I hate how they ruined the tuunbaq. It's supposed to be an immortal invincible ever encroaching spirit of vengeance, not a fucking bear with down syndrome
i liked that it was a more tangible grounded creature as opposed to le invincible spirit, made the whole thing felt more organic, but i can see why some would disagree

I think both adaptations are good. In the book where you have more space to describe it's presence it works that Tuunbaq is more supernatural. In a show where minutes count and the CGI budget is low, it makes more sense to make Tuunbaq more grounded and real
there's historical accounts saying that some of the tribes fucked their dogs but the dog had to enjoy it and it was done outside of the igloo so they didn't make a mess, or the elders would be extremely angry.
that one anon's system is definitely 100% based on this.
Why did you post such a shitty picture?
Anyway yeah this is more of a "imagine being a polar bear having to fight a human armed with a spear" kind of scenario.
Nothing the polar bear has comes even close to the lethality of a steel spear. It's not even fucking close.
I looked it up they use like an additional bone fore-shaft , I don't think they're attached to the ones he's holding in his hand but you can see one protruding out of bear's ass.
That makes a lot of sense actually. I doubt they had access to lots of flint or steel/bronzes so bones were the next best thing.

yeah I imagine even wood straight or long enough to make arrow shafts out of probably isn't too common either.

Mongolians made laminate recurve bows from bones and horns, held together with the melted and rendered bodies of animals. Making bows out of bone and driftwood isn't really out of the question. Intelligence is OP.

the thing I read also made the excuse that they had to using more binding techniques because they didn't have enough fuel to waste on making animal based glues.

i shoot fragile as fuck carbon arrows from a powerful as fuck 80lb compound bow and haven't broken or lost any of my 5 (five) arrows in 7 years. i imagine straight-enough wood treated well would last a very long time especially if you just want to hit minute of a bear.

I imagine they would last a while. But I've never went looking for an arrow in several feet of snow with a crust over it, shot untreated wood arrows, or had one snap with some kind on struggling animal or hunted as general livelihood, or had to live in 5 months of dark. I think I'd be really far out of my depth.
it's a lose-lose situation since the bear dies from stabby stabs but it'll go apeshit and you'll die before it bleeds out
but the only one smart enough to know that is the human so human gotta run
They probably won't charge at a group of people and it would probably be startled and freightened if it gets a sharp pain out of nowhere. Although I've heard that Soviets in the Arctic were told you could empty a Kalishnikov into its chest and it wouldn't die before it mauled you to death but I think that's if you're alone more than anything.
There are bear hunting videos on youtube. The normal pain response of a bear is to stop, drop and roll. They ignore the hunter after they've been hurt and go into full panic/flight mode.

People put down huge grizzly bears with a few rounds of 9 mm
Any Kalashnikov you use would rip a fucking polar bear to pieces and destroys it's soul, eternally banishing it to the oblivion.
turn 360° and walk away
MR HICKEY WE'VE GOTTEN LOST ON THE WAY TO THE TERROR THREAD AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AHHHHHHHHH
I watched this show on a stream with Wauf back in the day and fell asleep at the start of the last episode.
How did it end?
you run into this bro, what do you do?
What in the actual fuck is that?
it's a bro
Based on context, what do you think it is?
a man

She cute.
They hunted bowhead whales with pointed sticks in hide canoes.
A bear is small time.
Everyone knows eskimo are dexfags.
Are manlets really this fearful of size
99% of this website has never been in a real fight
do they taste good?
Yeah.
>Imagine being an Inuit
>diet is 100% raw meat
I cannot imagine a more based existance
according to that one anon they must have the biggest souls of all people
there's historical accounts saying that some of the tribes fucked their dogs but the dog had to enjoy it and it was done outside of the igloo so they didn't make a mess, or the elders would be extremely angry.

Imagine that gainz. Is the Inuit diet achievable natty?
nah, myth partially, southern tribes get to eat some berries in summer, nothern may only get a bit of kelp year around i swear
i could take out a bear with a spear. just circle around it and jab, jab, jab!
yeah you just have to move quicker than the bear so it wouldn't break spear or your spine with one blow and that's it
>break spear
Good luck with that. Medieval people hunted bears with daggers kek
Source?
>and jab, jab, jab!
um actually it 2022 and you have to have your 2nd booster done already if you want to up to date sweety
COVID is no joke
Humanity's superpower was ranged attacks, the bear would be dead before it got close enough to harm anybody
bow OP pls nerf
>taking a photo because he killed a manlet bear
what a shitter
Polar bears have been getting bigger for decades.

what the shit, how do you even draw the bow more than a couple inches with arrows that short?
Because he can't draw that bow further than just a couple inches. Just look at where the arms of the bow actually start bending.
I looked it up they use like an additional bone fore-shaft , I don't think they're attached to the ones he's holding in his hand but you can see one protruding out of bear's ass.

You have comrads and spears can do some fucking damage. The bear should be afraid of you.

but the only one smart enough to know that is the human so human gotta run
>it'll go apeshit
No, it won't. Predators don't have that "I'm taking you with me" mindset.
Retard
