A Frenchman who lived among the Roe.

Geoffroy Delorme, a native of Normandy, France was home schooled until at the age of 16, decided to step into the woods.

Over the next seven years, Geoffrey would live off the earth and only return home ever so often for essential needs. He studied Native Americans and used survival techniques to get by every day.

Although not a hunter and clearly a pacifist who loves nature, his story is quiet remarkable as he modestly explains his run ins with hypothermia, extreme fatigue, and hallucinations.

He learned to live among the native Roe Deer and witnessed soon befriended several who he would interact with daily. One of his favorite, a Doe named “6 Points Star” was shot by a hunter and he say the whole thing happen.

After many years of living of the land, with his family of Roe Deer, he returned home to find has family had left, moved away and locked the doors to his childhood home.

Posted • In Vietnam, bows and arrows were still in use by US forces and indigenous people of the Vietnamese central highlands otherwise known as Montagnard.

Although I can’t find any records indicating bows were issued to US forces, I have found several instances where they were either sent over by family or made using local goods.

In this first photo (AP Photo), Lt. Cmdr. Donald Sheppard aims a flaming arrow at a bamboo hut concealing a fortified Viet Cong bunker on the banks of the Bassac River. This photo was taken on December 8th, 1967. Commander Sheppard reported that using a bow with a kerosene soaked tip was highly effective when deployed from a river boat.

In the second photo, a Green Beret of an unknown ODA unit poses with a self-bow made from indigenous materials and camouflaged. Special Forces would use bows and arrows to conceal positions while infiltrating VC patrol bases. The effective range of the bows was generally 25 yards, or about 1/3 of a standard issue Browning 1911 A1.
