Making A Wire Snare, Start to Finish

- Here I demonstrate how I make wire snares, but not the full wire snare trap. There are a lot of ways you can make an effective wire snare trap to kill small game in a survival situation. You can make several of these easily and store them in a container in your survival kit.
I don't like snaring animals. I much prefer killing them quickly with a gun or arrow, but in a SHTF or survival situation, the wire snare may keep you alive. I'm not showing you this technique so you can snare animals in your neighborhood or poach or kill anything for giggles. This is for survival.
Thanks for the info. You are one of the only ones that show the proper way to make a snare trap. Squirrels have had their fill of my bird seed. Now it's Over!
@Franklin Legend Fuck outta here scammers.
Thanks for showing the step by step process of how to make a snare. I’m sure this skill will come in handy one of these days.
Never know when the economy will collapse and you will need to trap neighborhood cats 😂
Took me way too long to realize I wasn't learning how to make a snare drum
👏 👏
Thank you for a simple, quick instructional video! Very helpful! ☺️🙏
Him: don't over twist it.
Also him: twists a million times
Yeah, about that..
He wasn't clear enough. Its not just the length/# of twists, but also how tightly you keep twisting them. Either one will make it weaker, but not enough tension on the twists, or enough twists, can come undone from the game animal thrashing around.
Luckily for the unexperienced, the middle ground is not a very narrow range.
However you should always test each batch of wire to see how tight the twists can get before breaking. How many twists isnt as important, as it simply moves the location of the weak point. if the twists start to double up into a larger twist (like a twist stranded rope, wrapped around a hollow axis) you went way way too far.
Thank you so much for making this video. I like learning about survival stuff and I will remember this technique.
How about a guitar string which already has a loop on the end?
The beauty of traps and snares is you can hunt while you sleep.An experienced trapper will always have more food then even an expert hunter. Nice video but people need to practice snaring is not something you can just do after watching a couple of videos.Thanx alot for the video.
You missed the most important bit about loading the snare so that it will cinch tight once triggered. This is what makes it effective, otherwise it's just a simple snare.
Brilliant!! And as a kid I used to trap every day after school (in the mid-60's). I have a HUGE squirrel problem at my house. My wrist rocket worked VERY well...but I always worried...what if I miss (i.e. the marble could hurt someone).
I NOW have a new method....already have 2 snares set up...can't wait. (Oh...I have 2 pet foxes that hang ou tin my yard....they LOVE squirrel!). So I dont even waste the meat!
Try getting a pellet gun
thanks much sir !! I made a few up and have extra wire in my kits. I tried dollar store wire and seems strong. blessings !!
Nice one! I bought a few locking snares before I realized they were illegal in Colorado, so I decided to get a spool of wire so I can make a snare on the fly. You won't get in trouble for having a spool of wire in your pack if they find it LOL.
Quite true and good thinking.
great instructional. I do have one critique however. Why didn't you make it a locking snare?
Nice video! this really helped me to make a snare
Thanks, very helpful.
Thank you for this video.
Thankyou for being the first ever to comment on any of my videos. n.n
Good video. Keep it up.
Heck yeah! Thats awesome
Good video mate
This is amazing thank you!!
I enjoyed your videos and sorry to see you stop making them. They're very helpful I'm new to Bushcraft woodcraft prepping and survival. Going to miss you.
Sizzling like a snare
I saw another guy do like an 8 loop so the other end of the wire passes thru the loop twice.
idk if I explained that right :D
Fishing wire what you use to gauge hooks makes the best traps
I go thin for trip wires in woods just remembering where they r for people and the direction they went is also good to do in a survival I woods
Your hand very stronger thanks for video
I'm 75 years old and have been snaring rabbits for about 60 years.
I've always used something we called stovepipe wire.
It's a thin copper wire that I don't even know if it exists anymore?
Useful knowledge to have. I might toss a few pre-made ones into an urban survival bag (yes, we have way too many squirrels in this city).
How wide (diameter) the loop and how high off the ground should this be set?? I know, I know, it depends on the animal you are hoping to snare. But give us a rule of thumb for say, rabbits, squirrels, possum, coyote.... hummmm?? Thanks.... Ax
I use picture hanging wire works Great for rabbits and squirrels also mink
Can i use with 20 cauge
thank you that wasvery helpfull
Bra it's Help full for a Zombie apocalypse
how does it trap them?
That was my question. For those people that have never done this before it would have been nice to see you put your hand through to show us what exactly happens when it tightens and how the wire tightens. It's probably common sense and I think I can figure that out myself but it would've been nice to see you finish off your video with that demonstration.
ty
I used 20 gauge wire works great
Thanks because 24 cauge is big
Lower is larger.
Thnkx yes only f survival in woods
Where did you get the wire
I bought this pack of wire from Lowe's. You can probably get it at most any hardware or home improvement store. Make sure to test any wire you use ahead of time so you know it will be strong enough for your target. I've seen others make snares from brass wire also.
Walmart
I don't think a lot of people that watch these videos understand that the point is "Survival"
Well I want a rabbit coat
Wildwood Prepper uh? Fuck off?
Old guitar stings work great just sayin
This snare will not work. You have to stop it from opening.
Saftey Shadow Productions Well, a simple snare like that one will open up when the caught animal tries to escape. You need a mechanism that stops the snare from opening. There are many ways to achieve that. You can, for example make small holes in a coin and feed the line of the snare through these holes. If you do it the right way the line gets stuck in the holes and won’t open up.
Whatch this Video and you will understand what I mean: ua-cam.com/video/PKMtXAr2eOc/v-deo.html
@@flugschulerfluglehrer7139 thanks for the info. new and this he
Guitar string would be ideal
When making your loop use a stick when you’re finished just break it and take it out
20 g wire works best. I get alot of rabbits with snares.
Why do you twist it like 30 times ?
Guitar strings make a good trap
Thanks for the tip!
how does it catch them?
It either chokes the animal or it catches the front / back legs or body there are times you will
Have to kill the animal if the snare doesn’t kill
The animal first be prepared to do this before you ever set a snare.
well here's a subscribe then
In Philippines the water bird🐦🐉🐲
Things men fantasize about with zero chance. If you suddenly find yourself in the wilderness on survival mode, step into the store for galvanized steel wire...
i caught a rabbit!
Woow cool
Wow
Use braided wire
it just keeps snaping
In my opinion, this wire is much to stiff.
Your making your twists way to long, 6 good twists is more than plenty and doesn't stop your noose from closing up. Also pinch that wire tight in pliers at the X before you start twistin it, I can see the curls in yours and that is the start of work hardening.
Can't be to pricky lol
wrong knots
Real trappers use 1x9 or 7x7 cable with a lock and swivels. That tiny wire won’t hold anything worth eating. Maybe, maybe a squirrel if you’re lucky but he’d probably chew through that wire.
In my experience, in the case of snowshoe hare at least, wire is often preferable. A properly loaded cable snare is actually too sensitive and closes up too small, meaning you get way more hares caught by one or both front legs rather than around the neck, and their extremely fine fur often jams most locking mechanisms. A wire snare as shown in the above video is cheaper, more lethal, and humane, IF you are going after snowshoe hares, and it supports itself in position without needing a stake and a wire as with a cable snare. Also, even the smallest diameter cable snare is too large for squirrels.
I will tell you something sir I will put $5,000 cash up against $2,000 of your money we will trap for one week and I will put more calories on the table then you will have in the entire week I will catch in the first 3 days. Primitive trapping will do nothing but get somebody hurt or starve to death it actually helps nobody a rabbit can chew through that a squirrel definitely will if it comes true to the side of your garage not even to mention a raccoon or anything like that.
NO isn't good buddy ..Try to catch something ..Omg..! hehehe . 👎🤔🤨😏🤙
I have a raccoon bird feeder thief who needs to die! Hopefully this works.
So your gonna kill an animal because of a bird feeder ? Before you do you should make sure to
Test the snare by tying it to a thick tree branch use a stool or chair to reach optimum height next putting the loop over your head and down around your neck when ready try and jump down to the ground.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@MyName 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂😂😂😂troll much?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is not a snare
You can't use one Dem without a license from da polease ..da polease say Dem ain't legal widout da license ..but you white so dey won't do nuttin to u ..us niggas prolly get shot
I NEVER ever leave a thumb down on a video, no matter how crappy it may be but for this one I made an exception without even watching it ! But instead of acting like the average hater on YT I feel obliged to explain why. In my opinion each and any video like this one should be deleted by YT. Snare is a blind killer and people using such apparatus do not deserve anything more than being despised. With this video you will inspire a lot of young morons who will try their newly acquired technique in their back yard, ending up killing the neighbor's kittens with ease and glorify themselves for such an accomplishment. If snaring is useful for you while you're struggling to survive in a harsh environment, that's your problem but please keep your technique for yourself ; there are plenty enough rifle hunters killing more than they need all around the world so don't add your own stupidity to the final count.
STFU !! MORON
Aaaaaaaahahaha
I never give a thumbs down, however, I will make an exception here. Knowledge is power. If someone abuses it or is ignorant in its application the accountability is at their feet not this gentleman. Hold the morons accountable and mitigate the spread of their ignorance.
Yet if you were in a survival situation you would be starving and wishing you had watched this video several times.
I live out in the woods so nobody's precious chihuahua is ending up in my yard without one of the many coyotes getting to it first.
I have never snared a cat or dog, but ran across many coyote killings.
I also do not leave mine unwatched.
Cameras on and alarm bells when something is near. Also have something to scare anything away on the very very low chance it is someone's little fido or miss priss.
But enough about that.
Good luck with your issues and I hope you see the right therapist regularly.
And the PETA types appear.......
