Oh

Oh

hey this is missionary survival today we're going to try a natural cordage bow drill stay tuned okay so i have a maple sapling right here just cleared out the area around it i'm just working on exposing some of the roots try to use some of them all right so all around these saplings I've pulled off a couple roots that's what I get this one's really long we'll see how they get on all right so I've got planes and all sorts of machines around me so apologize for that so what I'm gonna do I just have a stick here with my boat already have my notch in here I'm gonna just put thin n defendant of my two pieces of root and I'm gonna tie them to the side and then spend them around each other as I go down the length of my bow all right so I'm going to just make a clove hitch all right there it is alright so here's my route Cordish now I'm going to do is I just hold the end of it

so I can choose how tight it is and how loose it is on the fly of my hand like this so rather than tying it off I'm going to just hold it leave the rest of this connected from now just in case you signed up breaking I have some more to play with so it's about where I'm going to hold it so I'm going to just wrap it around the finger just like that just wrapped around my finger well

see if we can burn the sim
