Your videos are shorter, clearer and far more informative than similar videos produced by others. You have natural ability as an instructor my friend.
I truly appreciate your kind words Jim! That means a lot to me and I appreciate your time and interest to always tune in.
👍 Greetings from a Belgian bushcrafter
Best one so far.
This one's great! I have seen others setting this trap up, but requiring some notches and stuff. Using the "hooks" on the poles to hold cross bars in place is ingenious and makes this much less fiddly and time consuming.
Showing the trap in use at the beginning motivated me to watch the entire video.
The "platform" becomes a "treadle". Nice going.
Funny thing: we had a mouse in our house. We could see his path and knew his pattern but he always seemed to dodge every trap we set for him. Finally, I took a tip from what I had learned from some of the trapping videos I have watched and decided to create a funnel using (of all things) a couple of pool noodles. Mr. Mouse was caught the very evening I set the trap. Narrowing the path of your prey is essential to success.
Love that Brooklyn accent.
Next time, use white or colorful cordage so that it shows up better against the forest colors.
The platform is a "treadle", because it moves when pressure is applied. Platforms are structures which don't ordinarily move.
Thank you for the information.
Great demonstration
Thank you so much Mathew!
Good trap, brother and an excellent demonstration!
Thank you so much James! I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and to share a kind word. Take care my friend.
Nice explanations.
Nice. I hadn’t seen this one before. I like that with a bit of knowledge and practice and a bit of ingenuity you could build a lot of these in very little time.
Thank you my friend! It is definitely one of those traps that you could assemble in number if needed with not too much investment of time or resources. Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
Well done! Especially like you showing the knots being used on larger hi-vis cordage. That should be mandatory on vids involving cordage, especially snares. Skeeter season soon, but such is life in the South. ATB!

loving this series Matt. I know that this could be modified as well for catching fish near the waters edge. exchange the loop for a hook and run it out into the water. Appreciate this series a lot. Great job, great presentation!
I've been waiting on your next video, as usual I was not disappointed. Great job.
Thank you so much for your time, interest and kind words Carl!
Another cool trap technique Matt! 👍🏼
I'm new at this type of stuff , but I'm learning slow to perfectly to no in what to do in when stuff hits the fan in survival thanks on the video sir .
Be safe out there God bless u .

super nice...!!! Nice chamfered stobs.....attention to detail....!!
LOL! Gotta try to make it look good for the video you know :) Thanks for tuning in brother! I appreciate your kind words always!
Thank you another great video ,,, I also liked that you pointed out primitive trapping should only be used for real survival as it is illegal almost everywhere in the world
I agree Ken, it is important to remember that and to be responsible when working with these traps. Thank you for taking the time to tune in and comment!
Good vid Brother
Thank you so much for the kind words brother!
Nice..... I learned a new trap and a knot..........
Awesome Joseph! I hope this one will serve you well. Thank you for your time and kind words.
a very nice trap. I like the noose knot you use. Not a knot I have ever use, will have to try it out.
Thank you you so much for tuning in my friend! I hope this one will serve you well. Thank you for your time and kind words!
Knowledge is power and like always praise the Lord Jesus daily
Thanks for the video. I was wondering when you are going to finish your navigation series? I believe the next video was called making the map.
Hey Michael, I have planned to get that one done for some time now and for one reason or another it keeps getting put off. I will try to get it done asap. It is definitely still on the list. Thank you so much for your interest and kind words!
Hey, this is the exact type of snare my grandfather,father, and great uncles use! They’re from west Myanmar and all learned to trap game as young boys and now experts. They used this snare except in a way bigger version. My grandfather has sent me photos of muntjac deer he snared hanging from the limbs! They prefer to make these snares right before rainstorm, to destroy the human scent since animals there are super skittish. My grandfather has caught sun bear, lots of deer, and some asian golden cats. However, my great uncle was even more successful. He snared 2 tigers on the late 80s as well as a leopard. Anyways, very cool video.And how’d you learn to make this snare?
Thank you so much fro sharing that with me Joe! That is amazing to hear and no doubt your family members are amazing trappers!! It really is a very effective trigger and easy enough to assemble from materials easily sourced. Also as you stated, it can be scaled up or down depending on the target species. I honestly don't remember where I got the idea for this trigger, but I taught myself to make it after seeing the idea. I remember experimenting with it many times to get the process down. Thanks again for sharing and thank you for your time, interest and kind words!
Black Hat Bushcraft no problem
I like it! Do I spy a scissor trap frame off your right knee?
Indeed Jake! I was working on that one a while back in the same location:) Good eye! Thank you for taking the time to tune in.
Has your hat been Mercerized?
id do ione thing different i'd use the potchers snare]
I like the poacher's snare as well Jeff. I don't remember which knot I used in this video but I am guessing I would have a better option now just because I have experimented so much since then. Poachers in one of the best though for sure. Thanks for tuning in in and sharing!
Son, what are you planning to trap with that? Cause no animal I know will get in that thing? No bait, no concelment, no attractant, there is just no draw to get an animal to step on elevated sticks. Also your trigger is not sensitive enough. It won't even pass for a trail set. To obvious. Now if you got cordage, a spring snare can work as a passing trail set. That seems to be what this started out as. But animals are like Democrats, you got to offer them a free lunch to draw them in. First, study edible plants. Plants are nailed to the ground and can't out run you :) But to take an animal in a trap takes more than just owning a trap! Trapping is just like business, location location location :) Let's say some mentally retarded, drunk racoon stumbled around and stuck his foot in that thing. How you gonna kill him? Remember you got him by the foot, not the neck. You hang him up all night by the foot, he is NOT gonna be sociable HEHEHE!
I am assuming you watched the entire video brother but I discussed baiting and funneling the animal into the trap during this. I have a number of videos on edible and medicinal plants as well but most wild plants are very limited as far as calories go. This trap would be better suited to smaller animals than raccoons unless scaled up. This video wasn't to show an actual set that was ready for catching an animal, but rather how to build this type of trap in an emergency scenario as this would be an illegal form of trapping outside of survival. Cover and funneling and baiting would always be part of any primitive style set and also setting animal sign would be a priority. Thanks for watching.
