So this is how to avoid people bitching about animals getting killed: dont show them the moneyshot and instantly it becomes fine. Out of sight out of mind huh? Simple minds...
Divine Linker Pretty much. I've had idiots sit there and talk down to me about hunting and trapping and call me a barbarian while stuffing their fat face with Chicken Mcnuggets and a cheeseburger.
+Big Boss "I eat meat, but only if it's been wrapped in plastic" (e.g. supermarket meat) actual quote from a relative. As long as they don't witness the death and processing, they somehow think they're less "barbaric" than those of us who can do it all. They are unabashedly pawning off the dirty work on someone else, someone who is a small piece in a corporation that cares nothing for the quality of life or the speed of death of their meat animals. But somehow that makes them a better person...
I've transferred my interest in traps over to you, I love that you show in detail how it's made, how it works in theory and field testing it and recording it. this is life saving knowledge. Thank you my hats off to you sir.
To the little rat troll, who sent a noreply and hidden comment to me, connected to this vid ... Here it is in the open .... You can't hide !!!! Let everybody see you for the rat pellet that you are ... Dragitall You Rightist moonbat horseshit not necessary. Shut up troll. Go pop your pimples. You don't have a YT site, and your comments are utter insanity. Take your medication.
Some people don't understand the definition of VERMIN, or maybe those people somehow relate to vermin. Maybe they should try to pass a law that makes cockroaches a protected species as well.
Alright Shawn, I've got a challenge for you. There is a live catch wild hog trap that is a cage with a door that only opens inward. It uses springs to keep the door closed after a pig pushes it open. Challenge: make a "rope spring" version.
Red Beard That could be done pretty easily with a few dry, flattened wooden 'springs' that are tied to the door with spring tension from the bend in the wood holding it closed. They'd have to be well-seasoned and waterproofed, though.
Excellent! Did you read about this in Paul Campbell's Survival Skills of Native California? Ive worked and used to know Paul. If you do not have his book, I can lend you mine. Its a ton of information.
I just found Paul Campbell's book online when researching this trap. Page 65 was very informative and the inspiration for this video. I recently ordered a copy and can't wait to read it. You are very lucky to have worked with him. Get a copy of this book at: books.google.com/books?id=qSRLW5ziVFAC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=mojave+scissor+trap+cambel&source=bl&ots=Gu8k99UQhu&sig=PIOj4sGYXDeO6atPirAh_rCPorg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis9NS1sLPRAhXKhVQKHUJDBhYQ6AEIQjAJ#v=onepage&q=mojave%20scissor%20trap%20cambel&f=false
Thanks for the link Shawn . It is interesting the names given to these traps . The scissor trap and the Paiute were both taught to me by my Apache uncle and cousins over 50 years ago .
you care to show the trap in a simple manner that people can understand. I'm just trying to calculate how many lives you will be responsible for saving if times get really tough. great job, I think I speak for almost everyone watching please maintain these invaluable video's you're totally on target.
Put up the video showing the full sequence of the rat getting caught cause I wanna see it...even if it gets age restricted. To hell with the PC police!!!
I love that you not only showed how to make it but took the time and patience to show it in action. It is nice to know it can work be for I go and try it.
No one can guarantee the rats you catch,won't infect you if eaten..they carry deadly diseases and bacteria they eat feces and sewage and have deadly pathogens in their meat..eat at your own risk..cooking well might not be enough...
Mark Bushcraft Richards in completed wild its fine to eat them as there's no dangerous human waste by must be checked ( liver lungs heart ) for dangerous illness
No thanks..I seen first hand how dirty they are..I've shot hundreds of them over the years and trapped them..I've watched them eat each other...If you trap them an urban area they'll have been in the sewer..Fleas on them help spread the diseases..if you're hundreds of miles away from civilisation they might be ok..But as I said they should only be eaten in extreme survival situations..each to their own..If you want to eat them go ahead I won't stop you..lol
Impressive because most people I see making traps or snares rarely catch anything. Alone series is a great example of how these so called experienced woodsman can't even catch small game much less large. This is the difference between modern and ancient man.
Another Fantastic tutorial sir!! You make great videos! One suggestion: couldn't you just use a third hoop instead of the crossbar with the two sticks? Would even be less work and less string . Regards from Germany
Awesome!!! You make the coolest stuff..!!! I just hope there are many rabbits if I ever get lost in the woods. Rats and squirrels........would have to be really, really hungry.
Good video, so your in a survival situation, using natural materials. What bait are you going to use? Hungry, it would be hard to leave food behind in hopes of catching something. I can understand using something from a previous kill, but what did you use to get that kill?
Excellent, effective trap Some ancient know how never goes out of use! Q. How durable,strong is the string you made? If you have not I suggest you make a video showing how to make natural string and or rope and how strong it can be.
+Erox-YT-Gaming 2, I would try one, I've eaten lots of strange bugs and weird plants that most people cringe at, but am yet to dine on rats.... when I shoot them in my chicken run, my dogs won't touch them... maybe they would if they were cooked?
Quite interesting video for those who are waiting the situation to come when such the way for survival will be the only chance. There will not be any PC nor mobile phones available for sure ... the question is what way the others will choose to get the food in the same time .... anyway thanks for reminding us on how natives used to live in the past.
Shawn, thank you for sharing your passion with us, your videos are so informative, you clearly explain all the elements and I'm happy to report that I made this trap yesterday, actually 3 of them. All 3 worked beautifully. I did a lot of hiding of the bait and can't be more pleased with the results. Keep the knowledge coming.
Why go through all this and harm an innocent animal, when you can get your meat from the grocery store or a supermarket, where no animals were harmed? - - For real, though, this is a very informative and a well-made video. Loved it!
Rat is good meat. In the old wooden ship, wind powered navies, ships were plagued with rats and sailors caught them to supplement the salted meat which was a mainstay of their diet. When I went on liberty in Hong Kong in the Vietnam war era, I saw grilled rats sold by street vendors and they were very good. Of course these were cage raised rats, bred and grown for the table. Much bigger and fatter than wild rats.
Great videos! I agree , these traps are a much wiser use of energy than large game hunting. First off, there will always be more small game than large game, secondly, large game requires preservation skills and TIME. Time may not be in your favour. Third, these traps made from natural materials are obviously very effective, so you do not have to weigh your pack down with store bought traps. It's always lighter to carry knowledge in your head that gear on your back! Well done, I'm subscribing. MiF
Hi Shawn. thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. I enjoy primitive traps especially the ones which require no modern materials or tools to construct. You have a really good style to your videos and you are a very good presenter to. I'm working my way through all of your videos. thanks
The Anasazi used this in Southern Utah as well. Saw one excavated from a dig site in Boulder Utah. the only part they didn't have was the arches and triggers.
awesome video! i love these trapping videos you are doing. i live in australia and im trying to find sources of how the native aboriginals made their rock fish traps. would love to see more of these!
I have to wonder who the weenie cry baby is that gave you a thumbs down. He/she should always stay on grid close to a super market. What a boring sad life that would be.

Gonna have to send you a beer for all the great knowledge.....
why not use three hoops and two pairs of scissors and not have to block the back end? that first one would have still bought the farm that way.
I was thinking the same thing. But why did you reply to this guy's comment?
I've transferred my interest in traps over to you, I love that you show in detail how it's made, how it works in theory and field testing it and recording it. this is life saving knowledge. Thank you my hats off to you sir.

Great video thanks
I couldn't care less if the rat felt pain or not.
Thanks for sharing but not everyone's a psychopath.
^ you are if you think that comment is anywhere near psychopath
mjbonehunter I mean you gotta do whatever you can for food.
I did not know this trap. Great demo! I love how little energy the trap spring requires.
Nice trap, most traps are very well known and are in multiple survival guides but I've never heard of this one before, so +1. Nice work!
People like you do a great service by sharing this information. Thank you
Shawn, don't bend to the hypersensitive pc police. Please show all footage.
Some people don't understand the definition of VERMIN, or maybe those people somehow relate to vermin. Maybe they should try to pass a law that makes cockroaches a protected species as well.
Good editing. It makes it less likely to get shut down. thank You for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome trap and very clear instructions too! Thanks very much Shawn Woods ☺
Shawn....i think you would be one of the few people eating well on the show Alone :). You have mad skills my friend.
Oh man come a day when the apocalypse happens, I'll be glad I watched your videos lol

Shawn Woods where do you buy the book ? I would want one myself please
could you upload how the trap works in action on some other website that isn't all aabout being PC?
I really like this trap. Thanks for showing us the awesome primitive skills.
you macke the bast vidios
Fox 420 *make *best *videos
Thenks
Can you do videos on catching more aquatic animals. Like large fish, alligator and turtles
Andy Schleichardt That's a really good idea 👍
It is an effective trap for sure but also more complex than a standard fixed snare or a standard spring snare. Thanks for sharing.
absolutely the best trap I've seen!!! thanks much for sharing your thoughts. the step by step instructions are easy to follow. blessings sir!!
Thats really neat! I liked how you ate the rat too
you care to show the trap in a simple manner that people can understand.
I'm just trying to calculate how many lives you will be responsible for saving if times get really tough.
great job, I think I speak for almost everyone watching please maintain these invaluable video's you're totally on target.
Keep the trap videos coming!
Is hantavirus a concern when eating rodents?
Great video! It's like you're the MacGyver of rat traps. Awesome job and thanks for the vid!
Put up the video showing the full sequence of the rat getting caught cause I wanna see it...even if it gets age restricted. To hell with the PC police!!!
I respect you for posting videos like these
I love that you not only showed how to make it but took the time and patience to show it in action. It is nice to know it can work be for I go and try it.
Cool trap...but eating rats is a risky game..should only eat them in extreme survival situations....each to their own..I won't be eating any..
Mark Bushcraft Richards the fire kills the diseases that they carry.
No one can guarantee the rats you catch,won't infect you if eaten..they carry deadly diseases and bacteria they eat feces and sewage and have deadly pathogens in their meat..eat at your own risk..cooking well might not be enough...
Mystic Silver haunta virus. you might google that.
Mark Bushcraft Richards in completed wild its fine to eat them as there's no dangerous human waste by must be checked ( liver lungs heart ) for dangerous illness
No thanks..I seen first hand how dirty they are..I've shot hundreds of them over the years and trapped them..I've watched them eat each other...If you trap them an urban area they'll have been in the sewer..Fleas on them help spread the diseases..if you're hundreds of miles away from civilisation they might be ok..But as I said they should only be eaten in extreme survival situations..each to their own..If you want to eat them go ahead I won't stop you..lol
So technically, you could put this in front of a rabbit den. Instant food.
You should show how to bait the traps too.
first you set the trap. then you put the bait on the trigger. Its no fun the other way around.
I have never seen this type of primitive trap before. Thanks for posting! subbed
12:02 That looks so damn awesome. Sell me some by the pound. Great video, thanks. Much love from the Mojave desert, Adelanto, CA!!!
Impressive because most people I see making traps or snares rarely catch anything. Alone series is a great example of how these so called experienced woodsman can't even catch small game much less large. This is the difference between modern and ancient man.
Dude I love these traps. I'm going camping this weekend and I'll be setting two of these up.
crystal clear instructions, good job.
man ur awesome ur my new favorite survival UA-camr
2 traps in one week,i see you work really hard on your channel,keep up this quality content
You know in one day this might save someones life! Thanks
wow great video keep up the great work, I find all of these videos interesting.
Another Fantastic tutorial sir!! You make great videos!
One suggestion: couldn't you just use a third hoop instead of the crossbar with the two sticks? Would even be less work and less string . Regards from Germany
i'd eat pine cones before I remembered to do all that !
I sure hope it never comes down to that...again. It is still good to know about such traps so thank you for this great video!
Very informative and well done. The addition of videos showing the traps functioning (or not) is an excellent idea!
Awesome!!! You make the coolest stuff..!!! I just hope there are many rabbits if I ever get lost in the woods. Rats and squirrels........would have to be really, really hungry.
Feat video. Lots of hard work to make...very Professional...great dialogue. Thanks.
Good video, so your in a survival situation, using natural materials. What bait are you going to use? Hungry, it would be hard to leave food behind in hopes of catching something. I can understand using something from a previous kill, but what did you use to get that kill?
I would loved to meet the guy that came up with that idea first. smart man or woman
Fantastic video! I am going to build one just for the experience
i heard his video got banned. i suppose some animal rights hypocrites made that happened. and i felt sorry for shawn.
Excellent, effective trap
Some ancient know how never goes out of use!
Q. How durable,strong is the string you made?
If you have not I suggest you make a video showing how to make natural string and or rope and how strong it can be.
great! now go wash your hand ✋
1st time here. Great explanation bud. Good stuff.
Great trap! Love the video. Not sure about eating rats but when you're hungry eh?
Fraser Mair like they say "a wolf will eat his leg to survive" or something like that
+Erox-YT-Gaming 2, I would try one, I've eaten lots of strange bugs and weird plants that most people cringe at, but am yet to dine on rats.... when I shoot them in my chicken run, my dogs won't touch them... maybe they would if they were cooked?
The heat in the Mojave makes me wish for a nuclear winter
Quite interesting video for those who are waiting the situation to come when such the way for survival will be the only chance. There will not be any PC nor mobile phones available for sure ... the question is what way the others will choose to get the food in the same time ....
anyway thanks for reminding us on how natives used to live in the past.
Excellent Video!
you eat rats? did the market run out of steaks or is it just a survival thing?
After seeing the documentary "Rats" I don't want to eat rats.
Great video though!
Thanks for this Shawn. This is the first of your vids that Ive seen. Awesome trap! New sub anxiously clicking the next vid.
Shawn, thank you for sharing your passion with us, your videos are so informative, you clearly explain all the elements and I'm happy to report that I made this trap yesterday, actually 3 of them.

Good Video!
And Subbed!
Have you thought of doing videos about making different types bows? I think it would be very entertaining. :)
I Love this channel
nice video and like the fact the animal didn't suffer. will certainly give it a try thankyou shaz ;-)

Great video! I had never seen this trap and it seems to be less "tricky" to make and set.
Great videos! I agree , these traps are a much wiser use of energy than large game hunting.

How do you make cordage?
Great video, man. Very informative and very cool.
@00:04 was it raining
Wow, awesome video man! #subbed
Hi Shawn. thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. I enjoy primitive traps especially the ones which require no modern materials or tools to construct. You have a really good style to your videos and you are a very good presenter to. I'm working my way through all of your videos. thanks
Shawn , are these good for ground squirrels too , or would you need something bigger ?
are rats safe to eat??
bro make another cooking rat video I like your original but another wouldn't hurt :)
Love your videos Shawn!
cool! but RATS???? YUUUU-UK!
Have you ever made a primitive tread trap or deer snare? It's all about catching big game. Unfortunately we can't hunt many animals here in the UK
Great video. Does rat taste similar to squirrel?
Not gory enough... Add some stone flake cutting points to it.
LMAO. Hell yeah. Spikey rat trap of agony and death.
Excellent video Shawn, very effective trap.
The Anasazi used this in Southern Utah as well. Saw one excavated from a dig site in Boulder Utah. the only part they didn't have was the arches and triggers.
