The Hunting Weapon That Only Takes 1 Hr To Make (Hint: It’s Not A Bow)

  • Every Outdoor Enthusiast Needs to Know How to Make This!

    No matter how prepared you are, when you're out in the wild you could yourself in SHTF situation where you need to improvise in terms of basic things like building a shelter and finding food. You'll also, of course, need to focus on keeping yourself safe, especially if you're going to be stranded out in the wild for a while, perhaps until a storm passes or until daylight when you can make your way back to civilization and safety.

    To do this, you'll need a basic and easy to use weapon that you can make on the spot, using just what's around you in the wilderness. Your first thought may be to make something simple like a bow and arrow, but we recently discovered another type of weapon that's ideal for when you're out in the wild and you need to improvise. It's called an atlatl, aka a spear thrower, and it takes just an hour to make. Plus, the darts you use with it aren't nearly as complex or difficult to make as the arrows you'd need for a bow and arrow.

    To learn how to make an atlatl, please continue to Page (2) for the instructions.

      I’m betting by the pic, and little hint, that its an Atlatl.

      Takes one hour to make and………….. 3 years to master so you’ll be dead long before you master it. Good luck and$#%&!@*you to the ” survivalist ” pretending to share knowledge about surviving. Cunts.

      They are effective and not too hard to make. Mine didn’t work out so well but I didn’t put that much time into it. It does take a lot of practice to get good with it.

      I agree. When Dave got kicked off, it really was over with. Then Cody simply got burned out on it and disgusted with Joe who wouldn’t listen and still thought he was in the military. When Cody left, they should have just stopped the program. I don’t think it’s even on anymore but I’ve missed a few years since going off the grid.

      Sure, if you already know how to use an atlatl.
      Otherwise it’s quite hard to learn, takes a lot of time. Just make a bow. In most places you can with a sharp knife and a few hours. It’ll serve you a lot better in range, accuracy and ease of use.

      Only takes an hour to make and life time to learn how to hit your target

      Matt Graham is awesome, as is Cody. You know when 1 person drives one of the show as well as cause the show to be removed for his actions the problem the problem should’ve been obvious.
      They were replaced by 2 guys from naked and afraid for a couple of shows that have aired. None recently though.

      Thank you for finally covering the atlatl. I prefer it to the bow as a bushcraft weapon. 2 years real life experience full on bush living. The atlatl isn’t a “spear thrower” technically as the darts are flexible while a spear should be a rigid thrusting weapon (I’ve written several articles on spears, which I also carried regularly, and still do when I go for a trek)

      Reading the directions, especially without pictures, I really didn’t recognize this as an atlatl. Furthermore, while a 3′ dart might work, traditional darts were usually anywhere up to twice as long. Very good weapon, not so good directions, in my opinion.
