Slingshot or Slingbow What Should I Take on History's Alone All Stars (87 days Episode 11)

But i have been doing a lot of thinking since i got home form my 87 days Alone in Patagonia with History channels Alone Season 3. When i Go out on Alone All Stars Im Going to need to do better. The slingshot i brought was sufficient and even got me one Bird. But next time I'll be up Against Dave and Allen And they never quit. I need to produce as much food as possible And I can't live without my slingshot ;) I think having a slingbow is part of the answer. But not the whole answer. A few people chose to bring bows on Alone . And yet no one has use that bow to provide for themselves Not for lack of trying. But the opportunities are few and far between. Simpleshot slingshot Company makes a slingshot called the "Hammer". The Hammer is Not your average slingshot. It is a masterpiece of modern technology mixed with the simplest principles Of the slingshot Art. The Hammer has the capability Of being a Slingbow and shooting arrows As well as Working like a regular slingshot. This half slingbow half slingshot Is the and best of both worlds. And As I said before Most of the answer to what kind of slingshot I should bring on History's Alone All-Stars. If only i could take all my favorite slingshots. Of course that's not very fair to say I've never met a slingshot I didn't like.

AND THANKS FOR WATCHING
#Survival #BushCraft #87DaysAlone

[@MinusStatue11]

Growing up, I was always drawn to the sling shot. Especially after playing The Legend of Zelda ocarina of time. I was and still am the weird kid who had an interest for the wilderness, but lived more in a town than anything. Me messing around, finally embracing that call, and watching your videos helped me realize. There's other cool weirdos out there like me lol thank you Zach.

[@StealthyDead]

Fowler: I hate that my arrows always get busted. Also Fowler: Uses arrows to hold up ping pong balls as targets for slingshot.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I'm going to bring a bunch of body grip traps, leg holds, a gun and a bunch of ammo. Sure win!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Yeah I bet that would do it

[@d3athreaper100]

The Wooded Beardsman how many items do you guys get? Is it ten and would bullets count as items?

[@d3athreaper100]

Fowler's Makery and Mischief I think you should take a sling shot you could easily make your own whisker biscuit out of a green bendable branch and grass But start trying to make one now it's a new skill that would be good to learn

[@d3athreaper100]

Fowler's Makery and Mischief by the way check out Jorgesprave he has a channel dedicated to slingshots In advance I suggest thera band black it can take down deer :)

[@mikejackson2228]

I was coming here to make the same suggestion. I feel sure he would love making the perfect slingbow.

[@edwardcnnell2853]

Bring 6 broad head arrows as their use requires that type of arrowhead and longer range accuracy. The fishing arrows are for only a few feet away and make these, and their arrowheads, from materials you find in the field. Paint your arrows in colors that make them stand out and are easier to find when you miss your target.

[@minty5259]

Can’t wait to see you go on alone all stars. Will be rooting for you! Stay safe and God bless!

[@timpearson2555]

Livin for the outdoors. Its cool you found your thing so early in life! I can’t wait to see if this all stars thing happens!

[@philinthephilippines]

Dave Canterbury has a video series where he makes a DIY slingshot/slingbow combo...I duplicated his design and love it!

[@ReelCoast79]

Slingbow, hands down are amazingly accurate, take up less space through brush, pack and can even carried in your pocket while you’re doing other tasks. Great job in all you’ve done ✅

[@carljansen3118]

The arrows are your art mate, no wonder you feel weird shooting them! Precious, they are! You've got me into the slingshot, it's on my shopping list! Wanted to use one since i was a kid growing up watching ol' Bart [Simpson]! Keep kickin assh dude! :D

[@IslandHermit]

Another good thing about a decent sized shelter is that you can store enough materials in it to be able to work inside when the weather is bad, making cordage, matting, tinder, etc.

[@lanceburkholder6129]

What a weekend we had at the East Coast Slingshot Tournament in beautiful Alverton, Pa hosted by East Huntingdon Sportsmens Association! So glad I got to meet you and Chris. Looking forward to next year's tourney.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Great to see your enthusiasm and your range of skills! Plenty of us will be 'pulling for you' in the 'All-Stars' season, when that happens! For now, nothing could beat your re-cap of the 87 days. THAT is an inspired idea: all the substance and none of the 'Hollywood Drama' the 'straight' TV guys want to sell us.

[@Val_Halla777]

Here’s an idea; build a “compound slingshot”. 7x regular velocity.

[@ericpelky1246]

Love all the stuff he comes up with. Shelters are always cool too. Nice thing about the slingshot is that its compact and dosent weigh much to hike with.

[@LargeJarv]

Replace the arrow nock with a golf tee and some epoxy. Works great!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

So I've been told I think I'm in a try that the summerI Haven't been practicingWith it of lateBut got some new tubes to make a better band set for it

[@jackwagner7275]

I got the Woodobo and it is great, I put it on just about everything. I haven’t tried it in my coffee yet. After watching you with your slingshot, I got one from you. I’m a beginner, never shot one before. It is NOT as easy as you show! I am going to have to practice a lot! Love your show, keep em’ coming.

[@leonardcavaretta905]

Awesome idea! Best of both. Don't forget that if you shoot fish with an arrow and a string attached, that you tie the string to the nock end. Otherwise the arrow will cartwheel.

[@cmcclellan9721]

I myself, bought the Pathfinder Slingbow setup with the heavy-duty bands also and let me tell you, it is awesome. With the heavy duty bands installed, I can utilize a (approximately) 50 lb pull, 30 inch arrows and it works great!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

C McClellan cool

[@13prevailbushcraft]

Great vid, Gonna enjoy seeing you back on the show...

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

13prevail Bushcraft thanks

[@offroader9488]

when will he go?

[@MrPatrick7777]

I may be too late, Fowler... but you can drill out the nocks and glue in a golf tee... plenty of grip through a fine leather pouch. Good luck!

[@bushcraftbaxter]

Man, I'm so excited and nervous to see that new season! Nervous cuz I know the people going out there KNOW what they're doing and how to last longer. And I feel like they might not pay attention to their bodies as much as they should. But excited cuz a bunch of people from past seasons will be in the same season! 😬

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Bushcraft Baxter you think your nervous how do ya think i feel ;) i want them to do good just not 87 days good :)

[@randallflagg3464]

Bushcraft Baxter It's not even confirmed that there doing an all star's season there's only been five winners from four seasons so unless they plan to include runners up in the cast it's going to be a while before it happens!

[@bushcraftbaxter]

Randall Flagg that's exactly what they're doing. All stars and I think any runner ups that want to do it.

[@hoobiechop]

I can confirm its previous contestants but not necessarily all stars. Don't ask me how I know ;)

[@c.e.f4916]

i know its been 4 months and that they have actually announced it, bu how didya know?

[@michaalloy8862]

Man i love this channel THE BEST

[@michaelkessler4773]

Sir I love you channel. I have shot a sling bow before it had a name. To shoot an arrow out of a sling shot glue an gold tee in a carbon arrow it centers very well and a whisker biscuit can be used on a wrist rocket and it shoots very well and if you need to shoot a rock just pull the whisker biscuit out of the way. I am sure it has enough power to take deer size pray. Maybe bigger. Good luck.

[@mattryan6886]

Didn’t know these existed, so cool. I definitely want one now.

[@chasetheninjasniper]

If you want a hack, take the nock off existing arrows and glue a golf tee into the end of them. Works really well inside a pouch

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

daniel george awesome ill give it a try

[@taylorchinn]

You can do a rubber wrap or a cordage wrap glued on right in front of the nock, that will allow you to shoot the arrows from the pouch, without losing the ability to be fired from a bow.

[@armandogonzales9304]

It was your day 76. You had NO food except for dried out greens you collected early. You boiled it in water and when you drank it, you made mention it tasted like "Carrots" , then you started crying! Its alright Fowler, you are gonna make it!!

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

The best idea iv seen for a arrow for SS pouch use is.When using the store bought arrows, remove the nock and epoxy a golfball tee into the hole. This lets you pinch the tee just the same as ball ammo and you dont have to alter your release nor your cheek point . You could heat and soften the arrow nock and mushroom it out as well but the tee is more consistent and cheap to boot . They even come in Neon green and pink plus lend to glow paint too.

[@beissbarthboy]

good luck, make sure you practice shooting into water to compensate for refraction.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Thank you I will

[@ktrain420247]

Typically 3 to 6 inches low will do. Good luck and a small tin can and screw will work as a spool. The screw will hold it to the shooting device and the end of the fishing line. Good luck brother.

[@robertevras6577]

Dude! Every time you verbalize the title of this series I laugh out loud.....:) makes me smile. It’s the longest run on sentence ever! Lol!

[@brutallindigo]

Great vid wondering if you take your slingshot but make an atlatl when your there. IT's a bit of a learning curve but kind of the best of both worlds and better than nothing.

[@007cheburashka]

Man your videography skills have gotten amazing.. for that reason “alone” they need to put you back on the show! 😉

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

M Moore thanks

[@ericpelky1246]

Yeah I never watched Alone yet. I didnt know Zach won Alone for a while. Im a fairly new subscriber.

[@patrickgermond2750]

And Zac, you really are great at what you. And it's great watching you. I don't want you to think my comments below were based in criticism so much as tips to a friend. Have a great week:)

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Patrick Germond no worries

[@rickdd606]

Excellent videos. May I suggest you investigate Bill Hayes, superior slingshots, and some innovative simple accessories. He has some good ideas to shoot arrows. Good luck on your next adventure.

[@stevedarnell8444]

You can get rubber tubing in the plumbing department at you local hardware store. It cheaper than the ones made for slingshots.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

interesting never tried it but you get what you pay the more expensive the better the strech usually wich make it stronger and faster

[@juanotero4821]

I’m a mechanic and I don’t like to see that symbol any how I like youre shirt 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Thanks for watching!

[@markhuskey6757]

Yep. So awesome. 6 custom arrows; $50 70 3/8 steel ammo at Walmart; 4.48 No muss no fuss, no mess no stress. Slingshots are Zen.

[@reid3175]

You should write a book about all the survival and homesteading knowledge you have, I know I would buy that

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Bison 680 thats the plan just havent started yet i keep putimg starting of

[@jeremecrane7924]

Take the Slingshot/Arrow Shooter you tested in this video that thing was totally awesome! Can’t wait to see you on the All Star Season of Alone if you go on it Mr Fowler!!!!!

[@buxtonwild3122]

Mate I just realised you are the one that made the duck raft etc , I loved you on that show . All the best from England

[@BudgetGunsandGearReviews]

As a creator, that PiP trick with the mirror alone was worth watching and subbing your channel. That's something I'm gonna shamelessly steal.

[@gym_bob]

You can also build a wood raft to get out in the deeper water and catch the bigger fish. Just a suggestion. :)

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Bob Perry sounds like a plan

[@xxtotallyrandombrandonxx3093]

I know it’s very late but to shoot arrows out of my sling shot I glue then sinew in a golf tee into the opening of a cane or aluminum arrow... you could possibly drill the back of your sprus to accept the golf tee it works very well and I hope to see you give it a try!

[@WinStunSmith]

Holy crap! I’ve just noticed the tat on your right forearm. I’ve got a Celtic cross on my left forearm in the exact same location! You’ve got style bro.!

[@MrBilld75]

Golf tees in the back of the arrows. That's what someone said in a comment on another video I saw about these sling bows. So, very much like what you drew there really and yes, you can just shoot it from the same pocket, no changing anything. He said they are very accurate and it doesn't affect the arrows negatively at all.

[@toocleanpappas5397]

Looks good. If I can make one suggestion, don't grip the handle. Open your fingers and just let the handle push between your thumb and forefinger. When you grip a bow it causes you to shake. Opening up your fingers will stop some of the sway. Your aim looks good, but it might help make it even better. If you watch the Olympic archers you'll see the bow drop after they take a shot, that is why. Good luck!

[@Corcii1]

i bought the swisstool spirit x a couple of days ago and have been edc-ing it and i love it

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Corkey cool i always cary mine in the woods but.

[@jamesaritchie1]

A home would make it easier. I spent three weeks shy of a year in the wilderness with twelve pound of gear, plus what was on my belt and in my pockets, and all I had for cover was a pair of G.I. ponchos. I couldn't build any type of real shelter because I was traveling almost constantly between four states, but I sure missed having something like that more than once. Fortunately, I didn't have to hit anything with a slingshot because I did have a rifle. Next time I did anything like that I built a small cabin, about fifteen by twelve, with a fireplace, immediately. I didn't get back to it as often as I wished, but when I was able to get back, it felt like a mansion. I added a second room later, and then it really felt huge. My experience is that the best way to stay anywhere for a long, long time is to love every second you're there. Anything that helps you love it is a big plus. Just me, but I'll take a bow, and you can have the slingshots and sling bows.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Waw that sounds like quite the adventure !!

[@David-kd5mf]

Alone All Stars !!! Excited

[@MchaelTeeter]

I have seen some sling shots like yours with a whisker biscuit attached for arrows. When I got sick I couldn't pull my bows back so I made a wrist rocket shoot arrows. I used a key chain ring and two rubber bands.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Awesome

[@joulesjools3211]

i cant wait to watch that you're a remarkable person zach i love your channel

[@NomadicWoodsman]

I think the slingshot idea is awesome with the arrows man. Awesome set up. Hopefully there's some grouse or rabbits or something to shoot at. If not, well like you said fish are shootable. If you spot some pike laying in the sun or other types of fish you can get them. Cheers.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Nomadic Woodsman or just some big catfish to noodil ;)

[@peterbeefchicken5237]

Dude..... dude..... Listen to me.... Please. A slingshot is not what you need to get food and win. Really not trust me. You can get something much smaller that doesn't weight much and it'll get ya all the food you need. It's called an Amazon's account. I know.... I know... You're going to say that you need something to be able to go on the net and cel phones, laptops, etc are not allowed. But remember one thing... That famous jacket you hacked and they allowed it. So do the same again... An Amazon account and an embedded cel phone in a jacket. BTW, I'll take 15% of your winnings as consultant fees. Thanks :)

[@jenniferstrickland7390]

I'm a proud owner of the hammer slingshot- part of my EDC, cannot go wrong with it.

[@timjw5704]

Hi, your videos are great, entertaining and full of nuggets. The T-shirt is awsome!

[@gregcampbell622]

A canoe is a MUST BUILD on the next season, dugout or bark doesn’t matter just as long as it works. Just sit on it...

[@darci12u]

thanks,it would be extremely exciting. ........hope they have a Allstar .

[@jenniferaustin8623]

I like to use foam board, packing tape across the Whole back, and drawn on targets. Usually helps me collect my ammo and recycle the good ones. (I use marbles most the time... they sometimes chip/shatter. Still they’re cheaper to learn with)

[@rickc3020]

Orange Viking Maineiac, great video. Nice to see the flyover of the old homestead too. Hey are there talks of an "Allstar Alone?" I like the idea of the sling bow but what actually has been successful in obtaining food on any of the shows? Seems like gathering, fishing and traps are the way to go so far. But I sit on my couch watching the program. Your thoughts?

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Rick C ya fishing for the win but maybe we get lucky and there is somthing elce to eat. might be my lucky day everyone elve leaves there bows at home and i get to be the first on to take down big game ;)

[@SirCumferencelel]

Complains about breaking and losing arrows, proceeds to use arrows as target stands. Dude, you make me chuckle sometimes. XD

[@BigCrazyOutdoorAdventures]

I have enjoyed slingshots but these take it to a new level. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Big Crazy Outdoor Adventures cool thanks for watching

[@jtr6554]

Growing up in WY 40 yrs ago we shot arrows out of wrist rocket sling shots and got pretty accurate with them as well.

[@SalineScott]

I hope you do great on the show. Be careful what you show... your competitors might be watching. I’d try to take both. That looks cool shooting an arrow with the slingshot.

[@thomasolson7447]

Oh, look at that. A way to smuggle ball bearrings onto Alone without it causing you much problems. Also, the arrow tip could be used as a drill. If you can get a two in one, that would be awesome.

[@rodporterfield]

Pull the nock out of the (carbon) arrow and insert a wooden golf tee. You can grip the golf tee in a slingshot pouch really well!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Ya sounds good ill have to give that a try

[@michaalloy8862]

Love your channel

[@awesomecwe577]

What if you took the arch things that hold the rubber “bands” and you permenatly bind it to the handle and take the removable part and put that onto the arrow holder and you can have a normal sling but you can attach and detach the arrow holder👍🏻! Just a sugestion

[@PastorPeewee20]

Watching every episode! Nonstop

[@gud2go50]

I love my bows, but your right about sling shots.

[@joeellis4013]

chief a sling bow has serving for a arrow in a pouch. I love mine

[@jasonstigerwalt8589]

Hail the chief . Has it all . Not to mention chief Aj is a bad ass. That guy holds tons of records.

[@susiecates2804]

Awesome watching videos with you

[@germanwoodlore256]

Love all your vids and your honesty

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Max OD thanks

[@Polymath9000]

What is your poundage on the slingbow ?For your arrows.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

about 38 lbs

[@danasnyder2280]

Pocket shoot has caps that go on the end of your arrows to use if you don't want to knock the arrows. Give them a look.

[@mattferrilli6699]

For ur pouch run a piece of paracord through the holes in the pouch to seat the arrow and if u make the para cord long enough u can move it out the way to shoot ammo I do the same thing but I have a whisker biscuit on my black widow slingshot that I modified so I can just take it off with a single finger screw

[@kyliemcwynne]

You could probably add some daub to the wattle you have on your hut, although I am unaware of the clay content of most soil in Maine....still would be a good idea if you want the best flame and wind resistance (medieval peasant all the way)

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Kyle Wynne there is some good mud down in my pond and once th walls drie out for a season i may just do that if not everywhere at least behind my fire place

[@Mean-Gene]

Id love to see all stars. Something to day dream about while reenacting 87days for now. You should do a naked and afraid setup. What would you take as your item?

[@adamdarby43]

Chef AJ Slingbow might be a option. Don't know much about slingshots but seems like it would work.

[@raymondbailey1970]

Hi Zach i use golfing tee for my arrows they cool for the pouch.

[@FlippyHambone]

That's a funny shirt!

[@TexasUrbanHunter]

the shovel throw was cool man, who needs a slingshot haha

[@ronniecockburn3761]

Love yer shirt lol🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@scottrock8216]

If you take the knock off an aluminum arrow you can glue a golf tee in the end and will work in the pouch

[@rampantcolt1684]

.44 caliber balls (.454), designed for black powder revolvers, will dramatically increase the power of your slingshot and give you the ability to take humanely harvest larger variations of small game, varmints, etc.

[@kevinescherle]

Awesome videos! Very sympathetic dude. Keep up the good content

[@jamesmueller2843]

Very good video I love it so much

[@backwoods_barbarian4134]

Have you thought of leaving your gear out to remove some of the human scent or using something to mask the scent before you heard back out on alone again? Would this help prevent animals from getting the drop on you?

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

you will just smell like fire smoke before to long any way. fishing for the win and if your lucky and there is actualy game to hunt well then you do your best

[@danbasham9207]

As a kid I launched arrows out of my wrist rocket with reasonable accuracy. No modificatios at all. I never actually harvested an animal but I terrorized the straw bales daily.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Dan Basham ya the wisper bisket is prity nice thow

[@Royalltop1]

Chief AJ sling bows have a pouch and arrow rest that folds down. Check them out. And are legal for big game. 50# draw weight. And will sling a rock.

[@garvincentcia5873]

Hay there, have you tryed cuting two cut in pouch to asept the notch if a arrow ? And still able to use the pouch for rocks.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Hmm ill have to look into that. A lot have peoople have said switch out the nock for a golf tea

[@leodanryan966]

Dave Canterbury of Dual Survival fame already created the sling bow with a built-in pouch, and a flip up whisker biscuit which doubles as a sight. I think his channel is wilderness outfitters, or wilderness outdoors. Something like that. Check it out.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Leo Ryan coom will do

[@DjGlenJon]

greetings from the uk west yorkshire catapults. cool videos dude just subbed ad watching as many as i can whilst......sat here working making "catapults" light bands gives better consistency try using 9.5mm steel ammo rocks tend to swerve all the best

[@williammonahan4981]

Take the knock out the back of the arrow and epoxy a golf tee in the back to create something to hold onto in the pouch.

[@andylongmore6697]

I used to go with my grandad an family friend mooching (poaching) with slingshots. A tree fork catty an elastic bands in chains in late 70s, only recently learned that Mexican shooters used same rig. I come up with my dart rig abt 12 yrs ago, in the field very effective on small game an birds, even used wooded fire harden tip wood darts to good effect.... anyway in last few years seems loads peeps have either used my style darts or similar version. Recently seen Pana style darts used for fishing, so I would have thought how abt a catty modified to be used for round ammo, darts an arrow? Easy enough to quick switch between all aspects of ammo with right rig! Easy peasy an you have small game an fish covered but only need on adapted shooter sir

[@briargoatkilla]

Hell if I could shoot sling shot like that I certainly wouldn't mess around with a bow.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

briargoatkilla thanks

[@cheapshotfishing9239]

You actually wanna do the same thing with your hammer that I wanna do with mine. I want to attach a fishing reel to the bottom, tough finding a weaver mounted fishing reel though

[@onestooge]

Can you show your manual picture in picture camera set up in more detail?

[@sgtw4902]

I need that shirt, that's awesome bud.

[@jaredtaylor8644]

I know it has been awhile and I haven’t read any of the comments to know if you have been asked this already but have you ever tried “The Pocket Shot” or “The Pocket HAMMER”? They also have an associated fishing reel (“Synergy TI 20 Bow Fishing Reel) and Flashlight (“HiLight Rail”). I am wondering what your thoughts on these are and how they compare to the slingshots/slingbows in this video.

[@fhorst41]

If you want to shoot fish, there are very simple and practical types of spear guns that use rubber bands. I was hoping you were going to make one in Patagonia on your last adventure, since you had enough bands to do so. I'm fairly certain you could even build one in a way that preserves your bands in case you need to swap them back to the slingshot or utilize them in other ways. Anything you can build there is one more item you can take with you...

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Franklin Horst ya i thought about it but there really wasent a to may chances to use it

[@stoneyrunva]

Zach, you can make one item that is both a slingshot and a slingbow. I posted a pic of the one I made over on the wilderness survival forum thread you started. Good luck.

[@mikesarky1091]

Hey Mainer, I know exactly what you mean about the arrows, between losing some and breaking others, it is frustrating. I spent a lot of time hunting grouse with a slingshot in the Rangeley Lakes region.
