Woniya's Snaring on Alone Part 4- Mors Kochanski Style Lifting Poles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I consider this video on lifting poles snares a tribute to the late great Mors Kochanski, from who's book I learned them and whom I was able to learn from in person at Rabbitstick Rendezvous over the years.
The video is specifically geared towards sharing how I went about my snaring of snowshoe hares (my intended target) and occasional squirrels (fortuitous accidental catch) on Alone season 6. As the weather turned colder it was harder and harder to set other types of snares, due to the ground too frozen to drive pegs into and sapling losing their springing power, and I became increasingly practiced at this very useful snares, for which I provide step by step instruction here.

Most articulate of the season 6 contestants. Really talented!
thank you
Thank you for your tribute to Mors Kochanski. He was the true master .You would make him proud.
Thank you, I believe he would! I had the privilege of talking to Mors on the phone the summer I was preparing to go out on Alone, and to see him at the Global Bushcraft Symposium the summer after, just months before he died. I got the chance to tell him I used his lifting pole snares out there!
@@BuckskinRevolution Nothing made him happier then to hear back from folks like you. That used things he taught in real life situations. I'm glad you had the chance to meet him.
Lady you are an excellent teacher !
Excellent video and a beautiful tribute.
Thank you for sharing Woniya
Thank you Woniya! What a great demo. I learned so much and will have to test out my own lifting pole snare like this one.
I loved this video a great tribute to Mores. A hair to catch a hare on a hair trigger. Again great video.
Good info Thank you. That's nice that you had a chance to talk to Mors.
Excellent setup! Thank you for sharing! Blessings!!
Awesome demo! Thank you!
I appreciate your attention to detail in showing us what and how you did it.
Nice Job Woniya, Mors would have been proud of you!
Thanks so much Dave! That means a whole lot coming from you! I know there are a lot of folks mourning him right now, but he will live on in so many ways and be remembered in all the ways we apply what he taught us!
@@BuckskinRevolution I love will be following your videos; have fun making them, and I hope people appreciate how skilled and knowledgable you are. Dave H
Looking good and well explained...I never made one of these but that style trap solves a lot of the issues with saplings freezing in place and unable to spring upright when they need to.
Thank you very much for this tutorial mate.

Thnxs for uploading and sharing this detailed info on snaring
👍🏻🇺🇸
great video, much appreciated. It was fun listening to your experience while at rabbit stick.
Great tips!! You definitely got a bunch of rabbits on Alone. Really enjoyed your video and Happy 2020!!
Thank you so much. I was hoping while you were on the show to learn about your snares and now I have my chance. You are amazing!
great video! Just finished season 6 on Netflix, you should expect a big boost in views soon so keep these coming
Pretty slick using a knot as a trigger mechanism.
Raven.
Such a brilliant design. . .gotta wonder who the first was to devise this
Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing
Yes, he was a good man.
Hi Woniya. Thank you for the instruction on the lifting pole triggered snare. Excellent. You did a great job on Alone. We were rooting for you. Keep the skills lessons coming. I really enjoy you buckskin lessons. Are you going to Rabbitstick?
thank you, and yes, teaching at Rabbitstick is my plan!!
Hello Woniya, what knife are you using in this video please? Nice knife and nice case. Are you of the native Indian descent? You are a brave woman. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing! Not having lovely, clear "super-hair" of my own, I am tempted to experiment with other super fine natural fibers, such as wool, or spider silk... Snare wire is definitely going on my check list!
Yes, I guess going gray so early was kind of cheating. cool, I'd be curious to hear how those materials work for you . yes, just using snare wire is definitely a lot easier, but hard to find when you find yourself in a survival situation without having known to pack for it!
@@BuckskinRevolution And premature balding is just 'leaning into the challenge!' 😄 Definitely looking forward to getting some feedback from you on my solve for that. Wintercount then?
Evan Mabry sounds good, I'll be there!
Ya it's a definite loss to our community .what a wealth of knowledge gone . But thankfully he passes some along . Great snare too .
Cool
One of my favorite series to watch along with the hide tanning vids. I’m kinda interested with your opinions on a few things. How practical and durable are snares made from natural cordage? Also, what are your thoughts/experiences on deadfall traps? Ive heard deadfalls can ruin the meat because because the internal organs could burst. However, The Paiute deadfall has proven to be successful for me with catching and cooking squirrels. Just curious, thanks
sweet, thanks!
Those are big questions without se answers, as there are a ton of types of natural corsage, all very different in terms of strength and durability, but even then those aren't necessarily the best question because some of the strongest corsages, like sinew, are also attractive to animals to eat, so they can get nibbles on and disabled no mater how strong they are. And it totally depends on the type of snare, environment, etc.
Likewise, there are heaps of types of dead falls so a lot of different factors. the ideal deadfall would be set up so that the animal only has its upper body under the weight, so that the head is all that gets crushed and there is no damage to the organs. It all depends on what you are after and what kind of weights you have to work with. For small animals like mice, squirrels, etc, this is harder to accomplish so they are more likely to get more squished but getting so flattened that their organs burst would probably mean the weight was too heavy
Just wondering if a fist sized noose in a path that size is a bit small and rabbit head might not exactly go through the loop? Can you use a bigger noose that self-tightens? Thanks.
The issue is that if the noose is bigger the rabbit can step through it with its front legs, getting caught by the hips instead of the neck which is not a quick kill but a long slow suffering dangling from its hips and not dying. I have had this happen and it's brutal. The animal must then be killed by other means after its suffering, the back legs bruised with congealed blood from the restricted circulation. There is good reason that nooses are sized the way they are.
@@BuckskinRevolution That's very considerate of you! I enjoyed watching season 6 because of your great spirit. I went back to watch season 1 and I think season 6 is definitely better with the ladies :)
just fixed the many typos in my first answer!

How sensitive are rabbits to scent?
much less so than most other critters one would trap, which is a blessing!
lol i live in kansas city, why am I watching all these videos?
Because your soul knows it's time to move.
