In this video we build a blow gun and darts for less than $10! Step by step instructions and materials needed down below! Blowgun Materials needed: 2 3 foot sections of ½ inch, threaded PVC pipe 1 ½ inch threaded connector 1 ½ inch T joint 2 ½ inch plugs Steps: 1) Screw the T joint into the end of the first length of pipe 2) Attach the connector into the other end 3) Insert the 2 plugs into the sides of the T joint 4) Cut second length of pipe in half (make sure to not leave behind any of the plastic shavings after the cut. Sand the area down and rinse off) 5) Drill a hole in the top of the T joint to serve as a mouthpiece. (use a file and sandpaper to clean off the shavings) 6) Take second length of pipe that was already cut and attach to the connector Darts Materials needed: Some sort of thin metal rod. Options include: Bike wheels spokes, umbrella spokes, or insulation support wires. In the video we used the insulation support wires. Pillow stuffing or alpaca fur. Something fluffy that will hold together well. We used pillow stuffing in the video. Super glue Thread Steps: 1) Cut the metal rods to desired length 2) Sharpen one end of the darts by hammering it flat and then using a metal file to fine tune the edge. 3) Apply a small amount of super glue about 2 inches from the back of the dart 4) Run the back of the dart through the stuffing to the point where the glue is. Make sure the stuffing makes good contact with the glue and is well adhered to the metal. 5) Work towards the back of the dart adding more glue and adhering more stuffing until you reach the end. 6) Take the thread and wrap it around the base of the stuffing many times by spinning the dart in your fingers. After the thread is well and secure, run a single thread up and around the length of the fletching. When this single thread reaches the end of the fletching use a small drop of super glue to secure the thread in place and then cut. 7) Coat the spool of thread at the base of the fletching with a healthy amount of super glue. When this dries this will protect the thread and make it stronger, giving it a kind of armor coating. Visit us at our website: http://fortinthewoods.com/ Like and Follow us on our social channels!

Arrows can be a lot of fun for target practice or even just carrying while on adventures. Making arrows your self can be a enjoyable and makes it less upsetting when you lose them in the woods. Make your own arrows for less than $3! Using a few simple ingredients like string, tape and some sort of PVC box I was able to make some awesome arrows that worked super well. Try this one out yourself! As always, be careful and respect the tool you build. Visit us at our website: http://fortinthewoods.com/ Like and Follow us on our social channels!

In this weeks video we construct a staff sling to throw stuff really far. Have you ever wanted the ability to throw objects incredible distances? We have (see our huge trebuchet in other videos) but we wanted something mobile. Using some simple materials we DIY a device that can sling large rocks across a field. For centuries, the staff sling has been used to fight off wild animals, siege castle walls and even throw fiery objects ship to ship on the high sea. They're easy to make and take some getting used to. While we don't recommend sling staffs for maritime warfare, we do recommend them for the yard. Start with tennis balls before you sling rocks! Stay safe, have fun, find adventure and if you make something cool, let us know! Find us at our website: http://fortinthewoods.com/ Like and Follow us on our social channels!

No blade is more famous than the curved samurai sword or katana from early Japanese history. We've made these for years and decided to recreate one from oak we glued together. This is an relatively easy DIY project as long as you have a few tools. Some clamps, a hand planer or even a knife, some sort of saw, and some sand paper. Glue and the wooden pieces should be all you need to be on your way to chopping some stuff. Beyond the build we take our new blade and put it to a test chopping everything we could find in the kitchen...
