My Traditional Bowhunting Setup for ALONE Season 8

By now you might have heard that I was a contestant for the the History Chanel's reality survival show, ALONE Season 8. If you're not familiar with it, ALONE is as real as it gets. Ten participants, with just 10 basic pieces of survival gear, are dropped alone in a remote wilderness to self document their journey as they try to survive as long as possible or until they're the last one standing. In this video I'll be going over my traditional bowhunting setup for ALONE Season 8.

I've been building and hunting with primitive bows and traditional archery gear for over 20 years so when it came time to choose my 10 survival items, a longbow or recurve was at the top of my list. Since I'd depend so heavily on my bow I wanted something simple, reliable, and effective. What I settled on was a semi primitive osage selfbow with reflexed tips, right on the tipping point between a longbow and recurve. The bow I took is 64" overall length and draws around 60#@29". That draw weight is a little heavier than I typically shoot but I wanted to be ready for muskox and moose if the opportunity arose. You'll see a lot of this bow as I carried it everywhere I went, not wanting to miss any opportunity at big game or small.

Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
