Hallo Joerg, Ich bin auch einer von denen, die sich mit Survival beschäftigen - und dass, was Du hier gebaut hasst, ist wirklich ein Wahnsinn! Gott sei Dank dass es Leute wie Du gibt, die auch etwas neues entwickeln, und nicht nur blind das schon erfundene kopieren! Gute Arbeit! Dominik

[Galaxia496]

@s24738 there happens to be a tree that oozes out a certain type of sap that makes rubber, so maybe you can watch a video about that.

[s24738]

What about a survival situation? Are there any materials i can use instead of rubber/artificial ones? thx!

[fatheadedjake]

@s24738 he has a video where he uses condoms

[trueps3fr34k]

I drinkvthe same water as u!!

[brandonlasvegas]

genius!!!

[WisdomOfTheHeart123]

I love this. Inspired me to make one using nicer wood with a string around the finger as a trigger. Now my friends keep asking me for rabbit...

[stefan7312]

LIKE A BOSSSS! You've inspired me to try this with my friends!

[96052chris]

find ich echt gut, dass nenn ich sinnfolles "recycling" weiter so

ps. deine Viedeos schau ich echt gern an!!

[JusXstaR]

now im only 18, and since i was six, i have been shooting gunsi own a few my deddy gave to me, but this is awesome, i have gone through watching all your vids and i must say i am very impressed by the craftsman ship of them, accuracy, there amazing, one thing i cant get outa my mind though, u ever break a knuckle? i have popped so many knuckles playing with lil slingshots and i have had many rubbers break and leave giant purple welps on my face hahaha

[FoxderZocker]

man das ding sieht aus wie ne muskete

[Cillik1]

It looks like a VERY nice slingshot, very simple, I think I could make one like that too, although i can already think of some grips I'd like to add on.

Good work.

[EPIC8ball]

3:22 Bruce Willis... Die hard 4.0

[EPIC8ball]

[molekulaTV]

Merry Christmas!

[Mastafredi]

kannst du mir bitte ne Frage beantworten?

haben deine Schleudern eigentlich einen Rückstoss?

ich meine alle Waffen, auch die riesige kanonen-schleuder. :)

[Paaanzaaa]

McGyver schaut grad bloed aus dem Serienhimmel Oo

[ableparkourguy]

hey im new at slingshot shooting so could you upload a video that shows how to improve the accuracy

thanyou

[WAHHBAHHH]

@ableparkourguy try watching more of his videos, you'll learn.

[killymuch]

it didnt work when i used my mechanical tree

[mamatheka]

Jorg! My wife loves your channel and thinks you are ingenious with your designs. Well done!

[fiberglass157]

all you have to do now is put cristmas lights on it

[coalnext]

You can bomb the police

[ithinkidrankpoison]

Were you thinking what I was thinking @ 5:13?

[6and6rea6]

where do you buy those elastic bands?

[WAHHBAHHH]

@6and6rea6 ebay :P

[ThePurplemonkey2012]

Brilliant :)

[davidsquall351]

Thats a cool slingshot. Great trigger.

[jeffsantos1973]

i dont know who could have disliked this video... this is awesome and you rock man... i love the way you legitimize the slingshot as a weapon.

[Fireblades212]

Joerg, whats your most accurate and unique slingshot?

[Nismogtir1]

Merry christmas (coming) Joerg!=D



[TheHater68]

"why does it not hit the tip of the wood? idk i have no idear:)"

[SirLohhan]

5:16 SHOOT THE SATAN SPAWN, unless you like cats?

[JoergSprave]

@SirLohhan If these sweet cats are "satan's spawn", then heck may not be such a bad place after all :)

[Stroocker]

Dieses Jahr werde ich meinen Weihnachtsbaum nicht einfach wegwerfen ^^

[tommythao86]

great idea, now im going to make one and shoot the bird in my backyard.

[bmthbad]

very good

[sgschusswaffenlol9]

Hey Joerg, Ein Kumpel von mir hat das gebaut aber er hat sich damit in den Bauch geschossen. Woran könnte das liegen und wie kann man das beheben?

[JoergSprave]

@sgschusswaffenlol9 Wahrscheinlich hat er die Pouch und die dazugehörige Schlaufe nicht richtig hingebracht. In das Leder gehört ein großes Zentrierloch, das Leder darf nicht zu groß sein, und die Schlaufe nicht zu klein.

[sgschusswaffenlol9]

@JoergSprave Danke für die schnelle Antwort.

[BENTECHLOVER]

you should smoothen it it woulde be even mor awsome then ;-)

[patrickstickler]

I'm thinking this would be an interesting design to incorporate into a walking stick, perhaps with an easily detachable/attachable band...

[jbetenbender]

5:11 It's frighteningly accurate and with a little training you can really easily hit a rabbit or a squirrel"... or a cat =O lol seriously though that was eerie timing.

[blickling1]

ich habe auch vor , sowas zu bauen: welches band empfiehlst du?!

[15waratahs]

how to you make one of those pouches

[glockeva1]

I am so going to make one of those, thankyou joergsprave for your insperation!

[budensity]

cant wait for christmas hahaha

[SilverNoMakeVideos]

@imapimpyournot lol n00b

[rutger362]

are inner tubes of a race bicicle good

[JoergSprave]

@rutger362 Latex works better than butyl, but Thera Band rubber rocks.

[MrBombland123]

Why is there always cats in his videos

[gundudeRAIM]

your awesome man

[johnmadox]

[100helimad]

[bapan1977]

Or else what I can say...

You are God of slingshot ......

[arzoni]

Better than Bear Grylls ! (and at least you don't eat all kind of sick sh*t...)

[michaelwindsurfer54]

those tubes in bicycle tires ,are they good?????????

[JoergSprave]

@michaelwindsurfer54 No.

[purplemutantas]

@michaelwindsurfer54 He has a video where he compares bicycle inner tubes to thera bands and office rubber bands.

[daviddediosrodriguez]

looks more like a stick bow lol :p

[xXphilosoraptorXx]

hey joerg, i have a suggestion for a slingshot: theres a character in an anime show called one piece, whos name is "soge king" or "sniper king", and he uses a staff that is basically a really big slingshot. you could look up pictures of him on google images for a reference. please reply.

[rallyKia]

I really like this one!

O Tannenbaum, O tannenbaum,

Your trunk is really deadly...

I will make one of these very soon just for fun. Also, I have a question. Will bicycle tubes work? I work as a bicycle mechanic and throw out many a day. Thanks for another great video!

[marksman131]

how long did it take u

[Pelerin985]

Wow. I think that IT IS the pattern for safe and realistic larp gun.

I'll try it, be sure. Thanks!

[fletcher0102]

YABADABADOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!



[TheKEYist]

[kyleisaphfl7]

"Even I cannot break it." its strong if the hulk can't break it lol

[sapdeis]

Yo Joe, you did good on that one.

All I can say is.. What, no gravy??

[james13914]

[xwcg]

i'm torn... FPS russia has all the guns, but on the other hand, this guy knows how to improvise a shooting weapon from a frikin' christmas tree. Oh zombie apocalypse, to whom shall I go?

[Keiyoko]

Suburbian Squirrel hunter yeah!

[fartonmeharder]

Jesus you make everything a weapon.

[PlottedFate]

do you sell this stuff? do you create these things as a career?

[WisdomOfTheHeart123]

Awesome Joerg! Survival skill = simple & ingenious.

(p.s. can you help sort my mother in law???)

[54jords]

o joerg please comment back to this

[Kingthug25]

shotgun varriation of this?

[54jords]

[negima47]

[ThatOneJalapenoKid]

DO NOT ROB THIS GUY.

[lnclincoln]

oh oh a german making weapons.... :)

[StrykeForceXBow]

You should have called this video

“The bazzuka slingshot “ ! :-)

[emucosmos]

I'm amazed by your accuracy, any tips to do better shots? I can't seem to get bullseye no matter how much I shot

[iPhoneElite8]

very cool. 

[FixedByDoc]

another one to make this summer.

[MrSuperheterodyne]

Very very good Joerg. Inventive. Polish it up, apply some oil and add it to your collection. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

[Nik13194]

that cat looks to be 10 to 15m away ??

[GautierSansh]

Awesome now I know what I'm gonna give to my child next Christmas !

[DylanDog96]

[ComedianStevieMack]

Nice one

[iDeMiZed]

Hes soo cute! :p

[TigerKurdish]

lol thats one easy/accurate making sling shot! our human ancestors the "caveman" would love your slingshots it would be very handy for their daily life! :D

[Zax807]

Like if you agree he could blay as the heavy on a TF2 movie.

[bandymannen1]

Joerg u are using thera-band gold right? How wide and long is the rubber u are using? :D

[therealgassypanda]

This would be perfect for a zombie invasion!

[TheZakoo7]

does it work good against bears 

[eggfleece]

What the fuck are the guys at DARPA doing? you should have been hired years ago.

[DracoUltima]

Are the bands that you used looped around the notch (to form ''two'' bands) or is it just a single layered band?

[c0mabenke]

I also want to find TWIX (the swedish chocolate bar) in my old christmas tree.. :/

[1gummyipod1]

HOLY CRAP literally like 2 or 1.5 years ago, i would watch you like crazy. DAMN YOU GOT FAMOUS!!!

[JoergSprave]

@1gummyipod1 I wouldn't go that far. Noone ever wanted my autogram in the mall. But I have been doing a lot of videos these last few years.

[1gummyipod1]

@JoergSprave You remember when I asked for a slingshot a longt time ago? You probably don't, I dont know if you guys ship now, but you didnt when I asked you. I also remember you would always write, "-JoergSprave" after all you comment. By the way, you definitely noticed, but I found you again from Break(dot)com. I think thats what the situation was, I dont exactly remember, but it should be in your very old messages. You inspired me to buy a slingshot with yellow rubber (tube), it was sick

[PaulCarhuff]

Holly heck that was awesome. I'm now prepared!

[Nulpaxify]

He should have tested it on the cat in the background!

[xeridox]

That's cool and all but if you ever tried to shoot me with it i would take it away and beat you to death with it ;)

[JoergSprave]

@xeridox Well, the only guys that EVER succeeded in taking something away from me are the German IRS people. :-) They call it taxes, feels more like robbery...

[xeridox]

@JoergSprave lol..I'm right there with ya on that one.

[ifavoritenickelback]

@JoergSprave LOL that's funny

[TheDudelikeCrackers]

@JoergSprave I am a big fan of yours. You're so cool.

[SuffusedWithLove]

He's got a nice voice~~~ I like it. lol!

[Posselwhite]

2 people died from one of these!

[JoergSprave]

@Posselwhite Correction - two got injured, noone knows how many died. Ghosts can't click. :-)

[Zebramaster007]

Survivorman should watch your channel! This is genius!! He'd never be complaining about not eating! I love your channel! Ever consider selling these weapons regionally, even globally? Potential for a very profitable company. Keep it in mind!

[Achturn]

now HERE'S one I can make :O

this is awesome! who would've thought that something so simple would be as accurate as it is!

[Freddan0]

Why would you want to shoot a squirel or rabbit?!

[vitulv]

This is just great! Well done, sir!

[Posoloaca]

ingenious 

[Xdestroyer6]

"Even I cannot break it..."

[drotheill]

Would you recommend killing someone with this?

[JoergSprave]

@drotheill No.

[ratingan2]

@drotheill HAHAHA

[Gastronauticle]

lol at 5:08, he rests the weapon on his terrifyingly massive German pec.

[ahkhee]

5:20, u can easily hit a dog too.

hahaha

[ahkhee]

i liked it, even before watching it. hahaha

[jenskiks2]

it have nothing to do with a crossbow! but its a cool gun tho :)

[pmonterolarrain]

fuck MacGyver, this guy is better

[TheUntilitsleeps]

CAT

[raz0rv8]

wel if u run out of balls you have at least a caveman bat :))

[ivancito54]

Enybody loves this men?

[MrSatanica]

Absolutely brilliant!

[dinkydamn]

I was not expecting anything.. But not it's time for me to go into the woods to find myself a "weapon"!

[Yiorch]

5:12 Try it with a mobile target XD

[brycenewton]

What happens when you run the mower over the ball bearings?

[undergroundbasement]

Das ist ein toter tannenbaum

[lambrightdotcom]

Thanks for the video's they are fun to watch.

[xitelmaster]

Do you use handtools for all the work, or do you do some work with power tools as well?

[xitelmaster]

@xitelmaster Nevermind, I'm a moron...

[TheBalancedSoul]

that is a great weapon cheap and powerful not to mention silent

[iAlex1337]

This is the first video I've ever seen that hasn't got a dislike. Good job.

[ikswotianop]

i made one out of a tree branch and it looks really nice and i worked the front end down with a plainer. :) BUT when i shoot it the stone goes down and hits the ground or only goes 10 feet, is it because the string holding the pouch to the rubber is too short? i am using 4 x 30 cm theraband gold

[JoergSprave]

@ikswotianop Punch a larger hole in the middle of the pouch. Without such a hole, the ball can slip off, then you get these short shots.

[ikswotianop]

@JoergSprave i had a slit in the pouch that stretched around the stone but i guess it needs more, sadly the wood dried out funny and has huge splits all over so i dont trust it anymore :( more fire wood :P

[59LOWLIFE]

You'r awesome.

[johngalt1913]

There was a perfect target behind you at 5:11! You missed the cat!

[ikswotianop]

I've already started making one!!!!!!! out of a heavy tree branch. should there be a hole in the middle of the of the pouch to fit around the stone or ball?

[toofastfgbx]

0:47 you be trolling lol

[gswiaczny]

Stone-age carbine! :D Damn, Joerg... It's badass. And some bushcraft style. Indeed you can use it as a survival weapon. Regards, Greg

[rustytool100]

Joerg, Can you show the details on attaching the rubber? Thanks. Your the MAN.

[turtlespameater]

you deserve way more views!!!

[TheCanine2]

Man, that's cool. How did you become so involved/obsessed with slingshots?
