A Genuine Primitive Free Point Spear

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

this is an exelent method of spearing things the spear head penetrates, then seperates from the shaft leaving a barbed point attatched to a long cord

The basic parts are a shaft, a bird bone, and a fish shaped spear point. (sand dollar heart)

Just fit the bone to the shaft so that the point is centered...

the next step is to lash the bone securely..

Punch a small hole in the end of the bone , insert point and pull slightly on the cord and the spear is ready to use.

the bone lashings are coated with pine resin to prevent movement

Really nice work erun.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

All of the parts work well with each other, and there is not any difficult bone or wood work to do. it is a trustworthy method.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

What sort of things do you suggest I use these for?

Found pine resin. Found a whack of chicken bones. But I search all bloody day around the farm and could not find even one sand dollar heart.

Dammit!!!!

Is that black locust?

American Basswood

Maybe you could just break the bone to a point instead of using a sanddollar heart also?
Anyways, that is a great idea for a spear.

Erun do you do anything to keep the cordage from drying up and getting brittle ?

I use Natural Bee's Wax, or Black walnut oil rubbed into the cordage

Very nice job, most people talk about this sort of thing but very few I see that have actually tried it. Refreshing to see!!

[primeelite]

Pretty cool, I am just getting into the whole survival thing as a hobby so I am a newb and enjoy learning all of the things like this.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

There is a few other good weapons that wedge into a holder then stay with the "prey",
leaving the Hunter with a reloadable base for launching another shot. even blow darts I make with points that seperate from the cone shaft. they work nicely and weigh enough
to take down a ground hog or raccoon.

[skunkkiller]

you could make them out of clam shells to.
