      For bushcraft I think learning how to make and throw a spear is much more useful

      @mercoid 2 года назад +2

      I’ve EDC’d many many types of knives over the past 48 years, I’m 56… For the past 15 it’s been all SAK. For me, and I think I can reasonably say, for most people, it the most useful and practical carry. Unless you have a frequent specific need for a single blade folder, IMO they’re overrated.

  • @richardross7219
    @richardross7219 2 года назад

    60 years ago, when I was a kid, we just carved a good fork stick(I've still got it), used strips of certain types of bicycle inner tubes, and a piece of an old boot. We'd go down to a stream to pick smooth rocks(puttin the quartz ones aside). We would practice for hours. When we found an old Coke bottle, that was what the quartz rocks were for. A square hit with a quartz stone, made those thick bottles explode.
    Practise and "feel" for your weapon is more important than the frame and trigger. I've shot almost everything from slings to 105mm guns. In most cases, it was how well you had drilled with the tool. During NAM, every M16A1 I fired was a tack driver but most .45 pistols were badly worn.
    In a field situation, I would just weave a sheppards sling from a 12' paracord. A good video. Good Luck, Rick

    That is a clever idea and uniquely designed trigger. You should try to mount a spool underneath to hold fishing line to "shoot" your baited hook in areas to tight for casting.

    I have a commercial version of your slingshot rifle, its a little straighter, a little smoother trigger action, a little bit more sophisticated BUT a LOT more expensive, and at the end of the day it does exactly the same thing. Well done, its a wonderful project and a great demonstration of ingenuity with simple tools and natural materials(except for the rubber bands for which there is no substitute unless you own a rubber tree).
