Crafting a Hunting Tool | Live Free or Die

I'm gonna make this home for the night, and I'm gonna do a little bit of fire straightening. So I'm just warming the dart over the coals on this fire, and then try to kind of straighten it.

Four days into his 80-mile journey, desert Nomad Tobias is suffering the consequences of a lack of food. "I just feel kind of tired right now—tired and hungry—with long miles and days ahead."

Yeah, that's pretty good too. He shifts his focus to hunting wild game, his only potential source of protein. "This journey out here, it's like a test to see if I can use what I know and learn new things and just not die."

I'm just trying to create kind of a little divot here that the thrower will hook into. A bigger question is like, as humans, are we still capable of living in the environment that we evolved in?

I brought a couple wild turkey feathers for etching. It seems almost unfathomable to come live like this, but I'm here because I want to consciously do things in a different way.

Working the end down so that I can get one of the bullet shells that I found to fit on the end of this really durable hard blunt tip. I always knew it was gonna be a big challenge, but in the end, I don't want to be out here just to suffer.

It's quick and dirty. I'm interested in living a life worth living—hopefully catching some meat tomorrow.
