This really informative video by Primitive Pathways is the first in a series of four that will set you up to make your very own primitive bow, starting with how to choose the right wood and begin to shape it. The presenter, Billy, gives such a detailed, clear presentation and his enthusiasm is contagious – watching him you feel like you’re learning something you’ve always wanted to know!

I can remember making a basic bow from a branch and string when I was a kid – it was a lot of fun but more often than not my efforts resulted in something that didn’t last very long. If you follow the lessons in this video you’re sure to end up with a bow to be proud of and that could last many years. Archery is a great skill to learn, it will teach you patience and could prove very useful if you end up in a survival situation.

The bow is made from a piece of wood that combines heartwood on the inside and sapwood on the outside – the reason for this is simple if you consider how a tree moves with the forces of a strong wind. The heartwood can withstand compression and the sapwood is good at taking a force of extension.

The earliest archery artefacts date back around 10,000 years in Europe and bows can be seen in rock paintings from around 50,000 years in North America so it’s not surprising that many of us feel that making a bow is such a natural thing to do – we’re simply picking up where our ancestors left off!

In medieval times, before guns were in use, the longbow was the weapon of choice for its speed, accuracy and power – in England and Wales many men were trained in its use as they grew up during this time. At its height, the longbow was a truly fearsome weapon. It’s terrifying to imagine what it must have been like facing the “storm” of arrows shot by thousands of archers, with the average archer able to shoot an arrow every ten seconds. Not many people know that the cutting of yew trees for longbows in the late medieval period was so extensive that most of the yew forests of Northern Europe were virtually stripped entirely of yew trees – it was an environmental disaster that has been forgotten.

Although it is remembered mostly for its effectiveness in battle, the longbow was also used for hunting and many tribal peoples still use bows to hunt because they are light to carry and quick to use. Making a good quality bow, like this video shows, is very different from putting together a makeshift one in a real survival setting but learning to work with natural materials in any way can give you great satisfaction – the manual skills you practice will stay with you and be useful for all kinds of other things too!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
