One of the things I love about primitive bows and bow building is the seemingly countless variations of this simple and effective primitive weapon. Primitive cultures from all around the world came up with bow and arrow designs to suit the materials and demands of their regions. In areas of the world where "good" bow wood is difficult to find, the Penobscot Bow design allows us to build high performance primitive bows capable of taking big game like deer or elk. The Penobscot design is essentially a variation of the cable backed bow used by several primitive peoples in the far north where high quality selfbow wood is hard to find. In addition, many species of wood can be force dried and fire hardened to yield even better performing archery equipment in a very short time which is exactly what you need for the ideal survival bow. This is also a great advanced survival or bushcraft project! If you're into gaming you may have seen a similar bow in Far Cry Primal, the double bow.

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!
@frankgeimer5952 1年前

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.
