    When I was a kid I had a little fort I build in the forest. I used this trigger method attached to a sheet of hidden plywood that dropped down into a hole when stepped on. The other end of the trigger went way up into a pine tree where I had a bucket of swamp water hidden to tip nasty swamp water on whoever stepped on the plywood trigger near the entrance to my fort. I covered the plywood with a thin layer of dirt and leaves to hide it. My little sister came home pretty angry one day hahaha. You've never seen a young boy so pleased with himself in your life. Until dad got home. :D

    This video just got you a new subscriber! Brought back memories! Over 60 years ago, I read Jack London and other wilderness books. I learned to make snares and traps. I even ran a "trap line " in brush near a RR track. Since then I survived Vietnam, raising a teenager and a narcissistic ex. These videos brought me to happy memories. Great skills and a talented teaching manner. Thank you

      If you want a few MAJORLY involved fishing traps, find Greg Ovens on UA-cam.
      He made one out of a mousetrap & then one that somehow had the fish get pulled up into this thing that also chopped off it's head too after catching it.
      Both were ice fishing ideas.

    This is a great Bushcrafting channel. You have to survive. Finding water and food is critical. You will die if you cannot get food. We all know that and lets hope we do not find ourselves in that critical survival situation. This video is very beneficial and I am a student. Will I survive a survival situation? Yes if I listen and learn and apply.

My dad would have been so happy to see me catch those today via spring pole and trigger.

    • @miketully9592
      @miketully9592 3 роки тому

      You try to find game trails where animals have walked so it's real close to your sapling it's just a slip knot that they get caught in and it's best if you use brush shrubs dead trees to funnel them into your snare

    Hey Dan, I have been watching some of your vids of late, and I have to admit that at first, I wasn't sure I wanted to learn from you. However, I buckled down and decided that even old dogs like me can always learn something new or addendums to things we might already know. Boy howdy! Was I ever wrong about learning from you! So much have I learned that I have constantly found myself scouring over your videos and my friend, let me tell you right here and now, I was WAY wrong. I have learned a blue ton from you. This video, I have watched a lot and every time I go out and practice it, I am able to tweak it a wee bit and now, I wouldn't hesitate to head into the bush with this rig and I would come away confident that I will have meat for the pot and confidence in my heart. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
