If you're in a real survival situation chances are you should go find a road instead. That said, I hope you all have fun with this build and pass it on to someone else who would enjoy it too.
Wonderful video, as always. Like the music. It's from your cousin, isn't it?
You sir are a great bowyer. From my respect, you earn my subscription!
props to this guy for doing an hour long bow build in 9 minutes
And the 20 hour bow in one hour 😂
Clearly you've never edited a video.

Hilarious. What an original comment...
I remember a conversation when I was younger, when everyone tried to tell me you need to have rubber strings for a bow, and no one believed me that the string is actually non-flexible at all and all the power comes from the wood itself
Yes the job of the string is to spring load the bow and not to act as a spring itself.
I remember I got into a war in my neighborhood and I was talking with the enemy about their weapons, and he showed me a bent stick with a gun band on it and I told him it was a slingbow. He didn’t understand.
Yes. I definitely used rubber bands. They didn't work that well, and didn't last very long
how old were you back then?
@@michalmikulasi5193 Dunno 12 or so? People are just idiots who don't take you seriously.
I used to make bows as a kid, I hadn’t made one for 30 years and then my son needed one for a school play, so I went to the local forest and found a yew tree (fairly common around here) and cut a pretty straight branch, stripped the bark, dried it for a few days then notched it, bent it and strung it. He was only 8/9 so I decided to make it around 4ft and reasonably hard for him to pull, it looked great but the surprise was when I used it with a roughly made bamboo cane arrow it flew true and straight for about 50 metres, a full size yew bow is tremendously powerful.

Yes and no, some woods just are way too brittle, like pine.@@aboodadmin9023
would be fun to see an arrow making video :)
Ok, you got it!
Absolutely!!
Yes please!
Really, even if someone made 3 arrows, in a survival situation, with firehardened tips, and grass for fletching, that even remotely worked, it would be useful. Thanks for a great video, God Bless.
@@DanSantanaBows Then make the arrows 9all after finding the materials, then learn to shoot! then learn to hunt! Or save your energy and conserve heat, dont endanger yourself and wait to be found!
Dude this is quite possibly the best survival bow demonstration out there, it even tells you what knots to tie!
I used to do this as a kid, but never anything of great quality or meant to last. My son & I are just about to go out & get started on the process. Watching your video just helped get my juices flowing. Thanks!
Good luck!
When I was a kid my parents had a flower shop. We used to make bowes using bamboo and simple strings. Our arrows where light wooden sticks that you use to let your flower grow straight.
The target was the pallet of bags with earth.
Oh the good old times.
This was so great! Following the instructions here, I spent the last 3 days working on a greenbow from a black locust, and I fired an arrow from it for the first time today. Amazing!
This might be the best video on tillering! Lots of thoughts on how to tiller. That may be a great video idea, how to tiller, with fancy equipment or no equipment!
I would definitely enjoy a tutorial on how to make an arrow. Nice teaser there, bucko.
Thanks Erica that’s a great idea! I’ve been making some notes for a video just like that
Very nice quick bow. I am glad you mentioned para cord is not a good bow string but in a survival situation you got to use what you have. I have to try this sometime!
It really is a lot of fun making something in one sitting. Doesn’t perform like a real bow but you can’t have one of those in an hour
Absolutely! I kind of get that feeling when I make a pvc bow.
The paper visuals you made for each step are really great. Would love to see more instructions like this.
Thanks for explaining this in a very simple way! I'm turning into That guy that wants to be prepared for any & every scenario... the world of humans is getting a little carried away after all
I should finish my bachelor thesis but this video seems wayyyy to interesting haha Great video
thank you for providing us with instructions that don't include multi-thousand dollar equipment. i watch these videos for self-sufficiency. not a lot of self-sufficiency involved with buying a frikkin 3d printer (though that would solve so many issues)
Those shots at the end were incredible. Such a marksman.
Thank you for this incredible tutorial!
I didn't expect to learn that much in 9 minutes. Great job.
I like this video. From a beginner's point, this is as good as it gets. It hits nearly all functional, necessary points, and it'll be great for people who have to make a quick shift in either sourcing calories, or attack/defense. The biggest problem I've found is that the nock is too small. Look back on the best bowmen of the world; thicker, often reinforced nocks.
Long story short: Don't carve away your draw weight at the tips.
I would insist that these are well sized tips for a self bow. The tips carry very little draw weight and making unnecessarily big big tips is a notorious beginner mistake that costs arrow speed and leads to handshock
The idea that self bows need reinforced nocks is an old timey myth caused by modern bows as well as english warbows with horn nocks. Those need the reinforcements not only because of the 100+ pounds of draw weight but because they have violated backs.
I’ve built 70+ pound bows with self nocks and skinnier tips than this. Among all the good bowyers I’ve talked to Id say it’s a pretty much consensus issue that you should make the tips as light as possible as long as they’re strong enough. I even use fastflight strings on bows with no overlays and know dozens of bowyers who do so as well.
Pick up the bowyers bible series of a books for some deep dives into the effect of tip mass on performance
you have a great talent for systematizing your experience. 😊 thank you so much
I'd say it's quite remarkable you made it in an hour. But then again, that's how it goes when you have an expert doing the work.
Bonus points on an already great vid for using a Mora Robust.
You're a fabulous presenter! Thanks for giving us hours of instruction in less than 10 minutes. And please do show us how to make good survival arrows. Also, have ya ever made a bundle bow--a quick and powerful bow from willow saplings?
Easy and simple to follow video. As you said, it's a survival bow, dinner for tonight and this week.
Man, that's quality CZcams content man. Thanks.
Nice. Takes me back to my childhood. Gotta make one like this with my kids.
I have that same Mora knife, those things are insane for the price! I’ve never owned a mora I didn’t totally love.
Very good video and craftsmanship!
Another excellent how-to, Dan. Really enjoy your videos.
thanks steve!
Thank you for this.
I'm ready for the book bro. For more of these survival ways.
Hi Dan. Really looking forward for that arrow making video
If a zombie apocalypse ever happens and i happen to survive. It'll be cuz of this guy
Man, this is really good. Great craftsmanship.
Thanks and good luck with your bow!
What a great job you have done teaching us very well!
Amazing! Wonderful job on the editing, music and narration. 👍👏🤯
That sure was a very good 👍 demonstration ❤, very well presented, congratulations 🎊 on your final working bow ❤❤❤
Id love to buy one of your homemade stocks , that green one looks sick
Wish I was there....me and you should do a survival bow off lol another great video brother keep em coming and again we need to get together this summer!!!!
That sounds like an awesome time. I’ll let you know when I plan on getting everyone together. A survival bow challenge would be a ton of fun
This is better than any asmr, and educational also. 👌
Fantastic video, well presented, relaxing and educational. Subbed!
I would love to have a workshop and necessaire tools to craft bows! Looks fun and relaxing
You just saw him do it with a hatchet, pocket knife, and paracord...
Just add 1 step, dig a six foot trench build a fire in it, and hang your bow above it to dry it quicker. Then do what he did.
Thx for the informations. I am a bow building beginner and i love those simple projects to learn
Great to hear!
Well done Sir. 👍🏹
Awesome video..!
Arrow making video.. Yes please!
Thanks you a great thing to aim for. Plenty of hazel near us, here in the north of England.
Great video, very well explained and great drawing! The background of this video is fantastic, very relaxing. Thank you.
thank you Aurora!
Dan certainly is artistic in many facets.
Ok now I will try to get to the show” Alone” ….. I feel much more confident!!!!
As always great video and music!!!
Good luck!
Thank you!!
Highly informative, and nice choice of music
BEAST SLAYER💪💪
Great video! Comfortable voice and music! Made it really informative and relaxing at the same time.
Thank you!
Wonderful video - I am going to try and create my own bow using your instructions.
Really great video . Thanks for making it . Roger
Awesome subscribed thanks man
Casey from Georgia 🤙
I wish I knew this when I was a kid. I was super into bows!
excellent - thank you
Let’s see that arrow video!! Sorry, not sure if you have it already, I’m new! How cool, love what you did with that green wood bow
Thanks for the video 🍻
Yes love to see arrow making video
Well done and thank you 💕🏹👍👍
Nice and approachable ! Doable !
great video that was one of the best explnations of tillering i have seen , nice grouping by the way
Awesome stuff dude. Keep it up! Greetings from Brazil!
Cant wait to try this tomorrow!
How’d it go?
Very nice! You are doing the same I was years ago, but better! And I had no idea about filming
This was very informative and interesting you earned a subscriber
Next time I take my daughter camping, we are going to do this for a fun activity.
I just found your channel and absolutely love it me and my son made of survival bow on a campout was went on several years ago out of maple and we have truly enjoyed shooting it with the arrows we made but after about a year when we started shoot it it started making cracking sounds and now we're scared to pull on it
That’s the trouble with making green wood bows. If you retiller them when they dry out you can avoid it breaking but it’s always better to start with dry wood.
Great informative video.
You sir. Have earned a sub.
Love to see how you make arrows…
Great video
I have a couple arrow tutorials out. Still working on one for survival arrows though!
Really nice video and nice drawings 😊
Good stuff! Thanks
The first video I have seen of your's I would love to see the arrow build too
thank you very much
Very nice bow good work. I have made plenty of 1 day bows with whitewood I usually give a heavy heat treatment though to help dry it out and make it more resistant to tension and compression. Hickory being the personal favorite because it's much easier to find and work with here in the southeast US in Georgia.
Sure but If I properly dried the wood this would no longer be a green wood tutorial. See my quick drying and heat treating videos for my views about that. I also heat treat over coals
I would say heat treating makes a bow more likely to break in tension. You’re making a trade off of brittleness for increased compression strength. For tension strong whitewoods this is a great deal, but for something like osage there’s not as much to be gained
@@DanSantanaBows I have seen your videos I watch you quite often actually. And your right it wouldn't be a greenwood if you did that so I understand why you didn't here but I know you have in the past as I have seen you do it before. Hickory I suggest a heat treat. I wouldn't suggest it for Osage however I think it does it's best as a raw wood bow doesn't even need a backing in my opinion in most cases. But as I said I am here in the Southeast US where whitewoods like Hickory are very common to find so that's what I use and have easy access to get.
I AM SO ÉXÇÍTED , I'VE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE MY ÓWN HUNTING BOW.THAÑK YOU SO MUCH , I HÀVE 6 SÓÑS , SO AÑY KIND OF SERVIVAL , HUNTING TÓOLS WÓULD REALLY GRÉAT , TEÀCHÍNG AND ALSO LEARNING TO LIVE , ÇÀMP, JUST SERVIVE😊😊❤❤
See my other tutorials for a good hunting bow. Check out the playlist of beginner essentials. Also see videos by swiftwood bows, clay hayes, and huntprimitive
Nice video guy, never stop.
Sure thing! Up next-Tillering, Explained, and then a video all about drawknives
Thanks for sharing subscribed
This was super interesting, thanks! Also your voice is really soothing for some reason
Oh thank you!
Many thanks...
Very Good tutorial. Most other bow tutorials ive seen are more or less ASMR with no real spoken or illustrated instructions. Just 'watch me do a thing in the woods, with bad angles, at a distance, in 420p.' :D
“Survival” bow videos are considered a red flag in the bowyer community. This was my attempt to steal from that audience while still teaching some real bow making concepts. For much better instructions check out my board bow tutorial. Clay Hayes and Swiftwood bows also have some excellent step by step tutorials
Awesome video
Thanks!
Hey, amazing video! How about that arrow making tutorial?
Cool!
The Long Dark vibes!
Great stuff, would be great to see how to make bow strings
See my board bow tutorial, there’s a chapter on strings. Clay hayes also has some good videos
Very cool video.
Thank You
Sounds like Patrick Bateman going through his morning routine
My father tought me to use a juniper without twigs and so thick that you had to carve with the knife through the marve of the branch. Well - it took more than an hour - but it was fun! I used a rather big knife and pressed it against my leg just below the knee letting the edge of the knife point out. Then you could use much more force.
Nice vid
Definitely beats my coat hanger bows!
Got +5 fletching levels from watching this vid
Currently steam bending some bow limbs, and was excited to see a new video of yours pop up to pass the time with! What do you think the longevity of a greenwood bow like that would be?
Could be indefinite if the tiller is good and the bow is designed for the draw weight it will have when it dries out. But bending green will cause a lot of set compared to using properly dried wood so the bow will always be sluggish compared to something well made
You could try clamping the entire bow to a 2×4 with or without recurve and heat treating the belly to remove some of the set but it would need retillering at that point.
Cool 😎
Nice groups
Coming from someone who made a bow out of a Dino mask and a stick, this bow is pretty amazing.
