Island Survival Challenge: Bamboo Bow Build, Hunt, Catch & Cook

This may be the best primitive survival/bow building video I've ever done. While on a recent trip to a tropical island, I took on the challenge of building a primitive survival bow, arrow, and bow string from local materials and seeing if I could complete an island survival challenge catch and cook. The primitive bow string was made from variegated snake plant, the primitive bow, from a large piece of bamboo. For the arrow I used a smaller bamboo shoot and tipped it with a trade point. I built a fire with a bamboo fire saw to straighten the bamboo arrow shaft and complete the survival bow build. When my primitive bow hunting kit was complete I took it out to hunt feral goats in the steep cliffs of the island. After sitting through a few rain showers and high winds, I was finally able to get close enough for a shot at a small goat, perfect for primitive cooking. I used my large knife (the Marshal from Montana Knife Company) to build everything, including the bamboo cooker. I cooked the goat in a primitive bamboo pressure cooker with coconut water and mango. It was one of the best wild, primitive cooked meals I've ever enjoyed!

  • Little did he know, he could've made the entire bow out of bamboo. String, Bow, arrow shaft, arrow tip (there used to be a video on how to make one and it's shot clean through a banana tree and then a coconut) as well as the fletching from the leaves. Bamboo is so cool. Also since you were able to get those spider plant fibers so (relatively) easy, I would suggest learning the rudiger/fire roll. Everyone always says "BuT tHeReS nO cHaRcOaL iN tHe BuSh" it doesn't need charcoal it works with a host of natural fibers and a plethora of fillers and itll save you loads of calories over methods like the fire saw. Happy crafting! 😁👍

Brought back so many memories of using large bamboo to create functional survival items. Thank you for sharing your experiences with an old man like me!

  • Awesome content. Takeaway for me is you can use bamboo for pretty much everything. I wish you didn't leave out some of the little details, like how you tied off the fletching at the end (clove hitch?) and how you started skinning the goat, though I guess they probably wouldn't allow that on KZhead. Love the text tips. Just enough info to be useful but not so much as to slow down the flow of the video. Thanks for creating this and sharing it with the world.
