Atlatl Effective Hunting Tools

[Theheadhunter1997]

does useing just the two fethers in place of useing the common three fethers make the dart any less accurate???

[trapperjacksurvival]

@Theheadhunter1997 using two feathers does not affect the accuracy of the dart

[Theheadhunter1997]

@trapperjacksurvival thank you, i might start doing it that way then

[OmteZero]

Great point about how the dart needs to flex like a javelin as it flies. Really enjoy your vids.

[crevanify]

WILL U PUT A VID UP ON HOW TO MAKE THAT BOW THAT U SHOW AT THE START

[4micaman]

Jack, you really show us how to think outside of the box. Much appreciated!

[emocircusops]

i still think that the iron and stone spear heads would be better i mean yeah the splinter might go in easier but the others would leave a bigger hole and the animal dies faster

[csmccs]

you are the best man you helped me alot!!!!!!! i will watch all your videos from start to end!!!!!!

[kpienta1027]

i think it is pernunciated at-la-tl

[Theheadhunter1997]

@kpienta1027 it can be said either way

[PghGingerKid]

A pistol was made for only one purpose, self defense.

[kevisere1]

the rock looks more like a turtles head

[Midnighter169]

wood has a low breaking point thats kinda why they invented the bodkin head don't get me wrong you actually know about an atlatl unlike my texas hisstory teacher lol

plus its a dart not a spear my teacher kept saying spear,drove me crazy

[PavirryPe]

Wow, awesome tools man. As simple as possible, yet absolutely deadly.

[SnipAmaTT]

thanks heaps mate,some of the best survival tools ive seen are in your vids..thanks for posting.pure inspiration.keep it up.

[johnramsbottem]

what type of wood would be best fro making regular survival bow?

one that is attainable in Europe?

[trapperjacksurvival]

@johnramsbottem Elm wood,Sycamore,or Fir.

[johnramsbottem]

@trapperjacksurvival thanks... youre video is the most helpful on youtube!!

[5tonyvvvv]

@trapperjacksurvival your vids are the best around..keep up the great work!!

[DrBardo]

@trapperjacksurvival What about yew?

[sharks123456790]

@DrBardo yew is a very expensive wood widely used for gun stocks (according to some websites), so it is to expensive. it would be best if you used Ash, Hickory, Walnut, Black Cherry, Locust or Maple because these are other hardwoods that can be special ordered from lowes. NOTE: this is for a project, NOT FOR IN THE WILD! this is not a survival guide this comment, this is just a fact

[trapperjacksurvival]

@Wargrin last resort hunting tools come from Kmart. I am a wilderness survival expert. the ancient tecnology of tool makingdelivers superior tools from nature no need for drugs friend. The pistol is the same weapon that clint eastwood used in the film The Good The Bad and the Ugly

[Wargrin]

@trapperjacksurvival Sweet. My hunting technique is to wait for an injured animal to walk up to me and perish. I carry knife and fork.

[trapperjacksurvival]

@Wargrin I make the best of all hunting tools, nothing lazy about that. last resort tools come from Kmart, Friend

[LALAKIStro]

hey man cool bow,but i think the cane dart you show at the last secs isnt flexible enough,tho i cant judge exactly cuz you show only a portion of it.but i think its too thick too be flexible,hope im wrong;)

[amm362]

dude i love ur videos there awsoem dont take this to offense but thts not how you say it lol

[johnramsbottem]

@amm362 say what??

[amm362]

@johnramsbottem i told him thts not how you say atlatl

[trapperjacksurvival]

that bow design has incredible strength and is nearly unbreakable. drawing on multiple members, the spring force is compounded. the tapered prods flex without cracking. A simple design,and the tool lasts and functions perfect. choices of wood and cordage can be important. I use Cork Oak prods and honey suckle vine (highly prized for its strength and durability. The Bobobscott design was thoughtfuly engeneered

[blowgunking1994]

is that a colt pocket pistol?

[trapperjacksurvival]

yes i have, tried and tested..

[5tonyvvvv]

@trapperjacksurvival u can get 70LB out of that bow design?

[5tonyvvvv]

@trapperjacksurvival dude those atlatl dart heads are way to big man..your dart will just go right in the ground too huge and heavy..i use small arrowheads for my atlatl darts.and it fly good.

[leftfield80]

is he special ops WTF

[KonstantinKuehn]

hey trapperjack i love this video u totally made me rethink the bow concept! whats the poundage on that bow? im considering mimicking this bow design and would like to know the possible poundage u could get

thanx 5/5

[joe2trees]

Great job Jack. Thanks for doing this project. You did a great job. The bow looked like it had a decent draw weight. I like the use of vines. These

demonstrate what can be made with nothing but what nature will provide. The hot weather is soon gone and maybe you can get out in the bush and do some survival living. I agree with the wooden points(which can be extra hardened in a fire).They can be fitted with flint shards along the edge also. 10/10 !!

[BuzzsawJFB]

Great video! That looks like a sweet project.

[capreolus4]

awesome bow.great idea.thanks.

[OKBushcraft]

Great looking very primitive Penobscot bow 5/5+ at least!

Like the Atl Atl. Like to play with them.

I like using cane darts about 7' long with a good flex in them. Sometimes a rough leafed dogwood shaft. Keep up the vids.

[srusbars]

Looks awesome! I think you should post some video of you hunting with this. :)

Good work, Trapper Jack!!
