Does a rawhide bowstring last? What kind of hide can you use? Can you only use the hide from large game or can you use rabbit hide? Thanks for your video.
Very nice id love to make a bow like this i know the vid is about the string but i saw your othes on the bow itself.. only thing is theres really no nature near me anywhere to be able to do this
Hey man. This works better if you use linseed or some other natural oil to lube the line after it's dried. This gives it better flex and helps the string retain its strength over time. Prevents it from dry rotting etc. You have to boil the oil, or animal fat, and soak the sinew braid in it while it's hot, do not boil the line, juat soak it after the liquid is boiled. Then leave your string out under light tension to cure. Make sure to wipe off excess lube after it's cured for a full dry day out of rain. ADD ON: NO PETROLEUM OILS OR HARSH OILS! I MADE A MISTAKE ITS NOT LINSEED ITS RAW NUT OILS, BOILED BARK OILS, OR CRUSHED PINE OIL. Sorry for the mistake, iv since talked with him and got some specifics see my reply to this.

Disappointed that you showed us the last steps of making a bowstring instead of the actual process of turning the rawhide you used into a cord.
Woww awesome, good job 😲👍🏻🫡
Question where do you buy your flannel shirts, it looks like a good one and I have a hard time finding stuff I like.
Awesome job! God bless you for making these videos.

Now can you show how to make rawhide
Cordage is a naval term for small rope used to secure things on a SHIP! YOUNARE NOT ON A FUCKING SHIP! STOP DAYING FUCKING CORDAGE!
Stretching it with the weight is to reduce the natural stretchiness, which in the last vid you said was bad, correct?
I'd love to know what the draw weight is! You should measure it! It would help with comparing them.
this is so cool. love to see the preseebation of generational knowledge in action
The 3 would be better for a crossbow i think
Whats is the wood of the bow made of?
When using that type of cordage. Always stretch it before stringing
Flemish twist.
Can you make a video how to make a bow
Now I just need some strands of rawhide…
So it’s just animal hide?
Just use sinew and be done with it.

My man giving more knowledge then an entire college carrier. Legit. College is now a scam with how powerful YT is.

How is it going, Seth
What’s up it’s Matthew
You should make a bow with every of your survival knowledge would by for sure
Wait, did you just use a Timber hitch to secure a bow string?
