  • I was going to ask about the pine pitch glue being any good for attaching arrow head and feathers but I got my answer in the video thanks.

  • @DavidTheDefender Thanks, add a little wild rabbit or deer dung to your pitch and maybe a little white fire ash to make it less brittle.....play around with the mixture until you find what is best.....it is strong and very useful if made well...also glue made from the skin of a deer makes a great glue also.....combine the two glues when you haft a point and sinew wrap....you will have a solid bond!

  • Just ordered! :) This is exactly the kind of video I've been looking for. I'll probably be buying the newer vids when they come out, so long as I think real good time and effort was put into making them very useful and informative as possible.

  • id love to live like that

  • Its unfortunate i will be gonig to college 4 years next fall...I feel like i wont have any time to practice these skills and I will lose interest...any suggestions? Is there any clubs i should look into?

  • @OakRidgePrimitives You want lose interest if your heart is in it! Thanks

  • @OakRidgePrimitives College is a great place to practice H/G skills... just consider that near-campus game will be smaller-- rabbits, squirrels, etc. And you may have to forage from gardens and edible landscaping--- find a local park on or near campus. You can use these skills to supplement Ramen dinners... :-P Plus depending on location you may be able to save a fortune on rent by constructing your own shelter.... and earn extra credit in all of your pre-history courses. :-D

  • cody lundin

  • What are southeastern primitive techniques in bowfishing?

  • @PWArchery Varied techniques, shooting long cane arrows without string or cord attached...the arrows have a variety of point types for different situations.... i will film this so all can see and learn.......it will be on a dvd in time.

  • I REALLY enjoyed the video, and since I have tons of leather, wood, stone and fire-making equipment, I plan on doing this someday. Thanks.

  • makes me want to give up agriculture and go back to hunting and gathering.

  • Your not a man until you go on a full fledged traditional hunt lol I just got done making some 2 Fletch cane arrows for this bow season! Great Video.

  • @KentahtenAyawisgi are u gonna hunt deer with a bow you made yurself ?

  • @joec123able Def. will be this year, As of now I will be hunting with my 62" Hickory Cherokee bow I made, but I am trying to get the time and make a new bow..probally end up using a my black locust stave or another hickory..

  • @KentahtenAyawisgi how many pounds is the cherokee bow ?and also goodluck this year

  • @joec123able My bow is about 55lbs @ 27 inches and Thanks!

  • @KentahtenAyawisgi :) no problem nd you will easilly kill a deer with that

  • @joec123able I sure hope so, Im in need for new mocassins and leggings :) haha Take Care!

  • thats the live

  • @MegaPoPcorner2 Thanks!

  • @BeckumOutdoors Not to be mean, but thats kinda disturbing I know im stupid for being judgemental but just look at the pour thing. it kinda makes me sad when i see 6:51 . Pour animals cant live in peace these days...

  • @gothicgwen1990 Animals don't live in peace with each other. They kill and eat each other...deer fight to the death and a doe deer will bite and kick another doe with no mercy. We hunt and do not relish the kill.

    Man does not kill the moose no matter how powerful the bow...nature kills him...Big Thunder Wabanaki Algonquin !

  • how many pounds was the bow u killed the deer wit

  • @joec123able  58 pounds....i shoot a 52 pound D bow now....can't wait to take a deer with it this year! That D bow killed 3 deer the first year i used it!

  • @BeckumOutdoors by D bow u mean it bends through the handle and looks like a D right? but good luck didu make them ur self?

  • @watertothepeople i really want it

  • Ok thanks alot!

  • Please upload this to Amazon Instant Video!

  • is hickory and bodart good to make bows with and what are some other else is good to make a bow with

  • @jccrick123 Lots of trees, the list is very long....go to PaleoPlanet, they have a very good list of bow woods from all over the U.S ...it is a cool site anyway.

  • Comment removed

  • @joec123able Hickory and Osage is my favorite........lots of trees will make great bows, just make a bow from them to see!

  • @joec123able Check out the bow wood list on PaleoPlanet!

  • Man, good ol' southeast Georgia... a great place! We have a beautiful state indeed!

  • @Pilotusmc2 Oh yes we do, but it is getting a little too crowded like Florida, too many people moving here! I want my state back!

  • I want to live hunter gatherer its a nice simple life i might try start a tribe and honestly id rather live in a hut i made myself cook food i killed myself with my own tools rather than do some job that is boring as hell and then use magic currency to make others do things for me i dont know how im gonna but ill try do this not sure how but im dedicated and just as my ancestors did so will i belong to the land

  • @UTFRG I just want to retire and get away from the crowd..fish, hunt, and practise primitive!

  • @UTFRG I have done it, Its great to live in the woods, and learn the ancient skills!. Most People to are useless morons.. sheep! They dont have the patients to slow down, and understand and the spirit nature. I mean people lose it when there cell phone breaks..lol ..kids today just play video games and play on computers!. or watch sports all day!.The average person you know would be dead in a week in the wild!

  • @UTFRG that sentence made no sense i killed myself with my own tools rofl

  • @UTFRG yeah until It starts to rain and snow, and you cant light a fire, yer scunnerd mate

  • @UTFRG In that case we both can do it together

  • @UTFRG I agree but nobody wants to live this way anymore, People today are obsessed with money and being in rush, thats why we are all sick and dying!

  • bow and arrows are the coolest wepons ever made!!

  • @joec123able Hunting with a weapon that predates recorded history is very cool!

  • @BeckumOutdoors i agree!!! such as a bow tht u mke ur self

  • @joec123able Screw that ima use a woomera its so ledgendary you wont know what it is probably less than 500 people do go ahead google it YOU WONT FIND ANYTHING

  • @UTFRG so wat is it then

  • i cant get enough of this video. im ordering it now...

  • @danthman114 Thanks and good luck!

  • I purchased your DVD about a year ago and Loved it the first time I watched it. Since then I have made my own bow. My string is of Dacron though and I just planted a flower box full of Flax seeds in order to try and process it into linen to make a more primitive string for my bow. Thank you for your superior customer service, and thank you for the holiday card. Can't wait to see another video from you guys.

  • this video just makes you want to go out into the woods and donsomething that is primitive

  • @eagleplayer84  You can!

  • many people have told me that all I will do is injure a deer with bows and arrows like these. then last hunting season, there were about 6 guys around my house that used very high tech compounds with the best arrows and still only wounded the deer and never found them. I personally still feel that this primitive way is the best way to hunt. I have still never gotten a deer with this method but if the oppurtunity throws itself out there, I feel very confident. Thank you for your advice.

  • @wakaigan There is a lack of knowledge with most people on the use and effective quality of a self bow and arrow! They are deadly but how would someone know this who has no experience. Most modern people talk to much and listen very little! Let them keep paying for everything they use in the field, remember you can't buy experience.

  • @BeckumOutdoors Word's of wisdom

  • @BeckumOutdoors You a legendary woodsmen! or should I say Tribesmen!

  • i wish more people would live like this, i personaly want to live like this not just because i want to promote native american culture (in my opinion the indigenous people who should really be living like they 500 years ago) it's because i want to save the environment, and this is the best way to do it

  • @64thev9 You can!

  • @BeckumOutdoors thats exactly it, we can, but other folk just wont, if we truly want to save the earth and the indigenous way of life, we have to live like the indigenous people lived

  • what part of georgia you from?

  • @wildpanthercutlery Savannah River east coast!

  • @BeckumOutdoors sweet i live close to the occonnee in laurens county

  • @wildpanthercutlery Great place Laurens county, i am a native Georgian and proud of it!

  • I was just wondering if its legal to hunt with stone arrowheads, I dont know where you are from but i know here in NY theres a ton of regulations about the proper arrowheads to use. And im not criticizing you or what you do I was just curious and would maybe one day (if legal) give it a try.

  • @ToroToker Yes, stone points are legal in my home state of Georgia! Seems like the New England states would like to regulate everything, man thats losing your freedom, little by little! A sharp stone point is as effective as any other point! Thanks for your comment!

  • @ToroToker The regulations in New York don't specify stone points to the best of my knowledge. Instead, they say that it is illegal to hunt with "Arrows with barbed broadheads; arrowheads less than 7/8 inches at the widest point or with less than 2 sharp cutting edges".

  • Wow. When the s%$t hits the fan you'll be ready.

  • @muskgabr Sometimes i think it has already hit!

  • hey can you make vid on how to make sinew

  • everything about this is great.

  • Hey Thad, Cant get enough of your work. Your recent article in Primitive Archer was equally as awesome as your videos. Thanks for putting so much of your hard work out there for others to enjoy. You're an inspiration.

    C. Candelario (aka River of fire)

  • @loscandelario Thank you for your great comments...i am working on a high end primitive skills/hunting dvd now! Good luck in your quest!

  • @kenny1979 Thanks man, hope you great success with your primitive quest!

  • this video is more spiritual than any esoteric spiritual writings...welcome to the REAL. Truly a beautiful connection to see - Great video - highly inspiring.

  • @Rawmodel Thank you!

  • Wonderful video! Well done!

  • @greywolfe420 Thanks for the nice comments!

  • very nic.do you flute your hunting points?

  • Very nice video, I really enjoyd watching it , thanks

  • @AndreaGanora .....More to come thanks!

  • When our world goes to shit this dude will be able to survive :)

  • @HDMann292 Well the U.S. is almost there becoming more socialist each day, we are losing freedoms to the current idiots in the White House

  • Thad, I was curious. Do you think that or have knowledge that native americans hunted deer from trees? As a bowhunter, I have had deer to spot me so easily when hunting on the ground.

  • i personally have never done survival stuff, but i am interested in it and i have an idea about somethings about hybridization between modern and primitive technologies in survival and hunting. most of my ideology about that is how much modern stuff you would use with the primitive like metal arrow points and modern fire-starters. any way great video i am definitely looking forward to more of this and possibly a further chat about combining the modern and the old technologies working together.

  • @pzshi Sorry, i am not a survivalist...i do native american life skills and hunt with native archery! I do have alot of people into survival contact me but my interest is in the old days....thanks

  • @BeckumOutdoors i was looking on your web site and was looking to buy some flint tiped arrows what is the price average for those?

  • @wolvenblacktalon1 Sorry i sell dvds to show people how to build bows and arrows but do not sell them!

    Go a goggle search you can find someone who makes them for sell....thanks

  • @BeckumOutdoors I have done some wilderness survival and what you practice is essentially wilderness survival just a little more extreme because you go completely primitive. Great video. I will probably be buying the complete video in the near future.

  • @BeckumOutdoors You have a true Spirit and Soul and real connection with the sacred earth..people today have no understanding of this..

  • you make most of the survivalists i know,including me look foolish. id hate to stray into your hunting ground.

  • what a sweet hart

    god bless his soule

    it's a deer hunting deer world

  • @dojdart1 O. K.

  • dude i love this video i am only a young man but i really want to get into this primitve aspect of it 5 stars and please keep making these videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I live in upstate NY...does anyone know of a good wood to use for arrows? thanks

  • @rdawg0000 Here in the southeast rivercane is the best for primitive arrows and it is the best in the U.S. I believe traditional arrows made by native people in the northeast were made from maple and oak, hickory and other woods. They hardwoods will work but the make a heavy arrow. Good for going deep into game. You may wish to research your area, we have the rivercane and it is magic.

  • @BeckumOutdoors - also ash is very suitable

  • @rdawg0000 I'm also in upstate NY and have found Wild Rose shoots to make decent arrows. A friend makes beautiful arrows out of Dogwood shoots and I hope to go with him collecting this winter.

  • awesome video man. i love doing that kind of stuff too. i live on the east coast in Maryland, there doesn't seem to be any good trees to make an arrow from, or flint rocks to make a point. that flint knife you had was incredible i would love to have one of those.

  • major respect x

  • @Saxonseb Thanks!

  • oh and could you tell me also which sticks you can use for shafts and sorry for wasting youtr time you dont have to answer this question sorry and oh yeah five stars

  • oh and could you tell me also which sticks you can use for shafts and sorry for wasting youtr time you dont have to answer this question sorry

  • man you are beast by the way can you use goat tendents for sinew please answer asap

  • @nimi118 Yes you can, thanks!

  • you got skills

  • @gratedrake1 Thanks! Its all about what you take serious.

  • Hey Dude How Can I Make A Bow That PowerFull Mine Isn't Fit For Hunting Yet

    Please Respond.

  • @TheNerdableVidGuy Order Full Circle DVD! Or find someone who makes bows and learn the right way! You can research bow making on the internet or you can order the set of books called the Traditional Bowyers Bibles...you have to be serious about bow making!

  • @BeckumOutdoors Where Do I Order It From?

  • I want to live like this. Wish I had a program near me that could teach me these things. I try to learn on my own through websites and books that I can find, but it's tougher to do all on your own. I need someone right next to me teaching me, showing me how to do it right, correcting when I'm doing it wrong.

  • @iammadness Do some research you will find someone close that is into primitive skills, don't give up!

  • @BeckumOutdoors I won't. I am searching. Maybe someone at one of those Mountain Men conventions we sometimes have around here if I can find where one is being held.

  • @BeckumOutdoors what material do you use to make the pointed sharp head. Is it some kind of stone, metal or other hard material. I really like this kind of life away from the corrupt modern human society we live in now-a-days. I am also interested in taking training on survival skills and experience this kind of life :-)

  • @TheDexter2100 The arrow points are made from flint or obsidian, chert, quartzite and other many types of special stone that is suitable for working into points and knifes. Most material has alot of silica in the stone which lets you flake the stone with control using pressure and percussion!

  • Sir, I hold you in the highest respect. Incredible video.

  • @TheSurvivalResource Thank you!

  • Brother I love your Videos, I myself am a flint knapper and survivalist. Keep the videos coming. I see from your video that I still have a long way to go.

  • @geraldlee33 Thanks, i will !...Good luck!

  • @geraldlee33 All of our quest become a personal journey! You will get there!

  • Brother I love your Videos, I myself am a flint knapper and survivalist. Keep the videos coming.

  • thanks for keeping these skills going you are a great man!

  • @flamefinger1989 Thanks, love doing it!

  • i love that you belive in the old way to!

  • @ozarktrapper Yes, thanks! Will have another primitive hunting dvd out soon!

  • Just carve something similar to the stick but put like 3/4 of a ball on the end from the same piece of wood. A club for knocking suffering animals unconscious.

  • this is the true way to hunt. a truly humble, and beautiful way. it really brings u closer to nature. if there is someting i strive to be, is uncivilized, because civilization kills the soul and enslaves the mind.

  • @ChocolateyChocobo13 "civilization kills the soul and enslaves the mind"...well said brother.

  • @xcmtb83 i'm a girl, but okay. and yeah, i strive to be as close to nature as possible, as close to humanitie's true roots. not this illusion we call society.

  • @ChocolateyChocobo13 As do those who run it.

  • damn boy, wearing that deer like a duffle bag you gotta have some nice back muscles.

  • How do make the stone knife

  • @SCARFACE8675309 By a method called flint knapping.

  • @BeckumOutdoors have u ever made a flint knapped knife?

  • @258legolas Many out of flint, chert and obsidian!

  • @BeckumOutdoors their harder to make in my opinion

  • when you shot that deer, did you do it in a treestand?

  • @x666x666x666x4 I hunt deer from treestands and ground blinds and have stalked deer also! Native people hunted deer at night on the full moon and with man drives that pushed them into rivers to be clubed and speared and they used fire to drive deer into traps and they baited deer. I man in a tree stand is nothing compared to native hunting techniques and yes i have native ancestors....thanks

  • You are awesome! Damn, I wish I could live like you. i get really tired of the city sometimes. How long did it take you to master all of these skills?

  • @GreenEggsAndHamster I come from a long line of people who hunted and fished without high technology and i am still learning skills as time goes on!

  • do you live in the bush by yourself?

  • @stett99 I make primitive skills/hunting dvds but i like pizza and i use a computer and high tech video equipment. If i did not no one could watch my dvds!

  • I hate this day and age,sadly I'm using a computer to say this.

  • @dedred5 Well its all we got! We must make the best of it! But i know what you mean!

  • This video is amazing, I live in Ohio, what type of stone should I use for primitive skills (making arrow heads, knives etc..).

    If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

  • @bigggyd There is hundreds of different types of cherts/flints in the U.S. for making tools and some very good ones in Ohio just goggle " knappable flints/cherts in Ohio i think that will get you started

  • i really like your recurve self bow is there any website were i can find plans or a build along on how to make 1

  • @aspenarcheryusa You can order the Traditional Bowyers Bibles, they are the very best ......thanks Thad

  • Damn, your hardcore!!

  • @jtricer1973 Thanks, live life once thats all!

  • @jtricer1973 Damn his hardcore what?

  • i would love this dvd this is awesome ...everything i seen from BeckumOutdoors has been so cool ..id love to take a hunting trip completely primitive like this.. jus for a good week or two..jus to expierience it

  • @BeckumOutdoors

    Oh, that's nice. I'll think about it ;) 20$ is not much for some good DVD, but do you know how much is for carriage to Poland?

  • @gswiaczny I send a dvd to europe for around $5.00 shipping

  • great video!

  • Wonderful video. You're a great archer, incredible accuracy. If I ever had a chance to competite with you, I would probbly do it :) Best regards from native Slavic Poland, Greg

  • that was cool when you almost hit the camera. Are you native or your just a survivalist or something?

  • @67DieHardPatriot454  My grandfathers line was DNA tested Haplogroup Q1a3a native american and we also tested Haplogroup I western european. And you are right that shot almost took out my camera. Thanks!

  • Is this you on the video? I assume from the comments that it is, and if so, from one want-to-be-survivalist (I’m only 18, but I figure why not learn now, that way when I’m 30 or so I have at least half of the skills you have acquired) to a survivalist, I admire you for making this video

  • Comment removed

  • wow your realllly good!

  • When the end of civilization as we know it arrives (if ever) hope he's in our Colony.

    Make a good Zombie killer also....haha

  • @actonbath The end of civilization has already ended for some, take a look at our corrupt socialist gov't. This is not my civilization!

  • @BeckumOutdoors No doubts brah. Skollie lot in the White House be Marxists sure as sunrise.  Today bit step from Stalin-ism but for the Yank flag and it's khaki followers. Fokking gaams gov't wish be crown himself king-Supreme Leader eh?

  • @BeckumOutdoors Nor mine. I think people like us will soon need to retreat into the backwoods to be able to continue living the way we choose to because the government will make laws that make independant living like this illegal. They want us living on their medicare, learning their socialist history in their socialist schools and working to benefit their souless government.

  • check out this video. Working Man's Hunting Show - Episode 1

  • this guys bad ass

  • @dennisvanhoose  No i just work hard at what i do! Thanks
