Slingshot or Slingbow What Should I Take on History's Alone All Stars (87 days Episode 11)

- čas přidán 7. 10. 2017
- But i have been doing a lot of thinking since i got home form my 87 days Alone in Patagonia with History channels Alone Season 3. When i Go out on Alone All Stars Im Going to need to do better. The slingshot i brought was sufficient and even got me one Bird. But next time I'll be up Against Dave and Allen And they never quit. I need to produce as much food as possible And I can't live without my slingshot ;) I think having a slingbow is part of the answer. But not the whole answer. A few people chose to bring bows on Alone . And yet no one has use that bow to provide for themselves Not for lack of trying. But the opportunities are few and far between. Simpleshot slingshot Company makes a slingshot called the "Hammer". The Hammer is Not your average slingshot. It is a masterpiece of modern technology mixed with the simplest principles Of the slingshot Art. The Hammer has the capability Of being a Slingbow and shooting arrows As well as Working like a regular slingshot. This half slingbow half slingshot Is the and best of both worlds. And As I said before Most of the answer to what kind of slingshot I should bring on History's Alone All-Stars. If only i could take all my favorite slingshots. Of course that's not very fair to say I've never met a slingshot I didn't like.

AND THANKS FOR WATCHING
#Survival #BushCraft #87DaysAlone
Growing up, I was always drawn to the sling shot. Especially after playing The Legend of Zelda ocarina of time. I was and still am the weird kid who had an interest for the wilderness, but lived more in a town than anything. Me messing around, finally embracing that call, and watching your videos helped me realize. There's other cool weirdos out there like me lol thank you Zach.
Fowler: I hate that my arrows always get busted.
Also Fowler: Uses arrows to hold up ping pong balls as targets for slingshot.
Bring 6 broad head arrows as their use requires that type of arrowhead and longer range accuracy. The fishing arrows are for only a few feet away and make these, and their arrowheads, from materials you find in the field. Paint your arrows in colors that make them stand out and are easier to find when you miss your target.
Livin for the outdoors. Its cool you found your thing so early in life! I can’t wait to see if this all stars thing happens!
Can’t wait to see you go on alone all stars. Will be rooting for you! Stay safe and God bless!
Dave Canterbury has a video series where he makes a DIY slingshot/slingbow combo...I duplicated his design and love it!
Man, I'm so excited and nervous to see that new season! Nervous cuz I know the people going out there KNOW what they're doing and how to last longer. And I feel like they might not pay attention to their bodies as much as they should. But excited cuz a bunch of people from past seasons will be in the same season! 😬
Bushcraft Baxter you think your nervous how do ya think i feel ;) i want them to do good just not 87 days good :)
Bushcraft Baxter It's not even confirmed that there doing an all star's season there's only been five winners from four seasons so unless they plan to include runners up in the cast it's going to be a while before it happens!
Randall Flagg that's exactly what they're doing. All stars and I think any runner ups that want to do it.
I can confirm its previous contestants but not necessarily all stars. Don't ask me how I know ;)
i know its been 4 months and that they have actually announced it, bu how didya know?
I'm going to bring a bunch of body grip traps, leg holds, a gun and a bunch of ammo. Sure win!
Yeah I bet that would do it
The Wooded Beardsman how many items do you guys get? Is it ten and would bullets count as items?
Fowler's Makery and Mischief I think you should take a sling shot you could easily make your own whisker biscuit out of a green bendable branch and grass
But start trying to make one now it's a new skill that would be good to learn
Fowler's Makery and Mischief by the way check out Jorgesprave he has a channel dedicated to slingshots
In advance I suggest thera band black it can take down deer :)
I was coming here to make the same suggestion. I feel sure he would love making the perfect slingbow.
i bought the swisstool spirit x a couple of days ago and have been edc-ing it and i love it
Corkey cool i always cary mine in the woods but.
Love all the stuff he comes up with. Shelters are always cool too. Nice thing about the slingshot is that its compact and dosent weigh much to hike with.
Replace the arrow nock with a golf tee and some epoxy. Works great!
So I've been told I think I'm in a try that the summerI Haven't been practicingWith it of lateBut got some new tubes to make a better band set for it
Great vid, Gonna enjoy seeing you back on the show...
13prevail Bushcraft thanks
when will he go?
Here’s an idea; build a “compound slingshot”. 7x regular velocity.
Dude! Every time you verbalize the title of this series I laugh out loud.....:) makes me smile. It’s the longest run on sentence ever! Lol!
What a weekend we had at the East Coast Slingshot Tournament in beautiful Alverton, Pa hosted by East Huntingdon Sportsmens Association! So glad I got to meet you and Chris. Looking forward to next year's tourney.
Slingbow, hands down are amazingly accurate, take up less space through brush, pack and can even carried in your pocket while you’re doing other tasks. Great job in all you’ve done ✅
Great to see your enthusiasm and your range of skills! Plenty of us will be 'pulling for you' in the 'All-Stars' season, when that happens! For now, nothing could beat your re-cap of the 87 days. THAT is an inspired idea: all the substance and none of the 'Hollywood Drama' the 'straight' TV guys want to sell us.
I have enjoyed slingshots but these take it to a new level. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Big Crazy Outdoor Adventures cool thanks for watching
Hi, your videos are great, entertaining and full of nuggets. The T-shirt is awsome!
Love that hammer, can’t believe how accurate it is in arrow mode, I do prefer the release, never thought I’d say that due to being a primitive archer but it really helps
I got the Woodobo and it is great, I put it on just about everything. I haven’t tried it in my coffee yet. After watching you with your slingshot, I got one from you. I’m a beginner, never shot one before. It is NOT as easy as you show! I am going to have to practice a lot! Love your show, keep em’ coming.
good luck, make sure you practice shooting into water to compensate for refraction.
Thank you I will
Typically 3 to 6 inches low will do. Good luck and a small tin can and screw will work as a spool. The screw will hold it to the shooting device and the end of the fishing line. Good luck brother.
Another good thing about a decent sized shelter is that you can store enough materials in it to be able to work inside when the weather is bad, making cordage, matting, tinder, etc.
i cant wait to watch that
you're a remarkable person zach i love your channel
I myself, bought the Pathfinder Slingbow setup with the heavy-duty bands also and let me tell you, it is awesome. With the heavy duty bands installed, I can utilize a (approximately) 50 lb pull, 30 inch arrows and it works great!
C McClellan cool
I’m a mechanic and I don’t like to see that symbol any how I like youre shirt 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome videos! Very sympathetic dude. Keep up the good content
A home would make it easier. I spent three weeks shy of a year in the wilderness with twelve pound of gear, plus what was on my belt and in my pockets, and all I had for cover was a pair of G.I. ponchos. I couldn't build any type of real shelter because I was traveling almost constantly between four states, but I sure missed having something like that more than once.
Fortunately, I didn't have to hit anything with a slingshot because I did have a rifle.
Next time I did anything like that I built a small cabin, about fifteen by twelve, with a fireplace, immediately. I didn't get back to it as often as I wished, but when I was able to get back, it felt like a mansion. I added a second room later, and then it really felt huge.
My experience is that the best way to stay anywhere for a long, long time is to love every second you're there. Anything that helps you love it is a big plus.
Just me, but I'll take a bow, and you can have the slingshots and sling bows.
Waw that sounds like quite the adventure !!
If you want a hack, take the nock off existing arrows and glue a golf tee into the end of them. Works really well inside a pouch
daniel george awesome ill give it a try
You can do a rubber wrap or a cordage wrap glued on right in front of the nock, that will allow you to shoot the arrows from the pouch, without losing the ability to be fired from a bow.
Holy crap! I’ve just noticed the tat on your right forearm. I’ve got a Celtic cross on my left forearm in the exact same location! You’ve got style bro.!
chief a sling bow has serving for a arrow in a pouch. I love mine
Hail the chief . Has it all . Not to mention chief Aj is a bad ass. That guy holds tons of records.
Golf tees in the back of the arrows. That's what someone said in a comment on another video I saw about these sling bows. So, very much like what you drew there really and yes, you can just shoot it from the same pocket, no changing anything. He said they are very accurate and it doesn't affect the arrows negatively at all.
I like to use foam board, packing tape across the Whole back, and drawn on targets.
Usually helps me collect my ammo and recycle the good ones. (I use marbles most the time... they sometimes chip/shatter. Still they’re cheaper to learn with)
try the RS-x7 doomsday slingshot crossbow
The arrows are your art mate, no wonder you feel weird shooting them! Precious, they are! You've got me into the slingshot, it's on my shopping list! Wanted to use one since i was a kid growing up watching ol' Bart [Simpson]! Keep kickin assh dude! :D
Pull the nock out of the (carbon) arrow and insert a wooden golf tee. You can grip the golf tee in a slingshot pouch really well!
Ya sounds good ill have to give that a try
Man your videography skills have gotten amazing.. for that reason “alone” they need to put you back on the show! 😉
M Moore thanks
Yeah I never watched Alone yet. I didnt know Zach won Alone for a while. Im a fairly new subscriber.
I think the slingshot idea is awesome with the arrows man. Awesome set up. Hopefully there's some grouse or rabbits or something to shoot at. If not, well like you said fish are shootable. If you spot some pike laying in the sun or other types of fish you can get them. Cheers.
Nomadic Woodsman or just some big catfish to noodil ;)
Dude..... dude..... Listen to me.... Please. A slingshot is not what you need to get food and win. Really not trust me. You can get something much smaller that doesn't weight much and it'll get ya all the food you need. It's called an Amazon's account. I know.... I know... You're going to say that you need something to be able to go on the net and cel phones, laptops, etc are not allowed. But remember one thing... That famous jacket you hacked and they allowed it. So do the same again... An Amazon account and an embedded cel phone in a jacket.
BTW, I'll take 15% of your winnings as consultant fees. Thanks :)
Slingbow. Absolutely. With the modifications you're considering, it'll give you versatility to get any food.
Keep having fun daily, I think that was a key to success for you because it kept you mentally strong!
Recommend: Upgrading to the Metal E-Tool because it is more durable than the SF Shovel. You can sharpen the E-Tool to match the SF Shovel. It is a stronger lever for prying logs and rocks, the SF Shovel will break first. The different head angles allows you to dig a more vertical hole for traps, Use as a climbing axe, and useable as a hook for retrieving something or as a grappling hook. Yes the SF Shovel is an impressive thrower, but now you'll have more fun with the Slingbow.
Recommend : Modifying your Multi-Tool with another capability you didn't have out there...another File, a Backup Fire Steel?
Just a couple of perspectives from a retired Army guy and a fan of what you accomplished. You'll do great when the All-Stars come back!
Didn’t know these existed, so cool. I definitely want one now.
Mate I just realised you are the one that made the duck raft etc , I loved you on that show . All the best from England
Another great video Bud!
Exziver thank you
I just subscribed to your channel and if I would have to say that you are the best CZcamsr there is. You constantly having to go through the grind ever day doing the things I would love to do. I am sure you love doing these things and I love watching you do them, just like when I finished watching you do your 30 day challenge video. You have a great personality and make funny jokes, I honestly don’t know how a video could be better. I love watching you man and you are a great inspiration. Thank you for every video you’ve made for us. I might only be 15 at the moment but I think you have made me look forward to a great future.
Nice one 👍 enjoyed that
Jonah 365 outdoors thanks for watching
You can get rubber tubing in the plumbing department at you local hardware store. It cheaper than the ones made for slingshots.
interesting never tried it but you get what you pay the more expensive the better the strech usually wich make it stronger and faster
I know it’s very late but to shoot arrows out of my sling shot I glue then sinew in a golf tee into the opening of a cane or aluminum arrow... you could possibly drill the back of your sprus to accept the golf tee it works very well and I hope to see you give it a try!
Love all your vids and your honesty
Max OD thanks
Awesome idea! Best of both. Don't forget that if you shoot fish with an arrow and a string attached, that you tie the string to the nock end. Otherwise the arrow will cartwheel.
You need to get the chief and elite slingbow it has a flip down arrow rest also it takes fishing arrows another good thing is the arrows you can get in that store they have 4 feathers and they're really stable the arrow rest also goes down as you release the arrow so the flight of the arrow wouldn't be affected at all
I don't really like the look of chiefs Trying to make my own anyone fit in my pocket Easily Something that wouldn't be a big dealAs an every day carry. Or at least in holster well
Alone All Stars !!! Excited
Man i love this channel
THE BEST
🍀🍀🍀
Great stuff... Keep a- goin'
What if you took the arch things that hold the rubber “bands” and you permenatly bind it to the handle and take the removable part and put that onto the arrow holder and you can have a normal sling but you can attach and detach the arrow holder👍🏻! Just a sugestion
I have seen some sling shots like yours with a whisker biscuit attached for arrows. When I got sick I couldn't pull my bows back so I made a wrist rocket shoot arrows. I used a key chain ring and two rubber bands.
Awesome
Lmao! That shirt is awesome!
On the sling bow use golf tees for nocks...work great
I hope you do great on the show. Be careful what you show... your competitors might be watching. I’d try to take both. That looks cool shooting an arrow with the slingshot.
I may be too late, Fowler... but you can drill out the nocks and glue in a golf tee... plenty of grip through a fine leather pouch. Good luck!
the shovel throw was cool man, who needs a slingshot haha
Awesome watching videos with you
You should write a book about all the survival and homesteading knowledge you have, I know I would buy that
Bison 680 thats the plan just havent started yet i keep putimg starting of
Watching every episode! Nonstop
Take the Slingshot/Arrow Shooter you tested in this video that thing was totally awesome! Can’t wait to see you on the All Star Season of Alone if you go on it Mr Fowler!!!!!
Hey Mainer, I know exactly what you mean about the arrows, between losing some and breaking others, it is frustrating. I spent a lot of time hunting grouse with a slingshot in the Rangeley Lakes region.
And Zac, you really are great at what you. And it's great watching you. I don't want you to think my comments below were based in criticism so much as tips to a friend. Have a great week:)
Patrick Germond no worries
Have you thought of leaving your gear out to remove some of the human scent or using something to mask the scent before you heard back out on alone again? Would this help prevent animals from getting the drop on you?
you will just smell like fire smoke before to long any way. fishing for the win and if your lucky and there is actualy game to hunt well then you do your best
The best idea iv seen for a arrow for SS pouch use is.When using the store bought arrows, remove the nock and epoxy a golfball tee into the hole. This lets you pinch the tee just the same as ball ammo and you dont have to alter your release nor your cheek point . You could heat and soften the arrow nock and mushroom it out as well but the tee is more consistent and cheap to boot . They even come in Neon green and pink plus lend to glow paint too.
Growing up in WY 40 yrs ago we shot arrows out of wrist rocket sling shots and got pretty accurate with them as well.
Sir I love you channel. I have shot a sling bow before it had a name. To shoot an arrow out of a sling shot glue an gold tee in a carbon arrow it centers very well and a whisker biscuit can be used on a wrist rocket and it shoots very well and if you need to shoot a rock just pull the whisker biscuit out of the way. I am sure it has enough power to take deer size pray. Maybe bigger. Good luck.
thanks,it would be extremely
exciting. ........hope they have a Allstar .
Hi Zach i use golfing tee for my arrows they cool for the pouch.
I'm a proud owner of the hammer slingshot- part of my EDC, cannot go wrong with it.
Remove the nocks and glue in golf tees itll give ya something to grip
seen that haven't tried it I like using th nock and release now more draw strength
Very good video I love it so much
Great video bro!!
Love the series thanks
rockinrenoMC thank you
Cool
I need that shirt, that's awesome bud.
I love your videos! Great content. It would be interesting to see you on Naked and Afraid :) What tool would you take?
Love your channel
greetings from the uk west yorkshire catapults. cool videos dude just subbed ad watching as many as i can whilst......sat here working making "catapults" light bands gives better consistency try using 9.5mm steel ammo rocks tend to swerve all the best
Survival these days with all the hunting laws you would have to be a poacher to in order to truly live off the land. How did the Alone show approach this? Were there no fishing and hunting restrictions during your 87 days?
Don Boehner specal permission in Patagonia
Complains about breaking and losing arrows, proceeds to use arrows as target stands. Dude, you make me chuckle sometimes. XD
Yep. So awesome. 6 custom arrows; $50
70 3/8 steel ammo at Walmart; 4.48
No muss no fuss, no mess no stress. Slingshots are Zen.
Excellent videos. May I suggest you investigate Bill Hayes, superior slingshots, and some innovative simple accessories. He has some good ideas to shoot arrows. Good luck on your next adventure.
One of the best slingshot/sling bows is from chief AJ look it up it's great It can be used for hunting fishing and birding .
Impressive love the video's
THanks for watching
Is there going to be a all stars alone , what about the brothers will they pick just one of them.
😊 yippee can't wait
darci12u no cast yet im just taking it for granted that it will happen at some point and most likely when it dose i won't be able to actuily talk about it
bah ha! love that shirt!
It was your day 76. You had NO food except for dried out greens you collected early. You boiled it in water and when you drank it, you made mention it tasted like "Carrots" , then you started crying! Its alright Fowler, you are gonna make it!!
Exelent video!
Sweet idea man.
cool info ty for the video
Love yer shirt lol🏴
i think they already do a all star show, some off the name from earlier season is gone, from the internet,
fredde
hobbexp no cast yet im just taking it for granted that it will happen at some point and most likely when it dose i won't be able to actuily talk about it what they are doing now is second chance i belive
yeah ,,that sounds logical, a second chance show, i bet larry love that, he was so close,
Great vid wondering if you take your slingshot but make an atlatl when your there. IT's a bit of a learning curve but kind of the best of both worlds and better than nothing.
A canoe is a MUST BUILD on the next season, dugout or bark doesn’t matter just as long as it works. Just sit on it...
As a creator, that PiP trick with the mirror alone was worth watching and subbing your channel. That's something I'm gonna shamelessly steal.
Man i love your video
For ur pouch run a piece of paracord through the holes in the pouch to seat the arrow and if u make the para cord long enough u can move it out the way to shoot ammo I do the same thing but I have a whisker biscuit on my black widow slingshot that I modified so I can just take it off with a single finger screw
