Yeah will just say it lol. Good boy Xander keep him up to date.. nice video Will hope you catch something for lunch.
Just say it, MMMHHHUUUAAAAHHHHHHHH. Amazing. Wonderful joy in your life Will, Bravo.
Lol a father teaching about past and a son teaching the ways of the future.
Very poetic :)
Dont worry I cant find the bell either lol. Old school. love it. I'll subscribe just because of that at the end.
Love those tools you make! Great to see them in use. But you need a tripod for the camera. Maybe one in hazel and leather ;-)
Very cool I'm gonna give her a go we have a lot of squirrel
thanks for this video, I will try making this tomorrow
Hey my dude, love the vids, i just watched another vid of yours when you were knapping a dagger from a big piece of danish flint. I was wondering, when you knock of big pieces, can they be used for other tools? Like small knives or arrow heads?
Thank you!
Looks like central Illinois. I mean, where there is actual "forest".
Quite scale-able, it seems.
Master of the Universe, "Whats the bell?"..!!!
Damn, your eye gets a little too close to a set trap for my liking! Great trap though!
What about cockles Will?

What's the bell?...just say it . Lol cute.
Those last few lines really made me laugh. Wish I'd found this channel a long time ago!
Thank you very much Mr. Lord, inspiring stuff as always.
Nice one. good to watch on a boring stuck in the house lockdown. Thank
Got some squirrels around the house already?
@@eisvogel8099 there here once and a while. But I'd rather eat canned beans first;)
That is absolutely amazing. All that from nothing. Just bloody clever. Definitely gonna have a go at something on this channel with my son. Proper man.
We may have to revert back to the simple way of life yet and Rousseau will have the last laugh..he was the guy who back in the day said we shud live a more simpler way of life but he didn't to my recollection anyway say we may be forced to.
Thanks muchly my and your assistant.well played.
Hahaha now catch a Squirrel in it ,You're a lot better at napping than trapping ,.
Just a couple of tips , nothing in the wild likes to step on twigs on the ground ,they will go round them rather than stand on them ,Squirrels have lightening fast reactions and sharp teeth that will cut through that net before it closes , don't put rubbish on top of the net because it will stop it from pursing on light animals .Hope this helps in the future . Great camera work.
New friends here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Love supporting other outdoorsmans! What a awsome little trap! I love the net aswell! Will deff be hitting that bell!! Much love stay safe durring these tough times. Much love-TTO
Loved it. If I had a way to England I'd be taking all the classes of yours I could your a great teacher and a good man Will keep it up I love watching your vids even if ive seen them once they have a good bit of re-watchability.
Zyon Sigil i have done a course an absolute pukka guy
The last few seconds are precious :D
The end was great!
🤣
Every instructional video on your channel is fascinating and well done. I can't believe you don't have more followers. Great channel! A nine out of ten at the very least.
👍👍👍🎄
That axe is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Just watching you cutting with your flint knife. How confidant were you it wouldnt break? And if it had?
Theres a big discussion today about a 'Mora' vs a full tang knife. Both Im sure Way stronger than a flint knife, whats your opinion?
Did you catch a squirrel? Wont it chew its way out of the net?
Glenda Gonser if a squirt was captured, and stayed long enough , it would indeed chew through the net. A trapper should check the traps often enough to keep that from happening though. If using a noose frequent checking is the only humane way to prevent needless suffering. Additionally, if not checked frequently enough, a predatory animal may find your prey and get a free meal.
Brilliant video Will, loved the ending!! 😂
lol cheers Andy
Nice trap!! ironic tho shot gun shots I think in the background near the end ?
Did it work? Squirrel are very greedy things, snares on low branches work. Missing the point but l use airgun! Thanks for making video.
Great work Will. I saw your clip on Facebook . I bet that stung a bit .
JJR SURVIVAL mildly 😂
turn the little bell on so your notified next time i upload ;) great video as ever!
I don’t know how to turn the bell on I’ve never seen the option
@@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival its attached to the subscribe button under someones video have a great day (:
are there some traps, that doesn't hurt the animal so much? I mean in trap the victim will try to get out and maybe hurts himself..
Man, you scare me when you cut things with that flint knife using your thigh as a brace. One slip...
Great video but the camera person doesn’t seem to know how to get a single still shot. God damn I’m motion sick.
I’m guessing that’s your son on the camera. And the like button and the bell ! Just say it cave man
Will is my favorite Brittan.
Corrr Will ,, you've got a pair of lovely forearms 😀😁😂😂😁😀
Creep.
100 swipes with the axe on a pinky sized branch and he says it works good
He's smart this lill director LOL
Great video. And so funny in the end. 😂
Woow it was awesome!! İ will try it tomorrow 🤠
A squirrel would eat through the net

I did like. I did subscribe. Very good. Lovely trap to make, and love that purse-net action. Thank you.
Dad knows more about ancient hunting. But not that much about the bell(!) and whistles of the modern times....gotta love it!
Your totally awesome man I love your whole style and ways of teaching learned ALOT from you Thank You man I'm just starting out and would like to do some of the same type of videos for different types of people would I be able to mention you give you credit for what I've learned from you thank you

Very good LIKE!!!
I really like your uniface knife . Bronze axe is a beautiful thing too. Think I’ll try that trap in the backyard with dog food for bait. There’s chiwawas about.
excelente. me alegro por haber descubierto tan buen material.felicitaciones saludos desde Córdoba Argentina
😱 what is that on your right hip @ 0:55 in the vid? Really like all of your vids and the work you put into them. Well done 👍🏻
I know I have asked about it before but could you post a close up detailed video of the carved bone necklace you are wearing?
Thnxs for uploading and sharing this
👍🏻🇺🇸
Bloody fantastic job mate!👍
Love this , brilliant stuff
Brilliant!! 🎯👏
Loved the vid ❤️
Please just keep to flint working. As an ex forester I’ve seen the results of so called humane squiggle trapping. 😹
your young camera person was reminding you to tell us to click the notification 'bell' that tells us when you post a new vid. :)
They sounded like they had some breathing issues. Hope they are OK.
*TANK YOU FOR FOR SHOW A PROOF OF CONCEPT ABOUT (OZY) 5,000 YEARS AGO BECAUSE YOU HAVE REPLICAS OF HES EQUIPEMENT LIKE HES KNIFE , HES BACK PACK, AXE , TINDER BAGS AND OTHER ACSESORIES CLOTHES & YEWELERS* !!!
I'm only interested in removing squirrels from my backyard. I'm not wandering around in the woods, looking for squirrels to kill. You could use peanut butter just as easily. If you want to trap a lot of grey squirrels, the type of trap is the most important consideration. I've disposed of 350 grey squirrels since June 2014 from my backyard but most of them were caught when I switched to a new type of trap 3 years ago.
The best solution to a squirrel problem is the Havahart #1083 "Easy Set One-Door Cage Trap for Squirrels and Small Rabbits" I used to use the old fashioned Havahart 1030 traps but I have upgraded to the 1083 and now have 3 of them. It also only has 1 door which makes it much shorter and I thus need a much smaller tropical fish tank to drown them in. You have to order them online, since the big box stores don't stock them for some crazy reason.
This is the most humane way I have found to dispose of grey squirrels and I try and keep the water reasonably clean. The smaller tank uses less water. But most importantly 1-door traps are not only MUCH easier to set but they are also much easier to bait because the squirrel can only enter from 1 direction so the bait only needs to be behind the walk-on platform. You don’t have to “balance” the mechanism the bait sits on, thus the 1083 is also a much faster trap to bait.
(My bird feeders and vegetable garden are both in the back yard and they attract grey squirrels, so I place my traps in close proximity to them. We have an Oak tree in the front yard but I don't have any traps in the front yard except in the fall.)
The other great thing about this trap is that I never have any "set off" by birds. Every time this trap closes, there is a squirrel inside. The 1030 trap was frequently catching small birds, which was a huge waste of time. You will never catch a squirrel, if the trap is closed all day with a bird inside. Use cheap peanut butter for bait. And lure them into the trap with a few shelled peanuts. I then consistently take the carcass to the exact same place in a nearby woods for predators to find. I like to think this causes predators/scavengers to hunt rabbits and other small game much less frequently. I've recently discovered that possums will scavenge grey squirrels if you leave them in the same spot. I like possums, so this is a win-win for me.
At night, I place mouse traps inside the closed 1083 so that only mice can get into them. (this keeps small birds out of the traps) I was surprised to discover a mouse infestation, that I was completely unaware of. The first 8 days I did this, I caught 14 mice behind our garage.

Do grey and red squirrels taste the same
"Disposed of" is a pretty savage way to put that. I guess it's sort of poetic irony that you sound to be in a little cage of your own, slavishly fighting nature, desperate to assert dominance in your tiny, solipsistic realm. We can only hope you receive as humiliating and unceremonious an end as you've so proudly doled out to the GRAND (alleged) number of creatures who have tested your might.

People who use big words to try and seem intelligent amuse me.
But it was nice chatting with you, genius
Narcissistic sadism AND an inferiority complex? Fascinating. Give the people the number to call again, Bill. Your vast knowledge and wisdom needs to be shared with the world!
@@miserablepixels2876
That comment was almost as stupid as your profile name, genius.
looks like you went dumpster diving for all that stuff.
