As the old saying goes: "Early birds get the worm but the second mouse get the cheese."
The third man get the girl
They quoted that in iron man 3!
Man that's cold. Second mouse shows up sees the food, walks over his dead bro and eats it
@@vueport99 that is what i thought of
Shawn has stuck his fingers into plenty of mice traps but this is the first time I think I've ever heard him react by saying "ow"
Danny Ya Boi Davito Same.
He has another video where the trap actually draws blood from him. I think it was a victor mouse trap. uploaded about 3 months ago maybe?
J Amador yeah
Love these historic traps!
It's the template for the modern mousetrap and the principle is the same.
SlingshotWarrrior true, trigger bar and bow are all similar. ive had many a modern mouse trap turn up in the AM sans mouse or bait tho, the key cleverness of this old trap is using the woood bow to make the spring tension with the twisted cordage amd turning that into a radial motion. very clever
I thought that the trap was going to shoot the small stick at mice
that would be a lot cooler, but the mice would bleed everywhere and be able to walk away because it wouldn't close on him
lol im happy to know that now
addison santos jajaja
Exactly what I'm thinking! xD
Shawn, I don't believe they had peanut butter 8000 years ago.
King Miura no but bread dough works as well.
Jerry Guerra or Grain
Sean Dewar We definitely had grain 8000 years ago my dude
No, but they just used Nutella instead.
ShysterLawyer U my sir.. Made my day
you should put every single trap you own in the barn and see how many mice you can catch in a night
James Nau yes
yeees
James Nau and then say farewell to youtube and delete his channel
BlueStag NO
He'll be out of mice to catch for future videos... for a while
He checked on his bro and then said thanks for the food man! You took one for the team! 😂
You know when Shawn says, "Ow!" on testing a trap, it means business
That other mouse be checking on his bro. What a nice guy 🐁 🔪 🐁
JBL Asutavario what a mice guy. Get it
Blockbotj 2249
Haha sweet
I think he just went to eat the rest of the bait
JBL Asutavario lol
"You gonna finish that bait there? No? Don't mind if I do!"
There's another ancient egyptian mouse trap design I know, it's even still in quite a bit of use nowadays.
It's a cat.
"ow." that was the calmest reaction to pain that I have ever heard
Does this trap make mice into mummies?
You saved my life
No. But it can turn your mummy into a mouse. Try it!!!
Seriously
No the salt turns the bodies into mummys
Rather, it sends them into the shadow realm.
If you buy the premium version for only 10000000000000 dollars pounds or even salt if you live in that country.
It kinda looks like a small wooden bear trap
Clap trap... What an awesome name!
Dave Here just like in borserlands
Sounds like what a hooker names it's cooter.
This is no place for no hero.
CL4P-tP
No rest for the wicked
I am surprised the Egyptians had many mice.
I have heard they were quite fond of cats.
A rat version of the traps would be useful, cats don't really like to catch rats.
Not all cats are created equal. Some cats aren’t good mousers and some don’t even care to kill
They were fond of cats *because* they had many mice.
el gribcho...thats why the ferrets were dominating the scene for many millenia. for a ferret, a rat is running christmas dinner
if this trap is really 8000 years old, then the egyptians just slowly began domesticating cats at around that time.
This channel and the mice in your barn have the weirdest symbiotic relationship I have ever seen. But it works.
Wow. So a 'snap trap' in one form or another has been used for more than 8,000 years.
They probably date back to the hunter/gatherer times.
I was really suprised that had enough force to kill a mouse
Vito vit right it must suck to be a mouse.
Hi Shawn! An absolutely brilliant collaboration of traps and ingenuity!! And perfect timing!! I've been spending time carefully teaching my 7 year old boy the art of wood carving with just his pocket knife for while he's gaining excellent skills. We've made a couple of spears with throwing sticks but I wondered what path to go in next. We'll mouse traps it is!!! Mice are a problem here too, so the honing stones are out and tonight we begin!!!!
For 400,000 subs try putting as many mouse traps in the barn as possible
Alex Ruiz that is so basic. Everybody is trying to do AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I think he should just keep going as he is
Like that movie mouse trap, when the whole house had traps everywhere lol
No Mike oh mouse hunt the movie. Lol. That's what i had in mine too.
1st Mouse: Hmm, what's this?
Trap: *SNAP*
2nd Mouse: Hey, buddy, you gonna finish that?
It’s kind of awe-inspiring that Egyptians used this thousands of years ago, back in the Early Bronze Age or maybe even before that. Ancient people were every bit as smart as anybody now in using what they had to work with.
I see a video by Shawn woods I hit like before it even starts
Same!
Me too!
Finn Mertens lol same
sameeee
We need a human sized to catch package thieves
Outsmart them is very hard
The mice that were originally trapped in this thing weren't entirely the same as modern mice, that's the crazy part.
Second mouse says, "Woo-hoo!"
Player two has looted player one's corpse
I've been watching your videos since last year and youve got me hooked since then I enjoy your videos whether it's Mouse trap Mondays or your ancient tools remake and keep up the good work😁
Erik *When you watch mouse trap videos yet you have pikachu as your profile pic which happens to be a mouse*
Incredible. Through all the hundreds of years of wild and creative mouse traps you've shown, the most common one we've settled on in modern times is essentially the same trap used 8000 years ago...KISS
This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time on any channel. It's amazing to think that 8000 years ago there were still people much more ingenious than I. I love the vid with the trap that caught rodents with the noose and rope tension, much like this but you blocked off all the spots but the entrance. The best trap you've got so far is the big paint bucket and the dowel rod with peanut butter suspended over a few inches of water. And the most efficient trap you've tested but not shown was probably the old ornery cat you bought.
Thanks for the vids, I love them.
Shawn Woods did you make that cordage?
Kyle Clifford isn't that what the comment section is for? Comments... questions. And I am still wondering if he made it himself.
poot111111 its home-made of course.
nop
Kyle Clifford whats with the hate the comment section is a place for questions and ideas
poot111111 by the looks of it I'd say so. It looks like cedar cordage.
Another great one, thanks very much Shawn, love these!
Shawn has some impressive whittling skills!
Good mouse trap
ahead of time I pick him and coyote Peterson on my team when the Apocalypse happens I got dibs
Pinky and Dave Canterbury
And grant Thompson
[ insert username here ] and Cody's Lab and How To Make Everything
yellow cones cousin AND THAY GIY I FOTGOT HID NAME
-yellow cones cousin- why so you can make rat and mice stew?
We could use that in the Motherland
Seems like starvation, guns, and gulags worked just fine....
we need to send this guy to the gulag
but bigger ofcourse
Make him date Merkel!
For food of course.
I think the bait stick has a notch carved at the tip, and the rope is not tied as a loop, but instead it has a knot at the very end, and you put the bait into the notch, an the small knot will prevent to loosen up. This is what I saw in the photo of the trap. But it works just fine with your design. Thank you for sharing.
While watching all these ancient mouse traps in action, I came to the conclusion that mice have plagued mankind for millenium.
We wouldn't be where we are today without standing on the shoulders of what came before. I think people should keep this in mind in all walks of life.
Hostile Princess We don't stand upon their shoulders. Everything created was created by a human with the intent to help themselves and their fellow man, to be carried on in the future to make life easier.
looks like he fell for the oldest trick in the book
haha
I can see that being a lot more lethal if you make the kill bars into a triangle that's sharp on the bottom and they could slide past each other like a pair of scissors so they may not dull as quickly as you'd think.
Putting nails along the kill bar like the dragon trap is also an option, but seeing as the trap can hit lower on the mouse's abdomen, you might risk contaminating the meat if you were going to eat what this catches.
This might even be more effective than modern mouse traps, the upper bow would do a lot more damage than a thin metal band; I've seen a mouse that was still alive after been caught in a modern snap-trap.
I'm not sure of the comments asking how it's 8,000 years old since we're in 2017 are sarcastic or not I sincerely hope they are
For Creationists, the world is only some 6000 years old. 🤦♂️
I got a mouse trap advertisement before this video. Weird.
Typo in the outro Shawn. U put mouse tap instead of trap every Monday. But besides that I love love love this channel. I love how u break things down and give a history and show different types and design changes of traps. This is one of my favorite you tube channels and you have helped me out around my place. Thanks Shawn. Please keep it up.
Its 3 un the morning i cant sleep , watching this Rat video 😂
You must be tired it's a mouse video
I get through the whole week for these uploads
Egyptian technology never ceases to amaze me...
Your videos randomly came up in my feed and I must admit these antique/ancient traps are really intriguing!
Its it just me or do others think that other mouse is messed up .. soon as he dies he comes climbs on his body and eats the bait and runs off... hahah sucka you dead my food! Wow! That mouse is heartless! THUG LIFE!
KK. Love the videos keep them coming.
As smart as mice & rats can be, they also run on instinct more than working intelligence in many cases. Another channel shows himself getting rats, & in one of his vids a rat was killed & another one walked up to it then commenced to eat the food out of its mouth.
soyouwanna mice are actually cannibals which is even worse lol
Mice aren't strictly cannibals, but it doesn't take much for them to resort to it. And it does including eating their own babies too.
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I thought the second mice was eating its buddy's face
I thought that was a mini crossbow.
It's interesting that this operates about the same as the most common spring-loaded bar trap. Mostly bigger and curved with a twine spring instead of metal.
Isn't this pretty much like a modern day mouse trap? It's amazing to think that this was thought of 8000 years ago.
Bowclap Horseman
The Dude epic comment lol
shawn what will u do when all of the mice in your barn are dead x_x
ordering male and female online and start over
He would use his pet mice
Duh....
That never will happen. It would be the only mice-free barn in the world. But no longer than a few days.
Ancient tools like this show a type of simple ingenuity we simply don't seem to have any more as a species.
This is the thing I'm here for- ancient technology that can still be used. Looks like there's a new addition to my Favorites playlist!
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I thought a clap trap was that one chick at the bar everyone warned you about...
A lot of people have already wrote this: put all your traps in the barn and see how many you catch!!! It would be awesome to see :D
I like how the second mouse is like: Yo dog you gonna eat that? Dont mind if I do.
Finally going back to your style which I liked. Kill them mice.
Try doing bird traps?
Keon H I would like to see that also.
8000 years and still cool!
ps. I'd like to see that metal Chinese one work, link?
I thought it was a crossbow from the thumbnail, and the trigger stick was a projectile.
Keep your videos out of knowledge of mouse community. They have become very internet savvy in the 21st century.
That's for sure, damn near every computer has a mouse at it.
Do mice eventually grow into rats?
David Hernandez no
David Hernandez no they are a different rodent species although baby rats can be similar to mice but there is a obvious difference in size
RAGING PYRO so mice stay small? And there are baby rats?
Mice do stay small the biggest the can get is the size of a dear friend hamster but that's it but baby rats are about the size of a tennis ball when they start walking and foraging
David Hernandez Yes, after fighting and gaining experience points, they evolve like Pokemon,
I saw that design in a book on Australian Aborigines printed around 1900. they used sheep ribs.
Seems like you could quickly make one of these with a couple of horse shoes, binders twine, 1x2 scrap and a wooden skewer. Might be another fun video.
Makes me feel so good when rats and mice die
fearsome 123 I know me too
Same
OMG LOL
Same here
fearsome 123 me too
Anyone else hype for AC Origins?
I would put mini wood spikes on the end as well for a certain kill if it tries escaping
that mouse needs an oscor award for being the best actor.
Love the ancient designs
This should go in a museum
I'm from Portugal and can confirm we have these in old-styled drug stores. Recognised the design straight away. Amazing how something invented 8000 is still effective. Imagine if the original dude got it patented...
Second mouse was like, "Yo man, you gonna finish that?"
The second mouse was all like "I don't know CPR, dad, crap! I wish I'd paid attention in the 6th grade!"
Who would've thought that mouse traps were the holy grail of entertainment
Mouse 1 - "Jeff!!! Are you ok?!"
Mouse 2 - ........
Mouse 1 - "You gonna eat yo cornbread?"
I saw the tension rope and brain went straight to the spanish wyndlass style trap. Nice vid.
2:55... Real Terminator moment x,D "Anything in there... Will be smushed.."
That looks in pretty good condition for 8,000 years old
From your thumbnail, I thought it was going to be a mini-crossbow that launched mice to their death.
Reminds me of an old phrase. The early bird might get the worm. But it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
I wonder if this thing is where the saying “shut your clap trap” originated from? Although clap trap in this case referring to someone’s mouth, I’m intrigued now to find out and also attempt to construct one of these
Fire-hardened sycamore or ebony for wood, as well as crocodile femur (you can substitute alligator ordered online from Florida) or hippo ivory (the only legal ivory these days is if it came from a fossil you found like a mammoth or giant sloth) would make it more authentic. In fact, since in other videos you dabbled with bronze-age stuff, maybe you could try out a whole series of Ancient Egyptian hunting and fishing gear in action. Goose clubs similar to boomerangs or Apache/Mojave rabbit sticks, palm wood and water buffalo horn composite bows, axes and daggers similar to the punching dag and the Iceman axe you made, and the various types of arrowheads and materials used. That might be interesting to look into. :)
Very cool. I'm going to have to build one, just for the fun of it. My favourite one so far and the one I've been using, is the 427 year old Mascall spring mousetrap.
This guy's barn must be haunted by thousands of dead mice.
"Ow" he sounded like he didn't even care😂😂😂
*** Mouse Trap PROJECT IDEA ***
- Make a miniaturized crossbow / slingshot trap using the thick rubber band from the NOOSKI trap.
- Maybe use a tunnel pathway (like the mouse going in a PVC pipe) so the mouse will be in the cross hair of the crossbow at the end of the tunnel.
- Trigger / Bait will be in front of the crossbow like in this video but farther where the crossbow will be at the very back.
- Maybe add in a small wall before the trap entrance to catch the projectile so that it won't travel farther than the intended target.
Note: To get some extra idea of slingshot designs, please watch some videos from the "JoergSprave" aka "The Slingshot Channel".
Wow, I saw the break of the spine. JUST WOW!!! That's just powerful!
"The Barn" - The eternal mouse-supply!
Love the ancient stuff!
I was surprised it was strong enough to make him say "Ow" lol
What a beautiful design!
I miss seeing cool stuff like this on your channel.
That second mouse tho, he just stands on his buddies body and eats the bait, savage lol
