This was wild! Solo camping on this tropical island with ONLY a Bow and Arrows! I have to try and catch something to eat... This island has sharks everywhere and became my main target for a Survival Catch n Cook
#cooking #food #hunting
Hey so when you’re bowfishing you have to aim low due to the light refraction. Idk how much per depth but the sunlight makes it look like it’s not as shallow. So I’d say in like 3 feet of water aim at the bottom of the fish. I haven’t read any previous comments so idk if anyone has told you this . Anyhow I hope it helps and I like your videos. Thanks for making them. Lol
Yup 100%
That's fairly accurate it's pretty much 15%-20% per foot
Aim at the shadow, tricks of the trade
Great advice. But why are we all ignoring the fact that this whole concept is BS. Target tipped arrows (one broadhead) with no line shooting at 3ft plus sharks....WTF! even if he hits one he will never recover it. The odds of a stone shot are so low they aren't even worth considering. This is unethical and total bullsh*t. It's like deer hunting with a pelt gun.
@@victorderose7945 Chill man he can see the entire lagoon... that shark would die in sight if he hit it... this is also a survival channel not just for funzzies
The problem you are facing with your bow fishing is that you are thinking of the target (fish) being exactly where it is visually. That is actually not the case due to Refraction. The fish (or shark) is actually slightly lower in the water than it appears due to the way light interacts. You can test this interaction by placing a pencil in a half full glass of water.
But yeah cool video, just a tip on how to improve your accuracy in this regard.
Along with refraction the arrow hits the water tip first and flattens out a little
P} ~eeisueuuei
Its called apparent depth nd the real depth lie on lower surface
So basically exactly what the comment above you said before you posted this. Got it
He was also not using the right arrow tips and not drawing the bow correctly for a powerful hit
You are the only survival TH-camr that doesn’t act like he is the toughest man on earth. Respect.
Hahaha I hear ya bro, just be real yeah 💪🏾

@KPhunter2012 He’s a lot tougher than you’ll ever be 😂
@@SurvivalBeast I hope you’re OK 5:02
Might want to plant either a coconut or some limes there. Considering you're not staying on the island 24/7 all year long, it would make an excellent project to check on their growth when you come back. The lime would also be an excellent source of fruit juice and vitamin c, some aloe vera plants would also help with any burns you might sustain.
I would recommend you get one of those massive straw hats and some kind of cloak to help cut down on the sun's effects on your body. You can still wear just shorts and shoes underneath it and it doesn't have to longer than your waist to avoid it getting waterlogged, but there is a lot of danger involved with sun exposure on what amounts to a deserted island(heat stroke, heat exhaustion, skin cancer, dehydration, and delirium are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head right now).
You also might want to make a project out of moving some of those rocks to form a pier of sorts out into the water. That way you can safely walk out further into the water without needing to worry so much about getting cut on the rocks if you slip. Maybe want to bring some fishing line so that you can attach it to your arrow so that you can haul the arrow and whatever its speared back to you, cause bigger fish like the shark are not going to go down right after you spear them and might escape with your arrow instead out into deeper/more dangerous waters.

I am from the Caribbean. Try scaling the fish and then cook it whole. That lets you eat the skin too. It’s very delicious and nutritious!
I agree, if you were surviving for months out there you would definitely want to get the fat and nutrients from the skin. (and its delicious)
I wish I could live there 🥲
hello
I’ve spent a couple hundred hours bow fishing. A couple observations: bow fishing arrows are heavy fiberglass, heavier the better really, you loose a lot of energy in the water. Also, you aim 6 inches below the fish for every foot of depth, so 2 feet deep-shoot 1 foot below. Also, only certain species are fair game for bow fishing, not sure if salt water regulations are different and obviously different state/countries would have different regulations.
Great tips
Kinda doubt this dude is carrying around a fishing license or cares for his "survival" series. Kinda erks me to see people blatantly doing something they've clearly never practiced before with little regard for rules or regulations. It's better content to see someone good at their craft rather than flying by the seat of their pants in a very high skill-cap technique. Like dude, at least setup some targets underwater that aren't moving and hit those before you're trying to hit a live shark and miss every time. In a survival situation I guess you gotta do what you gotta do but if you're doing it for fun then at least put some effort in for fucks sake.
@@thomasriding3194exactly your comment. The guy is only interested in making $$content and either doesn't care about his environmental impact or doesn't have the intelligence to calculate it. My first concern was how he was going to collect any fish he hit... bit I'm guessing a few sharks swimming around with arrows hanging out of them would be a laugh. 🤔
Bless up🙏🏾❤️
Good job brother all you have is a survival knife, a bow, and a fire starter kit. People talk crap on these commeit's like it's easy and if they're professionals. Like I said good job, all you had is 3 things to survive and you did!
New drinking game before you watch this video take a shot every time he misses a shark lol , Goodluck hahaha ,thanks for the videos peace from good old Australia
Hahaha brooooooooo
Lol hahaha big thanks for the videos I carved out a wooden gum tree lure I would love to see what it does got a po Box LoL
Nice broo
@@SurvivalBeast nice island where are you?
I don't know how you are holding your nock end, but you sometimes hold your finger around the arrow at the rest. When ppl do this, it's usually because they are touching the arrow as they draw and the arrow is trying to swing out on them. When you draw make sure you are not touching the arrow, just the string. The nock will hold to the string all on it's own. Holding the arrow at either end will throw off the arrow, and squeezing the nock as you draw is what causes the arrow to swing. Also, since you are using a bow that does not have a rest, you might want to try tilting the bow for your shot, make a v between the bow and your finger, and only hold the bow with your thumb and index finger. Don't grip your bow.
If you are 10 feet (3 m) away from the fish, and you guestamate that the fish is about a foot under the water, aim 4 inches (10cm) lower than you see the fish. If you think the fish is lower than a foot aim lower still. Those shark look like they almost swim with their bellies touching the bottom. go take a walk out there where you have seen them and get an idea how deep the water is there. If it's 2 feet, aim somewhere between 6 and 9 inches lower than you see the fish.
Fuzzycuzzy might be right about the Shark swimming off with the arrow; you might think about putting a line on the arrow. You might also want to put a fishing tip on it so it can't pull itself off the arrow. Good luck.

You have such a great attitude despite missing a dozen times. Inspiring.
I found it somewhat amusing because normally I’m somewhat coordinated but this time clearly not 😅😅😅
Sutup
the speed that shark took off is mind blowing
hello
I still can’t believe you responded to my comment on a six month old video, keep it real dude, love your content.
Had a bit of catching up to do I guess hahaha thanks legend 🙌🏾
Started bow fishing at 12 years old. Got a 9 inch trout. In 40 years I got a few hundred fish.
$3 bounty on carp, 17 one day. I love it
Bro u r a straight BAD ASS! Loving these vids! Wish I could live this way
It's amazing how much skill guys in the comments section have. I've grown in cities and always wished to have an wilderness sensation. Salute to all you experienced survival intelligent guys. I'd love to learn all
Hes missing shots 5 ft away. He should have practiced shooting fish in water or something because he sucks. I can also talk because i go carp hunting and the shots are further away and I don't miss near as much esp from that range.
Taking a second look, this guy isnt using the correct arrows, hes using hunting arrows which 1) are tip heavy, 2) wont hold on to the fish at all.
Spanish flag taste soo good from what I remember when I was younger 👍💪
This kind of snapper eats many crabs and prawns so it taste like them! Really tasty fish
Hey Cavy you should try a fish trap. Pick a good spot & arrange some rocks & or branches, leave an opening and chuck in some crushed crabs (fish guts or whatever) when the tide goes out. When the tide comes in bingo dingo easy targets. I've done this before to catch bait, whiting and mullet mostly. Sand hole traps on sand banks with an entrance work great like this also.
Just thought it be a bit weird to capture fish in a trap then shoot them hahaha but yeah seems like I probably need to do this 😂
Do you think you could then block that opening and stun them by hitting something hard on the water surface?
hi
I sure do like watching your most awesome life. Your truly blessed to be in the creator's paradise, good work Survival Beast.
Glad to see you switched up from field tips to broadheads.
Love your content your one of the best out the sending much love from West Yorkshire in UK 🇬🇧
Try fiber-soul tabis. Japanese fisherman boots with the split toe. Great grip on slippery anything and will reject urchin spines and/or fire rock. They also dry real quick.
Shout out bro from philipines❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭
My butt puckered when you fell. It's an involuntary reaction, it just happens! 🤣
Lol brutal
Love what you do. I watch all the adds in hopes it supports you and what you do :). Keep it real brother
just enjoyable to watch and Chill with it . Please keep on making them
Thanks bro will be able to do longer videos soon so that will be cool 👍🏽
@@SurvivalBeast Yeay keep going
You are truly a brave man with very good fighting skills and strength
The Shark just want to Play With you,really I'm sure..... 🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing a new adventure! May be one day will be with a trap, any kind, use imagination; may be like a circle fence hidden under the sand close to the shore and that can be lifted when shark is in ... Or a big plastic bag for smaller fish for baits... I mean has to be funny when missed as much funny this video was! I really enjoy watching you, many thanks for your hard work.
I love these videos man, and especially the recent ones where you show us the struggles. Seeing you try time and time again and still hit no sharks really hits me because even though you're missing, you have no choice but to keep trying until you eventually succeed, and that's life. In the cities the struggles are different, but the process is the same, and it's been since the dawn of mankind.
These videos motivate me and i'm sure a lot of people feel the same, keep up the work bro
Well spoken.
I just like watching him spear sharks lol
Came here from tiktok love the vids
Thanks bro! Few ppl stealing my stuff on that profile which sucks but cheers man, happy you enjoy the vids
Wow...it's awesome, my friend. Sending encouragement to you 😁
this episode is mega honest. im glad you posted it. it's not all fun and games, even if your good at it. big ups from Philadelphia. South Philly Brother!
i used to shoot shit bows. then compound bows. jus shoot'n haystacks and pumpkins. ha! PLUS you gotta hold the camera like shit is dope bro!
Yeah dude! Keeping it real is the way , I used to just show all the good times and never the struggles but now will be everything from good and bad hahaha. Thanks bro ! I’ll probably be purchasing a more powerful bow and better arrows as I found this very fun to do
This is a good time with you and I love you
I must say, that looks absolutely delicious
Hard to be fresh seafood with some nice spices and lime
Your a true Legend Cavy 👏 🙌 ❤️ 🙏 💙
Nice video. I love to watch it. It was cool to relax alone down there.
We shall call you Aqua Robin Hood...🏹🏹🏹..... Sorry your fall..... Fill better mate✌️🍻🐟🎣
Thanks bro ! Just a few small cut and bruised
I was a science teacher. Light bends toward the normal when it passes through a denser medium, such as water or glass, just like a car axle passing through deep mud at an angle. Then it reverts to its original direction in air or space, so, if you are looking at something in water, it is slightly below where it appears to be. Keep doing it. You're having more fun than me.
Never heard the phrase "Bob's your uncle" had to laugh to the randomness to it and searched it up. Bless ur day and honest content
Australian thing pretty sure! Thanks
You has to put some target underwater for testing shots .. also if fish is in the move you must shot before fish not exactly to fish .. ballistick tricks ;-) Nice nature nice video - wish you good luck ;-)
You: So glad we caught this
Me: quick glance down at the couch
I enjoyed this so very much as a 60 years woman who would have loved to have you tube exist to keep me company on my windsurfing adventures. Cheers
Windsurfing sounds very fun!
Haha yeah I like to say “we” because it becomes not just “me” anymore, so it’s more personal and involves all of us together 😁
An inch or 2 lower than where you think my brother because of refraction. You're living mate, bloody love it 👌🏽💪🏽👍🏽!!
Noted!!! Will have to aim below the target from now on
Beautiful views great camera work….
the fart had me dying😂😂😂
Hahaha sorry about that!
due to water refraction you have to aim way under the fish in order to hit it.
NOBODY has ever been better at spooking fish with bow and arrow
If that was *my* island I'd be moving rocks around to make tidal pools, and mazes where the fish would get trapped.
Failing that, a cast net would be much more useful, I would think.
Yeah I’d prefer the rock formation idea over a net
ladies and gents is tougher then it looks!
Keep up the great content man 💪🔥 always keen to see a new video
Your issue wasn't hitting the sharks with the arrow. It was using practice points and it not being able to penetrate their skin thickness because of arrow speed and sharpness. Use that broadhead but first get used to shooting the broadhead arrow because it will fly differently than the practice tips. Save those practice tips for the fish. Also to reduce weight battery wise you should consider carrying a small solar charge panel and use that to charge as you go out and about to record your adventures. Cut down on size and weight, plus you have more room for the good shit! :) Love this show bro. Would love to have the time and means to travel like this.
Watching you opening that coconut made me remember a time.. i was on vacation. via airplane.. so no knives.. found an amazing coconut i wanted to eat so badly.. only thing i had to use was the clasp on my belt.. It tasted amazing!
This my favourite video of yours. I think your videos are getting better mate. Looks like you're having a lot of fun!
It's probably a good thing you didn't hit a shark, it would have just swim away with your arrow in its head
Any larger fish will swim off with your arrow. You need a line attached to the arrow. And use fishing arrows not dumbass target arrows and broad heads. Taking potentially wounding shots at quarry is inhumane. You will wound it, It will swim off, and suffer for hours before it dies because of your naïveté. Keep your kills clean or f off, yeah?
hello
Love your adventures. Keep them a coming. Cheer !!😎
Sehr sympathischer Kerle.......die Ruhe selbst obwohl nix klappt
The skin of the fish you pilled up is the most delicious part of the grilled fish.
Except it was cooked close to the fire so the skin burns and the fish is dry without scales. If no scales on fish can eat skin but need to cook it longer and away from the fire more , so yeah I agree, crispy skin is amazing
I’ve been waiting for a shark video from you for years! Love it! Keep it up mate!
Very true been a long time! There’s so many of them here so don’t feel bad to take one every now and then. Now we just have to get em haha
@@SurvivalBeast poor shark, why we need to catch them
@@SurvivalBeast It's actually very unhealthy to eat sharks
Cant lie, those were some clean attempts at the sharks. Glad to see you brought spices this time! You deserve some good seasonings on those amazing catches, bring a spear with you next time just as a back up. I thought the bow an arrow was a nice touch! Stay full and safe brother! 👌🏻🐠🐟
Hahah I just think I need a bit more practice and a better Bow n Arrows!
Yeah itll come with time, you are already good at spear fishing so you understand water refraction well. I cant wait to see you arrow a shark. Do they make bows with reels on them? If so That'd be a great investment.
"Bob is your uncle" 🤣🤣
Hay! Bro! I like all of ur films, see visions are different from open air and under water!
Yes it's nice scenery change above and below, thanks bro!
Loved your video. It's the first one I've seen you do; definitely not the last. You might try using a slingbow some day. The wrist rocket conversions are easier to become accurate with than a bow, take up a lot less room in your pack, water won't damage it (at least not in the short term), and you can attach a fishing reel to keep the fish from swimming away with your arrow. Also, those of us who bowfish usually wade (in fresh water)--if you are still for a while, the fish will come close. Aim low and up close for the best results. Also, fishing points will work much better than broadheads or target points, because the fish cannot dislodge them and swim away.
where are you from
@@aytuncuslu I live in northeast Oklahoma. We have seven lakes and several rivers and streams in about a 30-minute drive. I've not been to one of the bow fishing tournaments in the last few years, but Lake Eufaula used to have a great tournament every year. My partner and I took 3rd place one year with 270 pounds of fish. You are not allowed to hunt gamefish, but our wildlife department has always encouraged bow fishing for carp. Bow fishing keeps the carp numbers down, so they do not crowd out bass and other freshwater game fish. Some of the hunters took their bounty home (to pressure cook and turn into fish patties), but most of the fish went to a local restaurant that specialized in that type of cuisine. We used a boat to get to good spots, but mostly we waded in ankle to knee-deep muddy water. You can hunt using a fishing reel, or you can just use cheap wooden arrows without a line. Either way, the fish cannot get away once they've been arrowed. Don't use a fancy, expensive bow, though. Instead, use a cheap, fiberglass recurve or a sling bow. I'm an instinctive shooter, so I don't even use a sight, and I wade in shorts and tennis shoes. It's great fun. You should try it.
@@MWStepp I will definitely try it, by the way, I live in Turkey.
@@aytuncuslu So what's bow fishing like in Turkey? Do you hunt deer or other large game with a bow and arrow? Do you hunt with a rifle? The most popular hunting here is done with a rifle, but many of us prefer to hunt with bows and arrows. After a few years of hunting with a rifle, many Americans, especially those of us who live in more primitive areas, prefer to hunt with bows, because it is much harder and requires a lot more skill at stealth, camouflage, and tracking.
@@MWStepp Publishing is never used in turkey, we just use guns and instead of hunting deer, more bird species are hunted here.
i love how hard i was judging you and ive never even been camping before lmao. i woulda missed everything yet i was like "he STILL has nothing" lmao
And here i was waiting for a shark to be caught
How have I never seen this Cavy channel.
If I was bow hunting as a experienced archer , I would create a sight point based on a underwater target that takes out a lot of the guess work . But if your hell bent on shooting without a sight point then good luck and lots of practice , one way or the other good on you bro for using the bow .
This bow definitely ain’t quality, just something I found along the journeys , but I’m pretty hooked on this now! So will do some more research and find something more suitable to the task! Thanks bro
@@SurvivalBeast Just want to say that Turkic style bow's may not be the bee's knee's for fish hunting , but it has killed ten's of thousand of people . So at some point it's gonna bag you a fish keep it up and best of luck .
13:27 into this video and the bow hunter is 0 for 21…Yet his attitude and his will, to get a fish, remain very high. “The successful hunter is always persistent”

Thanks for the awesome quote 👍🏽
Thorntons the last name of my crush lol
Bro your video is very best than other survival channel...your channel is the best ...you are better than ybs
I'm waiting for the shark🤦♂️😂
Hey man i absolutely love your videos. Just discovered them recently and cant stop watching.
Can you tell me where you are for these kind of videos? I think i heard between indonesia and australia on some of the islands there is that correct? And how do you get on these islands and back again?
Hi mate, actually most of these videos aren’t between anywhere. They are filmed around Indonesia, there’s 17,000 islands so hard to say exactly where but I just search on google where I want to go and then approach local fisherman with boats to take me out to uninhabited islands! Sometimes the plans work and sometimes fails haha but just have to keep exploring
For the bow you’re using I’d recommend wood arrows they bend more and that’s what you’d want for that type of bow, it’ll be easier I’m pretty sure
Better than a slingshot with arrows, so very accurately hitting the fish
I value your struggle, brother!
Nice job on the fish. Perseverance typically produces positive results.
Hopefully I get better at it and can get a bit more success but that was correct bro, never give up
You succeeded in making a video on how not to bow hunt sharks. Well done 👍
Hahaha I agree bro
You need to get your index finger of the right hand away from the Arrow. Aim should be much better!
Just grap the bow with your full hand and just rest the arrow on top of it. Dont extend your index finger. if the arrow falls down, angle your bow alittle bit to the left like you already do.
Beautifull place btw.
Makes perfect sense to try perfect my technique! Appreciate it 😁 also I think I need to upgrade the bow to a more powerful draw weight and heavier arrows!
Good video. Nice to see someone uploading stuff that doesn't go perfectly
at home this is how we cok fish with scales in the oven , like bass and crappie... with scales on the open up like clam shell no need to waist your time prepping them, nice to see somone who knows that
Loved the bow fishing bro pleeeeease do more of that!! And what is in your bag of spices? I want to replicate it and put it on fish to taste what you're tasting 😋
Hey bro for sure be doing more! So fun. In the spice bag I have - Salt , pepper , bay leaf , garlic powder, paprika and chili powder 🌶
@@SurvivalBeast Hell ya oh ya i forgot you told us in one of your last videos haha but hell ya imma make some of that for sureee
Great episode. Man I wish I lived there.
Fish are trawling you bro😂🐟🐟🐠😂
Hahahah I believe you!
When you fell. Sharks be saying haha Get a fishing rod and you will eat like a king.
I so wish I could join you on one of these adventures!
hi
Wow....I have always been a fan of "Man vs Wild" from my childhood and now after discovering your channel this became my New favourite .... and from now gonna watch'em all !! Can you please share the island locations in the description... that would be very great!
Search field days
Field days is way better
Lol 😝😌❤@ that is sick...keep it up loving it from St.lucia
This series is more like vacationing in a paradise island, eating seafood and drinking coconut water having a gala time, than a real survival series. This fellow even has lime to put on fish, next time try add a clove of garlic, bring a ketchup, some pepper etc.
Love your stuff dude 🤘. True believer in catch and cook. An old mate of mine was an bowman and i remember him telling me years ago that he had to aim underneath the target because the arrow dips as it flies. Don't know how much or what distance he shot though, sorry. hope this is of some use to you though. Keep it up mate!🤙
Shouldnt you aim further up then? That would be logical to cancel out the dip. If the arrow dips i.e loses height as it flies it would make no sense to aim even further down, that would only cause you to miss by a larger margin.
You’re not considering the refraction of the light. So that’s why you’re constantly missing. It looked like in the shallow part it was about a foot so you want to aim 3 inches/7 cm lower from your target
That was RAMBO material.
Great video. Thank you
This was my first video I watched on this channel it was really good
I've done alotta Bow Fishing in my youth. Never for survival tho. I'd love to do that 😁👍🤙
Love your content, just curious to know where was that (island name)?
Love from Dubai
Survival 101: shoot your bow right-handed.
Amazing 😉
I've never seen anyone hold a bow like you do. I think changing that and aiming lower will help greatly.
What way to hold it?
Bare in mind I’m ambidextrous- though slightly prefer left hand
Please , tell us about the camera you use , liked the quality
17:43 that coconut is huge lol.
Awesome video I’m very jealous! The only question I have is weather you use polarised glasses when you fish? I’m only asking because you seemed to be aiming high and polarised lenses give better depth perception through water, I suppose you would just adjust your aim over time but I’m curious! I should be asleep now but decided on watching your vid first and I’m starving now thanks 😂👍
Finally shot a fish + epic fart + coconut for desert = solid vid 👌👊🤙🤣
Hahaha couldn’t remember if I left the fart in or not lol , glad you see the humor in it!
Gotta setup a target under water, and then practice!
bro is playing rust irl i wanna do stuff like this one day great content man keep on doing your thang looks really fun!
Dripping down those rocks covered in bird poop. I don’t know bout dat.
Maybe I’ll turn into birdman, kind of like Spider-Man theory
@@SurvivalBeast 🤣😂🤣😂. Be careful out there. That’s some pretty unforgiving terrain.
