As someone who's of Cherokee background, we used to take a white hot coal from a campfire and drop it down one end of the river cane while puffing on it like a pipe until it reached the other end. Then we cleaned it with a thinner piece of cane as a shaft and fist fulls of sand until smooth. The darts would be made of thin splits of hardwood such as hickory, black locust, and long thick thorns of honey locust. The fluff from dried thistle fluff or cattail, or even rabbit or squirrel tail. It was for young boys to shoot stew meat such as squirrels and doves during the winter when hunting was poor.
@Dog Faced Pony Soldier I know it's been a long time but patience is a virtue so very carefully lol. But on a serious note there are plenty of canes so persistence is key. Edit:also it's not that important for the bore to perfectly smooth because the shaft/ feathering of the dart usually fills/help the dart move forward
That knife is like a Smashett I need to start paying attention to the Gear you and Joe brought out. I go out there with an Ozark Trail fixed blade in the steel holds up pretty good if it gets bends you can bend it back it doesn't snap but it is fairly strong and you can baton.
Looks like it didn't work too well. The dart might be too heavy to blow. Also, what does he mean by "clean it a little bit more"? He already sealed it.
mrkiky There's a difference between shooting wood and flesh... The blowgun was ok in my book... You can use a long enough straight stick with something at the end to clean it even when its sealed... You know nothing about survival... Try to think before you type some shit
Damn this demeanor is so cool. Overall nice person. And thrives in nature while respecting it. Noway in hell anybody can be mad at this guy. Nvm just big businesses
Sultan Hamza make your blowgun longer because if it's longer then it will have more velocity allowing you to shoot farther and harder. Good luck buddy. :-)
This is why I like watching Bear grylls... he doesnt leave us on a cliffhanger like this... like how in the actual fuck did youtube postins get to the point where it's just a white lie then the vijeo being straight garbage.. I enjoy the show a lot more than Bear, but whoever making his vijeos making him look good
