I don't know why but I just enjoy this so much! It's nice to go back in the past and slowed down.
Thanks for another great video! 👌
If you heat the cane shafts up over the fire until they start to turn shiny and then rub them down with a cloth, it gives them a nice water-repellent coating of the cane's natural oils. Great for extending the life of the arrows
Thanks. Great instruction and intertainment
Great video.
Excellent instruction from Ryan! Great video!
...wow...the man is magic!!!
Thank you sir for your lesson.i love your primitive style bow build ❤
these arrows fly perfectly straight!
TY Ryan. 👍
For those that don’t have or can’t otherwise acquire bamboo or river cane in their area and it’s invasive to your area, has anyone ever experimented with how Japanese knotweed does with making primitive arrows?
Do I see an attempt at making a fire hardened hickory wood bow to the right of the wood stove there?
Cool
Good information
I want a comparison between stemmed westpoints and clovis points so bad please
Hey, I don't have river cane in my area (North Dakota) but I have Phragmites reed. I used it and was very impressed with how fast and straight it shoots. My question I guess is how does it compare to river cane?
I have a question for the community about their thoughts on found arrowheads:
leave them where you found them?
Turn them into a tribal elder or cultural center?
Use it to hunt with respect to the craftsman who created it?
Many thanks!
@WildernessStudy hey man honestly I wouldn't view it as disrespectful, personally, if you hunted with them. That's just my opinion though.. if I were to lose one of my points I would definitely want someone to hunt with it and appreciate it. But a lot of people might disagree.
@@pierceschmeichel8711 thank you for your reply and I really appreciate your input. I found a rose quartz arrowhead and chert arrowhead both were outside of a national park here in Utah. Park rules state to leave artifacts in place and I adhere to that standard. My personal opinion lines up with yours. I was hiking and praying/meditating if you will , and talking to my grandma Rose and moments later I found a rose quartz arrowhead ♥️♥️♥️
While on another hike out near an old mining claim I was thinking about the distinct possibility that our power grid could be attacked and what i should do to prepare and if I ran out of ammo how would I hunt for game to survive (I live off grid and had found this channel a few years ago but got busy and haven't watched in a long time..) well I almost stepped on this amazing chert arrowhead! It felt like it was a sign. Both times. Especially if you look up the symbolism of both quartz and chert respectively.. so I think of the hunter and his family and tribe and all the knowledge and skills that go into crafting their bow , strings, arrow shafts and heads.. I thought about how the hunter must have felt when he missed his mark and lost his arrow.. how that arrowhead could be a thousand years old and passed down from father to son and so on .. and I get the feeling that they would like to see another hunter use that arrowhead which they worked so hard at making so long ago... They would want to see it used again to help feed another family and tribe. Now, I don't plan on using it as anything other than a template and inspiration to craft my own but if it comes down to it - I will with love and respect let loose this ancient tool to put meat on the table!
Thank you and happy hunting!
@@WildernessStudyyou found it dawg it’s yours
hey Ryan, love your vids. question what roll does arrow length play in relation to draw length? you seem to have arrows about 6'' to 8'' longer than draw length. If you didn't want to use spine tester, would you build arrows 6'' to 8'' longer than draw and keep them all same length to help aid "instinctive aim"? thanks for your time you invest in our community.
I prefer a little longer arrow. Around 30-32 inches seems to be about perfect for me to retain the weights I am looking for and make the arrows flight a bit more forgiving
I know you like your arrows long... do you base arrow length on your draw, or do you have a fixed length you like? My draw is about 26"... but I like arrows around 31" (but I'm still learning what works best for me). Thanks for all you do Ryan! I have a pair of your cane atlatl spears, and they are fantastic!
My standard length is 30-31 inches as well. My draw depending on the bow is 22-23 inches
nice
I bought some raw bamboo arrow shafts.they are 39" long and rated @50-55# ... If I cut them shorter will that make them stiffer maybe 55-60# range ??
I like to Cherokee 2 fletch on mine
Do you sell ready made arrows? Price per dozen?
What if i use only two feathers insted of three?
🎉 tell me the best bow and arrow set to buy ?
I just saw this today and it has me thinking about you bro, I hope you're doing well. I think this might work because you do all of your DIY builds in the field. It's not like you can't find a nail but because you use River Kane already some kind of hollow tube same as practical and to substitute a nail you could probably just use split bamboo. Perhaps some sinew to attach it. Maybe it's a little nerdy and medieval but I think this might work out. This is from that shadavirsity guy. It's a way of carrying your bow on your back. ruclips.net/video/G-uy2Avsmkg/видео.htmlsi=AvUTJaorAYR2BAEO
Node??? Joint???
🎉 as long as you eat the meat❤...thank you
I made some match weight 200gr points and they dont shoot right the points rise up and the feathers ride down ,they basically swap ends ,what should I do?
Seems like you might need a larger fletching to create more air drag to keep the tail from dropping. This might be the easiest thing to test. Also find an arrow that shoots fine from your bow and compare with the trouble arrow.
Make sure you use 3 feathers that have same direction(from left wing or from right wing) if you mix different feathers they will create sideways drag instead of rotation
Hey Ryan, do you know of anyone who could donate a few stones or spalls to me? I know it sounds very needy and weird Haha but I have looked on about 5 different mountains in the sawtooth range and can’t find anything other than real small golf ball or very rarely a baseball size obsidian stone. I have tried knapping ceramics, glass from thrift stores, I am about ready to just give up on the idea.
You’re not all that far from huge obsidian sources in Nevada and Oregon. Also, look for lime stone deposits or outcrops and you will usually find chert. The other place to look is in rock shops and you can often find several different types of knappables… keep at it!
Sorry primitive archers didn't have that junk LMFAO

Why use primitive methods when you can use modern technology to make a similar arrow which is stronger and faster to make?
