B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Went for a look about the woods with my lad.... All i took with me was a small saw...knife....a set of bands....and my paracord survival bracelet.... We chopped a couple of natural forks...and me and rhys....set about making and instant...catapult....as if in a survival situation....capable of getting you your dinner..... A bit if fun for him ..... Just demonstrates...you dont need fancy work...endless sanding and a nice finish.... to make a catapult.. It shoots.... its strong... it took less than 5 minutes to make .... Round the front edge of the fork.... and cut yourself some indents for your cord to sit... The inner strands of paracord...from the survival bracelet.....are good to use for tying the bands... Using the 'constrictor knot'...secure the bands to the fork... A quick...useable catapult...

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Bear Grylls had better start watching his back,,,,,,,,, and another thing - just once could make sure your lad has a miserable day when he doesn't enjoy life to the full? Seriously, looks like another grand day out for the 2 of you ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
