The most useful and educational video I've found on the internet. Thank you very much Mr. Johnson, as you will surely help me remove my beaver problem. +1 like!
I like the using the hand tongs to set the springs, a nice set can be purchased for less than $20. Just don’t order them too short, the longer the easier to use.
Why in the HAY-ELL would you have a protocol for using your hand to set off the trap????? How about a stick? Then you don't have to remember "thumb in hand down" you just remember: use stick; keep fingers.
because he KNOWS exactly what he's doing and he has tons of experience using conibear traps? But yes you're absolutely right - never use human limbs - sticks are the way to go
@@rayzor8268 so do I have a ton of experience its my living and u never ever put limbs near connibear period number one rules..this guy is a water head truly ..p.s I'm canadian and we are known to be very best at our trade our standards and protocols.. where as most the states u don't even need license or course
a giant pair of "plier-like" spreaders - he said buy the longer ones not the short ones for better leverage squeezing the springs together. (see thewildnorth @andrew p stanley he has Trapping lessons in most of his videos
How do you remove the latches on the springs so easily at the end? On mine, the tension on the spring is so tight I can't even move that latch let alone remove it.
picture from camera was blurry in places or either water was on lens. Hard to see the pins and small details on the trap itself, but otherwise good explanation. Frank would be proud of you or maybe he was the one who told you to make a video?
@@bertabound8093 feels about like 600lbs of iron dropped on your fingers n you only got thumbs n feet n teeth to get out lol....blood/spit is your only handy helper..... hard to get your cell phone eith both hands in lol
@@matttrygve .... well, I think I'm going to get the setter tongs for mine then... lol. I can't even squeeze the spring together by hand, and after the spring just jumped sideways and pinched my finger, I'd prefer not to break my fingers. Does anyone know how much actual force these snap shut with?
I bought a 220 today and caught my thumb, thought I’d broke it. This guy is not
Kidding. They’re for real

Then we'd get to see the power when the stick is crushed=>

Try to move the latch towards the coil it should loosen it self. But be slow and careful and dont have your fingers near the frame.
Any link for buy one of this trap?
Irwin quick grip spreader clamp. Best way to set a stiff new conibear 330 trap. One handed setting. Cheers.
My dog is upside down. It would come from underneath if I was to set it. Am I doing something wrong??

Wrap some ancient leather around that thing and you have a replica of grampas wallet .... gramma said, it even sounds the same when it's closing, lol.
Just got both hands in one least week. If you use em enough, something will always go wrong, n getting out sucks worse than in....
How much does it hurt?

Scale of 1-10.......6 maybe, but for a looooong time, n if you can get out your lucky

Video should be titled "Billy Bob Thornton sets a bear trap".
Good lord! Your all gonna die! This is a very dangerous thingy!
5 min video for something that should take 60 seconds.
The inventor had to have had a twisted mind
