Slingshot or Slingbow What Should I Take on History's Alone All Stars (87 days Episode 11)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 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.
Dave Canterbury has a video series where he makes a DIY slingshot/slingbow combo...I duplicated his design and love it!
Can’t wait to see you go on alone all stars. Will be rooting for you! Stay safe and God bless!
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!
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 ✅
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.
Here’s an idea; build a “compound slingshot”. 7x regular velocity.
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.
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
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.
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?
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!
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.
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
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!!
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.
Great vid, Gonna enjoy seeing you back on the show...
13prevail Bushcraft thanks
when will he go?
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.
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.
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.
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 !!
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.
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’m a mechanic and I don’t like to see that symbol any how I like youre shirt 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
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
Man i love this channel
THE BEST
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
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...
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.
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.
.44 caliber balls (.454), designed for black powder revolvers, will dramatically increase the power of your slingshot and give you the ability to take humanely harvest larger variations of small game, varmints, etc.
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!
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.
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
That's a funny shirt!
Love your channel
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
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
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!!!!!
Growing up in WY 40 yrs ago we shot arrows out of wrist rocket sling shots and got pretty accurate with them as well.
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'm a proud owner of the hammer slingshot- part of my EDC, cannot go wrong with it.
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
Hi, your videos are great, entertaining and full of nuggets. The T-shirt is awsome!
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)
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.
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!
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.
I love my bows, but your right about sling shots.
Awesome watching videos with you
If you bring a slingshot you can use rocks as ammo if you run out,but if you bring a slingbow you can harvest bigger game.way out the differences and pick what is more important
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
Alone All Stars !!! Excited
As a kid I launched arrows out of my wrist rocket with reasonable accuracy. No modificatios at all. I never actually harvested an animal but I terrorized the straw bales daily.
Dan Basham ya the wisper bisket is prity nice thow
Complains about breaking and losing arrows, proceeds to use arrows as target stands. Dude, you make me chuckle sometimes. XD
Didn’t know these existed, so cool. I definitely want one now.
I’m no expert, but I would practice making/using atlatls and use the item for something else.
Oh, look at that. A way to smuggle ball bearrings onto Alone without it causing you much problems. Also, the arrow tip could be used as a drill. If you can get a two in one, that would be awesome.
Mr Fowler....you look to be in great shape, but, for my 2 cents worth of advice: Start Putting on a bit of weight. The extra weight you carried in (on your person) I think, helped you carry on for that extra day past your nearest competitor.
Paul T. Ill do my best last time i had been gaining that waight since highschool
Come stay with my mom. She will fatten you up in 2 weeks! :)
(She was born during The Great Depression, so, food is a big issue for her)
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
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
I have a Hybrid. That shouts both. Just in case. If you go with a slingshot you'll need a slingbow. But if you go with a slingbow you will need a slingshout. So hack it and have both were what ever happens you'll be as read as you can be.
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
Dave Canterbury does what you describe with a hand reel for fishing in 2021.
You actually wanna do the same thing with your hammer that I wanna do with mine. I want to attach a fishing reel to the bottom, tough finding a weaver mounted fishing reel though
Pocket shoot has caps that go on the end of your arrows to use if you don't want to knock the arrows. Give them a look.
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
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!
On the sling bow use golf tees for nocks...work great
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
If you take the knock off an aluminum arrow you can glue a golf tee in the end and will work in the pouch
Chief AJ sling bows have a pouch and arrow rest that folds down. Check them out. And are legal for big game. 50# draw weight. And will sling a rock.
Love yer shirt lol🏴
Looks good. If I can make one suggestion, don't grip the handle. Open your fingers and just let the handle push between your thumb and forefinger. When you grip a bow it causes you to shake. Opening up your fingers will stop some of the sway. Your aim looks good, but it might help make it even better. If you watch the Olympic archers you'll see the bow drop after they take a shot, that is why. Good luck!
Take the knock out the back of the arrow and epoxy a golf tee in the back to create something to hold onto in the pouch.
Love all your vids and your honesty
Max OD thanks
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
You should see if Joerg Sprave will send you one of his inventions if you get called up again, he makes the best slingbows ever conceived
Chef AJ Slingbow might be a option. Don't know much about slingshots but seems like it would work.
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.!
i cant wait to watch that
you're a remarkable person zach i love your channel
You can also build a wood raft to get out in the deeper water and catch the bigger fish. Just a suggestion. :)
Bob Perry sounds like a plan
Watching every episode
Very good video I love it so much
Dave Canterbury of Dual Survival fame already created the sling bow with a built-in pouch, and a flip up whisker biscuit which doubles as a sight. I think his channel is wilderness outfitters, or wilderness outdoors. Something like that. Check it out.
Leo Ryan coom will do
try the RS-x7 doomsday slingshot crossbow
You just need a soft quiver It will keep the arrows from falling out even when you run and the quiver can bend toward you when you pull the arrows out
thanks,it would be extremely
exciting. ........hope they have a Allstar .
IF you're gonna do arrows, you might as well get yourself a nice takedown bow. They're superlight and don't take up much more than 24-25 inches. Mine is a 50lb draw at 60" total bow length when assembled. It could fit inside of that same quiver you're using with no problems. You don't need one @ 50lb, if you're not trying to take down large game anyway.
That t-shirt is awesome
Sling Shot for fun and the bow sling is for hunting if it’s all you got
I used to go with my grandad an family friend mooching (poaching) with slingshots. A tree fork catty an elastic bands in chains in late 70s, only recently learned that Mexican shooters used same rig. I come up with my dart rig abt 12 yrs ago, in the field very effective on small game an birds, even used wooded fire harden tip wood darts to good effect.... anyway in last few years seems loads peeps have either used my style darts or similar version. Recently seen Pana style darts used for fishing, so I would have thought how abt a catty modified to be used for round ammo, darts an arrow? Easy enough to quick switch between all aspects of ammo with right rig! Easy peasy an you have small game an fish covered but only need on adapted shooter sir
See this is why in the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time it was lame to take away the slingshot and boomerang when Link gets old. Perfect game otherwise but taking away the boomerang especially was Zelda blasphemy.
You could probably add some daub to the wattle you have on your hut, although I am unaware of the clay content of most soil in Maine....still would be a good idea if you want the best flame and wind resistance (medieval peasant all the way)
Kyle Wynne there is some good mud down in my pond and once th walls drie out for a season i may just do that if not everywhere at least behind my fire place
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
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
