Traditional Bow Making Course--A few clips of the process
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2017
- Just a few clips compiled from a recent traditional bow making course run at the Sun Foundation in central Illinois.
In this class each student carves, scrapes and sands a seasoned split log--making it into a fully functional hunting bow. The bow-stave wood is from the Osage Orange tree--one of the most prized and effective woods for bow-making. We spent 3 days making a bow that will take down any animal on this continent. If interested in taking this class please get in touch via my website...i will be running a few throughout the US this year. In this class you will be instructed in the stages of making your bow and receive close guidance in the art of shaping and tillering a hand-made bow. Because every hand-made bow is unique, the group atmosphere will allow you to learn at an accelerated rate--as everyone gains insights from each other's bows. This is one of my favorite courses and will become your most unique hobby/obsession. Each student will leave with their own bow.
Do another survival thing like the Island Survival, Forest Survival or Desert Survival. They were really good. Like if you agree
yeah, Hopefully soon....those are definitely everyone's favorites, they also take a ton of energy and time to make. Hopefully by late spring I'll have a new location video. Figured id post something in the meantime. Hope you like.
like survive in an ice-desert or how to survive in space.... is this channel dead yet?
Tom McElroy-Wild Survival it must be tiresome huh?
Love the folk song over the video, the bows look great!
I have seen all of your videos. I appreciate your content and knowledge. Would love to see you do more long term survival outings if time ever permits you. Keep up the good work Tom.
Thanks Matthew, Id love to make those all year long, but finding the time away is limiting. Hopefully this spring...Im looking into what new location would be best...maybe the Sierra, California Coast or Pacific Northwest.
I think Big Sur would be interesting, its very beutiful
plz do i always look everyday to see if u make long survival videos
He LIVES!
Thanks Tom, you need to upload more often... your channel would be huge! But if not, I'll continue to be happy every time I see an upload :) you are so talented!
Hey Tom! No one else is doing this - the full monty primitive skills thing. I echo what all below say encouraging you to do more long term survival vids.
It has been 1 year since your last video! Your channel is amazing and I hope you keep making survival videos!
I read a few of the other comments and I agree, the longer term survival videos are your best. But people aren't giving you enough appreciation for the other videos. The other videos are really nice as well and I enjoy them!
The sound track is beautiful.
know what it is?
Yay your back and have a happy new year
Beautiful bow.
This is just amazingly done new friend! All the aspects just flowed together for an overall, astonishing piece of art at the end! Thank you so much for your time in putting this together so stunningly well! Can't wait to join you on your next adventure 👍
Love your videos come teach in Michigan
Hello Tom, hope you are well and happy!
Very cool! Tons of work there but wow what results.
I just want to make sure you are still alive and doing well. Love the videos.
Awesome video as always! :D
Your amazing I have watch all your video they are all amazing
I'm really glad I discovered your channel, your survival in the wild videos are amazingly helpful! I wish I could have the chance to get out into the wild and be able to learn to survive on my own but sadly I'm stuck in the city life for now. More survival videos coming in the future? Your knowledge and expertise on this is really valued :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TOM
WOW 😯 that’s so cool😌

I fucking love your videos dude! No joke, you are my biggest idol and inspire me everyday. Please keep doing what you are doing. Everywhere I look I see so much that is wrong with our world I am so, so hapoy that there are people like you who are preserving the practices that made us who we are
Thank you! Hopefully i can crank out more vids this year.
I wish we had these things where I live
Good video would like to see some hunting videos with those bows 👍🏻
Can you do another survival in a place for a week please love those vids.
Hey man love the videos please make more survival vids I need to know and someday I want to go out and survive in the wilderness now a days the government really doesn’t want you to be independent because they need us so thanks for the vids.
i love you vids! :D
It's been so long since a new videos been released, that I forgot I was subscribed.
I really love your vids. You are great at explaining and have heart. Thanks for the great info ... I know you kind of cover it in the Sonora one but do you have a how to spot good clay and all about clays at all? I live in Mass and would love to look at a marsh or water and know how it works.
Finally ur backkkk
Could you maybe do a northwestern forest survival video? The survival videos are always fantastic, but different forests have different types of resources and different climates, and it gets really cold up here so it would be good to learn how to combat the rainy and sometimes in winter snowy weather
Great work brotha! Keep up the great work. We’ll see ya in the the next video...I’m out camping right now too! I’ll post my first UA-cam video soon! 💪🏽🔥👽
You should really make more videos. If you do, you should have millions of subs😊
I like the music , whats the name of the person singing ?
Ahhhhhh, the music
I'm relatively new to your channel, and I really like your videos! If it's possible, could you share a method on how to make a water purifier out of all natural components (no soda bottles, plastic buckets, etc.)?
Cool
Omg a new video
Hey, if you red this I was wondering what kind of education you got to know how to do all the survival stuff.
nice vid been a while
Can you do how to survive in the north woods? For a week? That would be awesome!
Can you make another solo survival vid please!
Hello, great video! Could you tell me the name of the song played? For some reason no app seems to recognize it.
Tom is still active...check out his FB page. May not have time for creating YT videos.... Regardless, he is still out there doing his thing!! Good on him!!
Thanks Gary...yep, still going...hopefully Ill get a new solo survival video out by fall
@@wildsurvivalskills Looking forward to it Tom!
You got a new sub, I know you've seen heliomonsters....? But have you seen any other other monsters? The ones with big feet or wolf heads
Please make more
U should make vids often
hey i hope this gets a reply... any more videos coming soon?
Where did you go dude?
Was the log seasoned?
Yes, generally with Osage you want at least a year....these have been seasoning for about 15 years.
I love your videos, do you run a course in California?
I am going to run a few in April in California...probably near Santa Cruz and Humboldt area. I'm working on all of that now. Any class in particular?
Tom McElroy-Wild Survival I was looking at your advanced survival class

Buy me one pls :))
Is there an age limit?
For that class, yes, there is, only because of the use of a lot of knives and some power tools. Probably 15-16 would be fine if you have worked with knives and woodworking before.
Hi

Sad that you are not doing it yourself in the forest
So many shit people out there getting more subscribers. You need to make more videos. Oh yeah, that's right. Yourube is about quantity, not quality
