How to make a primitive ARROW QUIVER from Tree Bark - bushcraft style
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- Hey folks, this week we're going to be making a arrow back quiver from tree bark. This bushcraft project is easy and you only really need a knife. The best time to harvest tree bark is in the spring when the sap is flowing. This time of year the bark will slip right off as you'll see in the video. For this quiver I'll be using the bark of black willow but there are many trees that'll work. Cottonwood, elm, poplar, cedar, etc. This quiver works great and looks even better. It's the perfect addition to your primitive archery or bowhunting setup.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
Big thanks to our partners who help support these videos!

You sir… are awesome
You do the coolest things with bows and survivalism in general.
Willow is a pretty useful tree. Isnt it? Willow furniture, the best charcoal for making gun powder, willow for mats and baskets, the inner bark as a pain reliever used in aspirin. Nature has its gifts, but only if we learn and appreciate them.
Yes it is!
I haven’t had a back quiver since I was a kid, time for another one! Gonna do one up like that this weekend! Thanks Clay!
Awesome!
3:09 I love your attitude and respect.
Thanks
This is very good
It's funny that I just watched Dave Canterbury's version of a bark quiver build, from tulip poplar, and every aspect of his build that I was questioning was addressed in this video.
I appreciate that I now have 2 methods to make a down and dirty bark quiver, whether I'm relying completely off of natural cordage or not, and how to make 2 distinct bottoms depending on the materials at hand.
Dave's requires a few more additional pieces, like rope, bank line and a saw. Dave offers a solution to the bark splitting due to him using the awl of his SAK, whereas as this one used a leather punch (that don't currently own). Dave's used a rope, whereas this one employed braided elm bark for the shoulder strap. Dave's didn't have a refined and reinforced rim, or a grass padded bottom either.
Both quivers are unique. Learning both gives me more options for my needs, available equipment and resources. Thank you both
Have you ever hunted in mocassins? That could make an interesting video
Nice quiver brother, I enjoyed the video, I make American indan tribe war clubs out of wood and some other stuff from wood, bone, stone, I know the time, and work it takes to make stuff of nature, stay wild and God bless everyone
Awesome! I’m regularly astounded by what nature provides. I can add this one to the list😁. Excited to see the green bow videos.
I think you’ll dig it!
Awesome.
Good
For those that want to know: in AZ during monsoon season you can peel off the bark of live mesquite trees like Clay does here to make the quiver (if you do this I suggest doing this with a thornless variety) and of course please be respectful towards nature and only take what you need 😊 (edited to fix a spelling mistake)
I really like this as a DIY project! I plan on doing this next spring. I'm in an area where there are a lot of birch trees. I plan on using that.
On parts of your video, it's difficult to see and understand how you reinforced the top rim as well as how you attached the strap to the quiver.
I will try to pause this and enlarge the screen. I guess I will have to improvise if I can't tell exactly how it is shown.
Got bored the other day while home sick...made one of these in a few hours! Great video 👍
Awesome!
Love your videos! Gonna make me my first bow before too long. First btw!
Great vídeo!! clay siempre 👍🏽saludos
great job on the quiver thanks for the vid keep them coming
great idea....and new project for me!
nice
Great video clay very well done and I learn something new to be old as ditrt
Love the quiver and look forward to the fire hardened bow 👍
My favorite channel, thank you!
Thanks much
I actually wasn’t overly interested in this topic ... but watched anyway. Dang, nicely made video and amazing quiver. Thumbs up!
much appriciated!
Nice work Clay, your quiver has a really authentic look.
Thanks
MSU knowledge. Great stuff.
No doubt!
I carry a Leatherman wave+ everywhere I go just for this type of reason never know when you'll see the perfect bark or twig or log.. I dig for burl knots and make clubs often so a folding shovel on the smaller side is also I must have.. I enjoy your video content.. keep up the good work..
Many thanks
Great video
That's awesome
Really cool video brother, love your content. I can't wait for more.
Thank ya!
On Learning how to fire harden bows special thanks two Keith Shannon and Thad Beckum
i love that his jeans are ripped, a man who absolutely knows how to stitch but just refuses.
🤣
Gotta say Clay''' this one hit the top of my WOW scale.. & it,s good to know their are folks like us who understand our forest & lands contain many gifts, all which are intended for people to gather & use. & is it not irritating to have to take time & explain to the ever present tree huggers just how natural order & real life cycle in the real world actually works''' & how nature takes care of its self just fine without any of their simple minded input''' just sayin'' Was curious though,, if you seal the bark inside or out with a clear coat of sorts'''or simply leave it be ? & a big thanks for sharing your knowledge my friend,,,keep em coming..
I’ve never tried putting any sealer on the bark.
Eastern White Pine, Birch, and Maple also works well for making quivers and other things like this.
Wow this is literally so awesome! I’m in need of a new quiver. I have one for my side but it’s so floppy and honestly gets on my nerves. I’ll have to try this one day!
That is sweet!
Here in MS, sweet gum is another one of those trees with an extensive, interconnected root system. And this would be a great way to make use of an otherwise nuisance tree. Thank you, Clay.
Good suggestions!
🏹🐟😋
Would this work with white or red oak? Or even maple or birch? I’m in the northeast. I love this!
I’ve peeled tulip poplar in the spring, it just falls off and you can make baskets, I didn’t know about willow. My jerk neighbor has a big willow in his yard now that I think about it lol.
Haha, covert ops!
I know this was 7mo ago, but I'll try...
Is there a reason you used tree bark laces? Was it just so the whole thing was tree bark? Or is there a reason to shy away from something like nettle cordage, or sinew.
is this a New camera set up.? this video looks GREAT
No, just my DSLR.
What type of multi tool? What type of wood for laces
Leatherman P4. Elm bark
Nice job man. Is this technique “best” in the spring, or only in the spring or what? Thanks!
The bark only slips in the spring when the sap is up.
Hello
Did you use willow bark for the laces or was that also the elm bark?
The lacing was willow.
Pretty sure I just saw you on the preview for Alone, season 8. Hope you fattened up for it.
I can neither confirm or deny said allegations...😜
@@clayhayeshunterI hope you won!
🕶
The willow you just got the back from will regrow if you had cut it down and putting a sharp point on it then push it into the ground it will re- root but as you left it like you did it will die nd that's a waste
It’ll resprout from the roots.
🤙🕶
How many arrows typically go into a quiver?
This one is pretty small but it’ll hold 5 arrows without crowding them too much.
Clay, I love your channel, but you'll never be a cougar.
But I can try!
I thought you were killing a whole tree at first by doing this. Thank you for addressing that fairly early in the video. Still feels a little wasteful, but at least the whole organism doesn't die because of it.
I propagated 6 willows this spring, so between Clay & me, there are more today than yesterday.
and then the tree dies
You should watch the video and learn something about trees...
