use a rope to find a halfway mark let's run this your marrows man a midpoint my I was going to shoot off of my handle where I'm going to start my carbon here and here my belly this angle is the same all the way down on the bow all the way to the other side I've been carving the handle you can see get some nice flex out of it now or what now this is two ways right sin it will make it more narrow go for more narrow now started getting quite thin start tapering it should get some flux out of it we'll see yep I can feel it now absolutely there it is you can feel like those springiness

good enough

I like to use bank line I just do for pie

so I miss cutting the strands so they're by themselves just going the length of the bow just giving myself a couple inches after so I'm going to twist this a little bit I'm going to put a bow line in it

this will be a four strand bowline okay I'll get the job done so I'm going to put that on the bottom win putting my string on for the first time around my Knock just going to wrap it around and go underneath you know I'm just just wrapping it around basically so it's going to hold its Center I have enough here to hold on to and a good firm grip and the let it relax okay go wrap around the knock a few times put a couple half hitches what's most survival by the bald and doing it that night right all right that's on that tight let's see what we got

oh man would you look at that brace Heights are already money needs to bend more here so take some turtle off huh

uh-huh sings powerful I can't even make a pull drop stirring a soul center no man but that's 70 pull oh he's gonna shoot crazy good off to do that tomorrow so next day get some sunlight let's shoot it fun to shoot

he's got some speed all right here's the tiller very powerful girl it's all I did to make my strength permanent was make a smaller bowline so fits in the nock a little better I cut off the tag in that's it

so now my string is on my bow at all times ready to be slid up into the nock like so

done so all in all it took me six hours to complete the survival bow using just my knife it's strong enough to hunt any animal on my continent of North America and so come along for the ride see you the next one take care
