Build A Primitive Bow From Scratch
Hello everyone, during the lockdown I have been refreshing some old primitive survival skills that I learned in Malawi, Africa, decades ago as a boy.
I decided to build a flightless bow using only a branch and a chicken bone. This was all the material I needed for the bow, cordage, arrow and arrowhead.
Using this technique, it is possible to arrive in a wilderness with no pre-existing materials, and yet be able to hunt, fish and trap. With the remnant materials from making the bow, I also made a fishtrap and bird snare array.
Here is an instructional video of the bow making for anyone who is interested.
