I can't believe that with all the primitive content I've searched, that only now I come across your stuff. You definitely have a unique way to do your thing, which is great.
Wow! that was a cool demonstration. I was wondering how that old marrow smelled. From my experience with it, not too good, phew! Excellent idea to make those bone sliders to straighten your arrowshafts. I used to gather mine years ago and tie them in a tight bundle and let them dry, they seemed to straighten themselves somewhat and then did a little heating and bending when I needed one. I love the location you shot this video at, thanks for sharing your skills here with all of us!
Hehe! Well, it was supposed to be aged just right....but I see I prematurely extracted it..Most of it didn't smell at least...lol...This is great hearing about your arrow making, Paleoman. You are describing how a lot of folk like to do it. Maybe you could talk a little about some of your arrow work sometime. I just thought that was the coolest little spot. under that fallen willow. the trunk was keeping the rain off my head and the fire heated things up well. Felt real homey too! Great hearing from you Paleoman, keep us posted with your latest activities!...Ben
first time I've seen it done with bone seems like a good technique . It looks like your really enjoying the day and your spot in the woods . super cool fire kit and tinder probably the way the older folks would have done it in your area. thanks again Ben keep the videos coming
Thanks, Mike, good to hear from you. It's a tool that has it's place in certain scenarios. I like to use it at the ends where I need more leverage and don't want to scald my fingers. I do most of my straightening with my fingers and over my knee. I just thought that was the neatest little spot and it really felt like home real quick! Thanks again for watching, Mike, and I have a video request for you. Would love to see you out shooting the bow sometime!....Ben
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Greyson Jake i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hey, sorry I’m just seeing this, usually my test at the end is rolling it on a flat surface if it rolls really smooth, you know you have it really straight but no I’ve never tried rolling it straight under heat. I have heated the entire arrow shaft to temper the shafts, though, thanks for the cool comment. Take care.
Hey, Kowboy! That is a cool thought. Maybe he just liked burning his fingers too. I have straightened a lot of arrows by hand and over my knee and found that this little tool can really protect your fingers from getting scalded after hours of straightening. I don't use it a lot, mostly as I get out to the tips and need a little more leverage.Great hearing from you and thanks for the cool comment!....Ben
Man I can smell that bone cheese from here. Aged 2 years, that must be some of that vintage 2017 stuff, haha! Was that some yucca material there in your bow drill set up? It sure looked familiar. Glad things are cooling off for you up there. We’ve finally started getting some decent cool fronts down this way. See if I can’t get out there and get myself back on the tube. Hope to see some of those arrows in action this deer season. Take care Ben!!
Haha.... I misjudged the aging process a little bit. Most of that cheese was just right but as I got the the heart of that bone....oh well, wasn't too bad. Hey, you saw that right....That was indeed one of the yucca sets you were kind enough to send me. Really works fantastic, too! Good ole Yucca...it's a awesome plant! Looking forward to seeing you back on the trail, Dale! All the best, my friend....Ben

Like the bowline of leather and of course the simple but useful technique to work on the arrows, have a great weekend, Taro
Thanks you, Taro! Glad you could enjoy! I have a lot of fun working on arrows! Great hearing from you!...All the best!.....Ben
That's clever. I like really simple tools like that. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, James glad you liked! Give it a try sometime and let me know how it works fro you!....Ben

@Greyson Jake it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Satisfying to watch. Please keep at it
Thank you my friend!
That’s cool. I’ve used the leg bone knuckle for a bearing block for a bow drill. Works great. Thanks for sharing.
You Bet! Thanks for watching!
Great idea for a quick but durable tool, I'll definitely give it a go one day
Thanks, my friend! Glad you liked! Keep us posted with your projects! All the best!.....Ben

If you're pressed for time, skip ahead to about the 5:25 mark.
Thank you!
Genius man!
Thanks for the good word, bstoney22! All the best!......Ben
Man where did you go. Looking for new videos in the future. Enjoy your channel
Thanks so much really means a lot
Have you tried heating the entire shaft and rolling it on flat surface? I feel like it could make the Arrow almost Dowel straight.

Kinda of surprised Otzi wasn't found with similar tools.

what will you use the marrow for? a source of grease?i cant imagine its still edible
Yes, grease from the bone works well. I don't know about edible but I would like to try it sometime!....Ben
TheTribeOfBenjamin I’d try it with a fresher bone
@@jimcooper4578 lol...well that would be "spoiling" the fun then...later
Neat!
Thanks, Brother! Glad you could watch!.....Ben
