😂 great comment 👍😂 We used to have an ancient technology that could hold volumes of information that never required charging. 🤔 If I remember correctly they were called 🤔 BOOKS 😂
You cut away before explaining the scissor force mechanism, but it appears that this trap string is attached to an overhead branch with some tension. Or did I miss something. Databyter
As an older Aussie i have eaten many things from sanke to Emu. one thing i will say is just on rabbits and hares. the meat from Rabbits is very hard on the human body to digest. if your going to live on rabbit alone then you will need to find some sort of root vegetables as well. hunters in england have died of malnutrition even though they had large amounts of rabbit meat. it draws a lot of nutrients from your body in digestion. for all your trapping skills it also needs never to be understated the ability to find foraged foods.
Rabbit starvation it's normally called around here. The meat itself isn't hard to digest, any more than any other mammal. The problem is that there's almost no fat, so trying to live off on rabbit meat alone gives you protein poisoning. IF you have to live off of rabbit, eat the brain with the meat and you wont succumb to protein poisoning as fast.
Too complicated and what provides enough force to break an animals neck? I think a rabbit or large rat would destroy this trap. Wish you would have shown us something caught in one of your traps. That would have been very helpful. Plus when your showing a-how-to video please make sure you have your camera positioned so we can actually see what you are doing. Look at this video again and see if you could improve how to film it next time partner. Thank you for sharing.
Can't wait to try this out! I've been shooting squirrels w/a pellet gun in my back yard. I need to learn how to skin a squirrel so I can eat them instead of tossing them into the creek like my dad does.
@@CavemanCody Thanks bro! I just skinned & filled a catfish I caught today and I'm gonna fry it up. Can't wait to move on to bigger game (though I bagged 2 deer already but dad did the field dressing).
@@CavemanCody Yeah I got it soaking in milk in the fridge right now. I've cooked a lot of fish and my preferred way is with olive oil and breading the fish in flour & corn meal. Good eatin'!
Interesting I probably would just sit by a tree and hide and shoot. It since I😮 always have a gun on hand. But you never know how you’re going to end up lost
"...easy trap to made..." Yeah, for people who are not having two left hands and are extremely clumsy. I'm sure i would need a whole day at least to do it, if i would have enough patience. :) But regardless, nice trap.
Very interesting. I’m not sold till it’s shown working… the way you have it, the “hoops” are hardly in the ground. The spring doesn’t look strong. I would suggest using heavy logs instead of hoops. With an animal it’s gonna thrash. Or even jus the spring will dislodge those hoops. It can definitely be improved. Thanks for the concept demo!!!! ❤
Jokes on you… you trying to trap an animal and there’s a giant black one with a long tail right behind you!😂😂😂 you could probably get it if you skip the trap and whistle.😂😂😂
I have watched 2 of your videos but they fail to show something very very important,, ACTUALLY CATCHING OR KILLING SOMETHNG,,, Please tell us all that you've actually been out in the wilderness and have used the "death" traps you show us here,, SHOW US A KILL!!!
Looks interesting, BUT, after you explain the 'scissor' part.. you pretty much Suck at explaining the rest. THAT's why, after 3 years, only 70 comments! EDIT this, give MORE detail on the last part.. and help us out.
Enjoyed watching ! It comes to mind the importance of rope . One of man’s greatest tools for so many things .

An interesting trap, I wouldn't call it a simple one though. Thanks for showing it.
A deadfall is a "simple" trap.
I mean, it's more complicated to explain it than to do it as long as you have cordage of one sort or another.
@@goodcitizen3780 Dead falls don't require cordage which was my point.

Absolutely true.

yes, nice and complicated, but you'll be starved to death by the time you'd get this thing built....
@donsims1941 If only books lasted...
@@DG-iw3yw well considering there are books that are hundreds of years old id say they last PLENTY long enough 🤷😂
@@donsims1941 False equivalence. You can't walk around with a library in your pocket. A smartphone let's you do exactly that.

I thought the same thing. The beginning & ending are clear...the middle seems missing.
Rewatch and pay attention. It's all there in the video and I don't know how you missed it.
@@SomeGuy-vo7we Yeah lol I made this comment three years ago. But you're right. I don't know how I didnt see that. It makes perfect sense to me now.

Brilliant mechanics. Ages old engineering . Necessity is the mother of invention.
good god one of the most complicated choke traps I've ever seen lol
Nice concept! I'd like to see it actually work. UPDATE: Shawn Woods' channel shows this trap and the rat it caught
really enjoying your videos,.....THANKS !!! very educational......love it ............
I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Have you done any of these traps with homemade cordage?
I'm new to this. Can someone please tell me what you put on the bait stick? 🤷🏼♀️
Doughnuts for pigs and toys or candy for children.
Never done this before! I’m going to try it, thanks again Cody, great work!
One I had learned about a couple years ago and recently remembered.
Great video bud , keep them comin
Love the trap lessons!
Too complicated for me I think. . . Honestly, I couldn’t even follow what you were doing, let alone do it myself.
I just found your channel
Great info
Thank you
Awesome trap! Thanks!
What size is your bank line?
I just started watching this. I'm very much interested in these things I'll be watching all of them thanks
Sheer brilliance !
👍🇨🇦

Hey look out there's a big black bear sneaking up behind you .
You my friend, are an Evil Genius!!!
By the time you've set this thing up... then refined it to ensure it works // Your target prey will have died of old age.
Nice comment😊😊😊

It's super easy. Spring squirrel season opens in my region in June. If you dont watch a video by then from someone else ill release one in June.
@@CavemanCody Thanks bro! I just skinned & filled a catfish I caught today and I'm gonna fry it up. Can't wait to move on to bigger game (though I bagged 2 deer already but dad did the field dressing).
@@joey_outdoors awesome. Nothing wrong with catfish. I highly recommend lousiana fish fry if you have it in your area and fry it light olive oil.
@@CavemanCody Yeah I got it soaking in milk in the fridge right now. I've cooked a lot of fish and my preferred way is with olive oil and breading the fish in flour & corn meal. Good eatin'!
Dressing a squirrel is pretty intuitive. If you clean catfish a squirrel isn't really much different. Plenty of RUclips videos I'm sure.
This is a real killer trap 👍
Good trap,make one 20-30 times and you could use it.
Would love to see something less complex, but just as effective.
Interesting I probably would just sit by a tree and hide and shoot. It since I😮 always have a gun on hand. But you never know how you’re going to end up lost
Can’t see your hands, poor visual. Also what’s the source of force that makes it function.
❤😂very good I made 26 of them pretty cool trap but only in survival mode
spring snare does the same thing and is a lot lot quicker and easier to setup !!
Well made there
That's a gud survival technique.if I'm ever lost in the back sticks.out the bush. Cheer s mate
very cool thanks..
All that string work is impossible to follow. Do it again, but use hi-vis string, and try to keep the whole process in frame.
"...easy trap to made..."
Yeah, for people who are not having two left hands and are extremely clumsy. I'm sure i would need a whole day at least to do it, if i would have enough patience. :)
But regardless, nice trap.
Admiral Ackbar approves!

I saw a similar video. This one is much better.
I thought that was a black bear behind him😱. but it’s his dog. 👍
00:01 do we ?
I don't think we actually do homie
Ty
I didn't see any "notches", just angles cut on the ends of the two sticks. 😂😂 A dictionary will help you understand that one, dude.
That bear behind you
Im really sorry about this cody, but not enough dog. Needs more dog. Otherwise great video.
He says- now the traps nearly done and proceeds to do another 15 steps ….hmmmm not quite , def not simple
Do you even beard bro?
..nice beard btw..
shoelaces are tough enough for me.
Jokes on you… you trying to trap an animal and there’s a giant black one with a long tail right behind you!😂😂😂 you could probably get it if you skip the trap and whistle.😂😂😂
Oh Dear
Nice
Oh boy, Rat for dinner.???
Arnie need one big enough for the preditor
I might be able to make that happen in under 100 attempts
Just found him and he hasn't uploaded in 2 years
I'm just going to do this... completely off camera
Upscale it to kill the Predator.

Guess you dont understand how youtube works right now
Definitely a trap made by caveman
yes, nice and complicated, but youll be starved to death by the time you could get this contraotion built ..
lol not really complicated at all
Too complicated, too many things to go wrong.
A simple snare is better.

misleading title. looks complicated, there is no easy to it. now become a 1 armed disabled vet and show us how easy it is.
Lol
Just another wanna be,go figure
