Island Survival Challenge: Bamboo Bow Build, Hunt, Catch & Cook
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2024
- 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!

Finally a survival bow build with natural cord. Nice!
Thank ya
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! 😁👍
I’ll check that out.
@@clayhayeshunterI can provide a link if you want.
Bro this must be the best youtube content i’ve ever seen
Really enjoyed the video Clay! I spent eleven years in Hawaii as a youth and was able to see it before it became densely populated with so many restrictions to adventures like yours! 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!
Thanks Jim
Just when I thought the fiber bow string was cool, the bamboo pressure cooker blew my mind!
a bamboo pressure cooker now that dope
A bamboo pressure cooker? Ingenious!
Right?!
@@clayhayeshunterwhat’s skinny on that beautiful blade you’ve been using lately?
@@clayhayeshunter..any air fryers in the pipeline? 😅 seriously though its easy to see how you did so well on Alone, even without having fat reserves. Your skills are very impressive 👍
@clayhayeshunter thank you for such a beautiful video!

Clay's knowledge, resourcefulness, and skill will always amaze me. Well done!
Incredible! What a freaking awesome video with such a plethora of skills. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The way the guy did the string , you know this is incredibly.
Oh damn! All the natural stuff is mind boggling but that broadhead is flat out badass!! Great video Clay, one of your vest in my humble opinion.
Thanks
I just love these bow making videos.
That whole process was simply amazing and a testament to you skills. Wow! Thanks Clay!
many thanks
Really good transmission for the young and holdest génération ! thank's Clay
Bamboo pressure cooker is the coolest thing i have ever seen
Watching this master craftsman at work is a rare, humbling and almost mystical experience. Truly hypnotic. Thank you Clay.
Wow, thank you!
Clay, just a masterful and primitive display of skill.I enjoy watching how you use your tools. The sound of a sharp blade slicing through coconut husk and scraping bamboo is equiste.
One of the best videos I've seen in a while. Well done
Thank ya
That pressure cooker design was awesome, never seen it before great idea.
1:32
Gotta say, it's amazing watching that plant change from a green stalk, to scraped white fibers.
And you make it look easy.
Amazing.
He really just build a pressure cooker out of bamboo. Amazing
Awesome video Clay, I’m loving these latest releases
I luv them catch n cook vids
Been making arrows for over 65 years! I have to say that you are the man! Very nice Clay!
Wow, thanks!
I like that you aren't like this massive muscle beast and still have the ability to do a lot of labor. Even smaller guys can survive if you have the will. I also really enjoyed the silence and the text rather than talking my ear off. Wonderful content.
....knowledgeable, resourceful, skillful... congratulations... from Colombia.... 👍👍👍 ...
Excelente Clay saludos!!
Defenetly your best RUclips film so far...no talking, pure ection! Thanks for the info, gritting from israel
Most excellent!
Looked mighty tasty….nice job.
Amazing that he did all that in just 26 minutes. I feel like I’d still be making the bow 🤷🏼♂️
😜
I'm curious how long it actually took from starting the bow to killing the goat?
did it all in the crocs too, what a chad
Y'all only 6 more subs to 500K. Lets get him there!!!!
Done!
Amazing video Clay. You and the Marshall never disappoint.
Always great Clay. Thanks for sharing.
Hey mate, you did so many good videos, but this one was sure one of the best ones!
This is exactly what everyone wants to see from you, I guess... One knife for all... From nothing to a crazy functional bow, to fure, to hunt, to cook, and finally to eat. What a quality of content. Bravo Master Clay! Big propps from Switzerland!
Many thanks
This is pretty cool.
Shout out to our ancestors who hunted megafauna with an atlatl. They were something , werent they?
Absolutely
That's how you kill a mammoth relatively safely, from a distance!
Always learn something from watching Clay. Another great video, thanks Clay!!
You bet!
Bro, that knife is top notch🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yur the master of survival! Nice work 👍
this is like alone survivor edition.. yum.
Excelente...
👏👏👏
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 RUclips. 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.
This is a great video! Thank you for making it
Glad you liked it!
Love this video. What a freaking bad ass. Never seen a bamboo pressure cooker, great idea.
Thank ya
Beautiful! Well done! These are my favorite types of videos. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
O cara é bom no que faz. Parabéns. O arco ficou muito bom. E só usou coisas da natureza.
Great video bro and great primitive skills as always!🙏🏽
What a poetic ode to human ingenuity!
One of my favorite videos you’ve made thus far!
😮 wow. Amazing man
Thanks for sharing great video
What headcam are you using to film the hunt?
Amazing video by the way. This is the kind of content the internet needs.
Thanks!
GoPro 10 and 12
This is amazing, you did a great job, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Amazing talent!
I was like "a bamboo pressure cooker? there's no way".
Great video. Had my mouth watering. Good editing too. Short and to the point. Some of these type videos just go way too long.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Master at work!
Nothing like a cook up in the middle of a comp😊
awesome video love the craftsmanship, also liking the pressure cooker idea
Little village kid wondering where his goat went😂
Oof
I love how a pressure cooker made from bamboo is a side dish in this fascinating meal of a video.
That’s one helluva good knife, home made no doubt…..great video
Another great video. Thanks for your informative content.
Cliff.

So Clay, are the wife & kids back at the 5 star resort, ordering room service and sipping umbrella drinks by the pool? All I ask is when the SHTF, you promise to tell me where you are going! I'll bring salt & pepper. Amazing video.

The creativity in your use of bamboo and the skill with which you wield your blade is astounding. Excellent vid! That stewed goat with fruit sure looked delicious! Thanks for teaching me new things to use in primitive craft.
Awesome, thank you!
That was very, very cool!
I love this awesome 👌
Great trick for survive in jungle
Awesome!
wish you talked a bit more in your videos, like when making the bow or other things. would make it more interesting to watch for an extended time.
That makes it for a different Hawaiian experience. Thanks for sharing - amazing skills!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was quite original ... Great ideas
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent!
Clay, you are my hero. Flipping awesome man!
Wow, thanks!

I wish I knew how to braid fiber cordage. It was a little too quick for me to catch on. Nice job!
Thank you Clay
Excellent job
Great video as always! Would love to see your take on a Comanche style shortbow one day.
I'm going to try myself when the juniper I harvested seasons enough.
It's not going to be half as good as any of your work, but gotta start somewhere!
good luck with the build
Exelente 😱🏹🦌.
Very nice, Clay. I like that it works what You're doing. Thanks a lot for showing us.
My pleasure!
thats REALLY cool!
Dang and Clay is even a real headhunter.
Great job filming it! Especially with all the shallow depth of field and focus
Glad you enjoyed it!
厲害！
