I love how when he was talking about primitive hunting at the start of the video they showed the footage of annalise chasing turkeys
Is she related to Andy? How's her name spelt?
Next Time how to create a dinosaour
There are historians who suggest that prior to real weapons a strategy that early humans used for hunting was to simply chase their prey until they died of exhaustion. Humans are pretty uniquely capable among mammals of long distance running due to bipedal-ism, quadrupeds have their breathing restricted by how their torso contorts as they run.
Yup.
Imagine being the animal:
Sees human, runs the F away... Later, as you are resting the human just show up and is like "Sup, you dead yet..?". So, you run away again.
And this just keeps happening until you straight up drop dead from exhaustion.
Basically, humans are like Slow Zombies in the movies;
You can easily run away from us, but we just keep coming until you are dead.
Humans are scary beasts.
@@The_Keeper humans are also easy to kill as large mammals go, so like sow zombies the danger is still relatively low when there is just one.
"being able to hunt from a distance has obvious advantages" *shows footage of assistant chasing wild turkeys around the parking lot with a large stick*
that was hunting for hundreds of years, you chase it, it runs and you chase some more til it collapses and you have food
@@charlescourtwright2229 it must be scary knowing you will die despite being faster
@@hiimryan2388 dunno dude. turkeys and stuff are pretty dumb.

I would like this comment but you’re pf pic scares and confuses me
I'd honestly like to see, especially with something like your bow where there is an obvious area to improve (i.e., not overtillering), an episode where you compare a first, second, and third attempt of some tech. I think even over only three tries you would be able to document considerable improvement in both crafting time and performance.
Yup, you learn more from the first 10 times you do something than you do from the next 100.
I agree it took me several tries to make a bow that even threw the arrow further than I could.
@@The_Keeper and I would propose that it's because it's a logarithm.
I completely agree because I made my first bow from birch when I was 7 yrs old and since have learned how to use two different types of wood adhered together to make a much stronger recurve that has a pull strength at around 90lbs when freshly strung and also has been treated and has a nice custom coating on it to prevent it from rotting at all and it seems to add a bit more strength.
12:50 “I am going to cheat.” Instantly cuts herself.
Andy: why is there blood on this? Anyway...
Woman moment
U should have straighten the arrows by pulling them through a flame and then straighten them,, tip for next time. either way really impressive work
Flame? I was thinking thoroughly soaking them, and then there are many ways to shape and form them before it dries again.
@@micahphilson @Lusmiaka is right, Flame.
Flame will steam the moisture in them to make it only slightly pliable, to straighten and they dry out straight.
Soaking wouk make them Fully pliable, but when you straighten it theres now more moisture to dry out and more time for it to re warp with sun/ inconsistent drying in areas, bending it again.
This is akin to fletcher using a 'Kiln'
@@mattmadolah cool to know, I didnt know that was a procedure. The bit about taking more time to dry giving more time for errors makes sense, though. Definitely has to be fresh, live wood, then, to have enough moisture to make it work, and you'll need some good gloves to work with steaming hot wood. Could you combine them and slightly soak the wood to do the process with older wood or more than once?
You can also use the soaking method with a rough mold and means to keep enough pressure on it that it can't flex out of place. Even better, though, would have been for them to use something like dogwood or reeds (phragmites for example) or even bamboo; hardy but light, much better for arrow bodies than shafts from saplings, especially with their currently available tools. Far easier to process, as well.
@@micahphilson u only heat the area with the bend, and then use something to lever it on like your knee so that way the area u touch is more or less cold
The bow is one of the best ranged weapons.
*Sad sling and throwing spear noices *

First like and first comment
I bet if Archaeologists thousands of years in the future found your tools they'd will be very confused
I bet if he like accidentally left his axe somewhere and forgot about it for about 2 years, then archeologist find it and think it was a preserved axe from 6000B.C. or something and kt gets on the news, then htme sees it, goes to the archeologists and ask them if he can have it back

I’ve been pretty critical of the quality of your tools. This is the first video that I think you’ve done a pretty good job. I know that sounds like a back-handed compliment, but I really was impressed at the progress you’ve made.
Love seeing how you learn even during the videos- how you got more efficient splitting the wood for the stave
Yeah, it's like me at my job. I do it the textbook way then find a more straightforward way of doing it that saves time and effort. The thing between my ears is the best tool.
Wanted to wait till the end but I love how he doesn't use modern technology to help him I appreciate his calmness to be able to strip and split logs in half I'm ondeia and I absolutely appreciate everything you guys have done
Why do I have a feeling that you're going to use that clip of Anelise (sp?) chasing those turkeys around every time you mention hunting? lol
Thats how vegetarians came about. some hippies chasing food, got tired and started eating plants.

When you fix the axe, make sure the face sides of the axe head don’t touch the inside or the handle hole. This will stop it from breaking in the future.

Mr.Beast cringing
This bow has like a 33' brace height and a terrifying hinge!! Glad you didn't get hurt shooting it.
30-ish lbs is a perfectly normal draw weight for a sort of civil use primitive bow like this, to my understanding. Even some forms of warbow were fairly "low" poundage like the one you've made, really high draw weight bows were used primarily in contexts where they would be expected to punch through layers of armor, especially through volley fire at long distances.
Speaking of, do you guys plan on going into armor technology at all? Might be cool to see you guys try out some early forms of textile armor.
Wooden armor and leather too. Or even bone armor.
Skele Boner funny you mention volley fire, didn’t really happen that much or at all, just like the ‘at long distance’ part. Archers would go for direct fire and made sure they’d hit. At a long distance it’s to hard to hit the weakspots if the armour aswell as the facts that the arrow slows down and thus isn’t powerfull enough to penetrate anyway. Because of the distance you’d also have to fire the arrow into the air, losing more energy.
@@sdv4675 Armour wasn't very common in most places up until late in antiquity, and even then a constant barrage will eventually hit exposed body parts. Arrows are also a very good ballistic projectiles; the typical arrow from a bow will retain about 80-90% of it's original kinetic energy within 100 metres (compare to 50-60% for a musket ball at the same distance).
@@sdv4675 Aiming at weak spots in armour wasn't really a thing in the way you say it is. If anyone is close enough where you can reliably hit a moving weak spot, they're close enough to kill you before you can draw a second arrow. Most cultures that employed archers in their armies required them to shoot an arrow a certain distance, rather than hit a target at a close distance. This implies that they value range over precision. This corresponds to the idea of volume of arrows, which is also supported by medieval texts.
You can "fully cast" the copper tools using rocks in which you carved the shape of what you want to cast. Afterwards, you only need to melt the metal (at least partially) and put it in the rock-cast. Two or more rocks can be pressed together to get more difficult shapes going, and rubbing the rocks together in a circular motion would lead to the contacting faces of the rocks to eventually connect rather smoothly (if they're flat enough).
Boy Scouts know, making a bowstring is harder than it seems.
I was an archery instructor at a boy scout camp. You have no idea how much i dreaded that day.
@@blacklabel6223 I remember being instructed at a boy scout camp, I can understand why teaching that part would suck.
@@blacklabel6223 What makes the process so difficult? I remember when I made a bow string the process didn't seem all that difficult. Does the camp you work at have the scouts start from scratch?
My dad pretty much taught me everything Boy Scouts are taught, including this... Might’ve been the most work I did out of any lesson he taught me
@@johncena4458 good for you.
Nice job! Totally competent bow. For the release, the draw hand comes to your established resting point, string is allowed to roll off the limp fingertips. You do not need to flick the fingers open or move them quickly out of the way. It can be tricky though if youre still learning to trust the bow youre using. Great job and i hope you stick with archery
I appreciate how far you've come to this point. You're a curious primitive tech that's attacking all this and gaining a skill.

Elm is probably one of the hardest woods to split evenly.People use elm when they want wood that won’t split! I’m amazed that he could make what he did from elm.I would never attempt to split elm like that.
I really hope this series lives long and strong. I can’t wait to see Andy build his own steam engine and get into the industrial revolution to manufacture parts efficiently
Not as unrealistic as some people may think.The first officially recognised steam engine was invented in the 1st century AD in ancient Greece. Unfortunately, because they used an external wood-fire rather than an internal coal fire to heat it, it was seen at the time as nothing more than a toy as it put out far less power than the slaves feeding the flames could themselves.

@@geraldfrost4710 right? gonna be a fun and interesting journey!
You guys should try making the bow string from spider silk. You'll have to flush the stickiness off with a combination of fine sand and goo gone adhesive remover. I would say weave the silk fibers together when they are sticky while wear nitrile gloves or some means to prevent the stickiness coming off.
The primitive way to do this would be to get 2 20-40lb stones and make the surface of them as flat as you can get them. Take sand from the desert and grind it against the stones for a finer grit sand. Combine plant oil from oily plants and animal fat for the adhesive remover.
As a bowyer, I'd like to commend you on your first attempt at a bow using primitive methods. I'd also like to point out the HUGE henge on the bottom limb. You can really see it at 18:04. The 2nd henge developed pretty quickly on the top limb too. It's gonna fail pretty quickly at that point. That's also the reason it has no poundage. Nice try though.
I feel this comment was unnecessary. I mean, he made it very clear it was an experiment.
@@CarlosSanchez-my7zg I feel like your ability of understanding is unnecessary. Because clearly you don’t have one.
@@CarlosSanchez-my7zg they definitely did it much better back in the bronze age. This experiment failed massively and there's actually no point watching it

Truest craftsman. You split your own stave with tools you yourself made, you should feel incredibly proud
Can’t wait for my guy to make a DIY iPhone 11
Given that effective tools and practice with them is an important element in the creation of effective artifacts, it would be interesting to see some archeological evidence for the workflows and tools of ancient craftsmen (perhaps including some interviews with archeologists), and some iterative experimental efforts into refining your primitive tools to make them serve you better.
While it seems likely that ancient people probably kept their EDC reasonably light and portable, I'd also expect that it wouldn't be unusual for craftsmen to put some effort into superior tools, jigs, and other such less-portable infrastructure that would let them more quickly produce high-quality items.

I am loving the new style of content! Your effort is appreciated.
Where's the other bow that she made out of bamboo...????
I watched him put the bow on the "tildering" (?) stick, and it made me think, "Why did no one invent the crossbow sooner?"
Good question! It's because to get enough energy out of it (it's a relatively small bow after all) the bow limbs need to be very stiff, which means it needs to be made of metal. An equivalent power wooden bow would be *massive* and you wouldn't be able to draw it with any efficiency. The firing mechanism also needs to be made of metal to withstand the stress it's put under. TLDR; crossbows need lots of metal and it needs to be in one large piece which means it needs to be cast.
@@Alex-mp8dp Oh. Cool. Thanks for telling me.
Someone has likely said this before, but watching these episodes gives me like a Deja Vou of Mike Rowe and his show Dirty Jobs.
You mean when Mike Rowe made weapons with no iron so that they'd get through airport security...
Except this guy isn't a far-right corpo cock-jockey that openly wants OSHA and labor laws repealed because they "cost businesses money." No Koch family money feeding this channel either it seems. Mike Rowe is a white collar poser that went to an acting school, and is an actor. And is, funnily enough, in a union/guild despite being vocally anti-union.
I honestly call your bow a success, all things given. Especially for a first try and using copper/flint tools as well.
Why not just use a branch instead of a whole trunk?
because it won't take 5 hours to shape and it wont split because the branch has strength because the grain is unbroken
i was thinking the samething
The inside of the trunk is far more resistant to compression than the outside. So you want this part to be the inner side of your bow, you lose less energy to dampening and the bow lasts far longer.
Adam Wolf 237 The heart wood isn't as springy, thousands of years of development says splitting trees for bows is better anyway
Apart from what all the other comments say, you want as much material to start off with as possible (without creating too much work shaping it) to give room for errors you can make or for tillering etc. You can always take more wood away, you can't add it back on the kind of bow he's making and expect a properly functional piece
Adam Wolf 237 splitting doesn't mess up the grain, working the back of the bow does. I've made an elm longbow myself, and while mine was slightly longer, it's closer to 80 pounds and can take a 30" draw. Can't get that with a branch, not nearly as easily anyway
Why is no one talking about how good his gardening skills are! 🤩
I loved this video thank you a lot
Watching you split the log made me wonder at what point a bow maker from neolithic times would have gone "Nope, now it's ruined. Gotta start over." Because you know craftsmen from any era can easily see/hear/smell/feel when you messed up.
Could have tried fire-hardened points as well, would likely have stuck in the target better.
Now that is dedication, man even grew his own bowstring. Love it!
I'm so early I'm still in the stone age
(no comment)
How TF you post this im calling your mom
i didnt expect the bow to look that good. you really out did yourself!
papyrus is also good for fibers and grows everywhere, really easy to get the fibers, i just hit it with a hammer it an anvil or just stomp it though the hammer is faster, if you make the rope with fresh fibers it tightens when it dries also.
Archery tip: hold arrow at both ends and bend slightly, if you hear it crack do not use that arrow. I had a buddy not check and when he reappeared the arrow it split and went right through his hand.
You should try juniper as a bow material. It's what we used to consider the best bows were made of when we were kids.
Shouldn't you've started with an atlatl?
If bows were made 10's of thousands of years ago, how long ago could an atlatl have been made!
I've made one. It was easier than a bow. Yes, I made a bow too.
I think an issue with the arrows was, they weren't very pointy. Probably reasonably sharp, at least the obsidian ones, but the idea is trying to get them to penetrate, not just cut. You'd possibly even end up with something more lethal if you just sharpened the arrow itself and didn't attach a separate tip.
The shirt she’s wearing when she’s wacking the linen ☺️ TØP
This can be read as creepy or normal, I hope it's supposed to be normal
For the draw knife, flint knapping a piece of flint or maybe obsidian into the shape you want then setting it into a piece of wood similarly to how you did with the copper but leaving only as much of your "blade" exposed as you absolutely *need*.
11:00 I can't believe crossbows took so long to be actually used when I saw this
No, Goat foot levers and cranequins existed
Belly bow and Arcuballista for the west, Cast Bronze Crossbows in the east. both are at 700BCE.
the problem is the trigger mechanism needing casting.
If you've over tillered, you could back it with raw hide or sinew. Much less likely to break and better than cranking the string
this is just The Completionist's run of real life lmao
Pssst they used sandstone alot of times to help out with roughing out the bows, ;) old native trick.

Not bad for beginners first bow. More practice and you will be making bows left and right. I'm still a young beginner but from experience, I recommend looking at this video after making more bows, or breaking bows, I've learned more from breaking bows. Cool video.
For reference, a fine selfbow will shoot 150 fps at the standard arrow weight of 10 grains per pound of draw weight.
