Firewood Slingshot...Bowling! #36

[@ScottyT47]

Spending 24 minutes watching a random dude in the woods making a slingshot boiling alley? Hell yeah!

[@phillipg7315]

LOL welcome to Ringworm 👍

[@survivingringworm2202]

Welcome to Ringworm, indeed. Where nothing quite makes sense, but it is nearly always a good time.

[@lynbarnel]

Dude! You are so much fun to watch. Always be YOU!

[@dennishayslip4605]

sumbody dun gone cray cray in the forest! Lol. Enjoyed this for some reason.

[@sdk8555]

You are showing the rest of us that anything is possible with a set of Ryobi tools.Good on you mate!

[@clintonroushff7068]

At first I thought you were building a Kubb game.....then you had to take it to another level. GREAT!

[@haydnjenkins7607]

One word Trebuchet, I can see you building a Trebuchet. You've got plenty of wood.

[@survivingringworm2202]

Ooooh. Man. I'd have to think on that one. Would be some real engineering involved. Not sure my brain has what it takes.

Go,Go Gadget!! Next 1 person helicopter. Enjoy Ryan.

NOW we are using our imaginations! I do have the working motor from a used up chainsaw that I am trying to find a use for...

[@nojnoj3069]

...you have way too much fun.....I think we should carve up some more ammo... always awesome!

I was waiting to see if you'd hit your tent. Looks like lots of fun. All you need now is a rollercoaster ride.

I have learned alot from the video I don't know how to build things but I love to try.

Awesome fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@holmenadventurecamp]

he again, oddly satisfying. You kind of get A, glimt into how sports started. Best of luck, Ringworm.

Do you expect a pro circuit in the next 5 or 10 years? Olympic sport?

We used to slingshot water baloons sitting up in the dunes in Michigan at all the swimmers down below. Lol

This is just good clean fun. I love it. looks like something I'd do.

Keeps me off the streets and out of the pool halls.

Good Morning to ya!

[@lyndleshelby6291]

I guffawed at the standing at the woodpile with a chainsaw stating, "Clearly, we're going to need some ammunition here." 😂😂😂

[@debb9008]

this was a very fun video... thanks... I love watching all your videos though ... Thanks for making them

[@TheTed169]

I will be definitely making that thing at the cabin. Only thing it needs is cold beer, booyaa!

[@survivingringworm2202]

Best thing I could think to do with those bands that would thumb my nose at "real" exercise.

[@Ludifant]

Once we have aquired the bare necessities it is our utmost responsibility to learn how to enjoy ourselves, in order to prevent us destroying the world in the blind pursuit of a false sense of security.

A Sling Shot Bowling Ally! That made me laugh out loud to hear that!

Ya, I see sasquatch getting a black eye for sure now. Good job !

He (or even she) is going home hobbled!

[@michaeldemaranville7645]

@@survivingringworm2202 They generally run in threes, so you best make two more slings facing other directions !

[@nitcat1]

Not that I would ever condone such behavior, but in college I recall people launching water balloons with a slingshot made from surgical tubing. Juvenile amusement!

[@survivingringworm2202]

Horribly juvenile! I hope you got a firm talking to for such shenanigans.

[@nitcat1]

@@survivingringworm2202 it was fascinating to see someone get whacked with a water balloon 200 feet away and they didn’t see anyone nearby who perpetrated the attack

[@dragonbomb64]

Think about your crossbow. The string never goes slack making full use of the entire power stock. So less slack (wider spread between the trees) will make a massive distance. Also the sling will not interfere with the projectile as it passes between the trees.

[@valeriemckay7064]

Always a good idea to read the comments!

[@luella2u152]

Absolutely LOVE it!!!

[@bubblehed738]

When the camera fell you missed the perfect opportunity to do the Chris Tucker line from Fridays, "You got knocked the f**k out". LMFAO.

[@survivingringworm2202]

So right! Man, I used to love that movie. Could probably still quote the whole thing.

[@gailembleton662]

Good stuff.. a good way to have fun..👏

[@valeriemckay7064]

Oh my gosh, I think I have the stuff I need to do this! My old exercise bands plus some I inherited from my folks, good thing I hang onto stuff ... in case I need it! hahahaha

[@lindapetersen1800]

YES YES YES RYAN DID IT THE WORM SHOT THE LAST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Downeastwaves]

Zach Fowler (Season Three Alone winner) would like your giant slingshot! He does a trick shot Tuesday where you send in your trick shot and he features it. You got this! Fowler's Makery and Mischief is his channel.

[@luella2u152]

I think you should do this, Ryan. Maybe Zach would even come visit you. I think you two could get into some major mischief. lol

[@Downeastwaves]

@@luella2u152 totally agree!!

[@Downeastwaves]

@@luella2u152 would certainly up his subs

[@survivingringworm2202]

Maybe I should get one of you to suggest it to him! Always sounds better coming from a person that isn't trying to get something out of it.

[@Downeastwaves]

@@survivingringworm2202 oh I sent him a note right after I suggested it to you. If he doesn't see it in another day or so I will send it to Chris. Lucky me and hubby they made us each slingshots. Fowler did the wood part and Chris cut the bands out of an old blue exercise band if mine. They still work!

[@rodmeisterful]

Perhaps you’ve heard about the new remote online therapy services available nowadays? You are definitely having WAY too much fun. It’s not normal and it’s making people nervous!

[@luella2u152]

More like jealous. lol

[@survivingringworm2202]

If you aren't making other people visibly nervous, how could you know if you are doing it correctly?

[@sdbigguy]

As usual, another great video. At first I thought you would be better off with a projectile that was as close to round as possible but then you ended up with the perfect shape. Am I the only one that thinks that is the same shape as a beer can. I can she you with the group of guys in the wood and someone yells. Throw me another beer. My only suggestion is to paint the ‘balls” a nice bright color so you can collect your ammo easier after each round. Maybe cut some big cookies and put them out as targets in case you get to blood at bowling. Thanks for sharing and now I’ve got a use for those bands the physical therapist gave me.

[@survivingringworm2202]

Let's all take some time and show our physical therapists how to use these things properly. Clearly, they haven't been properly trained! Ammo and pins have been painted!

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Cross bow next, out of some old leaf springs from a car.. super sized of course 😂

Fun.

Omg Man , I started watching and couldnt stop laughing. Only you could come up with that. You are such a genius with a chainsaw is there anything you couldnt build at any point of your life? Love the content!

[@survivingringworm2202]

Even I couldn't stop laughing! The stupider I find the idea, the more fun it is to make.

THE SASQUAI ARE COMING!

[@BartzAJohnsonJr]

Do you want an arms race? Because this is how an arms race begins.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

This makes perfect sense. I look forward to the day you winch back the slingshot for maximum distance test. Perhaps adorn yourself with all the safety gear first, ha ha

[@survivingringworm2202]

I'm totally onboard with this idea. Soon as I get a big enough pile of exercise bands, I'm on it!

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

@@survivingringworm2202 Outstanding. P.S. signed up to Patreon, I know it's not much, but I hope it helps keep the dream alive!

[@user-dw4cv3xq5u]

Watching Ryan figure out physics is pretty funny. Get rid of the looped bands, they’re eating all of your kinetic energy.

[@survivingringworm2202]

Really? Looped bands are no good? Why? I just finished a book by Neil deGrasse Tyson and am currently reading one by Stephen Hawking so lay the physics on me!

[@user-dw4cv3xq5u]

@@survivingringworm2202 the loops between the tree and the bands are eating your energy. Not saying it’s wrong per se, just that it could be more efficient. As simply put as possible due to limited characters, the elastic energy is being lost upon release because of those smaller secondary loops. You want as direct as possible. Having the main band (the one containing the projectile) as a fixed point to the tree is the most efficient, anything else is allowing unnecessary energy loss. If the smaller loops hold more energy due to their resistance, you’re losing resistance in your main band.

[@johnhighstreet5199]

That was far more entertaining than I thought it would be. A little nervous about some of the camera angles...

[@survivingringworm2202]

There were definitely some close calls. Especially because some of those shots were from a drone hovering over the target!

[@scorpiofl1]

You should start the ringworm amusement park. I agree about Fowler, he is great. Check out Modern self reliance. He plays with wood just like you.

[@Downeastwaves]

Both excellent!

[@lindapetersen1800]

[@Makete100]

Around 500 BC in Syria, a machine throwing arrows or stone balls steeply through rigid arms was invented, the ends of which were stuck in elastic horsehair ropes. The Phoenicians invented a similar weapon but firing flat-track missiles. Both of these constructions were developed by the ancient Greeks, who called them - , as well as Macedonians, where catapults throwing large metal arrowheads weighing up to 78 kilograms and two meters in length and catapults throwing stones weighing about 26 kilograms were especially popular. They were used to destroy the battlement and wall fragments, and to destroy the enemy’s siege machines. A machine throwing missles up a steep track was later called the by the Greeks, and after the Romans took it over, it received the name of a .

[@B-leafer]

"I th$nk something's gonna blowout... Let's try it" Watch out Mr. Sasquatch.. PS: Suggestion... Carve small wings for your ammo and make the ends pointy like a 9mm.

[@luella2u152]

Ooh, I like the ammo idea. Bet they'd fly farther and straighter.

[@survivingringworm2202]

That's a great idea!

[@smeltingmongoose]

What about making a mobile smoke screen for the fire so you can shoot wherever you are, uninterrupted?

[@rudyfisher7660]

Just remember they won't understand the UV light

[@bsekisser]

Yeah, stuff like that might not even last a full year outside... If even that long.

[@SL_Smith]

What if you were to braid the bands together. A giant bungee cord. You truly define "fun" in the wilderness. 🤣

[@B-leafer]

Q? If you use more exercise bands, Do you get more exercise?

[@survivingringworm2202]

I felt pretty worked and buff by the end but I can't say for sure what I would have felt like if I'd have used fewer bands.

[@B-leafer]

Q? If a bowling pin falls in the woods, does it make noise?

[@FritchFritch]

It’s definitely time to invest in some discount fruit.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck

[@survivingringworm2202]

You mean, if he had a giant slingshot?

[@shakdidagalimal]

Like uh... the camera angle for the launch is ultra sucko because it blocks the projectile track with the tree... On the other hand I guess youtube didn't ban it "for violence". As soon as I typed that and started it playing again he repositioned the camera. Learning curve is adequate.

[@fredcarter7003]

Maybe build a catapult
