5 Survival Traps and Snares that WORK! - Primitive Traps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- When it comes to finding food in a survival situation, traps and snares are a key survival skill. In this bushcraft survival video I'll show you how to make 5 survival traps and snares that work. We'll first take a quick look at the simple and effective wire rabbit snare, then move on to the spring pole snare. In case you don't have a good sapling close by, I show how to make a lift pole snare, aka a flip up snare. Then I'll show how to make a baited cubby snare with both a sapling spring pole and a Spanish windlass trap setup.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow making, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

My ex wife was seen snooping around my house. I used the cubby snare method and used my wallet as bait. This worked wonderfully, this is a tried and true method.
Hahaha!
🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣
😅🤣😂
🤣
The rabbit POV camera work is next level haha
I’m putting that on my resume 😜

I live in a small apartment because I work with youth in the city, but I used your video to build a trap out of a soup can, paint stir sticks, and an old wrist rocket band. Got a squirrel outside the window today, and grateful that it's fast and merciful. I've learned a ton from your videos, especially when I started out with archery a couple of years ago. Still practicing towards getting a deer this year or the next. Thank you Clay.
Scrolling through the comment section and seeing a reply from Clay on nearly every single comment is so admirable. Not only are you such a skilled survivalist, but you're also such a genuinely good person. This is what I consider a true "influencer". Keep being a great person and I absolutely love the content. Very therapeutic for me
I try!
Except L Hoods 🤣
You are the best I’ve seen when it comes to explaining and good camera angles. Thanks!
Thanks
As someone who studied marketing and has found the over saturation of pushing materials and other merch annoying, I found the way you included your socials and book quite nice as it didnt interrupt the flow of the video (until I stopped to write this) and actually made me feel like checking out the book based on what you showed here. And thanks for the survival tips :))
Thanks much
Great info and demonstrations. Thanks Clay! I've started learning this stuff a little late in life, better late than never.
Absolutely
Yeah, my son is a little old to start teaching bushcraft to, but. He is catching up fast. He loves the videos.
This is my first video and I already learned more than I did in the Boy Scouts lol. I know what I’ll be binge watching for the day.👍🏻
Thanks Chris
I had seen these types of traps in books and always wondered how they worked....now I know! Great video!
Everyone that watches this video needs to buy Clays book. I just finished reading it, well worth it. Very insightful thanks Clay
Thanks Eric
Great video man
This guy is good!!!!
Thank you!
You are a very good teacher on survival. That being said you are very thoughtful of the animals so they do not suffer long. That is a admired trait for a trapper to live and work by. Due to the food shortage that is going to be at everyone's front door your traps will come in very handy to put meat on ones plate. Thanks I do appreciate your methods. I will be back to learn more from you.
Awesome video ❤
Great info Mr. Hayes!
Thanks for watching!
My wife and I just re-watched Alone Grizzly Mountain, you're an awesome dude thanks for all you share. Made my first self bow with inspiration from you and I can't wait to do it with my children when they are older.
Great demonstrations Clay! We knew you would win Season 8 of Alone from the beginning. You've got "True Grit" and amazing Survival Skills. Love your RUclips Channel. Thank you for putting it together. Love it that you love your family. What a great combination! Somewhere I know you also have Jesus in your midst! 🙏
Many thanks
Woah, he did that? I haven't seen that show in years, but I remember really liking it!
Damn!...I never had to use a snare and didn’t know how to set them....Thanks for this simple effective video!...
No problem Jerry
Wow, I'm impressed.
You distilled this to the very essence. Easiest to follow video Ivevseen on this topic. Thank you!!
Thanks
I appreciate the straightforwardness of this video
Thanks Lee
I love your setup way better on trap ideas than some videos out there!
Really good demo, clearly and eloquently explained.
Many thanks
Very nicely done. I needed a refresher and this was my one stop shop. Thanks n God bless.
Nice camera views and presentation.
Most Excellent!
Great training. I knew one of those, now I know all of them. Thank you.
My first time viewing one of your videos. GREAT!!!!
Great instructions! Clear and easy to follow.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
The best way to be successful is to set lots of snares…I normally set at least 50 up to 150! Some set hundreds of em! During warm weather you need to check em at least daily but when the colder weather comes you can check em less often. When the snow comes you need to have em flag taped or similar to help you find em as the terrain will look dramatically different now. You also need to adjust the sets as snow builds up or down! After setting your snares check em on the way out…you will sometimes have caught one in short order! Good snaring!
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
I know that you probably won't see this comment but I appreciate everything that you do!! God-bless you !!!and God-bless all your great work that you do!!I will comment on every video you do!! I own a cigar lounge for 21 years in Miami Florida if I can help you in any way I will and support you in every way!! if you would like some cigars I will gladly send them to you for free I want nothing and return just keep posting videos!! God-bless you!!! My father was a lieutenant colonel and the Cuban military I understand all of this very well!! I fight every day and help all thet I can and show the way!! God bless and thank you really!!!
Just finished your Alone. Loved it, glad you are back healthy again. thanks for putting out the content you do!!!
Thanks Jack
I wan to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for you using a "stunt rabbit."
One of the best snare videos I've seen on RUclips. Better visuals and some other aspects I can't put my finger on that just works better for me. I like the demo of the actual snares.
many thanks
Really Good Idea
Thanks for the lesson
Wow! Great video! Appreciate that!
Your new book is awesome. Great content and great videos.
Thanks Clay
I just finished watching season 8 and I never cry watching anything but I was fighting back tears when they told you that you won. I once fell into homelessness out in the San Jacinto mountains and had to survive with a broken down car way out there for just a couple of weeks out there and all I did was starve, people don't really understand how hard it is to survive the wilderness alone and starving.. everyone comments and criticizes but they've never had to skin their own food in their life. Anyways congrats man, you really earned your fame. You should do another season man, I'd put money on you
the wire snare is awesome. I use it here not far from where you were d
uring Alone . Works great , most of the time.
This is extremely efficient and for that…..I’m now a lifetime subscriber! No one ever knows what events lie ahead. I feel confident this technique is best for certain survival not only for me, but my entire family. This is priceless learning. From my heart to you brother. Thanks a million! May God continue to bless you and love ones.
1:55 am and I’m loving it!
Very cool skills. Simple but effective.
Awesome. Seems like you could mix and match a few methods depending on your materials, like swapping out the cantilever or sapling for the paracord torsion arm to make a spring trap that'll raise the animal into the air. Or use a cantilever for the baited cubby trap.
Yep, that’s one of the fun things about doing this stuff!
This is the type of vid I like to watch these days, you know, when sh*t is about to hit the fan, thanks for your work Mr.Hayes
Didn't realize I have been watching this guy on "alone" for the last 3 days
😉
Thanks for the reminders!
Very good instructions!
Good tips! Thanks Clay👍
People need to learn this soon, it’s going to be important for everyone.
That’s a great vid. I enjoyed it. Who knows…one day ? Thank you
Thanks for taking time out of your day to teach people how to feed themselves. With the current events of today, we may need to rely on these skills 🤙
Great video! Thank you
Nice bro from India 🇳🇪
The bunny-cam is exquisite.
Awesome explanations! I love these type of videos from you.
Thanks JP
Excellent demonstration well done sir thank you
Excellent video
That tree is big enough to hold a rabbit😀👍
Amazing timing! I've got my first trapping wire coming to me in the next couple days in order to try my hand at trapping a troublesome groundhog (and probly a few squirrels as well). I've wanted to try trapping for a while and this groundhog was a good excuse to just do it, so to have this video come out right as I'm about to give it ago is awesome! Thanks for the info Clay! Really helpful to see a few examples with different styles.
Good luck
Gord Here,
Loved that sapling but I in a survival state I used a fibre glass rod out of a dome tent and duct tape the the joints so they would not come apart.
Found this video just by searching "how snares work." I was like wow this guy looks and sounds so familiar, oh he looks like the guy who won Season 2 of Alone. OH WAIT IT IS HIM. Good to see you making online videos Clay, loved you in Alone and got choked up with you when I saw you win. Great content, very informative as well.
You were my favorite from day one on ALONE, I was so ecstatic when you won! I nearly fell out of my chair when I stumbled upon your youtube channel! I love what you do, and please keep up the great work!
Thanks for the instructions Clay
You bet
Great information great video thank you
Best training video I have ever seen. Thank you.
Hey Clay, we have a decent amount of snowshoe hare on our acreage. I tried trapping some with my kids last year and I have tried other years as well and never been successful at just planting snares on their pathways. Decided to try the windless snare. Used some vegetables as bait. Had to figure a few work arounds for setting it in the deep snow. I didn't get a picture as it was getting dark just as I finished getting it set and closed in. I will post a pic later on. Thanks for the sweet vids.
I absolutely love your demonstration with the stuffed rabbit. Thank you for the awesome video.
I just came across Alone this week (never watched it before) and was rooting for you through the whole season. I decided afterwards to start upping my survival skills, and I came across your RUclips channel. It was a total fluke, but it was very exciting to see. I may even purchase and read your book. You have a new friend if you're ever in NC.
I love this really easy for my kids to learn an they deff work thank clay
I'm really enjoying, and picking up a lot of great tips and techniques from you Clay, thank you.
No problem Sean
Very helpful, thank you!
You, may have just saved my life someday 👍🏻thank you, in advance
Gladly
Love your videos man. Impressive skills. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience in woods with your fans man!
Oh dam, i just bought my traps. My respect to you! Gotta learn how to make em myself in case i lose em or smth.
That’s quite the prop you have there 😂.
I made these types of traps/ snares .. when I was a kid in the 70’s.. then just kept perfecting these. This is a perfect skill for young boys to be thought .. and show responsibility.
Just started your season of alone and you popped up on my feed! Really cool to see you're still outdoors!
Always!
Thanks!
My uncle Donald taught my some serious rabbit snare when I was 8 or so. Caught me many. These work 100%😊
i like the spring pole snare just to much work for a rabbit on the second one i think a pulley would work thorough with a weighed end and a rock with a trigger
I just started watching u...its really nice when u explain everything in detail n show the different angles of the traps u make...definitely will come in handy..thanks
This is so cool!
Awesome video with great info! Thanks again Clay!
Thanks for sharing ✨💖✨
We all may be needing this info to provide Dinner for our families if things keep going the way they are right now in 2023...
I have always been a country girl and believe in self sufficiency
I love anything Survival related.
This Should be taught in ALL Schools across America 🇺🇸
Along with growing your own food and raising livestock plus how to butcher / process safely.
Thanks Again

I do alot of primitive traps. The variations with the windlass and toss pole tied to the tree is good info.
Glad ya liked it
Good Job Sir
Hats off to the stunt bunny. He's a tough lil fella.
😁
Great video
Thanks Clay! A couple of those were totally new to me. Thanks for sharing! Also, I have been watching for years, so it was a pleasure to end up seeing you recently on Alone! Great work out there!
Many thanks 🙏
Old fishing pole I bought at a garage sale works great
It’s all good to know
Good video thanks
I was in 4th grade when I read "My Side Of The Mountain" (the first time)...and I became obsessed pretty much with all things survival. Not because I was afraid of catastrophes or anything though. Simply because I loved history and wished I'd been born before the west had been tamed. It did evolve of course. Either way, I'm babbling. I'd have given ANYTHING for videos like this in my youth! Trying to figure out traps and snares and knots and such from usually pisspoor diagrams was torture to this kid! 🤣 And so time consuming that if I'd NEEDED to survive on the knowledge then...I'd have starved to death. Lucky me.
- Excellent Video - Thank you.
Spelling edit.
Love that book, it was the first "Novel" I ever read!
True skills that help you in dire situations. Thanx a lot.
Thanks
I like the training aid.
Awesome video
I've done the spring pole and the lever pole and other variations of it but never the windlass. I like that idea! Great video!
Thanks Karl
