Bear Grylls sleeps in a hotel at the end of the day when the cameras are turned off. If you want to learn how to do it for real you’re better off doing Ray Mears’ Woodlore bushcraft course or Paul Kirtley’s Frontier Bushcraft course and know what native food is available wherever you are on the planet.
Great video Lily. Came across your channel by accident and it's great to watch. Showed some vids to my 7yo daughter and she loves it. I'm teaching her and her brother bushcraft and survival and your vids are a great addition to this. My daughter actually said that when she gets older she would like to have her own channel "just like Lily"
Very well done Lilly, next time you're in Canada in Van island I will introduce you to my friend who does nothing but make bows and arrows all day, he is readying to make a youtube channel, you would get along well.
In the early 90s I was camping with a bunch of friends and I brought out my brand new Petzl headlamp. They all started teasing me, calling me a miner and wondering if they were trespassing on my claim, etc. The funny thing was, the entire three days we were there, all I heard was, "Can I borrow your headlamp?" The next camping trip, we all had headlamps. It was hilarious. A bunch of people encompassing a bonfire with headlamps on our heads.
I can relate! My family knows me as the doomsday preper, and poke fun at me here and there when I tell them about my interest in bushcraft. However, with the virus scaring people as of late, I'm getting a lot of praise suddenly. I'm glad you had fun with your friends! The best revenge is the praise that comes after being made fun of
@@ambercrest8966 wow! Glad to hear im not the only one. When the virus arrived i prepared as if the end of human civilization (mostly printing survival manuals, getting basic stuff, etc.) that was when the virus was in china. They called me crazy, my mum, and everyone except my dad, he is a medic, he knew as well as me how this could end up. The virus spread, and then guess who kept asking for knowledge and asking where to get supplies when they had ran out in the stores. I feared transport was gonna get cut off (train and truck drivers could have gone home with their families). In the end, this didnt happen, and everything went the boring, and probably the better way. Greetings from spain.
Thanks for another clear descriptive video. My youngest daughter at nine yrs treats your videos as tutorials .Thankyou for sharing your passion with us.
That wraparound fletching is going to either (1) jump when going over an arrow rest, or (2) take skin off of a finger as it is shot. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I have been watching yoube for almost a year. I recently learned to comment. Lilly you are the best. You do all surval techniques. You also show failures. This happens. Proud of ya. When one fails, use another.
Sorry to hear about Dax,we lost our American Eskimo (AKA German Spitz) in May,they tend to leave a big hole in the heart when they go,but it;s sort of the payment we make for all the joy they give while they are here ! I always enjoy your videos.
If nothing else that bow and arrow set would look cool hanging on a wall! Just saw in some of the comments about Dax. I am very sorry to hear that he passed. My last dog (a chihuahua - don't judge!) was 16 when she died. She had been there with me through a whole lot of life's ups and downs including graduating college, marriage, divorce and the passing of several family members. I have another (larger) dog that is a great dog who I hope is around a long time but I still miss Mia, sometimes.
For your shafts do like otzie did,..... just carry them till they dry, scrape off the bark put vegetable shortening or lard on them heat them over a fire and straighten them. Hazelnut makes great arrows. Excellent job making the green arrows. great job on the bow too.
The best arrow tip is a flat blade at the front, it cuts better and produces the most damage to an animal. (more bleeding) A pointed tip just produces a hole. This is how the neolithic hunters knapped their flints.
Maybe for a next project try Willow, especially if you prepare the willow by cutting off the branches during winter, the offshoots in the next year will make nice arrow shafts ready for harvesting the following winter (or you can just try and find a willow shoot thats somewhat straight and the thickness you like (use fire to straighten if needed). Then the inner bark of the willow provides nice strands for cordage, pound it to separate the fibers. Also using fire-hardening to make the tip may be a thing to consider and try out, as tins may not always be around ;)
Great demo on the arrows you seem very accomplished, one quick hint for ya if you don't have metal for arrow tip just burn the tip will harden not as good as yours
I've usually seen the things you do in other videos, although you do them well and consise. I've never seen a tin can arrow head, and using the pitch was great. Much love, you taught me something new.
Ich habe heute deine Videos entdeckt und du bist echt der Wahnsinn! Am meisten hat mich das Video mit dem Kleber beeindruckt, aber auch sonst, Hut ab. Das mit Dax tut mir sehr leid, es ist immer schwer jemanden zu verlieren...
Wow, Lilly I must say you have a great talent for building and shooting primitive bows and arrows. I have built a few self bows from Osage orange and hundreds of arrows from several types of wood and have been flintknapping for 30+ years now but, you have impressed me with your talent.You have the heart, drive and persistance few people have to not only make but excel at using your self made bow and arrows. The primitive weapons you made usually require a lot of time, knowledge of the woods used, and all the other materials such as feathers cordage (or sinew) and pine pitch or hide glue. All these components plus a great deal of drive necessary to bring all this together to make a primitive weapon not to mention the practice necessary to accurately master shooting of the bow and arrow. I have been hunting with my selfbow and self made arrows tipped with my own knapped points or many years now. Making your own primitive weapons and using them as our ancestors did for hundreds of years before us makes one feel more closely bonded with the earth and nature. I would gladly send you a couple of my flintknapped points if you would like to tip a couple of your arrows with them just let me know. Keep up the great work and as you probably already know this passion you have for making primitive weapons can and does turn into a serious addiction from witch recovery is not possible. Kevin
Good tip on fletching arrows with feathers from the same wing...never thought of that...duh......good to see Dax still hanging around...he is the most special dog on the entire internet...
Sorry to hear about Daxxy Lilly, I loved seeing him dig and roll around in the dirt. But take all the time you need for your next video. We'll all still be here :)
Awesome arrow...so many great uses for the pitch(pine) glue! Ur so knowledgeable & have awesome skills to match! Makes my day when I get Ur newest video...keep up the awesome videos.
so many people who comment don't realize what a good arrow that is with the tin cap.it would kill a rabbit, turkey or other smaller game. don't need a glass arrowhead, a blunt field tip is what i killed my first squirrel with when i was a kid just learning to use a bow. lilly, you are great at what you do. nice video, keep up the good works
Nice job on the bow/arrow. Nice to hear Thrunite is a sponsor, I have a TN12 2016. I didn't know they made headlamps till I saw your channel. Even though I had bought 2 Foxelli rechargable headlamps, I went and got the Thrunite Th10 since it takes the same 18650 battery as my Tn12. Keep up the great vids!
using the metal from the can is brilliant. my only suggestion would be to make a smaller diameter stwist cord for the feathers made from the inner bark from a cedar tree. other than that, very well done. very cool.
another great video Lilly, I'm sorry to hear about Dax, I lost my dog a couple years ago, I still haven't gotten another dog, hard to replace a true friend.
Was told by a native guy that they would use nettle fibers for cordage for fishing back in the day - mentioned beating the nettles to improve the process
use the back of the knife to bark it, straighten the shafts in the fire. Lilly when ever you put something on a shaft or handle hold the shaft in your right hand with point down, and hit the end of your shaft in your hand this believe it or not will drive the shaft into the socket. That is the way you put an axe head on a new handle.
Between a survival bow and a slingshot in the woods if you break your bands you can't find rubber band in the wild but if you break your bow you can always find natural materials and cordage for it.
FWIW - Yes, *ANOTHER FWIW* from me LOL - watching your videos has made me appreciate how *important* identifying *plants & trees* is for survival. I mean, I already *knew* it was important for finding edible food, but it is *also important* for finding the correct materials for making survival *items*. Thank You for posting your survival videos!
I love your survival bow and arrows. I found some owl and hawk feathers which i think will work great, and are birds of prey so it's only appropriate that they keep flying and hunting.
There are many different types of trees in the woods where I hunt have followed your advice on many occasions. Could you advise on the best fuel when collecting firewood for camp.?
it is pine pitch glue - you can also use spruce pitch glue - i don't know if you can buy them ... - check out my video about how to make them yourself : ruclips.net/video/eowJm0WGaII/видео.html
Awwww man... no more Dax!??!! I just found out while reading the comments... so sorry to hear that Lilly. I know he was ur buddy, u've got lotsa memories on utube... we will miss him! This was a good vid.
Just kind of a helpful tip but if the spine of your knife has a sharp enough angle on the back you can peel off bark pretty easily without damaging the wood underneath too bad.
Hi Lilly, how bout trimming those feathers a little bit, when you shoot a lot your bow holding hand will get hurt, allways hitting same spot on hand with feathers. Watched you bowcrafting and iam amazed it holds up. Cheers
the thing is... you need to make sure that the arrow is a little bit bendable so that the archers paradox can take place. otherwise it will go off course.

Survival Lilly what type of string on your bow
Survival Lilly great job get er done all day long. Kudos
This was by far the best arrow building video I’ve watched, short and to the point and using forest objects 10/10
Bear Grylls would have just eaten a tarantula by now.

Great video Lilly, bit sad seeing and hearing Dax, he was a great dog. RIP Dax. X
How did you know Dax died?
She mentioned it on Facebook a couple days ago.
She said this in the comment section of previous video.
:( He was awesome
😳😖😭😭😭. I'm very sorry to hear that Dax is gone. It is so hard to lose a good dog.

I lose arrows in broad daylight lol, I would never find it at night even with the Thrunite 7300!
haha yeah happened to me too several times :D
NO WONDER "ARROW SMITHS" were considered artisans in ancient times ! Can you imagine actually having to make DOZENS of them - by yourself ?
And then losing them every so often too!
check out Billy Berger's Primitive Pathways. his arrow heads are exquisite.
Fletcher's, they're called Fletcher's.
Bradley Campbell Hector Cole or Will Sherman for forged heads, also Will Lord and Shaun Woods for napped or Inuit bone or tusk arrow heads.
I have actually done it...not that hard btw
thank you for posting this. editing must have been heart breaking. we are here for you lily! keep up the good work!
Awesome improvisation
Thanks Jack :)
I have been watching yoube for almost a year. I recently learned to comment. Lilly you are the best. You do all surval techniques. You also show failures. This happens. Proud of ya. When one fails, use another.
Sorry to hear about Dax,we lost our American Eskimo (AKA German Spitz) in May,they tend to leave a big hole in the heart when they go,but it;s sort of the payment we make for all the joy they give while they are here !
I always enjoy your videos.
1:23 Alternatively instead of using a can lid, you could use some slate and a couple other rocks too make a stone arrowhead.
If nothing else that bow and arrow set would look cool hanging on a wall!
Just saw in some of the comments about Dax. I am very sorry to hear that he passed. My last dog (a chihuahua - don't judge!) was 16 when she died.

Excellent job making the green arrows. great job on the bow too.
Fantastic creation of a weapon. Really like watching you work. Thanks
The best arrow tip is a flat blade at the front, it cuts better and produces the most damage to an animal. (more bleeding)
A pointed tip just produces a hole.
This is how the neolithic hunters knapped their flints.
Also seen bamboo arrows with a flat blade tip. Seems to do the job fine.
Yeah, she kinda made a low-tech Bodkin tip. I doubt many rabbits wear Maile or Gambeson.
@@kk234th you'd be surprised
Myles Nicholas if your close up then hell yeah
Also a series of microliths set in the arrow shaft with pine resin, beeswax and charcoal epoxy as used in the Mesolithic produces more haemorrhaging.
Maybe for a next project try Willow, especially if you prepare the willow by cutting off the branches during winter, the offshoots in the next year will make nice arrow shafts ready for harvesting the following winter (or you can just try and find a willow shoot thats somewhat straight and the thickness you like (use fire to straighten if needed).

I'm just watching so if there is a zombie invasion i can survive with my friends
Dude I think that's when survival skills come in handy same
When the zombie apocalypse comes I'm just gonna be on my dad's boat with my friends on the water
max channel 2.0 that’s smart lol
@Logan Hill you know people? Gee I'm so scared
Bruh lmao. We can all survive together by these videos
Your videos rock! At age 14, I have actually done a lot of survival type things. I learn so much from your videos!
Great demo on the arrows you seem very accomplished, one quick hint for ya if you don't have metal for arrow tip just burn the tip will harden not as good as yours
Thank you, Lilly. you're such a resourceful and crafting woman. love watching your videos. keep up the great work.
collab with primitive technology guy plz. but first, you have to find him in the forest
and he does not talk
I wonder if he even wants human company when he is in the wild :)
I doubt he wants to be bothered.
That guy is soooo amazing at what he does.
I think they have different agendas and are both amazing on their own agenda.
bozdag mahsun she talks... he doesn't....
BUT YES PLZ GO ON A QUEST TO FIND HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've usually seen the things you do in other videos, although you do them well and consise. I've never seen a tin can arrow head, and using the pitch was great. Much love, you taught me something new.
If I didn’t have a can lid and just had some pitch, would pitch on the tip protect the arrow at all?

Thanks Kevin thats kind of you. I already got some flint napped tips from a friend. All the best. Lilly
No problem, all the best to you.
Very impressive power from that bow. Sorry to hear about Dax. RIP Dax🐾🌹
Good tip on fletching arrows with feathers from the same wing...never thought of that...duh......good to see Dax still hanging around...he is the most special dog on the entire internet...
Great video, thanks! My goal is to watch every SL episode but now I need to find the one on how to make glue (so interesting)!

Awesome arrow...so many great uses for the pitch(pine) glue! Ur so knowledgeable & have awesome skills to match! Makes my day when I get Ur newest video...keep up the awesome videos.
You are still my hero of survival tips. Thanx, Lilly, gigi
you should definitely go on the show alone! you have all the skills
Pretty great video! I see a lot of survival bows video's, but not that many survival arrows... Subscribed!

Great video, really enjoyed seeing how you made the arrow!
The tin can arrow head was great improvisation..👍
Damn thats effective! You can see the difference in power compared to your shots in the bow making vid! Well done Lilly! Great bow!
using the metal from the can is brilliant. my only suggestion would be to make a smaller diameter stwist cord for the feathers made from the inner bark from a cedar tree. other than that, very well done. very cool.
Big thanks to Thrunite for helping support Lily's work. It DOES affect my decision where to replace my cheap headlight that fell apart.
yes i am very thankful that thrunite is my sponsor! they support me well. and they make very good flashlights.
another great video Lilly, I'm sorry to hear about Dax, I lost my dog a couple years ago, I still haven't gotten another dog, hard to replace a true friend.
Excellent job on the arrow, Lilly!
Hey what about wood grain orientation for the arrow and worrying about it breaking?
Was told by a native guy that they would use nettle fibers for cordage for fishing back in the day - mentioned beating the nettles to improve the process
use the back of the knife to bark it, straighten the shafts in the fire. Lilly when ever you put something on a shaft or handle hold the shaft in your right hand with point down, and hit the end of your shaft in your hand this believe it or not will drive the shaft into the socket. That is the way you put an axe head on a new handle.
Strips of animal tendon also do well to secure the feathers. One can keep them in a container and then moisten them and cut to length when needed.
Good job on the bow & the arrow. Headlamps are great. I've been using them for a good while now for hands free work...
Smart use of the can for the tip! Some glue on the cordage could improve durability.
Awesome from scratch👍👍
You really know what you're doing Lily, you have my respect and all my admiration.
Real life Lara Croft. Awesome job Lilly!
great video Lil sorry to here about Dax, hope all is well with you, and the family, glad to see you back.
Joshua Plowman When? Dax is in this video.
@M85FSLUVR
It is a recorded video...! Obviously recorded before poor Dax went to new hunting grounds beyond.
ghanaboyz I know it's recorded. Trying to determine when she announced Dax' passing. Was it on social media? Thx.
hi, ok. Well, I saw it first myself in a comment she wrote in her previous video (bow making). That would be about 3 days ago from now I believe.
ghanaboyz thank you. That's the information I was looking for. That's an awful thing losing a dog. I've done it many times.
Between a survival bow and a slingshot in the woods if you break your bands you can't find rubber band in the wild but if you break your bow you can always find natural materials and cordage for it.
Hey to debark and not wreck the shaft use a piece of sharp stone like slate or quartz. Awesome videos.
Great video, Lilly. R.I.P. Dax.
can a fire hard arrow tip work or is it best to use what ever you can find for a tip
Good job Lily 👍
FWIW - Yes, *ANOTHER FWIW* from me LOL - watching your videos has made me appreciate how *important* identifying *plants & trees* is for survival. I mean, I already *knew* it was important for finding edible food, but it is *also important* for finding the correct materials for making survival *items*.
Thank You for posting your survival videos!
what other stuff can you use for the tip if you don't have a can
Very impressive young lady!!! God Bless!
Чувствуется большой опыт!)
I love your survival bow and arrows. I found some owl and hawk feathers which i think will work great, and are birds of prey so it's only appropriate that they keep flying and hunting.
this is my new favourite channel now
Nicely done.With more time and practice I could see you making an item truly worth calling a renound hunting weapon .
There are many different types of trees in the woods where I hunt have followed your advice on many occasions. Could you advise on the best fuel when collecting firewood for camp.?
Does anyone know what that glue is that she used to glue the features and where do u find it
it is pine pitch glue - you can also use spruce pitch glue - i don't know if you can buy them ... - check out my video about how to make them yourself : ruclips.net/video/eowJm0WGaII/видео.html
Thank you! I really needed to know that because I wanted to make arrows just from natural things
Usko you find it in a pine tree you get elk or deer turds and charcoal and mix it together and melt it
Pitch
You can use pine resin mixed with beeswax plus charcoal to make it less brittle.
Best arrow build i have ever seen arrow tip trick was really smart
Looks easy to make, looks damaging , decent bow and arrow you have got, for no cost thanks Lilly,
Lily is so inspiring
Only when bent over!
It's so nice and quiet out there. Couldnt hear a thing except one bird when it became dark
Awesome video Lily please make another one showing how to make a survival crossbow :)
Awwww man... no more Dax!??!! I just found out while reading the comments... so sorry to hear that Lilly. I know he was ur buddy, u've got lotsa memories on utube... we will miss him!
This was a good vid.
would you be able to fire-harden in the case you don't have a tin can? or would it compromise the arrow by drawing out the moisture?
what glue did you use to stick the feather on the arr did you make the glue?
What did you use for glue? Was it black sap?
what did you use for glue the tip and arrow?
Great video Lilly. I really enjoy them all.
Bravo Lilly!!!
Just kind of a helpful tip but if the spine of your knife has a sharp enough angle on the back you can peel off bark pretty easily without damaging the wood underneath too bad.
i saw straightening done working with a campfire,.. heat and bend method,,til all straight,.. excellent video
What did you use as glue for the arrow tip and feathers?
What is that black glue??? And what kind of branches do you use?
Is the bowstring also made of the same stinging nettle cordage?
I'm still a bit sad and broken over Dax...I loved watching him dig with all that passion. He lived life to the fullest. I'm so sorry.
Hi Lilly, how bout trimming those feathers a little bit, when you shoot a lot your bow holding hand will get hurt, allways hitting same spot on hand with feathers. Watched you bowcrafting and iam amazed it holds up. Cheers

How do you tell that feathers are from the same wing if you found them on the ground?
was the wooden tip hardened by fire b4 gluing the tin tip on?
also I was so sorry and saddened to learn of dax passing you have my warmest heartfelt condolences
What did she use as glue for the arrows?
