Fishing Bajau Style | Primal Survivor


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

So this gun is made out of pretty much all found materials. The spirit self made out of a piece of steel rod has a simple but effective barb here to keep a fish from wriggling off and escaping. The other end of the spear has these little grooves filed into the end of it that fit into a trigger made out of a found rusty nail. It locks it in there like that.

Then there's a piece of inner tube with wire attached to the end that fits into a group like that. This is locked and loaded hairpin trigger. Amazing! Time to put my homemade weapon to the test.

Spearfishing is a complex combination of skills that requires breath control, extreme concentration, and excellent hand-eye coordination. Just one element out of sync can make the whole enterprise impossible. You just can't see anything when your goggles fill up with water.

I'm still working out the bugs with my new body goggles. These are constructed from a single piece of hand-carved wood and a section of window glass and are custom made for each individual diver. They're designed to last under these waters, and mine are now doing their job.

But the fish I'm coming across are small and fast, and extremely hard to hit. Trying to go down and stalk a fish, you gotta hold your breath. Everything just gets frustrating down there. I need to remember to relax.

Like the Bajau, they are the best divers I've ever known, often starting before they can walk and improving long into old age. Their ability underwater has been compared to sea otters, and nothing distracts them from their ultimate target.
