what's your problem? just ignore it if it doesn't resonate with you

  I don't have a problem. I've watched his videos for a long time and it is fairly clear that he was ignoring the key element of primitive life: hunting. And in his shrimp trap video, he finally broached it. Now, if he brought the whole thing to completion, he would hunt something properly. Alabama has legal spear hunting, and it would probably be the likeliest place to host stone-tipped spear hunting with a film crew.

    I think I misunderstood your comment, I can see what you were trying to say now.

    The show is called Primitive TECHNOLOGY. If you haven't noticed he builds stuff, why do you need him to go hunting?
  • Shanea93 10y ago
    It would be a fairly unlikely place for him to go though, given that everything he does is on his own land (and other areas where he has the owner's permission). He's presumably constrained by the local wildlife and regional laws. In Queensland, Australia where he is based, it's illegal [1] to hunt anything which isn't feral or an invasive species of hare or deer, which are pretty hard to find, especially on small plots like the one he owns.

      There are feral pigs in QLD, which have their own hunting culture. We were give a copy of Bacon Busters magazine: http://www.sportingshootermag.com.au/news/new-bacon-busters-out-now-with-our-free-babes-and-boars-calendar http://www.sportingshootermag.com.au/news/new-bacon-busters-.... In it we learned that real men hunt pigs, real real men hunt pigs with a bow, and real real real men hunt pigs with a knife (joking, of course). Kevlar armour can be purchased for your pig dogs (chest and throat). And when you fell your pig, take a photo with a stick propping open it's mouth... unless you have an empty beer can to do the job. But yes, while there are feral pigs in QLD, it's a bit much to expect him to hunt them with a stone-tipped spear just to appease some random naysayer on the internet. I mean, the guy builds a tiled-roof house with chimney and underfloor heating using nothing but the stuff he pulls from the forest by hand, and somehow that's not enough - apparently he has to risk his life attacking a feral pig with stone tools to get 'cred'...

    This guy's hobby is building stuff with stone age technology and sharing videos with us. He goes out to his plot on the weekends, then drives home and goes to work for a week. He doesn't need to hunt to keep food on the table. If he went hunting instead, he probably wouldn't have time to build huts and farm plots. I doubt he'd have much of an audience if his videos were about stalking rabbits in the bushes with a spear in his hand. In most parts of the world, hunting with stone age implements would be illegal and at the very least it's (arguably) unethical because it would put the prey animals through unnecessary suffering. Yeah, hunting was an important part of stone age hunter/gatherer culture but this guy isn't there trying to survive with stone age tools. I'm sure there are hunting videos in youtube if someone enjoys watching that instead.

    He's Australian, why would he want to go to Alabama? (Why would anyone.)

    It's called Primitive Technology, not Primitive Survival.

    He's not in Alabama, he's in Australia. Agree with it or not, hunting is highly restricted there. I'd rather him keep making videos than be fined or incarcerated out of existence.
