How to Make an Atlatl

Спорт

Atlatls are a primitive dart or spear-throwing device. Some states still allow you to hunt with them. Here's how to make a primitive version for survival situations.

    Amazing how simple yet elegant the design is i feel people strongly underestimate the intelligence of primitve cultures

    And people who are very well trained with these are pretty crazy and obviously our ancestors were extremely good with them as they had to be to survive

    In science (and in my patrol skills training), it is taught that technology is confused with mechanization, technology is how an organism applies oneself to something (like a wood pigeon building a nest fit for purpose, able to withstand a storm as long as the tree does, how the bird applies oneself to the stick), not the 'object' that the organism is using. Hunter-gatherers still exist as well, city-folk don't seem to know that they still exist, they just believe in the stigma that it is "primitive".

    Much better than guys using 10k pieces of equipment to make one. When someone wants to learn to make an atlatl they want to know how to make a primitive one.

    @@Christians_outdoorswe have pretty much the same intelligence, the main difference between prehistoric humans and modern humans is environment. Prehistoric humans were forced to adapt and use their natural ingenuity in order to survive. Modern humans have the same intelligence and natural ingenuity, we simply aren’t forced to use it to survive, as we live in an environment that is able accommodate and support us.

    Schrade Uncle Henry... Great knife that dont cost very much.. It's designed as a Skinner but is quite versatile with the exception of bushcraft.. Tho it can be used as such in a pinch.. Many better options out there for a versatile bush knife... Try a K-Bar Becker for outdoor use.. It's the best overall outdoor knife currently in the market that won't break the bank.. Recon Marines use it as standard issue..
