      +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...

    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.

    • @cavemanjoe7972
      @cavemanjoe7972 7 років тому

      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.

      @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday  8 років тому +17

      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

  • @markrichards4361

      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...

    • @markrichards4361
      @markrichards4361 7 років тому +19

      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.

    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.

  • @SteveAubrey1762
    @SteveAubrey1762 7 років тому +1

    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
