@zaheercy And shorts. Well, technological culture is very persistent in influencing the aboriginal cultures. Never the less, he hunts the way his ancestors did. Shorts and shoes are irrelevant.
Does anyone know how sheer exhaustion affect the meat quality, that is, the taste and texture as opposed to killing the animal quickly while it still had energy?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wtf is this nigga doin... they got mother fucking supermarkets now go get a job, make some money and buy your food not chase after it like a fucking baboon you fucking monkey looking nigger fuck.
This makes the guy who brings down a deer for its rack, with his camo clothing, a fiberglass and aluminum platform, electronic deer call, GPS and high caliber rifle with a telescopic sight, look pretty pathetic.
This is strangely beautiful and a remarkable display of skill. The tribute to the animal at the end was quite touching.
@phoenix1916 If your philosophy on life is that all so-called "evolution" is beneficial you're pretty delusional so I will assume that is not the case.
You miss the point of my comment, which is hardly that we should all chase down animals in the desert, but rather that this man with no modern equipment achieves the same result as his technologically equipped counterpart, using only his instincts/intelligence and ultimately with more respect for the animal than "sport hunting" which I detest.
@ShawDAMAN Ur infering that im delusional after one statement??/ OK Freud are u telling me the world is better or worse off than 300 years ago, here a thing, scrap ur home, car, computer and creature comforts and go live in the caves with ur spear, see who is the smart man then!!! U can kill and animal much more cleanly now with conventional weapons than this animal which by all accounts looks as if it had a pretty miserable death, ur just a romantic fool!!
@phoenix1916 You're the one who's assuming things here. Notice once again I NEVER SAID THIS MAN SHOULD LITERALLY BE EMULATED. It's really a pity you can't see the point. A 'return' to this way of life is obviously not feasible or desirable for the vast majority of people but are there some admirable things about it? Absolutely, which is all I am saying. The world is certainly better off in some ways than it was 300 years ago but in every way? Not necessarily.......
@ShawDAMAN No i am NOT!! U assumed i was delusional, i believe you it was a remarkable feat, totally agree, but if saying that with todays weapons an animal does not have to be chased to near death for 8 hrs and stabbed through the heart, its simple!!
@phoenix1916 I did not assume you were delusional, but now I will assume you are not reading my comments. I said in fact "I will assume that is NOT the case."
Your observation regarding the level of suffering the animal is subjected to is of course true, at least in part (depends partly on chance and how skilled the man with the weapon is.)
LOL It's like I work for 8hrs then in the end of my shift I pick up tired female coworker to have good drinks. I've been very successfull with Hip-hop & Rap music boom & basically all the female workers dosn't even know eachother that I 've fvcked hard with every girls on the floor at my work. It didn't matter ugly or hot All have to say is you wanna get down? to drunk chick. LOL Every White Girls are simply dumb & really stupid infront of black man's smart mind & big c0ck.
@phoenix1916 and notice AGAIN: I only called out sport hunters in both of my comments. I have no issue with the man who conscientiously brings down a deer with his rifle to put food in the freezer. What I dislike is seeing a person lie in wait for an animal with all his modern equipment and then glory in the kill as if he has accomplished some remarkable thing. There's no need to be such a hothead.
@ShawDAMAN even if you are an in shape athlete who bowhunts with minimalism and utilizes the meat, the antihunters will spare no criticism. Modern society is perverted because we are almost completely outside the circle of Nature and now we stand at the brink of environmental catastrophe and wonder how it all went so terribly wrong...
@ShawDAMAN "well said"...but how does modern man and woman heal the separation? I suggest the philosophy well presented by "The Mother Earth News"...self sufficiency, solar, growing one's own food to an extent, avoiding overt consumerism, and for those who choose, hunting and fishing in appropriate ways. Responsibility vs. the false view there can ever be a free lunch.
@davidleealford HA mother earth news. My dad used to subscribe to that. I remember reading some of the articles, pretty good magazine. I agree with all that, although getting the majority of people to do it is another matter.
@davidleealford personally I do my best to recycle and avoid plastics wherever possible, I have a garden, I do love nature and avoid killing or damaging it almost obsessively (lol) wherever I can. but the limits of the individual are frustrating in this system of things.
@ShawDAMAN that's helpful, but our joyride is a few centuries away (at best) from ending. Only hunting and gathering has withstood the long test of time. Agriculture was the beginning of our end. See "Against the Grain", by Richard Manning. Btw, "sport hunting" is widely misunderstood. Hunting is not a sport, and good hunters enjoy the hunt as hunters have throughout history. It is a chance to take a walk in the pleistocene (to a degree) as opposed to another day in traffic to "the office".
@davidleealford Well, I would partially disagree and say that hunting *shouldn't* be a sport and usually isn't, but some people make it so. I don't think it's wrong to feel a certain sense of satisfaction in a successful hunt and in the general procedure of tracking and being in nature, not at all, as long as your motives for hunting are sound to begin with. I see and know people who "glory" in the kill and are in it more for trophies than meat, that's what I dislike.
@ShawDAMAN yes, and many people who are addicted to porn fetishes may admit love is what they easily prefer. However, I will defend selective hunting as opposed to shooting the first animal that presents an opportunity. Primitive man usually didn't have this luxury or even mindset. Modern man seeks
seeks more hunting and less killing and I think that is more defensible than the contrary, esp. today when most hunters are not seeking to survive but arguably to live authentic lives. (con't)
@davidleealford Well again I mostly agree, :) although I'm having a hard time putting my finger on exactly what you are driving at. But another point in favor of responsible hunting is that honestly, hunting is far more humane than factory produced meat. With hunting, at least the animal will have (generally) lived a natural life and be properly nourished and quickly dispensed with. So again I'm not at all opposed to hunting in principle.....
@ShawDAMAN As removed as most of us are from Nature, we may subconsciously if not consciously recognize admiration of Nature alone, as in hiking or bird watching, still leaves the inner self wanting more.
That quest is for authenticity, the desire to be at least somewhat in the circle of Nature as a participant as opposed to being a mere spectator. Ironically, it is man's alienation that is behind many "bad" hunting practices and questionable behavior (poaching, overt use of technology, etc.).
@davidleealford ..but I stand by my dislike of the insensitive killing for killings sake I sometimes see. It's true that for some 'hiking and bird watching' as you say may not suffice to fill that inner void. It is kind of sad how far removed most of us are from the proverbial 'circle' you allude to.
@ShawDAMAN I also dislike insensitive killing and would probably suk at pest control. Hunting is a big subject, far bigger and more complex than the average person who says "I hate hunters/hunting" realizes.
@davidleealford Hahaha me too. My dad loves gardening and when I was little I used to argue with him over nearly any garden pest he had determined to kill. Sometimes I still do.
Yes hunting is indeed a big subject. Vegans, vegetarians, so called "sport" hunters, responsible hunters, and regular old average omnivorous grocery store shopping people all have their own opinions on it, then there are ethical and procedural aspects as well. It's interesting for sure.
amazing. BUT how does a single man, now exhausted by the hunt, get the meat of the animal back to the tribe which is 8 hrs away?? I gotta say I would still rather hit up a micky d's drive thru
...to another comment. we aren't just descendents of africa mate...we actually have a genetic line that traces directly back to bushmen. they're are the oldest line. mock at our own folly, but we'd only be laughing at ourselves. what they remain able to do in all this modern transition is astonishing. you don't have to like or envy them, but it's in all of our interests simply to respect them, and perhaps afford them the faculty to decide how they wish to remain to live--it hardly effects us...
A continuity issue with the helicopter like that doesnt make it fake.. they couldnt get the helicopter shot of him running down the animal as a helicopter would of disturbed the natural process and scared the animal.. they got the shot after.. the runner was probably not available or eating his well deserved kill..
I used to love this vid that exemplifies the way human used to hunt... but after witnessing a key discrepancy, I don't know whether this footage is real or fake. On all ground chases the sole of the hunter's shoes are black, but in aerial footages the sole of the shoes are white.
The beginning chase starts with aerial but the chase ends on ground.
Was this a double take? Was the kudu actually run down by vehicles/choppers to allow the tribesman to take it down? This footage might be fake :/
Maybe , I just don't see why they would go through all the trouble for this , if it were to be fake . I think it's real , personally . I think some apsects are exaggerated , but when it boils down , I think they do this in real life
I love the ones here talking about I could live like this, I want to live like this...yeah right, 1 week without your PC, and you'd curl up into a ball and cry.
When the rest of the advanced "civilized" worlds collapses due to it's dependency on technology, these guys will be left to carry on the blood line of mankind.
@chippy2414 99.99% of every species that has ever lived has gone extinct. If humanity and our progenitors have any chance of living past the next mass extinction we need technology. Should we lose current technological levels Earth won't have the resources to allow us to reattain it, and thus we will surely and inevitably be wiped out.
@chippy2414 The argument of the video is that their hunting style was previously not unique at all, that it was endurance hunting that defined humanity as we evolved to fit this hunting method. It may be a rare method today, but I don't think its current uniqueness is the best thing to take away from this clip.
i should make a movie using this traditions in it, its characters will be blue tall slim and in a tribe of theyr own, connectin with nature and its family....ooops theres a ready a movie...AVATAR.
@William72087 With our "superior" intelligence, we've almost lost track of who and what we really are, and how we got this point in time. We've become disembodied, almost. These people are living in a harmony with their world we can't understand anymore.
Apparently the fact that we used the same cognitive abilities that evolution says we developed as a result of this sort of running the animal down to produce buildings from the Acropolis to Notre Dame to Empire State Building and philosophy from Plato to Descartes to J Glenn Gray.
Respect & prayer for the animal sacraficing its life is also practiced by the Native American in much the same. So has ALL Aboriginal peoples of the world.
For we all believe we are related, or , interconnected with the life force.
This is how it should be!!!! I so much wish we would have more respect for the creatures that live with us on earth......this man had the respect and the link to the animal that I would so much wish all of us to have......when I read about people who just boast of many animals they can kill with their big guns.....it is all for exitment for them............but it is respect that should be the "non plus ultra"!
@SiggyStern Here here. I would agree. But sadly the world is a manage place We,ve swopped the hunting grounds for mechanisation. Were all just two minutes from a meal or a bottle of milk. fish from the noth atlantic musherooms all year around we forgot what it was to have seasonal foods we have it when we want it....and the only running involved is to get across the street to another shop.
but we would,nt have haft these foods if it was,nt for someone who perpared to catch them or grow them
I think people should be much more aware where the food comes from,I am sure many people know within how most animals are treated but would not really want to know it, few people would be able to kill what they eat.....if they would stop wanting cheap food and such quantities as we eat now,things would change.....but I agree with you ,......still it does not make me stop hoping that people will learn that other creatures deserve respect too,we all have the same mother (Earth)
Yes ! I would vary much agree 100% You know we see every thing as a resauce to be bent and manipulated to our will, So why is it if we are so dam clever why can,t we see this fact. mother give us such a wonderful gift and most people are blind to it when you have time check out home on my channal and watch it, it an hour long but it the most important film you may see.......
I will do that ....I love your films,and there are many on your channel that I have not seen yet.......many people are blind,but I hope that maybe something that they expereince in their lives will open their eyes,they do not know what they are missing,........................
yes! we have to stop seeing animal as a resource like oil or sheel wood or water
we live in a ecosystem just like a rock pool be it a every big one, but one that sustain all life and just as fragile.... we have to come up with somwthing new. or the will be noththing left. and our pool is starting to stagnant. It has happened before and not that long ago on easter island
Yes. You have to feel the rhythm as well as knowing the signs. The trance like state is important also. It is not just about obvious or the apparent, you have to get inside the mind of your prey to discover their next move.
OK GO EASY ON ME PEOPLE!!! UNO HOW WE ALL SUM HOW ORIGINATED FROM AFRICA RIGHT? I SWEAR THAT ASIANS ORIGINATED FROM THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF AFRICAN. THE EYES AND FACIAL FEATURES CAN RESEMBLE THAT OF A ASAIN. LIKE OVER TIME DUE TO THE ENVIROMENT THE HAIR GOES STRAIGHT AND YER COLOUR SHADES DOWN AND MAKES THEM BEOME MORE LIGHTER IN SKIN TEXTURE. THESE PEOPLE ALSO ARENT THE LARGEST BUT PETITE IN AWAY...
@jpourkav running barefoot is more efficient, once you get over the blisters. shoes force you to run in an unnatural way; expensive trainers actually cause more foot/ankle injuries than no shoes at all.
of course, nike heard about this and designed a shoe advertised as like running barefoot, and charged several hundred dollars for what's basically a pair of plastic socks.
@jpourkav Our physical form was in the process of evolving to best fit this method. As soon as our form became good enough to provide enough food for large populations of humans culture and technology begins to develop. With new technology humans stopped using this method, and thus our form stopped evolving around running. It is thus impossible for humanity's defining hunting style (endurance running) to be easy.
At last a documentary showing the courage and respect of a true Warrior. Life with regard for the land and all it's brothers and sisters. Peace to all who may learn from this.
This is one of the single most poetic things I've ever seen. The way they set it up, the way they portray the chase, it's all so primal - one species hunting another species in the millennia-old test of survival. But then at the very end, it shows us the hunter's empathy and compassion and gratitude - the very things that make us human. Absolutely beautiful.
@hans89 Oh my God! Don't be silly. No sneakers? You must be out of your mind. What about the air cushion technology given to us by Nike? Or the Gel technology handed down to us by the Asics Gods? Just kidding, I run barefoot (40-50km per week) and I wouldn't wear shoes at all if society would allow it. I wouldn't run with shoes on if you paid me.
@SuperApparition I try walking barefoot as much as I can now. Recently I tried running barefoot in the forest, what a great experience... So much better than with those blocks on your feet. I'll make it a habit...
@toledz well before the so call civilization came to their village or tribe, they didn't use any shoes nor a shirt and shorts... have u hear of the book "Born to Run"?
What a great video! It brought tears to my eyes. These people are so very much more mentally and spiritually evolved than we are, they didn't have the need for weapons to hunt. Only the mentally "primitive" people needed to develop weapons -- then they are arrogant (also a symptom of low evolution) and think that they are "better" and more evolved . Our biased educational system taught us that the more evolved people developed weapons, but I see that the opposite is true.
@ayemaya75 This is why i dont believe in modern society anymore.
The idea of making lots of money and getting a carreer etc just bore me, and feel like they would be the death of my spirit.
One day i'm leaving it all behind and i'll walk the earth looking for it's most wonderful places and people, to learn and to experience everything our world has to offer.
No money, no car, just me and a backpack and the world.
@SiCDisaster i like your view, and i want that too, but you cant travel the WORLD with no money. Just like these people in the video, they cant travel the whole world by running.
The producers made a large error (likely intentionally, to beef up the "romantic" factor) - that is, the Ju|'hoansi hunt with a slow acting poison. The animal is speared once, and then followed for a day while the hunters wait for it to collapse from the toxin. Still amazing, but not magical ;) I dislike when producers take something real and very intelligent and make it all mystical. It's unnecessary.
They are very, very poor people. Because they are not agriculturalists, but hunter/gatherers they have been pushed out of their lands by farmers... it take a LOT of land to subsist on hunting and gathering. The government supplies them with carbs - rice, milk powder.. . alcohol. If you're looking for a really good book, check out "Healing Makes Our Hearts Happy" it's an AMAZING book - an unbiased un-magical portrayal of how this culture is struggling to remain intact.
@cantabilemuse I agree with you, the hunter/gatherer lifestyle requires a huge amount of area as they are nomadic, just like the migratory animals that they hunt.
Thanks for the recommendation, I might have to check that book out one day.
Everything written is "biased" because it is based on the experiences, values and culture of the person writing it. If the author perceives gatherer/hunters as "poor" based on what that author values as "rich" (such as materialism, easy access to food, etc.), the writings will be based upon that perspective. If the author values other qualities as "rich" such as emotional maturity, compassion, open-heartedness, then these people would be perceived as "rich".
WOW! What kind of a "God" is that? One who doesn't want respect? Or people who believe that God doesn't want respect? Sounds very twisted to me. No wonder our world is becoming increasingly fu-ed up!
I'm just taking a wild guess... Maybe they eat a bit of it then and there, then rest, then cut it up and take what they can to their family... Surely they couldn't take too long as the carcass would be taken over by scavengers.
You are correct, the original inhabitants around the souther tip of adrica are brown, for stateing the obvious. Allthough it is a bit contentious, we used to distinguish between, brown, black and white.
there is so much respect for the animal which will sustain the man life with its meat.
Today we eat and we watch TV, we are completely disconnected from the food, and from the earth that has gave us the food.
I think this the reason why modern man is so sad and lonely, because he lives dosconnected from the earth that had gave him life. anyway, our destiny is to go back where the earth is, happy or not...
And that my friends is a test of endurance. I wish I could be with one of these fellas during a hunt and experience it for myself.....assuming I can keep up with one of them that is, lol WOW, that was magnificent....especially with Sir David Attenborough's narration.....and the last respects paid to the dead animal.....amazing....
try visiting any industrial farm from where most of our meat comes from, its more like life long torture for the animals, and then an industrial, processed death, not so great, I'll take the hunt over that any day.

How can you say that? These wankers running around like idiots. White man invented the car - the beautiful car. These men look like lost Neanderthals. White men would just get in the car, shoot the animal and drive off. And, since the Industrial Revolution, we just go to the shop to buy our food. Of course, these hunting idiots wouldn't know what money was. Peace out.

...to another comment. we aren't just descendents of africa mate...we actually have a genetic line that traces directly back to bushmen. they're are the oldest line. mock at our own folly, but we'd only be laughing at ourselves. what they remain able to do in all this modern transition is astonishing. you don't have to like or envy them, but it's in all of our interests simply to respect them, and perhaps afford them the faculty to decide how they wish to remain to live--it hardly effects us...

I used to love this vid that exemplifies the way human used to hunt... but after witnessing a key discrepancy, I don't know whether this footage is real or fake. On all ground chases the sole of the hunter's shoes are black, but in aerial footages the sole of the shoes are white.
The beginning chase starts with aerial but the chase ends on ground.
Was this a double take? Was the kudu actually run down by vehicles/choppers to allow the tribesman to take it down? This footage might be fake :/

@chippy2414 99.99% of every species that has ever lived has gone extinct. If humanity and our progenitors have any chance of living past the next mass extinction we need technology. Should we lose current technological levels Earth won't have the resources to allow us to reattain it, and thus we will surely and inevitably be wiped out.
SpazzyMcGee1337 11 months ago
@chippy2414 The argument of the video is that their hunting style was previously not unique at all, that it was endurance hunting that defined humanity as we evolved to fit this hunting method. It may be a rare method today, but I don't think its current uniqueness is the best thing to take away from this clip.

but we would,nt have haft these foods if it was,nt for someone who perpared to catch them or grow them

I think people should be much more aware where the food comes from,I am sure many people know within how most animals are treated but would not really want to know it, few people would be able to kill what they eat.....if they would stop wanting cheap food and such quantities as we eat now,things would change.....but I agree with you ,......still it does not make me stop hoping that people will learn that other creatures deserve respect too,we all have the same mother (Earth)

@jpourkav running barefoot is more efficient, once you get over the blisters. shoes force you to run in an unnatural way; expensive trainers actually cause more foot/ankle injuries than no shoes at all.
of course, nike heard about this and designed a shoe advertised as like running barefoot, and charged several hundred dollars for what's basically a pair of plastic socks.

@jpourkav Our physical form was in the process of evolving to best fit this method. As soon as our form became good enough to provide enough food for large populations of humans culture and technology begins to develop. With new technology humans stopped using this method, and thus our form stopped evolving around running. It is thus impossible for humanity's defining hunting style (endurance running) to be easy.

This is one of the single most poetic things I've ever seen. The way they set it up, the way they portray the chase, it's all so primal - one species hunting another species in the millennia-old test of survival. But then at the very end, it shows us the hunter's empathy and compassion and gratitude - the very things that make us human. Absolutely beautiful.

What a great video! It brought tears to my eyes. These people are so very much more mentally and spiritually evolved than we are, they didn't have the need for weapons to hunt. Only the mentally "primitive" people needed to develop weapons -- then they are arrogant (also a symptom of low evolution) and think that they are "better" and more evolved . Our biased educational system taught us that the more evolved people developed weapons, but I see that the opposite is true.

The producers made a large error (likely intentionally, to beef up the "romantic" factor) - that is, the Ju|'hoansi hunt with a slow acting poison. The animal is speared once, and then followed for a day while the hunters wait for it to collapse from the toxin. Still amazing, but not magical ;) I dislike when producers take something real and very intelligent and make it all mystical. It's unnecessary.

They are very, very poor people. Because they are not agriculturalists, but hunter/gatherers they have been pushed out of their lands by farmers... it take a LOT of land to subsist on hunting and gathering. The government supplies them with carbs - rice, milk powder.. . alcohol. If you're looking for a really good book, check out "Healing Makes Our Hearts Happy" it's an AMAZING book - an unbiased un-magical portrayal of how this culture is struggling to remain intact.
cantabilemuse 1 year ago
@cantabilemuse I agree with you, the hunter/gatherer lifestyle requires a huge amount of area as they are nomadic, just like the migratory animals that they hunt.
Thanks for the recommendation, I might have to check that book out one day.
Cheers!

@cantabilemuse
Everything written is "biased" because it is based on the experiences, values and culture of the person writing it. If the author perceives gatherer/hunters as "poor" based on what that author values as "rich" (such as materialism, easy access to food, etc.), the writings will be based upon that perspective. If the author values other qualities as "rich" such as emotional maturity, compassion, open-heartedness, then these people would be perceived as "rich".
