Everyone's been asking about the knife/parang so here ya go. amzn.to/3NyA3Xb

No clickbait, no annoying intro, straight to the point, sponsors discreetly in the corner... What a Man.
-
I like how you can hear the birds, leaves and the stream in the background. Their is no music over it. It’s nice
-
Its now 4am for me and im watching a man make the coolest bow and arrow ive ever seen this is amazing
-
That blade you use looks like it'd be able to slice an atom in two.
-
I’ve never seen a bow like this and now that you’ve built it, it seems so obvious. That’s awesome
-
Been an archer for a long time and I've known about the Penobscot but I've never actually watched anyone make one. This was cool and informational, great stuff man.
-
It blows my mind how much work and dedication goes into making any bow, and yet, it's such a simple design
-
I'm Indonesian but I like your way of adventuring/camping. I pray you and your family are always healthy
-
This is guy is flat out next level. I’ve been bushcrafting for 30 years and no one does it better than this guy. He was a blast to watch on Alone and practically gave a “how to” demonstration on how to navigate the harsh wilderness. His content on you tube is terrific….he’s a class act.
-
I feel like this is far better then most of the "survival" bows I have seen. amazing job.
-
Going to make this a project for me and my son to do over the weekend sometime. Thanks for taking the time and showing us the process of making one! Keep up the awesome work you do.
-
You can feel the power of the shot based on how much the bow itself bent from him pulling it back. Nice job dude
-
I'm used to seeing full bench and draw knives etc in these bow making videos. Loved the way you used machete both to chop and cleave like hatchet as well as shave and notch like knife. That blade in stump technique is awesome. Great video!
-
That was a damn fine bow making! I would never have thought to build one that way, with a reverse short bow to increase the strength of the main bow. That would allow anyone to make a primitive bow out of any wood you find in your area. Thank you for showing us this process! I will remember it forever and be able to show/teach others and make one myself.

First-time I'm seeing one of your vids, and I must say, I'm impressed, as a kid, I taught myself how to make and use my own bows and arrows, and with every step through this video, I'm wondering how you're going to deal with the issues I always struggled with like the wood snapping, or not having the right angle of curves, etc. and then you start using different tricks or methods of dealing with it. Definitely going to be watching more.

The hyperrealism in these videos is so fascinating.
-
Wow, I grew up making my own traditional english D longbows with my dad and brothers and have never seen this style of bow. The final product makes me think that it looks like a compound/traditional hybrid of sorts. Very cool!
-
I'm 43 years old, an outdoorsman from New Zealand, and I shoot archery. I am impressed, sir.
-
Not only do long pieces not have to be used, but it is more practical because the bow is smaller thanks to this. I would bet it will get handy in dense forests. Really nice.
