Hi, could you please make a video on How to make a pair of crutches "in the field"? Basic tools, some branches & rope. In the case of a broken ankle, for example. In case, there is nobody else to get you out of the woods. Other videos cover advanced woodcraft techniques, that's not very usable in survival situation.
Agree. Im in the UK and manged to get one. People seem to carry heavy blades for bugouts. Weight is so important. Don't get me wrong I've various large blades but this is affordable and does the job 👍
i use a bottle cork on the end of the handle and keep a mini survival fishing kit, matches, etc. in the handle, nice 15 dollar knife as long as it stays dry and oiled
I just love you brother I tell you I came across Dave Canterbury on Dual Survival in my twenties and I came across this other TV show called Doomsday Preppers I told everybody I said I'm just like them I've been like them to type of people my whole life I said but me and my daddy we always call it camping LOL these days now it's Bushcraft a prepper you know there's always now it's just different titles I will mention those names to people and they just look at me and then I will tell them it's like camping but better anyways thank you brother you and your team are the best
Since you namedropped Dave from the Pathfinder school, I want to say how glad I always am to see you all guys know each other. This community is like a big family. God bless y'all. 🙏🏻
Someone in the comments asked how to keep condensation away from kits like this. Make your own silica gel packets. They last 1-3 years and you can reuse them if you heat them up at 120 deg for about 30 minutes. A bag of silica gel cat litter with the only ingredient being silica gel is what you want to look for about $13-$16 and coffee filters. Cut a coffee filter in half, spoon in a tablespoon of silica gel, fold it over and either staple or glue gun it shut. Commercial desiccant packets are labeled, “do not eat” because they are a choking hazard not poisonous. If a child eats one call your pediatrician and have them drink water, it will pass.
G'day "Thing" (The Addams Family) Great mods to the bow & arrow including the minimalist survival kit. With you at the rein, anyone can survive the unexpected. Cheers Major from Australia.
It’s a little cooler this morning in western Nebraska… So I decided to multitask- I’m baking banana bread while listening to your video… I always appreciate your teaching talents- not knowing why about the feathers on the arrows?? But you answered- how did you know I didn’t know??? ( hehe) well now I know… After watching this, I’m considering, again, buying a bow… Because of one of your previous videos, I bought a slingshot…still not very good… Hope all is well with those suffering from the aftermath of the flooding… may God help them all as they heal and start to rebuild 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕 ❤️🙏🏻
I compiled an EDC water treatment kit. It includes a bandana, 2x cone type coffee filters, 10 x water treatment tablets and a 1 quart water bag. It all folds into the bandana and fits unnoticed in a standard back pocket. I slways have it unless I'm going into a government building or on a commercial flight. You wouldn't be breaking the law but it would still cause an unnecessary commotion.
1. great video. It answers many questions that I had been able to find answers in my research. 2. the largest challenges after shtf are: time priorities, logistics, space allocation.
This is a refreshing change of pace for survival and planning most of prepping culture is so preoccupied with firearms and par military readiness, that they seem to think that you need an enhanced AR-15 just to zip up your fly. me, I’m more drawn to archery, and there was a time when I would’ve dreamed of making this whole kit, myself, out of wood, leather, and other artisanal materials.
Looking perfect. My mind naturally finds things to nitpik about on such videos, but always you think of everything to ensure completion and top practical functionality.
Thank You once again for the good examples and use of kit ideas . Hope the flood victims will recover and that you and your family are well , Lord willing .
Thank's for showing this valuable kit.I would Highly recommend having a "Dead Sled" to drag a deer with,They are cheap & lightweight & Can be used for sheltering as well.I'm glad to see the flood relief goal was surpassed by a Whole bunch more,Cheers!!
What a great video, for archers like myself, and even for those who aren't familiar with a bow. Gotta love the simplicity! Thanks again for all the effort and time it takes to make these videos. I really appreciate it! God bless you and stay safe out there.
Sir, just a classic video for survival applications in the deer-rich Midwest, and elsewhere. Iowa, for example, has been full of deer, which generally beat cattails and frogs for a protein source. I believe that a 40-pound draw weight is a limit for certain scholastic archery competitions, which further recommends this particular bow as a learning tool. The Bushman’s Knife is a totally multipurpose bargain. I find this video to possibly be your best yet. Young survivalists will greatly benefit. Sir, T Y again!
If a fella already had the rubber fletching, and did not want to put feathers on, in theory you could try cutting the rubber fletching to mimic feathers. Maybe 40 cuts. Would increase wind resistance a bit though
Great video!! I have seen Dave's video on this now and it is definitely on the short list!! Just wish he would bring back the slingbox concept, as it could fill alot of roles as far as mobility.
I use a recurve bow to do therapy on my shoulders when I dislocated them. Another modification to those plastic fletchings on the arrow you can do is use a razor blade or scalpel and slice the flectings like the feather ones. It works well enough for its intended purpose. As always young man, great video.
@@barrycartner3855 As narrow as you like, I stopped using a scalpel and now use scissors for mustaches as they are sharp and I can make between 10 to 15 slices, 20 if the fletching is a longer one.
Don't leave that bow strung for a couple days. Yes I know you aren't supposed to do that. On the other hand I've got recurve bows I've left strung for months that haven't lost poundage or suffered in any other way. I imagine setting with that bow in the hot sun for very long could be bad news as well. Maybe I just got a bad one but imo the center of the riser it too thin to be made from soft plastic. I've got more than a few bows and it's cheap enough it's not a big deal. The limbs seem good and it actually shot great before it bent. I got it to put into one of my spare BOB packs. I have take down bows for all my bags and think they are great to have in case I need something that's relatively quiet that is capable of taking game without announcing my location.
Your videos are so full of practical and meaningful information. Your extensive experience is definitely obvious. I learn something new with every posting you make. Thank you, as a pepper you are really helping me see what is needed in all situations. Awesome!!!
Great kit. I'm trying to put something similar together for myself using at least 4 different platforms. Takedown, compound, recurve, and a slingbow. I appreciate the tips and different features of your system. Makes putting them all together that much easier.
what i have found with bows... made from modern materials such as fibreglass or the polyplastics they're currently using in Turkey they suffer zero loss of power left strung for at least three months that i have personally tested. pound for pound the Ottoman recurve composite bow from medieval times is second only to the modern compound bow for throwing arrows both faster or further, therefore, pound for pound they retain far more energy in the arrow on impact. i have one from Metbow in Turkey which is one of the bows made from modern materials i tested for retaining power without resting between sessions. she is forty one and a guarter inches in length when strung and weighs just over a quarter of a kilogramme or just under three quarters of a pound. this particular type of bow is considered a horse bow and sure enough i do have a couple more from that stable such as a traditional Mongolian bow. another advantage to these bows apart from being surprisingly short and practical for a medieval military bow, yes they go up to warbow poundages without increasing their length at all and only a small increase in gross weight, they are also ambidextrous. that means that as they are not a 'centre shot' bow then the technique used to overcome the paradox is superior to that which we use on modern target bows or a modern recurve with a shelf. literally speaking having mastered the technique we can expect to be accurate with just a stick and a piece of twine if needs be. i used to consider a compound handy for a bug out bow, firstly because they remain strung at all times so pick up and throw first thing on waking is plausible and secondly being shorter in length i figured they're just a bit more practical. since discovering the Arabic and Asiatic military archery bows and techniques i haven't taken either the compound or the modern western recurve out of the bag!
Great video, Andrew. I went on Amazon and bought the bow (40 lbs). I got it a few days ago. Getting another string is a great idea. Also going to find some screws with knurling so they can be installed without an Allen wrench. I tried making some take down arrows without much success. They weren't all that straight. Great idea for a water proof quiver.
I saw that bow while scrolling and simply had to comment. I have that bow, bought off ebay to use in our lousy winter weather here in Maine. In a word, it sucks. I realize it's probably indestructible and losing or breaking it would be no loss but it does shoot poorly, especially if you're used to a good or reasonably good bow. As far as the arrow that come with it they can be make more usable by slicing the plastic in the same direction as an actual feather. It makes them more flexible and they react on the shelf much like a real feather.
Those bows on Amazon that are left are at $50 now, but I just bought the same thing on eBay for $38 Thanks for the video and the tip on that bow. I just ordered one.
Suggestion on future video topic: All year round bug out bag (Inch bag). By the way no lone wolf in a bugout or poop hit the fan scenario! Also I love archery and hunting. I hunt whitetail, hogs, turkey, cottontail rabbits, and squirrels (I hunt the small game with a .22 pellet gun, and larger game with either my compound bow (45lb) or my handmade bow (45lb) that I made). Also I trap game and fish a lot and kayak fish.
A couple of fishing heads and a spool of banking line would set you up for a fishing bow for survival too in that kit if there's no big game...is my first idea with this excellent kit. Thanks for the video!
My stinger 2 is a six shot magazine feed repeating crossbow. I have speed loaders. The broad heads are used for hunting. The bodkin tips are soft body armor piercing. They date back to medieval times against knights in armor. The limbs range from 35 lbs to 120 lbs. People have killed boars and deer with them. Plus it's all light weight dense polymer. For survival and self defense when everyone has run out of bullets I won't.
Oh. I thought this was a newfangled kit you were reviewing. I already have an archery based bug out bag. As luck would have it, an actual archery bag was on sale and that is my EDC. It has hardware for attaching an arrow storage tube and the bow can be strapped in with a padded cup to prevent the lower limb getting bashed about. It even takes a camelback. Not bad for 60 Canuck bucks.
Ace show mate.... the larger knife you have is great... I purchased one in Poland while living there...... But converted it into a survival knife. The hollow hand is very handy to store fire lighting and fishing equipment.. Among other things.
Great idea. For some reason, despite being a bowhunter AND having put together multiple bugout and edc kits, I never considered having a bowhunter's bugout kit. I guess I always thought I'd only bug out with a rifle. There goes another afternoon :P A couple of questions/comments: - Why this specific bow? Why not something like the Samick Sage? Very affordable, but the quality is beyond question. Seems like going cheap on a tension weapon that you're relying on in a SHTF situation, is asking for problems. Not just malfunction, but possible injury. Not trying to be difficult, genuinely wondering. - Do you not experience stacking, shooting such a short bow? - Do you not use a tab or a glove? - Seems like a spare string is a must-have. Along with spare nocking points and the corresponding tools (crimpers, T-square, dykes). Is there a specific philosophy behind not including those? - The takedown arrows are badass. I didn't even know those existed, but definitely need to get (and refletch) some now, thank you! - I would say the PVC pipe quiver is severe overkill on the weight, and will rattle when you're hunting. I know you said it'll double as a water container, but you're better off with just a proper water container, that's not going to off-gas and leak chlorine into your water. A thinner tube made out of polycarbonate would do the job at a fraction of the weight. Also, probably needs a sling. Or how about just getting a normal three-arrow bow-mounted quiver, and stashing the back halves of the arrows between the suspended front halves? - How is that steel cord saw? I've only seen/tried cheap ones that broke the first time I tried to cut a branch. Is yours reliable, and if so, which one is it? - To anyone aside from the owner of this channel - unless you're already a badass bare-bow hunter who rarely misses, put a multipin sight on your bow. I know, I know, a sight on a trad bow is sacrilege. However if you're actually serious about feeding yourself and your loved ones in a crisis, and you're NOT already a ninja, you're going to want a sight on your bow. Pride is a stupid reason to starve to death. Outside of that, unlike the vast majority of survival and edc kit videos out there, yours is very practical. You can tell it's put together by a hunter because there's no for gimmicky bullshit. I would just say bring a few more tools for maintenance/repairs of all the other gear, and a small solar/hand-crank generator so you can charge your headlamp (and whatever else). Thanks again!
i bought a 3 pc takedown recurve bow 60 pound draw weight, bow fishing reel and gear, whisker bisq, quiver, red dot sight, flashlight stabilizer mount, etc i have not gotten around to using it yet, i still enjoy the power and accuracy of my crossbow too much
This is a fantastic idea. Im an archer and i have takedown bows, however, the riser and limbs too long. This might sound stupid but never thought of a kids bow ! I dont think ive seen 40lb limbs used by a child in the UK before? I shoot anywhere between 40 and 60lb in general. It would take a well trained child to accurately shoot a 40lb ! Maybe i will look online. Great video Andrew 👍
Just ordered a bushman bowie. Cool design. MUCH better than the hollow handle Rambo design from First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part 2. For the bushman, you could seal off the openings at both ends with some duct tape or DIY plug, and keep some stuff in there like fishing tackle, matches, etc. You could also wrap the handle with paracord, and then secure with hockey stick tape (yeah I'm Canadian). The bowie model is preferable as it can serve as a chopper. Incredibly affordable also. The plastic sheath is much better than leather, as leather is a pain if it gets wet. Make sure to drill a small pinhole at the bottom of the sheath for water drainage. Cold Steel is pretty dialed in.
I can vouch for the cold steel knives. I have the bowie version and have used it since it first came out with the cheap terrible sheath. I still carry with me today. The funny part is I have buttoned with it for many years and it is still holding strong.
Your bow is a pure cold weather bow! Heated up in the summer sun the plastc middle will bend sideways and make it useless! We have three of these cheap bows in our wilderness school, all featuring the same problem!
Those plastic vanes on the arrows aren't helical. I take a repair kit with my bow in a fanny bag that includes glue, sand paper, spare fletchings and the helical clamp off my jig. My biner is a screwgate and I like 'Battlecord' in place of Paracord in case I need to lower something heavy. I take two nylon 1"x1/4" pullies [boating stores] to drag really heavy shit. I haven't seen anyone do that on u-tube... Maybe Dave C. ? Like a block and tackle but horizontal. Some swade leather glued [contact cement] to the shelf and riser will help save wear on the arrows. Quieter too. Some fur around the inside of the arrow tube/quiver helps stop noise. My peepers are 12x 25mm. Damn good video Andrew! Cheers buddy 💜👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen
