In this video Clay Hayes demonstrates how to build a primitive survival bow from a live eastern redcedar tree to finished long bow in less than two days.
Eastern Red cedar and western juniper are very closely related and commonly found throughout the US and parts of Canada and Mexico. It makes a great primitive wood bow when backed with rawhide or other material. But what makes the junipers great for survival bows is the low initial moisture content and how quickly the wood drys after cutting.
Someone with a little knowledge and a hatchet or large knife could make a bow like this in a survival situation and be hunting big game within two days. Practicing bushcraft, archery, self reliance, and survival skills is a great way to foster a closer connection with nature and hone the skills that may come in handy some day when the zombie apocalypse comes...
This was filmed at the Oklahoma Selfbow Jamboree.
