</infobox> The Bushcraft Bow is a variant of the Survival Bow in The Long Dark, whose recipe can be acquired from the Trader, after completing Sutherland's Tale.

Overview

The Bushcraft bow is a handmade cable-backed bow with a cloth wrapped handle, black stripe tips, and distinct green colored string. It deals the most damage to wildlife when compared to other bows, and degrades slightly slower than the survival bow, however, the Bushcraft Bow has the potential to break much earlier than other bows; starting at 50% condition instead of 15%.

Differences from Survival Bow

25% more damage than the Survival Bow
Total durability is 20% more than Survival Bow (uses 1.6%-0.8% condition per shot based on archery skill)
Can break earlier, risks breaking under 50% condition, all other bows risk breaking below 15% condition

Locations

Obtaining the Bushcraft Bow Blueprint Card is required to unlock the crafting blueprint, as this bow does not appear naturally in the game world. It is available from the Trader after completing Sutherland's Tale. It will always appear as a trade when unlocked and the card can only be purchased once.

10.00 kg of any raw animal or raw fish meat
5 Cured Maple Sapling
2 any cured hides

This cost is lowered when the player has gained enough Trust to get a discount from the Trader, reducing the trade cost to:

5.00 kg of any raw animal or raw fish meat
2 Cured Maple Sapling
2 any cured hides

Crafting

One key note about this bow is that it requires 2 Green Birch Saplings, not 2 Cured Birch Saplings. This is the only tool in the game that requires an uncured item to craft. If you plan on getting this tool from the Trader eventually, make sure to save some uncured Birch saplings in storage, as although it is a renewable material, Beachcombing can only yield so many Green Birches in a set amount of time. <infobox theme="recipe">
