I've used an L7 spring setup for over 50 years, works great, less complicated, uses less materials and a quicker setup. In a survival situation these things can be critical. Keep up the great videos!
I saw a variation on L7 I think on Dave Canterbury's channel where the trigger line is wrapped once around the L so it also "rolls" out of the 7. Have you used that version / your thoughts?
@@xionix4 Sorry for the slow reply, I have been pushing through a recovery from cancer and not had much time or inclination to UA-cam. I have not heard of that variation. I will check out the channel you recommended and take a look. I have dozens of rabbits around the house and yards, but as Lily mentioned, many neighborhood cats so I have changed to a pair of Hartz live catch traps. They work good enough when I am hungry for a stew!
It is almost the same as our traditions. Coming from Canada Northern Ontario My Grandfather taught us this method. We don`t use it anymore I guess in survival situations its effective. Our Ancestors taught us Only use it when really needed! Great vid, And love your knife. Take care Lilly :)
Thank you for showing us how to tie the constrictor knot it is very much appreciated. Most people demonstrating knots are facing the camera attempting to show how to tie a knot backward for the viewer.
Great training, and great warnings about what can happen. I'm glad you told of the seriousness of using such a trap, and warned that it should only be used in a true survival situation. It should be dismantled and scattered when done trapping or training, so as not to trap a neighbor's pet. I would add that a child's hand or foot would be a bad thing to get caught in the trap also. Thanks for the easy-to-see knot instruction. Really enjoyed this video.
Muito legal!!! Você fez um nó "constritor" a partir do nó "volta do fiel"... Mais uma que aprendi... Obrigado!!! (Very cool!!! You made a "constrictor" knot from the "back of the faithful" knot ... Another one I learned ... Thank you !!!)
A suggestion: Many branches lose their "Spring" tendencies in an hour or so of being bent. It is quicker, easier and smaller to use a log as an elevated weight with the string tied to it and ran through a branch of a tree. Gravity never goes limp.
That is exactly great advice and I can see it working I have used a door spring and it worked great but the log idea is great thanks 😊 learned something new 😀 👍
@@tobymagee4307 Did you notice that "gravity" spelled backwards is: "ytivarg"? No that's weird for sure. Because "ytivarg" in Bohemian translates to "weightless"! In theory of course.
I prefer a spring snare that allows the animal to be lifted into the air. This breaks the neck, killing instantly rather than strangling, which is more humane. That may be one reason that African spring snare wasn't included in that survival handbook.
Hi Lily, great demonstration of what is sure to be very effective. Setting up the snare trap however is only half the solution. It’s just as important to position it properly in a rabbits trail and restrict the path to make sure the animal goes through the snare.
That's really cool idea but really everyone should go and test out the situation where they are so they have real first hand experience and know what they are up against really water food and warm dry place to sleep actual comfort as much as possible and security
Great job explaining the trap and warnings about its setup. I hope it’s never needed. But better to know everything you can, and not need it. Then need to know and don’t. Thanks! Keep it up. I appreciate everything I’ve learned watching your channel!
You can always claim that hunting with a .22 or even air rifle gets you game quicker, but of course then you would disregard complexity of the tool as well as limitations, such as sight and ammunition. Snares are such a fantastic thing to build, because you can have many of them and they work while you sleep or do other things. The traps in Africa were very hard to spot! Thank you for sharing this, I scribbled it into my survival book! I think it is much easier, more effective and safer than a deadfall.
Hi Lilly, several weeks ago, you made 2 vids on setting up a new log cabin camp near a small creek. You did a substantial amount of clearing & foundation prep & then the vids stopped. Has that project been put on hold or is it going 2Ba sporadic build over a longer period of time? No doggie 2day? Thanx 4 the snare info, stay healthy!! Ciao:)
Love you channel. I have an 💡. You an Vannessa from WWBC could maybe do a over nighter 2 or 3 day. Limited items and you can only eat what you forage or catch.
In a survival situation, you need much more than an effective trap! Proper placement, like on a game trail or as was shown along a gap in a wall where small game would pass, and you need a lot of them! I suspect her guide built that wall, setting it up with those gaps. Lilly saw 200 snares set up in a 2 hour walk! Just like with survival fishing, you need a lot more than 1 hook in the water! To be effective a dozen hooks or more are necessary, and you need to have the fish biting!
Always loved the feeling of soaking wet Doc Martens, I like walking through the creek, them wearing the wet boots home, making all kinds of sounds when full of water, so great..
Survival Lily, did you 'survive' the trap construction? The area you chose to build in, was covered in poison ivy. I started itching just watching you build and test. I'm highly allergic to it! Great trap, it provided you with cool drinking water! Sorry, I'm sick with poison ivy! :) Really awesome video. Best regards.
Here in the United States, many of us could care less about a neighbors cat getting caught in a trap. The law here allows cat owners to let them run loose. My neighbors cats p-sses on our house siding and stains it, digs up our flower beds, and climbs on our cars and scratching the paint. The neighbors just deny any responsibility and the sheriff tells us to call the Animal Control Division while they just give us a run-around by telling us to call the sheriff
I live in Africa and I don't know of any countries where wire snares are legal!! I believe in some westernized countries especially north America they are. In Africa, many officials turn a blind eye to wire snaring if its obviously for self-use. The biggest problem is the jump from catching food for self to catching meat to sell. There it's downhill all the way. Yes, the money earned often does buy legitimate goods like cornmeal or other valuable commodities such as oil or perhaps a little comfort like tobacco and Alcohol, but unfortunately, there is an unknown percentage over 50% who trap for profit as a business. That is why, throughout Africa generally, wire snares or possession of them is highly illegal. I can speak 100% for South of the equator.But as you say. As a strictly survival live or die situation this was a great tutorial
Was this a demonstration for the trap or a commercial for the knife? I'm just teasing, but the army combat knife I had did not cut as well as your knife. I must say I'm impressed by its performance. What is the length of the blade?
A good survival strategy would have to consist of trapping and hunting, fishing and gathering. It would take quite a calamity to send us back to the stone age like this, but if it should happen, better to have some skills than not.
That trap is really cool, the only modifications I would make, instead of using the spring pole, I would use the Spanish windlass for the spring part. That way you get more power and precision out of your trap.
I have never seen a trap like that my own trigger has it in front of the snare loop horizontal it springs loose pulling a pin so my tension can be really powerful and I use loop score simular to your method mine takes a real grip it works two or more snare loops so no matter which side it's on before and after the trigger it uses two tension bends one pulls the pin and powers the trigger the other pulls the snare loops

@ArmchairWarrior Almost never use it only for Educational now! In case situation.

Excellent demonstration. I'm going to attempt to learn that style snare.
Good morning everyone from wellington Somerset in the UK
Good afternoon to everyone from Michigan in the USA.

Right, then!
Morning neighbour!
Morning
Super Falle und toll der gestochene Konstruktor Knoten! Danke für´s zeigen. LG Sepp
As always, another nice demonstration, very informative, and reminding people of safety.
Thank you for this informative Video and well explained instructions!! You Rock!

Gravity never goes limp because it isn't real. It's a theory lol

Gravity never goes limp? Ever see an old lady's butt and boobs??????????????????????????????????
Great video! Been watching them from the beginning and recently started watching Vinnessa’s channel. You two are amazing. Thanks 🙂✌️
I prefer a spring snare that allows the animal to be lifted into the air. This breaks the neck, killing instantly rather than strangling, which is more humane. That may be one reason that African spring snare wasn't included in that survival handbook.
If that spring is strong enough, there is a good chance to break the neck against the Y-part where the string goes up, I guess...
Huh?
When your hungry and trying to survive humanely killing an animal is the least of your worries. I get the respect but it's either me or it.
When it comes to me living…I’m going to eat. What kind of monsters are you people ? 🫣💀🥱
Yup!
Great video Lilly, Thank you for sharing!
Hi Lily, great demonstration of what is sure to be very effective. Setting up the snare trap however is only half the solution. It’s just as important to position it properly in a rabbits trail and restrict the path to make sure the animal goes through the snare.
That was very interesting and a good demonstration of that trap. Thanks.💖
Nice video. Thanks. Its nice when people do a detailed video. Keep up the good job!
Really enjoy your channel and I’ve learned a bunch, could you do an urban bugout plan?
That's really cool idea but really everyone should go and test out the situation where they are so they have real first hand experience and know what they are up against really water food and warm dry place to sleep actual comfort as much as possible and security

Great video! Love the knife, I have one of each size and they work great.
Awesome trap and tips hope to see more
Looking at a diagram in a book and a real world demonstration are two different things. I really appreciate your videos.
Thanks Lilly. Very informative.
Another great video Lilly!!! Thank you for your time and effort.
Better to have and not need than need and not have yep

thanks lilly very well done buddy from the u.s.a. your wonderful and your welcome lilly any time
Great video Survival Lilly...We love you!!!
Different and great job. Thank you once again.
Cold river walks are quite healthy :))
I wake up, i saw that lilly have uploaded a new video. You saved my day! 🖤
Love it.... Great demonstration...
Finally, Lilly's back. I miss this kind of your vid
Love you channel. I have an 💡. You an Vannessa from WWBC could maybe do a over nighter 2 or 3 day. Limited items and you can only eat what you forage or catch.
Love watching you .. with clean hands...
Thank you for the proper demonstration
Thought your knife unremarkable until you sharpened trap points ,holds edge well.

you have the best videos thank you
Hi Lilly..thanx..and we hope Vanessa gets well soon.😣
Love a good snare!
Hi Lilly hope you return back to Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 soon
I love this chan and all the vids... That knife is beautiful.
Awesome trap thanks for sharing you are awesome
I like the knife Lilly, and it is a awesome trap for rabbits so you won't go hungry if you're lost in the wilderness. Thank you
If you have any rabbits around, maybe.
Thanks Lilly! 👍😁
Always loved the feeling of soaking wet Doc Martens, I like walking through the creek, them wearing the wet boots home, making all kinds of sounds when full of water, so great..
It must have been a fantastic adventure, in the midst of wild nature. Hello, good day👍🌲
She is doing that in a small forest in Austria - there is no "wild nature"!
Nice video
You could take your boots out while crossing that river so that to keep them dry
Survival Lily, did you 'survive' the trap construction? The area you chose to build in, was covered in poison ivy. I started itching just watching you build and test. I'm highly allergic to it! Great trap, it provided you with cool drinking water! Sorry, I'm sick with poison ivy! :) Really awesome video. Best regards.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. 😅
In a genuine survival situation, the legality of a certain skill would come a long way down my list of priorities.
I am of this opinion too. The most important thing is to survive. You can worry about the legal aspects later
@@phobos8154 ...while in jail...
This is named a Springle snare trap that Survival Lilly is demonstrating.
Great video, thank you. Love your backpack, what’s the brand?
Picture hanger wire is good for snares. It's strong, flexible and holds its shape.
thanks
I love the trap you set
Thanks for the video!
Excellent Trap
Thanks for the video. What boots are those? I like the looks of them.
How did the water bottle taste once you had caught it? 😊
أنتي دائمآ رائعة ☺ 👍

Survivor tip remove shoes and socks when crossing water. Just be weary of sharp objects in the water.
i love this ....beautiful vid

I love that you prolly have a base camp .
I wonder if you can do the same with a yoyo fishing reel.
to find that snare read sas survival hand book by johnny wiseman ,its an older book
Cool! I hope you're not allergic to poison ivy. Leaves of three. At least in America

I love this channel ❤
Awesome!
Cool stuff!
unless swimming you should always cross water with a stout staff to assist you
Mantaaaaapppp 👍
Similar to the mojave scissor trap, but seems simpler to make!
We are in the ozarks. Will be cooking a hog under ground. The weather finally is nice. 70 during the day and 48 at night 🙃
Now, you should show what you do to alleviate the effects of poison ivy- which you have been squatting in through this video.
Is that all poisen ivy your setting that trap in?
Aren't all those plants with the three leaves poison oak?
Not in Europe!
I was always frustrated growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles County. I can never find the right kinds of sticks to make any kind of trap
Clove hitch not constrictor knot.
4:52 is that poison ivy/oak?
That looks enough like poison ivy to make me pick a different spot.
I’m watching you for the second time and stop a third the video to comment. Do you know how to recognize “Poison Ivy plants?”
That's not a River, and that's not getting soak and wet. However. I live in northwest Oregon.
Check out, Malcolm's channel - JJR Survival. He does all sort of trapping.
That trap is really cool, the only modifications I would make, instead of using the spring pole, I would use the Spanish windlass for the spring part. That way you get more power and precision out of your trap.
Dear, that appears to be poison ivy that you are working in at 4:53. Am I mistaken?
It has been 3 years and I finally remembered about her
I have never seen a trap like that my own trigger has it in front of the snare loop horizontal it springs loose pulling a pin so my tension can be really powerful and I use loop score simular to your method mine takes a real grip it works two or more snare loops so no matter which side it's on before and after the trigger it uses two tension bends one pulls the pin and powers the trigger the other pulls the snare loops
Never had a grammar lesson!! Probably talks non-stop without taking breath.
Uhh early one

Are you aware that Vanessa is in hospital with serious meningitis problem ?
lets send out some good thoughts and vibes to Ms Blank guys !
Does anyone know the name of this trap specifically.
