Surviving to Thriving: First 20 Primitive Months
From cave to house. Nature provides all the materials we need to live. We just need to learn how. Long ago our ancestors knew the primitive skills and technologies for survival in the wilderness. In the Primal Tendencies series I show my journey exploring this land and learning what to eat and how to build a functional adobe hut to go from surviving to thriving in the wild during a period of 20 months.

capture the wild boar alive hunting
In the old days, eating was something you had to do for yourself; it was a way of life. I started hunting when I heard that word from Kunio Katagiri, a trapper in Shizuoka. I accompany a local hunter's hunting in the first year of the hunting season, and from the second year, I am hunting live by myself while referring to Kunio Katagiri's animation.
This is the third hunting season of the year. I make a living going into the mountains for my family and the people I care about. The trapped leg was aching in the flesh, so I originally wanted to trap it on the front leg, but it was trapped on the right hind leg.
The traps were shallow, so the photographer and myself had to keep in mind that they could have come off at any moment. If you watch the video for yourself, you can see the impatience. I would like to refer to Katagiri-san's way of calming down the feeling that she can approach the beast while talking to it, as if she were admonishing it. He was a wonderful boar with gentle eyes, but very strong and beautiful fur.

Ancient Slingshot Was as Deadly as a .44 Magnum
On a fortified hill in Scotland some 1,900 years ago, a Roman army attacked local warriors by hurling lead bullets from slings that had nearly the stopping power of a modern .44 magnum handgun, according to recent experiments.
Plumbata 2 - Bigger, Better and thrown every way!
Plumbata are substantial war darts that have their origins in Ancient Greece and were favoured by late Empire Romans. In my first video here https://youtu.be/EfgMfSZiQSU, I experimented with them and following more thought and your amazing comments I have come back to experiment more. Longer shafts, more fletchings and thrown everyway I could, by hand, by throwing strings and with a staff sling.
Just how far can you throw them and which way get them the furthest?
Hunting the Ancient Bison. Primitive hunting with the Atlatl & Exploring Experimental Archaeology
Primitive Atlatl Hunting Bison & Experimental Archaeology. In this first of its kind 47 minute documentary, Hunting the Ancient Bison, we get a glimpse back to 10,000 years ago. One scenario in which a small band of hunters would hunt, dispatch and process a bison with Atlatl, Spear point and stone knives. The hunt is lead by Professional Primitive Builder and Hunter, Ryan Gill.
There are a number of European Caucasians who are finding bushcraft interesting and are now using it. It should be taught in all European schools and throughout all European organizations because it allows you to connect back with nature and shows how your ancestors lived, what foods they ate, plants they used for medicines and how to make items and utensils to survive. Bushcraft should be taught to all children to help them understand how their ancestors lived and to help build confidence, knowing how to be able to practice ancient crafts, such as making clay pots, baskets, stone spear heads and arrow points and to also make clothing, bow and arrows and bread making.

Thank you for this video, it was informative. It fascinates me to think people did this from medieval times, up to the 19th century, mostly by hand, and it was considered a reasonably common skill.
I did this in school back in the late 80:s, when it was part of the corriculum in Swedish schools to teach traditional crafts/skills.
You did not bring a compass, in order to find your way back to town you need to find North East South and West. This video shows you how to find true North East South and West by using a primitive navigation method called " shadow stick method ". The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West

I''m a spinner and weaver in Australia. Still have some hard to come by raw Flax ready for spinning. The method is quite different to spinning wool as the fibre is pretty coarse. My ancestors in eastern Europe used to grow flax, but also extra extracted oil from the seeds. I'm eating Linseeds when I have a twinge near my liver, which soon disappears like magic.
I love wearing Linen. I never knew how it was made Very interesting! Thank you!

I knew it was coming soon, but not now! I have several things that need to be done before they're buried in snow and the ground freezes - finish the roof of the log cabin, build the outhouse, collect moss and clay for chinking, install the wood stove to heat the cabin, collect firewood....

Ray Mear's Instructional Bushcraft Videos
The following videos give some good insight into how our ancestors lived.
This video shows how our ancestors started a fire, making bow and arrows and how to skin deer using flint tools and other skills. Near the end of the film, it shows some lovely cave paintings of European indigenous Caucasian ancestors.
In this next video, Ray Mear shows how to make a birch bark bowl container from the birch tree.
This video shows Ray Mear's world of survival in Siberia. Ray visited a nomadic Asian family living off the land and their herd of reindeer. We can learn from these educators how our ancestor lived.
This video is one of 5 episodes showing how our hunter-gatherer ancestors used wild foods.
These videos are just a few examples of the wonderful documentaries created by Ray Mears. Many of them can be watched in full on YouTube if you find this as fascinating as I do.
