You're right mac, we've very lucky. Neither of as have friends at our respective schools that are in to knives or this kind of thing, so its really lucky we became friends.

Hmmmmm bow set you say, sharp?
that could take some doing, why don't you research a bit? I don't know about the strength of English ivy, but thats pretty much the only vine we have around here. Paracord would be a better bet, maybe, unless its too stretchy... idk, I'm just thinking out loud here

anyone got advice on privative weapon making?
