    I've transferred my interest in traps over to you, I love that you show in detail how it's made, how it works in theory and field testing it and recording it. this is life saving knowledge. Thank you my hats off to you sir.

    So this is how to avoid people bitching about animals getting killed: dont show them the moneyshot and instantly it becomes fine. Out of sight out of mind huh? Simple minds...

      +Big Boss "I eat meat, but only if it's been wrapped in plastic" (e.g. supermarket meat) actual quote from a relative. As long as they don't witness the death and processing, they somehow think they're less "barbaric" than those of us who can do it all. They are unabashedly pawning off the dirty work on someone else, someone who is a small piece in a corporation that cares nothing for the quality of life or the speed of death of their meat animals. But somehow that makes them a better person...

    • @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday
      @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday  Před 7 lety +17

      I just found Paul Campbell's book online when researching this trap. Page 65 was very informative and the inspiration for this video. I recently ordered a copy and can't wait to read it. You are very lucky to have worked with him.
      Get a copy of this book at: books.google.com/books?id=qSRLW5ziVFAC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=mojave+scissor+trap+cambel&source=bl&ots=Gu8k99UQhu&sig=PIOj4sGYXDeO6atPirAh_rCPorg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis9NS1sLPRAhXKhVQKHUJDBhYQ6AEIQjAJ#v=onepage&q=mojave%20scissor%20trap%20cambel&f=false

  • @aHigherPower
    @aHigherPower Před 7 lety +2

    Impressive because most people I see making traps or snares rarely catch anything. Alone series is a great example of how these so called experienced woodsman can't even catch small game much less large. This is the difference between modern and ancient man.

    • @markrichards4361
      @markrichards4361 Před 7 lety +19

      No thanks..I seen first hand how dirty they are..I've shot hundreds of them over the years and trapped them..I've watched them eat each other...If you trap them an urban area they'll have been in the sewer..Fleas on them help spread the diseases..if you're hundreds of miles away from civilisation they might be ok..But as I said they should only be eaten in extreme survival situations..each to their own..If you want to eat them go ahead I won't stop you..lol

  • @kyliewynne638

    Intriguing, is there a European name for this as I recall a similar trap being used by late swedish hunters and Irish gauls but cannot recall it's name

    • @kyliewynne638
      @kyliewynne638 Před 7 lety

      I meant gaels rather than gauls but yes you are correct

    • @loopyloon5401
      @loopyloon5401 Před 7 lety

All 3 worked beautifully. I did a lot of hiding of the bait and can't be more pleased with the results. Keep the knowledge coming.

  • @handlesaredumb1
    @handlesaredumb1 Před 7 lety

    Alright Shawn, I've got a challenge for you. There is a live catch wild hog trap that is a cage with a door that only opens inward. It uses springs to keep the door closed after a pig pushes it open. Challenge: make a "rope spring" version.

    • @cavemanjoe7972
      @cavemanjoe7972 Před 7 lety

      Red Beard
      That could be done pretty easily with a few dry, flattened wooden 'springs' that are tied to the door with spring tension from the bend in the wood holding it closed. They'd have to be well-seasoned and waterproofed, though.

  • @traceyosterlind14
    @traceyosterlind14 Před 7 lety +2

    @JanDrake Před 7 lety

    Good video, so your in a survival situation, using natural materials. What bait are you going to use? Hungry, it would be hard to leave food behind in hopes of catching something. I can understand using something from a previous kill, but what did you use to get that kill?

  • @JackstandJohnny
    @JackstandJohnny Před 7 lety

    Question, instead of building that frame to hold the trigger stick, why dont you just make THREE spring hoops that stick into the ground since its basically the same shape you need and obviously just as strong? Does it have to be perfectly straight across?

  • @SteveAubrey1762
    @SteveAubrey1762 Před 7 lety +1

    Great videos! I agree , these traps are a much wiser use of energy than large game hunting. First off, there will always be more small game than large game, secondly, large game requires preservation skills and TIME. Time may not be in your favour. Third, these traps made from natural materials are obviously very effective, so you do not have to weigh your pack down with store bought traps. It's always lighter to carry knowledge in your head that gear on your back! Well done, I'm subscribing. MiF

  • @ldwithrow08
    @ldwithrow08 Před 7 lety

    Rat is good meat. In the old wooden ship, wind powered navies, ships were plagued with rats and sailors caught them to supplement the salted meat which was a mainstay of their diet. When I went on liberty in Hong Kong in the Vietnam war era, I saw grilled rats sold by street vendors and they were very good. Of course these were cage raised rats, bred and grown for the table. Much bigger and fatter than wild rats.

    instead of blocking the back side could you set another pinch stick to the same spring on the other side?

    This just seems like a more complicated snare, it would be interesting to know why they used this instead.

    I wonder if you could just use a loop/noose between the two arched fixed sticks stuck in the ground? I guess it wouldn't break any bones though.

    So technically, you could put this in front of a rabbit den. Instant food.
