The oldest hunting technique from before human invented the hunting tools. The technique includes both the following of tracks from the prey and a spiritual ancient shamanistic skill of connecting with the soul of the animal to visualize which way it ran. The hunting includes no weapons except a symbolic tool, the skill is to run the prey down until it collapses. It’s a fair game, a match of two beings only using their legs. At last when the prey is about to release its soul, the hunter collaborates his own soul with the soul of the animal and he stays with it to the last moment and comforts it, making sure it returns safely to its source again so it can reincarnate, keeping the circle of life complete.

At last a documentary showing the courage and respect of a true Warrior. Life with regard for the land and all it’s brothers and sisters. Peace to all who may learn from this.
we have to keep these people alive for future generations to see stuff like that.

wow
l0L.
life as a hunter sucks.
This is one of the single most poetic things I’ve ever seen. The way they set it up, the way they portray the chase, it’s all so primal – one species hunting another species in the millennia-old test of survival. But then at the very end, it shows us the hunter’s empathy and compassion and gratitude – the very things that make us human. Absolutely beautiful.
Man is a runner…. Although they are courently endanger of extinction, they may survive us, when our pipes of black gold are over.
@SuperApparition I try walking barefoot as much as I can now. Recently I tried running barefoot in the forest, what a great experience… So much better than with those blocks on your feet. I’ll make it a habit…
@hans89 Oh my God! Don’t be silly. No sneakers? You must be out of your mind. What about the air cushion technology given to us by Nike? Or the Gel technology handed down to us by the Asics Gods? Just kidding, I run barefoot (40-50km per week) and I wouldn’t wear shoes at all if society would allow it. I wouldn’t run with shoes on if you paid me.
so different from american blacks
@toledz well before the so call civilization came to their village or tribe, they didn’t use any shoes nor a shirt and shorts… have u hear of the book “Born to Run”?
@toledz It might be surprising to you, but actually people can run without sneakers. Some even still do that nowadays!
so, they already have the sneakers before time to run comfortably upon chasing????
@cantabilemuse
Everything written is “biased” because it is based on the experiences, values and culture of the person writing it. If the author perceives gatherer/hunters as “poor” based on what that author values as “rich” (such as materialism, easy access to food, etc.), the writings will be based upon that perspective. If the author values other qualities as “rich” such as emotional maturity, compassion, open-heartedness, then these people would be perceived as “rich”.
@cantabilemuse I agree with you, the hunter/gatherer lifestyle requires a huge amount of area as they are nomadic, just like the migratory animals that they hunt.
Thanks for the recommendation, I might have to check that book out one day.
Cheers!

They are very, very poor people. Because they are not agriculturalists, but hunter/gatherers they have been pushed out of their lands by farmers… it take a LOT of land to subsist on hunting and gathering. The government supplies them with carbs – rice, milk powder.. . alcohol. If you’re looking for a really good book, check out “Healing Makes Our Hearts Happy” it’s an AMAZING book – an unbiased un-magical portrayal of how this culture is struggling to remain intact.

The producers made a large error (likely intentionally, to beef up the “romantic” factor) – that is, the Ju|’hoansi hunt with a slow acting poison. The animal is speared once, and then followed for a day while the hunters wait for it to collapse from the toxin. Still amazing, but not magical 😉 I dislike when producers take something real and very intelligent and make it all mystical. It’s unnecessary.
this man, this tradition is so sacred.
(I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s like watching a wayne gretsky.)
@SiCDisaster exactly!
one of the most beautiful and amazing videos ive ever seen
@SiCDisaster there are things called passports and immigration. might want to think about that before you start trekking around without a plan.
@mazizk08 the justice is the family it feeds. although I understand what you are saying You miss the big picture of the family it feeds and the tools the carcass can create depending on who’s using the distance weapon. Running after your prey is a specialized type of hunt, try doing that in a Forrest situation where its thick with trees and brush.
that’s really intense. thanks for sharing!
This is as true of a life as one can get.
The most impressive hunt I’ve ever seen.
Skill and endurance at max, technology at minimum.
So freaking cool.
