If you’re looking for a new project that will come in handy when SHTF, you may want to consider constructing your own blow gun! Blow guns were primitive weapons used by Native Americans all over North America.

Ancient blow guns are lightweight, and they require little training and minimal tools for their construction. They were used for both hunting and warfare. Poisonous arrows were created using the venom from animals such as snakes, or toxic plants. Native Americans often added the poison to the blow gun to use against their enemies during battles.

Many blow guns were constructed out bamboo canes native to North America. In this particular video, you’ll get to see how one survivalist builds his primitive blow gun! Check it out.
