the point is a clean painless kill....and NOT wound and make the poor animal suffer needlessly. NOT that i could kill one...or would..id kill a dog hatin muslim though!!
Wouldn't it work better if you hardened it over a fire first? And have you tried alternating and overlapping the sticks in another way? If my memory hasn't betrayed me, you were laying them "thick to thin" which would make one end of the bow thicker than the other, not allowing the bow to flex equally on both sides of the handle. The thing I like most about your videos are that they really make me want to try these things out myself, and I do.
Learning from each other =) keep up the good work!
@trapperboy100 preferably after so it holds its form better and before stringing the bow. may need to use some fire resistant types of cordage. or at least follow up with some paracord after it cools.
this guy rocks im sorry, if i didn't have 3 kids i would apply fora apprenticeship, I wish i could meet him one day and just have a conversation about the wilderness and survival
hey dave this is gabriel and i like to say your doing a very good job and i hope you and code do will in the moves and it works out for you and him your bud gabriel valdez jr
planes crash, ships sink, boats get swamped etc etc etc. not sure what all the ranting is about, but obviously this is meant to be something easily made and used to hunt small game in case you have nothing better. To think that there is no chance that you will ever end up in a tough situation without your usual gear is naive. Even if you have all your gear, sh!t happens. Most pieces of gear can break, or be lost. better to sacrifice your pride and be prepared -just in case-
I would think that would be a waste of rope in a survival situation... would be more efficient and effective to make a bow out of a solid shaft of wood. And less of a pain in the ass. I like watching all the other videos you have tho, thanks for all the great uploads.
@stvsanders duct tape has too much give remember the paracord is reusable and has many more uses the strands on the inside can be used for alot of things and the outside case can still be used as cordage
What I don't really understand is you keep referring to a 'survival type situation', then you start talking about carrying duct tape around in your backpack.
When I visualize a survival type situation, there is no backpack.
I'd like to see how to put feathers on a bow using just leaves and sapling bark.
If I have access to duct tape, I'm probably not really in that much danger...
I'd like to see what kind of weapons work against bears...
@eschelar You're right about the duckt tape and the back pack. But since cordage made out of any plant fiber, woods and sharp stone flakes are available, you can do pretty much anything. Here in Brasil we use tree sap as a glue in the woods...
And of course, there's always the possibility of a natural disaster or even a war turn a urban enviroment in a WROL survival situation
@eschelar Pine resin comes to mind. As far as a no-backpack-survival-situation Why would you go into a possible situation where that would be required without extensive training? Survival begins with preparation. Sadly our society considers groups which still teach these skills as a lifestyle to be uncivilized and backward. (Yeah right! Ever walked the streets of a big city?) I always have a buttpack with what I consider to be a few essentials. I wasn't taught the old ways.
@10yearvet - if there is no "no backpack survival situation" then there is no need for these skills. True, it's pretty rare, but it can happen. What if you were on a mountain and a bear came along and stole your backpack?
I come from Canada. We still have wilderness. And cougars and bears. And bush planes.
@eschelar Like I said I ALWAYS have my buttpack on me as well as a canteen of water. It is not integrated with my rucksack. I am well familiar with cougars and bears among others. I can think of only two situations that one could get your ruck. You have either left your ruck in camp unsecured or you've met one face to face and dropped it to run. Then he isn't going to go for the ruck and it isn't going to matter what your skills are. If you are with a buddy you only need to run faster than him.
@eschelar Seriously brother.. tryin' to help you here. Don't try to reach for a skill level above what you haven't already learned. I am Cherokee indian but, sadly, I wasn't taught the old ways. My ancestors were taught from childhood and was second nature. I find it admirable that you want to learn how to survive with nature but I also think it wise to go into situations prepared. 550 cord as far as I am concerned is an absolute must in my pack and it rolls up small and lightweight.
@maddipper12 You must be psychic - I'm both 10 years old AND retarded.
Clearly you have never been in any real wilderness, never seen a cougar jump onto a 20 foot roof, never been charged by a grizzly bear...
Obviously this bow is not a weapon, but rather a tool. Yes indeed, the bunch bow, your best bet for digging furrows for your new hedge garden, set up some nice mood lighting and even play a little music on the saw you keep in your backpack at all times, even on airplanes.
@eschelar ive been within spitting distance of bears and there is no need to be afraid your not on the menu just back away end of story. as for cougars stay the fuck away from them because even with a fucking semi auto shotgun it will prolly be all on your shit before you can pull the trigger. so quit itching about videos and make a fire if you want protection from animals that arnt a threat to anyone
i've found that if you make the bow string maybe about 3/4ths the length of the bow it works pretty good and you dont have to tie the other end while trying to tension the string
Not trying to be rude or negative. But when is it worth the time and effort to construct something like this? I doubt one could repeatedly get within 10 yards of a deer, I could be wrong though. For fishing, why not use that cordage for trot lines instead? I know full well that Dave is the master, and there is an obvious reason, I'm sure. Just wondering. Thanks for sharing!
Just one thing. When you say 40lbs, do you mean the bow has to have 40lbs draw to be legal or do you mean that the arrow has to leave the bow at 40 ft/lbs as the two are completely different?
If you take the bark off you can fit more sticks in your hand to make the bow stronger. Stripping the bark also increases the limb speed of the bow, bark really slows this down, As long as your arrow is not too heavy, then the velocity of the arrow depends more on the speed of the bow than the draw weight. One last thing you might find useful is to use wet twine binding instead of para cord. When the twine drys it will shrink to hold much more tightly and it only costs about £1 for 200 yards.
I have a question!, This bow, can kill a rabbit?, i listened you in 11:00
and you said, yes, can... but from what distance , and, can kill the rabbit in one shot? , i guess in the head, its hard to aim i guess, need a little practice, but, this its my question, This bow, can kill a rabbit? from what distance ? can kill the rabbit in one shot? its neccesary hit him in the head?
he should have tied on that glass arrowhead he made and continued this vid to part 3: Killing a deer with it. THAT would be an outstanding show. Demo how to actually use it.
if that one end didnt have as much flex at the grip it prolly have a tad more punch,,, made a bow the other day by splitin a single small tree in half strung with the flat side out, lost 3 arrows in the woods from across the yard yesterday,,, my next project is like this one but with bamboo slats duct taped together
heres a tip that you might find useful since i see you film most(or all) of your videos out side take a piece of panty hose that your wife has ripped or something and put it over the mic on your camera for a wind screen its a little trick us audio guys use in the studio :)
@swallowthedark for his wind he might need something thicker or call one of us audio guys for the use of an iso booth for a voice over narration...lol
That is sick man. With my homemade crossbow, I use the same sort of duct tape method, except I use piece of plastic cunt in the shape of a fletching, and I use three of them, and they work brilliantly. And they're nail tipped as well :D
Your show is great! My dad and I watch it all the time. I don't fully comprehend or agree with all of Cody's tactics, but he seems like a helpful companion to have especially for fire and shelter making. You guys do a great job, and I hope you have many more seasons to come.
@kruppcody1 you sure can! ive got loads of it at my house aswell. search bamboo bundle bow or bamboo bow on here and there are some vids on how to make them, kaus i think you need ta split them but its real easy
your a badass motherfucker watched some of your videos for entertainment and its pretty cool how you make shit and whatnot. just wanted to say that. keep doin what ya do.
yea but at 12:06 you said were the arrow hits at how close you are it dont matter how close it matters were the arrow hits and if you got deep enough pinatration.
lol you can kill a rabbit with like a 10 pound bow somebody told me that a 25 pound bow will kill a deer with the right broad head and if you place the arrow at the right spot
I was thinking you could mix woods and maybe use what long stiffer sticks(possibly 1 piece good ones you find) and mix with the piece to get the best quick results with less searching. I Imagine that mixing what you can find mighty be as usefull? just a thought
wow, thank you for this series, i got my son(10) to watch with me and the next time we go hiking he wants to make one, i told him if he can pull 45 lbs he can go rabbit hunting with it. thanks again...
I had an idea for a quick quiver if the points of your arrows arn't that sharp you could put the ends in your haversack and use a zip tie taped to the strap and that would help support them
dave great bow. I have heard of bows like this but never found good enough materials for it. Any suggestions for someone from the southeastern states? I dont think I've seen any japanese honeysuckle around my parts. I got tons of pine, some birch, silver maple, and a few ash trees. I hope you get the discovery deal. Good luck.
I'm no expert like Dave, but I would say go with ash. English longbowmen were said to prefer ash bows, and they were considered the best archers in the world at the time.
awesome videos dave!! i cant wait to go out in the woods and try that! hope all goes well with discovery!! oh and can you do a video showing good bow woods? thanks!
dave you are very acurate with a bow arent you? good job man. wish i could shoot like you. hadnt shot a bow since i was a kid but i think i'd like to do it again maybe even with a white oak bow i build myself. thanks dave.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks! Can't wait to get to the woods and try this one out! Thanks as always for the very well made and very informative video...
Dave, another great video. The rock bass already fear my pathfinder fishing kit, now the carp will have to watch out for my bundle bow! Can't wait to see you on Discovery. You always say "thanks for your support" at the end of your videos, well I say thank you for your support.
Dave, Great Video bud. I know you know this as a trad archer, but if you added point weight your arrow shaft would fly alittle less stiff. I.E right handed shooter, shaft kicking out left. It may be alittle too complicated in the woods, Never tried it, but you know. Also Great idea on the fletching...Awesome man!!
Thanks for the video. It reminded me of how I use to make single piece of wood bows when I was a kid and use bullrushes tomake the arrows. They were not vey powerful as we used to shoot each other my buddies and I, but we used bail twine and a good piece of hard wood for good afternoon fun. I will will get myself some para-cord and attempt one from the shoots near the river behind my house for practice. Thanks again, brought some memories. Mike, London, On.
@wildernessoutfitters i think he meant don't video tape it... i personally would love to see this and the slingbow take some game just to prove it's effectiveness

lol you can kill a rabbit with like a 10 pound bow somebody told me that a 25 pound bow will kill a deer with the right broad head and if you place the arrow at the right spot
jacksoncole79 2 years ago
I like the bow and it seems easy to make.
I was thinking you could mix woods and maybe use what long stiffer sticks(possibly 1 piece good ones you find) and mix with the piece to get the best quick results with less searching. I Imagine that mixing what you can find mighty be as usefull? just a thought
gets a guy thinkun. thanks

you can use your hands its just harder than with a jig.

as always, Great. I like the Swiss Dart better, than the bundle bow. The bundle bow would be better for hunting.

you can heat up the wood to make it straighter for the arrow

I had an idea for a quick quiver if the points of your arrows arn't that sharp you could put the ends in your haversack and use a zip tie taped to the strap and that would help support them

would ductape work two it would probably quicker and you wouldnt need to use your paracord
Bloodynavallint 2 years ago
probably but tape can luse its value when things start moving and when dirt gets in there. cord, if tied right, will keep its load.

Would bamboo work for making this bow if you did not have the right wood?
4770589 2 years ago
Yes if you split is right and remove the excess wood around the nodes.

unreal. Can't wait to see if you actually bring down a deer. Im not doubting you, just want to see it.

dave great bow. I have heard of bows like this but never found good enough materials for it. Any suggestions for someone from the southeastern states? I dont think I've seen any japanese honeysuckle around my parts. I got tons of pine, some birch, silver maple, and a few ash trees. I hope you get the discovery deal. Good luck.

ash pure wood bows are great but hard work to make
freebushcraft 2 years ago
I'm no expert like Dave, but I would say go with ash. English longbowmen were said to prefer ash bows, and they were considered the best archers in the world at the time.

The English longbowmen were only so powerful because of their enemies - peasents and un-armed natives.
If you ask me, Mongolians are much better archers.

Dave, Great Video bud. I know you know this as a trad archer, but if you added point weight your arrow shaft would fly alittle less stiff. I.E right handed shooter, shaft kicking out left. It may be alittle too complicated in the woods, Never tried it, but you know. Also Great idea on the fletching...Awesome man!!

godsend420 2 years ago
Thanks for the video. It reminded me of how I use to make single piece of wood bows when I was a kid and use bullrushes tomake the arrows. They were not vey powerful as we used to shoot each other my buddies and I, but we used bail twine and a good piece of hard wood for good afternoon fun. I will will get myself some para-cord and attempt one from the shoots near the river behind my house for practice. Thanks again, brought some memories. Mike, London, On.
