follow up to the first part of primitive trapping. In this episode we take on 2 more traps, both very different, but both using a toggle release to spring the trap.
best explanation of how triggers work ive ever seen , you do a great job even tho you are doing it on a small scale , the way you explain and detail shows how easy it would be for larger animal or even man size if a person needed to go that route . starvation . bigger animals or war zone self defense
The step pad snare trap is w/o doubt my new favorite. Its simplicity is so cool and yet very effective I'm certain. Thank you for sharing very much appreciated. You got my sub. Smiles
I tell my son.. you're never too old to learn things, just don't wait until your older to learn these things..I wished I hadn't...anyways, another great tutorial..!
I thought the toggle stick on the Piutt deadfall wraps around the upright and then is held in place by the bait stick. It seems more stable then the partial wrap method that you demonstrated. The string just goes another 180 degrees around the base stick. This is also easier to set, in my opinion.Great video and clear instructions! Thank you!
Just watched the first video of the series and loved it. Watching this one and already loving it too. I know life gets too busy sometimes to make videos but I hope you make a comeback and make more videos like this and continue the series. Thank you for sharing! I retired military and am a big fan of survival in the wild. Thank you!
Hi Yono, Thanks for tuning in. I haven't been active making videos for years unfortunately. Life and whatnot, also moving back to Canada switched things up a lot. I have been tempted recently to continue. But the channel may have a very broad range of content as i also garden quite intensively, keep chickens and have a wood working business. Cheers Robert
That's good idea too, but I do have a different method call stickfall trap that used no string and more powerful. The trap could trap more than 50 lbs. Only used for survival.
Great video! I used to teach an almost identical trap to my Boy Scout Wilderness survival students. The only difference is we had the leg Loop go around the outside of the frame so that it would pull the animal off the ground. That way they could not bite through the string if you were using paracord instead of wire. Just an idea to add to your quiver.
I had never seen the last one before. That looks like it would really do a good job. I have never had much luck with the deadfall of course maybe I am doing wrong I just would rather eat my arm by the time I get all the components setup.... Lol
Not sure which part you are referring to...probably not a bowline as they take too much string to tie on such a short application. Sorry long time ago i made this video, cant remember 100%, and i've seen myself on film too many times to watch it all again
Great videos. Just wondering though, to make the deadfall more stable could you stake the upright into the ground or would that create more of a problem?
James Baughman not really. you need the upright stick to fly away from the trap when it goes off or it will likely get in the way of the weight falling or possibly create a space under the weight sufficient for the prey to escape. for instance a small mouse.
@@jamesbaughman8348 There is a modified Paiute deadfall that where a Y shaped stick is driven into the ground. You need to make sure it is far enough out of the way of the log, but it is much easier to set, and just as sensitive. See John McPherson's book if you want to know more.
unfortunately these days primitive trapping methods are all but illegal in most places. I practice these skills and share them purely for the passion of the knowing the skill and being prepared for a day when they may be needed for real.
Put the loop on the opposite side to bypass the kill stick/crossbar, place the trap in the middle of two logs (obstacles)along a game trail, with a stronger string /rope, a animal, such as deer will have no choice but put its foot over the log onto the trap .Guaranteed to snare.
Hey Luke, a whole pile of reasons really. First off i moved back to Canada from NZ, and it's just been hectic. I also do heaps of woodworking these days, and couldn't decide if i should shift the focus of the channel away from bushcraft.
I have been having a lot of people asking the same question. It motivates me to get back at it...although if i did one today it would be in about 1.5m of snow...lol. Easier to find the game trail. But the minus 20C temperature is hell on the camera batteries
Incorporate some sharpened nails or sharpened stiff wire on deadfall branch & critters are Doomed even sharpened twigs lashed to big branch would work like punji sticks.
Instead of putting bait between the point of the bait stick and the log why not just use a bit of cordage to tie the bait to the stick right close to the deadfall? That way the instant they go to fudge with the bait they pull he stick. Boom.
You made the same mistake that most make with the dead fall. The toggle needs to come all the way around the main shaft. If your bank line is on the left it should wrap around the shaft so the rope is coming out the right side.the toggle goes behind the shaft, not in front
My experience is that the chance of a stake interfering with the deadfall is greater than a free standing vertical stick. The idea is to have all the components "shoot away" from the weight so as not to fall under it and make a potential void that the animal could survive in; and escape from.

This tutorial was SO good, in ALL respects, that I was compelled to "like" and "subscribe".
Now I'll go look at your other videos.
Just came across your videos. Enjoy learning something new. Thanks
You have an excellent speaking voice and give a clear - concise and lucid teaching and I've been doing this "stuff" since 1976 . Thanks Mr. Noel .
finally a detailed explanation of triggering mechanisms. Very thorough. Thank you sir! Instant subscriber

Excellent work Amigo, can't wait to see more examples - excellente!
Good spring trap trigger assembly! Thank you.
great video Rob! I also dig the beard, looking mountain man indeed.
Great demo. Professional approach. Keep up the good work...
Nice work. You make a good instructor.
Good close up on the details! Thank you.
Robert Brunston your welcome mate. Im happy to share
I feel like you teach this every week in a class….thats how good this tutorial is.
Thanks mate
Awesome to see a man making good use of his time, better to know and not need than to need and not know
awesome video, I have been trying to remember those triggers. We have a large boar hog needs trappin.
Underrated channel. Subscribed.
loving yer videos sir !! well done :-)

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I always try to make the triggers as sensetive as possible...half the time just looking at them makes them go off

Absolutely! When you get down to using a trap like this; any advantage helps.
I am going to practice it!
Well Done , Thanks

Very cool Sir, Great closeups also! Was that a bowline knot?

For the Paiute dead fall, shouldn't the toggle go around the upright and be held in place by the trigger stick? That is how I was taught.
mlsknnr yes it is. It’s far more stable and can be more sensitive.
Fasten the snare to an eyelet on the trigger rope above the cross bar,thus allowing the game to be pulled up without fastening on the cross bar.
Got any videos of anything caught in these traps?

Very smart idea. To use the obstacles infront of the snare part. Smart thinking
excellent
Nice video
Miran Thapa chur! glad u like it
MV rất hay, i like it 😙🤕💟
Why'd you stop making videos. Your snare videos were really helpful.
Hey Luke, a whole pile of reasons really. First off i moved back to Canada from NZ, and it's just been hectic. I also do heaps of woodworking these days, and couldn't decide if i should shift the focus of the channel away from bushcraft.
Oh okay. I see. Thanks for the knowledge though.

nice
i saw this trigger with a busket made so u have a live animal in

Too Bad you don't make videos anymore!

But good trap thanks for ur good time sharing
I think that my vertical stick would be a stake in the ground.

THAT WAS IT? All this time and you have 3 traps in your trap playlist? What a waste of time.
Sorry mate, life has a way of changing our good intentiins. At least there wasn't 6 videos, would have wasted twice as much of your time.
What a waste of time.
