Chad u are special ; wish i could have ben with u on that video making the bow & all , I didThat when young , u did much better job

The part where they’re spearing the bison is phenomenal! Like you could see that exact thing happening centuries ago.

Clovis hunts were happening thousands of years ago. Bison hunts continued into centuries ago, even though the hunting tools they used changed from the original Clovis equipment used.

I had an adrenaline rush while watching. Specially when all where chasing it and someone shouted to the woman filming that his spear must be somewhere near her. She picked it up while running and continued. Beautiful! Everybody was fully integrated in the hunt - and in its rush.

@@jimajello1028 so i totally get what you mean, I know that these were used by a culture that existed an unfathomably long time ago for regular hoomans like myself to comprehend. It’s just easier to say “hundreds of years ago” instead of giving an exact date, that’s my bad.🤣

This is the most comprehensive & informative video I have ever seen on the history of the Clovis culture in relationship to an actual hunt. A great tool that takes theory & puts it to the test. Very detailed documentation system that is a great value to reconstructive archaeology. Also a wonderful dedicated team of people that worked together. I have spent 20 years on the manufacture and fracture mechanics of Clovis tools using only organic materials. I have had the privilege of studying with Dr. Errett Callahan, Bob Pattern, Bob Winters, Scott Silsby & Jack Cresson. This would make them all very proud of the work & research you have done on this project. Thank you for all your hard work & sharing of your team effort to make this so incredibly informative.

What a tremendous documentary on Clovis, Ryan. What an interesting and illuminating project. Once again I learned more from one of your videos than I did in a semester of anthropology classes lol. The relative effectiveness of small vs large projectile points was particularly fascinating. Congratulations on your and your team’s great work. I hope you submit it to major archeological institutions and universities. You all deserve honorary degrees!

This is an incredible documentary. Television discovery channel quality. Thank you for all your hard work!

Almost my bedtime in UK, LOL. Something to accompany my Sunday 'Full English'. TY Ryan. 👍

When it comes to kinetic energy, you were definitely always correct about smaller projectiles. There's a reason in baseball that corking bats to cheat was a thing- it's a lot more efficient to make a small thing go super fast than it is to make a medium size thing go kind of fast. It's also worth mentioning that the overhand throw is the fastest action a human can perform(the fastest throw in all of nature!), and making the spears massive and heavy completely wastes/negates that strength.

There are limits to everything and points of diminishing returns. How light can you make a spear before it doesn't have sufficient momentum to penetrate a hide? Blow darts are going at a much higher speed than an atlatl dart, but it would lack the mass to deliver that energy into the target. How light can a spear be before it lacks the rigidity to effectively deliver the energy into the target? You can't shoot pool with a piece of rope. I think you are ignoring that Ryan mentions that the longer heavier spears also had more flex and wobble to them, which makes the delivery of the KE in them less efficient in addition to all the other problems they had. The shaft is absorbing some of the energy of impact by bending like a spring rather than forcing the body of the animal to absorb the impact. I am sure if you had darts with the mass of these heavy darts, that were stiffer and had the same shaft diameter of the lighter darts, the heavier darts would have better penetration. "Primitive" people were limited by the physical properties of the materials which were available. Much like Ryan acknowledges with the Ashby Experiments, ancient hunters created the optimal designs for the technology and materials they had at their disposal.

That pack of top predators chasing the prey! Unforgettable, and I wasn't even there.

Unbelievable. What a wonderful demonstration of what it took to thrive back then. It really does take a village. I found the processing section extremely fascinating. You never quite think of all the hands and workflow needed to get the job done. Props to you and your Hunt Primitive tribe and all our ancestors that came before us. ❤

I can’t get over how sharp he can get his skinning blade. It’s so satisfying to watch.

I think that I have been wait ing on this documentary my whole life! Thanks Ryan Gill and Hunt Primitive crew that were involved absolutely amazing !

Not something you see everyday, very interesting. Those spears are massive imagine a huge 🐘 crazy. Cool that health primitive joined in as well.

You're just incredible and to make a Clovis point and hunt with it that's just great... and very impressive

This is fascinating, amazing to see how our ancestors crafted weapons and worked together on a hunt to bring down such a beautiful creature

This is awesome content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Ryan 👍

Watching now. Fantastic. Makes me appreciate my one Clovis even more immensely!

I wish you had been my history teacher would of took more notice found your videos maybe 2 years ago and I've learnt more from you than I did at school

my favorite style points - fluted... ..thank you...

Amazing. Great work. Thank you.

Great job! The most educational thing I've seen. Everyone needs to watch this.

Awesome documentary thanks for all your hard work!

This is absolutely fantastic. Ever since I've found your channel/website I've been entranced.

Outstanding job everyone and thank you for sharing your hunting video and everything else you have shared

Really awesome 👍👍 this is my new addition to my bucket list super jealous haha!!

Wow great for tonight, thank you

Hey Ryan, thanks for this!

I’m glad I’m here so early, thanks Ryan for everything you do I can already tell this is going to be great 🙏

My excitement has now come to fruition! Time to watch

Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your information and adventures in history

This is amazing, fantastic video. Those flint tools were incredibly effective at butchering.

Amazing, great work guys

Ok. This is the greatest documentary i have seen on clovis And i have been flint knapping for 29 years. Good job

This is exactly how I have always pictured the mastodon Hunts in my head. This is really great to see in action

Important stuff. Thankyou!!

Awesome document. Actual hunt and processing, instead armchair experts sharing the general consensus in big production... Super informative and captivating, the hunt footage really got my blood pumping!

Nicely done from Hunt Primitive!

Thank you for videos like these! I love primitive arts and people like you reteaching them just amazes me! I've learned most of my flintknapping skills from you and I thank you very much!

👍good informative hunt

What a tremendous set, top rate craftsmanship

This is the most epic thing I've ever seen in my entire life, and I wish I could give it 1,000,000 likes!!

Amazing film, youre helping more then the guessing games archeologists will play. Putting tools to the test is such an awesome thing to see.

Loved every minute of this.

Fascinating Ryan. As I watched the hunt I could see a real reenactment of what must have been taking place 15000 years ago. I've been around enough bison and cattle to realize the potential danger your hunters were facing and the real danger faced by early hunters. Good entertainment, good information, good job all the way around. Thanks.

Great Documentary!!I boots on the ground always teaches more than theorizing/speculation. I was glad you put this together and shared it for the data’s sake not caring what a certain type of person might say about it. Very important!!

Very cool documentary thank you for doing this

Been waiting for this! Excellent so far!

So excited to watch this. Love it!!!

Absolutely impressive!

Just finished watching, loved this documentary and especially the hunt, that being a group hunt with each member getting a good slice of the action. Would love to see this done again with members armed with atlatl of your previous construction/use on bison or bow and arrow. Really looking forward to the future data set results from this hunt!

awesome, ive been looking for something like this video for years

Fantastic video and very informative. It gives me new prospectives on primitive life.

Been really looking forward to this.

You are so cool, Ryan. Very very cool

Ryan, amazing job as always! Wish I could give you more than 1 thumbs up.

Amazing work!

Your hard work is really advancing our knowledge base of prehistoric man. I like the real world testing done here.

Like stepping back in time love the videos keep it up

Great vidéo thank you !

outstanding video! thank you for posting. subbed.

Outstanding experiment with friends and writing down the data everyone

This is the most bad ass stuff I’ve seen in my 20 years of life.

Bison running away like “I though yall didn’t do this shit anymore”😭😭😭

Probably one of the most historically accurate hunts I've ever seen. Between the team work, communincation and the not so ideal situations going on during the hunt. One can definitely see how very similar if not damn near identical hunts going on since the dawn of our ancestors becoming hunters. But also, Ryan have you heard of the tactacam? They make a head mount that's decently low profile that I feel would give you an awesome POV angle of your future primitive hunts.

Not exactly. These guys were amazing. But compared to real stone age hunters, they were absolute amateurs.

This is wonderful. The point at about 30 minutes in about comically-sized points vs reality from excavations reminds me of a lot of parallels with the late-Medieval & Renaissance. People envision these big, hulking broadswords being used, but during the 1300's -1500's, it was mostly all about narrow, almost awl-like points so that thrusts could make it through thick doublets and all that multi-layered woolen clothing in general. (Wool & linen are a lot harder to cut/pierce through than most would think!)

There is so much wisdome in this video its amazing

The hunting group dynamics are some of the more interesting parts of all of this, and were probably far more similar to what happened in antiquity than many might think. Humans are pack animals, and having recently watched both wolf and lion pride hunting & takedown of large animals, the same pack dynamics were in evidence. That also speaks to why humans were so successful. A pack of relatively slow modern humans still have the instinctual pack hunting behaviors and even with non-optimized pointy sticks can bring down a large animal. Excellent work!

Wow., Amazing. You can clearly see how effective this method was and still is. It almost seems familiar even though I've Never done it

When a very small child, Dad used to take us 'hunting' with him. Just a long walk on the farm lane up the mountain. He carried a shotgun or his Garand (for deer or any hogs we missed in the fall gathering feeders to take to the sale barn), and older brothers .22s. If someone saw a rabbit, turkey, or something lese tasty, they signed to Dad. He would look,and usually shoot. We got to play hound for him LOL, but we learned how to hunt, to stalk, and so on. Before we took out the corn, we hunted that. When I was 8, I was loaned a .22 and we all looked for turkey, deer, and pheasants. Once that was done and everything either being brined or hung in the smoke house, then the corn came off, and truckloads of turnips dug for huckstering. More feeder pigs and the beef cattle went on the field and cereal rye was broadcast under them. Midwinter, with cattle grazing the rye, clover was broadcast and brood cows went on the old hayfields. Deer loved the place and deer fed us so we could sell the feeders to bring in cash. God help Dad if Mom ran out of coffee. You'd swear she was ready to go howl at the moon and take down human prey. That being Dad, of course LOL.

Very nice videos 👍💪😃

thank you!

Incredible!

This is living history and amazing.

The Clovis people were smart & tough. Whatever took them out must have been something powerful. Such a cool channel.

I've seen North 02 refer to HuntPrimitive's content. He's a KZreadr though, probably not an academic, but puts out interesting content.

Just curious, but have you ever thought about investigating other aspects of stone age hunting and living? Like, for example, shelter, and other aspects? I'm thinking about a hunting trip including living, while on the trip, in the stone age immersion.

I'm ready for the next video

Great vid. Idk just a question just like u say the arrow shafts are long gone. With your experience of using these tools are u convinced they used non handled tools or mignt they been able to accomplish more work with handles that are gone?

Pretty cool. As a seasoned hunter of 35 years watching this got me wanting to get a knife in my hand to join in slicing up the kill. Real world techniques, not just literature- nice work!

Nice to see the casts of actual kill sites in a human hand. Makes sense that smaller points would penetrate deeper into the big critters, all you’d need to do is wound them…. Tracking a mammoth seems very doable, especially if it is mortally wounded. Even if it took days to die, the reward would be huge. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.

Question. Have you ever tested the snyder type point? So big and so wide. I dont see the snyder point penetration being very deep. Any ideas why these points were common in the woodland period (hopewell, adina"?

I'm only an hour in and it's yet another amazing video man. Watching you work together made me think how lucky we are that a pack of wolves can't throw an atlatl because that's exactly what this reminds me of lol.

Awesome

great science!

I love this
