I once got isolated in an island here in the Philippines. Glad I have that book to review. I started by 3pm to make my own shelter. Just near my shelter is a coconut tree, lots of it. It was a good source for thirst and hunger. And after that those coconut skins I use it to start a fire for my camp. I stayed there for 3 weeks. And now I want to learn more about this traps.
Good on you! I personally think it's a good idea to have and not need then need and not have, because sometimes life is strange and always more dangerous than we care to admit.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all. By the way, I wish I had thought of the safety blocks the first time I tried the figure 4. 😊
That was so cool. I've had the same exact Tom Brown book for as long as I can remember. Just looked at it a couple days ago. I'm 63 so its been a day or two. Smiles
Cool tutorial, goes to my favourites. :) Thanks for sharing. So far I just built snare traps as deadfall type of traps are illegal over here (actually so are snares in a way, they are kind of like in a grey zone regarding our laws). There should be more of this content on UA-cam Greetings Ralf
Thanks Ralf ! I totally agree for more content like this on youtube, Im working on it ! Lol. Trapping with mise en traps following regula tions and having your trapping licence is still a great est to learn trapping. 80% of trapping is about location of traps and knowing the animals behaviours. The device or trap used is still very important so testing in controlled environments is beneficial :)
There’s a way to make the figure four trap more sensitive. The notch on the bait stick that attaches to the upright stick could be carved on the top side of the stick, instead of on the side. Then, on the upright stick, you remove material near the bottom (on the side where the bait stick is) so where the bait stick attaches, there’s wood for it to latch on to (that wood being right above where you removed material).
Other vids i couldn't see whats going on because of weak light conditions but in your tutorial there were proper light setup to see clearly. Appriciate friend.👍👍
Nice video. Improvements? 1. The fishhooks looked way too big for small and medium sized fish. Try them out. 2. If the weight has to be heavy ... to decrease tension on the trigger stick can you hook up a second weight that is triggered by the first one? It needs to be close to the first weight so the critter gets a BA BOOM ... with the combined weight on him at the end.
I am a trapper and I sure thankful that we have better methods! Give me a roll of wire and I can snare anything a lot easier. But they didn't have wire. Making a cross shaped landing stick for the bird trap would help position your snare flat. That would increase the success rate. Long trees, positioned on the crushing stick for your deadfall, would speed up the trap and would increase its crushing power. Very interesting video. It kind of shows why agricultural societies had more time to invent stuff. The hunter/gathers were too busy trying to get food. Thanks for another good one. Wishing you a great Xmas holiday and good camping in the J.C. valley.
If you shave the sides of you vertical stick on the triggers, and pound that stick into the ground, it will not twist if the animal pushes from the side. The problem with the last trap is that the animal is pulling out when you want it going forward. Snares work because the animal snares itself as it moves forward. A trail set snare or a cubby with bait at the back would probably be more effective. Thanks for the video.
That is so true, the T-bar is limiting as the trigger must be triggered by the bait being moved. As you said, a simple snare set in a trail will likely be more effective as it is a ''pass'' trap and you can target different species and you don't need any bait. That being said one could install the T bar snare to trigger the other way for a pushing trigger. Thanks so much for the comments and feedback ! Merry Christmas to you as well !! Some of these traps I had never built before and was limited by time 1 week to do six …. I will do some better trap videos in the future, it is on the list ! Just got back from camping, was awesome :)
Great job bro I dont know when this video was made but if you're not still doing this u should thanks for your work I'm sure its taught lots of people I bet u even learned from it lol we can always improve on things and learn I'm sure u know that my point is great job
I appreciate it ! Thank you. Still enjoying this stuff. I am in the process of learning to tan a moose hide right now. Have a nice day ! Always learning !
I have a wealth of experience using spring pole type snares and would not recommend that T bar snare trigger, most any other trigger is better. The other traps look good.
@@NomadicWoodsman Just because there are so many better triggers to choose from. As you made it, It was stable but not sensitive enough. A good baited trigger will be both.
i have my electronics/computer/engineering lab in my basement, and we've been beset upon by city rats. I've been having a grand time making novel trap designs, my current favorite is just a nice piece of spring steel from a certain kind of wiper blade (I worked at an auto parts place) and I have that on a light toggle so that it springs straight and at the same time uses that force to tighten a noose. I've set up 3 of them and so far 2 have hit within about an hour. Why do I feel like Wile E. Coyote when I'm doing this sort of thing?
Why is he telling me to make a bird trap that is unlawful. And the only reason I'm going to trap a bird is to eat it within a couple minutes after trapping it I'll ring its neck
We had a big problem with groundhogs on our property, they kept eating our little veggie garden, got to the point where my father offered me 50$ a head if i could kill them, wish i knew how to make these types of traps back then
I did not re-visit much of these traps, workin on a bark canoe project at the moment. thank you for stopping by and commenting ! Cheers Melanie have a nice day, Steve

Good vid. I think if you just did the one wrap around the trigger for the spring pull fish trap it would have reduced the amount of friction and ended up with a bigger jerking effect. Great vid though
If you used a much thinner trigger/bait stick that would actually bend a little under the tension from the toggle; it would be quite a bit more sensitive to the animals weight/aggravation.
U could also move the vertical stick away from the bait and middle of the trigger stick. So the farther away it is the more sensitive it will be to movement no matter how much weight you have /| /| /__|__________ VS /__|______ / | / | Farther Shorter
Never thought about catching non predator birds. 🤔 Interesting. I'll be trapping a juvenile gaws hawk to train in the next decade, after i further prepare myself and a muse. There is already a safe trap for this but this first trap could work for game.

The preface of this video says "please note it is illegal to trap animals in Canada using the following traps". If you and your family need food, you use whatever damn traps you want. None of this is fun in games anymore.
My son uses the Paiute Deadfall to catch mice and rats during the summer and fall to use for coyote bait in the winter. He says "it's very efficient and flat rats stack better in the freezer!"

Get the required training and licence to trap animals and sell their fur. ... The licence identifies the area where the trapper can trap and gives harvest quotas for some species (e.g. beaver). ... be a resident of Ontario or a Canadian citizen; hold a valid Outdoors Card
You are showing traps that are to be used in "life or death situations", and you are worried about being humane? When it comes to survival, it's "by any means, necessary", to make it bout alive. 💪🤷♂️
"If a person is hungry and needs to eat, then who gives a f**k about what is legal." Thanks for the information man, great video.

I Welcome yall to Indian country! Gather as much berry, game, root, fish and wife as yall see fit.
Completely agree. Far too much big govt now in our lives today. We have less freedom than ever before.

Excellent. New sub. Congrats!
Thanks for the sub!

Seems that it would take a rather weighty bird to dislodge the trigger.

It would be good to keep simple straight pins in your pack to pin a live worm or other insect to the bait area.
As disgusting as it is to touch worms, let alone nailing them to a trap with a pin. This is great advice. Thanks.
also want to say whoever threw the thumbs down, get your ass off the couch and try some of this. GREAT VIDEO AND INFO.
What wood are the long bending poles and the ones the have the 7 cut?
I used mostly willow for my traps in this video.
I have a wealth of experience using spring pole type snares and would not recommend that T bar snare trigger, most any other trigger is better. The other traps look good.
I did find the T bar trigger to be quite tricky, why would you not recommend ? Does it set off by itself sometimes ? Thanks for the info !
@@NomadicWoodsman Just because there are so many better triggers to choose from. As you made it, It was stable but not sensitive enough. A good baited trigger will be both.

Yes it will work. Any cordage really. Regards ! Steve

If it’s a survival situation then I would use , otherwise I would get chicken from the market.

Your trap at 9 minutes can be modified buy weaving a heavy basket to trap small birds, rabbits , squirrels, & other
But what if like 8 or 9 rats come at once and hold up the weight and take turns eating the bait?
Then, you must put more bait, so that they get tired of holding the weight before the bait is all eaten up. Obviously :) haha
I looked this up to see if the cartoons with this trap actually work
