  • A primitive bamboo bow, primitive arrows with barbed black palm tips, a coconut torch, tide pools and sleeping fish! Sounds like the makings for an island survival primitive catch and cook to me! This week I’m down in the Caribbean with friend, and fellow Alone participant, Matt Coradino. We’re building primitive bamboo bow fishing gear with machetes and heading out to the ocean tide pools to bow fish by torchlight. The coconut shells burn with a bright light so we can spot fish sleeping in the shallow pools. If you’re into primitive survival, catch and cook, or bow building, this one’s for you!
    Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

    I appreciate how you showed all of the missed shots when you guys were hunting, rather than cutting those out and only showing the one successful shot. Generally that leaves people like myself with more honest expectations when doing similar things. Also, the coconut torch! So cool.

    Recently on this channel I requested a primitive bow & arrow hunt, but never dreamed it would be so impressive. Clay, you exceeded my expectations by a million percent. Thanks for making this video, and there is no doubt why you won the Alone series. Incredible!

    What a great video clay. I would have never guessed that you’re supposed to use the inside of the bamboo for the back of the bow, and basically tiller the back. Opposite of any wood bow. Very interesting. Without knowing this I would have done it backwards.

    I think I have found the first and so far only survival channel that actually shows how to achieve success in survival and that does not cheat to avoid failure. Because with most people the plan either never works and they give up, and the other half usually cheats and only pretends that they really caught the fish, for example.

    Nice bow and torch design and build however to catch fish at night with local materials, it would seem most practical to just block off the pools entirely and catch them at low tide, second to that maybe a hand woven net?, lastly a multiple prong spear would seem to work better as tridents have existed since the caveman era.

    Your skills are legit.
    I wanted to ask to your perspective on a theory I have.
    I think media has shown bushcraft style, survival videos on shows like Alone, Survivor (Kinda), Dual Survivor, Alaskan Bush People etc.
    My opinion is that this is designed to make people think that survival is hard without a corporate master.
    I have bushcraft skills, but I also use solar, biofuel, water catchment etc.
    My philosophy is to mix tech, with bushcraft skills.
    I wonder if our media, is showing "Off Grid" living, as really really hard work, instead of showing people how much easier it is than a fossil life, in 2023.
    I guess, my question is, why wouldn't bushcraft, take advantage of modern tech, and add to the arsenal, and make life easier?
