The rat was getting pretty comfortable in there.
It was expecting shawn to adopt it as well....because word got around earlier in the barn he adopted the house mouse
Brian Samac
He had accepted his new home
Brian Samac: it was mouse not rat
Brian Samac he seemed pretty content in there, new apartment.
Eve Williams it was a rat
Say what you want about Leonard Mascall -- but that guy knew how to name a book.
He had range too -- check out his other release called "A Booke of foodstuffs, recipies, and other confections of which one might delighte if properly baked and enjoyed ofte on a misummer's afternoon should conditions be favorable for such social gathering among those whom delight in such affair."
Talk about long title books. I think he holds the world record if I think about it.
Traps and food recipes...what's not to like?
Ha, ha.
Was probably fun finding that book at the library.
Rat liked his new little house
3:24 for a split second the mouse looked at the camera.
It was at this moment that the mouse knew, he f**ked up.
xD that killed me
Lol
Rotfl.
He's a YT star, of course he looked at the camera.

Man...I don't know what it is. But somehow, I really enjoy this mouse trap series. Lol. Nowadays, I even find some of them cute. Not the ones with botfly larvae in them, though. Ugh.
Seems like it would be more effective as 2 individual traps instead of 1. Cool design and beautiful recreation of a 427 year old trap. A toast to Mescal!
"i caught a house mouse" Sounds like cathing rare pokemons in pokemon go xD
Shawn Woods- "gotta catch em all, rats and mice"
ichika Yui if Shawn was a pokemon trainer, he would just have a rattata and raticate on his side
XD
dont forget pikachu and his friends their mouses too
...
Hey Shawn greetings from India. This trap is very similar to the one my grandfather used to make for his farm. You can make it more efficient by using a spring to give tension on the trap door. Bigger rodents can beat this system.
You should make some videos on how you tame the pet house mouse and how it's getting on.
A B agree.
To stop the doors from closing, you just have to put some piece of foam on the doors so that the foam absorbs the impact and slam of the doors....
That rat is the size of a rabbit. You sure you didn't want to cook it and eat it?
It wasn't as big as a rabbit lol 🐇+🐀= X
I literally just binge watch mousetrap Mondays. Never stop doing what you do.
Can we name the wild housemouse "Tarzan", please?
Dustiness yes good idea
I couldnt be happier that this dude posted.
These old designs are cool!

Maybe set it on something soft that will absorb impact so it doesn't affect the other trap.
Shawn Woods whats the book called shawn woods id love to have a butchers
Question - why would they want to catch mice alive in the middle ages? Seems like live traps came out of our modern understanding of animal cruelty.
@@jamesivey6241 maybe they ate them and preferred them not flattened i don't really know though
there is a big rat blood ...
Lol what a funny rat no Shawn I don't want to leave
Try to add some kind of shock absorber around the edges for I guess any multi traps that are linked together
I was picturing those round sticky back soft bumpers for cabinet doors
Mascall may be gone, but his descendants are going after Shawn for patent infringement.
King Miura Sells a book of how to DIY traps. Doesn't reveal it's to trap the people who use the designs. Patents for the win! (PS 20 years is up)
The only flaw is the fact that it's a double trap, like you said at the end of your video. If you make two separate ones, you can have a sensitive trigger and another working trap at the same time. I think it is one of the best trap I have seen so far. Simple yet effective. A bigger one would catch racoons too.
Nice video! I was sitting on the couch and my dad was on YT and he went on one of your videos of a mouse trap video and i said "Dad! I watch him, you should subscribe to him." He did!, I think
Hehe nice video
From an engineering standpoint, wouldn’t it make sense to have both the trigger mechanisms on the same side of the trap? This would prevent the jolt of the trap door closing from activating the trigger, allowing you to make it more sensitive. (Great video by the way, enjoyed it as always)
good trap ever
best
Yeah much gooder than other
Goodest english ever
Best English good

Love your videos keep the good work, up can't wait next vid!!!!
The rat was like "5 more minutes mom" 😂
I love you Shawn! These videos really take me out of my super cloudy days. Idk why but your videos are very relaxing.
Try adding some padding that will absorb shock from the door closing and see if that will help it prevent the other door closing
My dad taught me to use fishing line or dental floss to secure the bait onto sensitive triggers.
Omg when I saw that rat I screamed
Here
Stayed up just for this lol
No u didn't.
Put a piece of foam in between the two traps.
Reverse the sear geometry so that pushing the bait will set it off. That will allow you to use a lock that is less sensitive to vibration. Add some weight to the door and you have yourself one simple and effective live trap. That would even work for foxes, raccoons, squirrels, etc...
Yes the solution is what you say at the end, to build it Single and not double.
Then to ensure keeping the big guy inside till morning, I would add a self locking mechanism at the bottom of door so once it flips back, it gets lock and does not allow the opening by mere force, from inside.
Very interesting indeed and not sure why the current trap manufacturers not following the same book you possess or at least follow your channel!
A simple hinged stick attached to the door that falls in front of a block attached to the main body of the trap could act as a gravity powered latch preventing rats from being able to open the door at all. All in all seems like a good design, could probably work on gray diggers too.
Hey dude nice guy vid keep up the good work have been watching for a long time
love watching your videos and every time now my cat climbs on the desk and watches to its so comical watching her and try catching the mice herself lmao
good work, Mr Woods! Keep the good work up!
I have a very similar trap (yet I have two individual traps instead of two united traps) mine was made by my grandpa more than 100 years ago in Costa Rica, where I live
Shawn: The Rat should come running right out of there
Rat: *Turns* why you waking me up? Oh I’m free guess I’ll go.
Love your recreations!!
Shawn, add a 1" string on the bottom of the trigger. Spread some peanut butter on the string only. They'll tug on the string, giving you an opportunity to decrease sensitivity. This might help your problem. Keep up the awesome videos!!
Can you do dome scavenger videos or primitive hunting gear?
HONESTO UNO Shawn takes the dead mice/squirrels then throws them out in the wild. He then uses motion cameras to see what wild animals come by to eat it. He has a couple already up
One way you could fix it is put a little bit of foam or something on the bottom of the door to absorb some shock ?
Hey Shawn, the next time you do a Q & A perhaps you can let us know how you ID all these critters so well. Thanks for all of the videos
Shawn put some kind of padding/ insulation on the place the trap door lands so the energy is absorbed by the padding instead of the trap. Like so he sees this
Shawn, "I will now make a mouse, disappear!" THUMP! "Ta-Da!!"
If you make the hook a lever so that the mice have to pull on bait it will set off each trap independently.. so like a string tied to bait up the top connected to a wire that slides instead of just bounce off. Hope this helped.
Similar to a popular DIY trap for rabbits that is common even today. Nice Job!
i forget how big rats actually are...
Its really interesting they were writing about this such along time ago. I find it difficult enough making a trap with modern materials available.
My favorite mouse traps meow and purr. But I'm honestly addicted to these videos...
My daughter has suggested adding strong neodynium magnets to the doors to keep it closed firmly once triggered. Then it would be absolutely certain to keep rats in.
Love your traps there amazing
Keep it up
The ads are coming back
what can u tell me about trapping a mink or weasel that's killing chickens
abc dfg look up some of his videos on dead falls for skunks it should be the same principle
Cameron Taylor want a live trap cuz it would be going in or around the chicken coop
A standard live-catch animal trap that's raccoon-sized would work. Leave some chicken meat on the trigger and tuck it in near the chickens at night.
22lr
abc dfg connibear trap box
yaaas more live catch traps!
Wow, that was a big, beautiful rat. Nice catch!
- Hey rat, you're free, run away!
- Naaahhh... lemme think
I like this for the simple fact that the animals look comfortable and can breath unlike other "humane traps" with little or no breathing holes👍🏼
I LOVE YOUR TRAP !
What I have found that works best for catching rats & mice are the Sharp Shinned & Cooper Hawks & owls 🦉.
Cats are worthless.
Nice episode, great channel!
to make it so both doors dont collapse you could make a rubber seal so that when the rubber hits rubber it stays shut and at the same time lessens the impact of the door closing
the extra vibration definitely needs bumper stops to absorb the impact, also some countersunk magnets might help keep it closed once it has been set off
Great video ....now to add a high voltage zapper scheme to this contraption....
It’s not mouse trap Monday when you posted it but I’ll take mouse trap videos any day of the week I always get excited about these videos
I had a thought on how to keep both from going off at the same time. I purchased a package of 2 soft close cabinet and drawer from lowes. That could help.
The bars on the trap look dope
With me its the opposite, I live in the suburbs so I typically catch the non native house mice. I also keep them for pets. Right now I have 2 and have successfully bred them domestic house mice typically found in most pet stores. They are actually the same species, only difference is several generations of domestication for those found in pet stores.
Hi, I just happened on to some of your trap videos today and I'm pretty impressed. As for this double closing door trap, I'm thinking since it's obviously the impact of the one door closing that triggers the other side, you might be able to put a thin piece of soft foam or rubber around the frame of the doors to lessen the impact when it's triggered to close. Just a thought, give it a try.
Love the videos and the interesting designs you've built and collected.
Cheers.
The rat was like yeah, alright, I'm going. Sheesh!
I think we can conclude from testing several designs, that a double trigger system does not work very well. It's better to make separate units, instead of double units. Except for that civil war trap, though. That was an ingenious double live-catch trap!
Really liking the rat trap videos lately!
Pet mouse was like "oh new trap? Mk let's check it out. Hmm... nice thick wood, good choice. Hard to chew through. Not finding any holes to squeeze through, good, good... Yep seems pretty well constructed. And now we take the bait... * slam * I give it 8/10."
Great video! Big fan of you releasing native species
What I would do is take and drill two holes about 3/8” and maybe put two foam ear plugs in the top to act as a cushion when the door closes. Just have the ear plugs up enough that they catch the door but not enough that the mouse can push its way out. I bet that would take care of the false set of the other trap.
I love your videos I live in an apartment that has mice and running out of luck on getting rid of them
"I'm taking a nap! Stop poking me with that stick!"
If you dont want both salmming you can make them individual...
AirsoftSlo thats how I Made Them when i was a kid
He said in the video that it's netter as a single not a double
Put some anti vibration pads (or opposing magnets) on the edges or corners where the lid and the box meet so when the lid falls it doesn't hit hard. Also put some heavy weight in the middle, like a 25lb dumbell, that will reduce the vibration a lot.
You might be able to use some kind of padding to dampen the vibration where the doors come down, or maybe where the trigger is. Or both.
I think a solution to the double closing would be to put a small pad at the bottom of the door and to compensate for the small gap the pads would create would be to simply put a small weight on the top side of the door
That moment whern Shawn is so controversially popular in mice community a one fan decided he wants to take part in movies and catches himself into a live catching trap... :D
If you make the pins slightly longer on the outside connected to the wood the trigger mechanism? This will change the counter lever movement make it more sensitive inside so you can set it less sensitive on the outside
Your videos are so relaxing to watch lol
magnets to hold the doors down after the catch might make it better. or a weight.
You can also make the hook longer that hooks onto the toggles or make the toggles heavier, I will try this and see how it works ...
You could put rubber stoppers under the door or something so that it doesn’t slam as hard, and that might make the other stay open
Try putting a small pad of Velcro where the door slams to cushion the impact. It might not disturb the other side and it will secure the door
Hey Shawn. LOVE your channel very entertaining!! What if you put felt on the doors so the impact is less and not set off the second trap?
I suggest putting foam or something soft to pad the closing of the doors to keep both of them from closing simultaneously
yep with a weight on the door it would be more effective: the door closes quicker AND it's harder for the trapped thing to lift it up.
A single trap would be good but I have an idea to make it more secure, a bolt that snaps into place, when the door slamms shut, doesn't even have to be complicated.
I would make a set groves into the bottom, and put a trigger stick in it, when the door slams shut it gets pushed in by the door an releases a spring loaded piston, which goes through a hole on the door blocking it so that the door can't be liftet open by larger vermin.
If you put a couple rubber stoppers at the bottom where the doors land it will cushion the shock so the other trap won't be sprung.
You could add a type of lock that would engage when the door slams, and even make a bigger version for raccoons
To fix it you could probably put some kind of pad that would cushion the landing of either door that way It wouldn’t shake the whole thing
Dude! You're obsessed with these mousetraps! We want a video about the ancient tools of work and hunting! And / or a video about hunting with primitive bows and arrows!
Thank you.
That was one chill rat.
Wow pretty cool thanks for sharing with everyone. God bless
I’m thinking another way to rebuild it would be to let the door snap shut, with metal prongs or something of that nature, so when the door comes down, it has to be opened a certain way, so that the rat can’t possibly lift the door open. Just an idea! 😊
For some reason I'm addicted your videos ☺
