DESOLATION POINT UPDATE: From September 2015 you now need to craft arrowheads at a forge instead of a workbench. See how to forge arrowheads: youtube.com/watch?v=VUvebbjstcU

The Long Dark now has bow and arrows to go with the rifle as a way to kill animals, but unlike the rifle - which can be found in various locations along with ammo - the bow and arrow has to be painstakingly crafted using some difficult-to-find raw materials.

This game guide for The Long Dark shows you how to find the raw materials (including birch sapling locations, maple sapling locations and where crow feathers spawn), how to cure things to make them ready for crafting and how to craft the bow and arrows.
