought went into making ancient human life possible. Like I would never be able to turn grass into long strands and then think of what to use to make a bola. Or even something like an atle atle let alone a primitive bow. Like you really have to understand the concepts/world around you to understand how make those.
I used to made one when i was a kid..i saw it on old movies so i decided to make one
When you’ve played to much Ark....
- Harvested a bunch of meat and fish
- Ichthyornis swoops in and noms it all
- Bola it out of the sky
- Club the heck out of it

Never thought of making the weights it of clay. Learned something today. Thank you!
really beautiful camera angles, and shots in this one, great work!❤❤

For a primitive man he has great camera quality
Good vídeo,thanks

Thank you! I'm learning.

yessssssss
You were first!!!
advice, the aboriginal Tehuelches doubles the length of the ropes and the size of the balls and holds a ball to be thrown, you will see how the balls separate during the flight and cover more space achieving better aim
