I was watching Rufus's body language while you set the trap. He didn't get right in the middle of your work like a lot of dogs will. He kept checking out the area around you making sure nothing was sneaking up. After looking in every direction, he'd look directly at you for a few second trying to read your body language, then resume checking out the area. That's a damn good dog.
Grandpa the Grey Thank you he is an awesome friend indeed
***** A person, unlike a dog, will give you , hopefully, stimulating conversation...the down side to a K-9, is that they bark...thus giving away your relative position...and also scare away, or at least alert, your potential game...
Uncas Grisim That depends on how you train your animal..and which breed you have. Some breeds are smarter than others. If you have a smart breed and you train it well, it will do what you want it to do. If you don't want it to bark, it won't. If you want it to bark, it will. It's up to you what your dog learns to do or not do.
Uncas Grisim You've never seen a hunting dog at work? Take a close look at my avatar. See that big old Black Lab on the back of my ATV? She'd for sure bark at the mailman, but when we were out on a hunt, not a peep. Didn't train her to keep quiet no more than I trained her to point, she just did it naturally. She'd also point a deer just as well as she'd point a bird. Never could sweet talk her into fetching a deer though. lol
You are very fortunate to have one so quiet...we can't get ours to shut up...falling leaves...passing gas...yap, yap, yap...
David is hands down the best bushcraft and survival teacher. He actually lives that life. Discovery really fucked up.
Still watching in 2019 thanks for being a great teacher!
Dave Canterbury I've been watching your videos for a long time and appreciate your content very much for what I've learned in your videos. I'm a beginning blacksmith and have lived in the woods all my life. I fortunately had an awesome teacher, which says a lot to me considering how much I learn from your videos. Thank you sir. Sincerely JWH
Dave.... You're my fave. Instructions always clear...short and to the point. I've watched so many confusing and boring vids. Keep up the good work.
A solid, no nonsense, clear step by step presentation.
As a rank beginner, I wish more were like this.
Much obliged.
Thanks for the tip. Rufus looks like he is doing well. I love seeing him in your vids.
Dave Canterbury beast mode since before Dual Survival
Besides the snare, its the first primitive trap i ever learnt and its still my favorite. Great to see Rufus out with ya again!
Just subbed to your channel and your teachings are more important now in 2022 then ever!! Thanks for all you do Dave
Thank you for teaching me for free brother I really appreciate it I’ve learned so much from you and Shawn Kelly. Much respect
i barbed my nail with a small dremel tool like a fishing hook and oooohh man! you DONT wanna know what happened next! and no it wasn't me the one who got it lol! so yea i think adding a barb to your set up
deff works really good..
Thanks for the demo Dave..... great job!
just watched in 2021. Thanks, Dave.
What a great trap, and super simple to set up. Thanks Dave.
Good video, I like that you give a few different ways to setup a similar trap depending on what your game may be.
great set up Dave thank you.
Love you that you shared the video with Rufus
Thank you for sharing this valuable skill
I thought back to enemy booby traps in Vietnam and immediately thought about putting a barbed shape on the end of that nail to make it more effective on small game for retention. Flattened with a hammer and sharpened to a sharp point with a barb to hold any game in place. Well explained, good video quality as usual. Thanks Dave. I'll give you $20 for that dog right now! ;-)
Hey man bring a cork with you. put it on the nail while you set the trap.
smart
Getting it off might be tricky, no?
Nice idea, but after you’ve set the trap, good luck removing the cork!
Love your channel bro thanks for sharing Dave :)
I have seen about 24 of your videos. Dave, you are a rare Earth Intellectual. We have signed up for your class in Sept! We also are putting together a small group for your trapping course this winter! Please Do it this year!! Thank you for all your years of knowledge and I hope to absorb all that's possible from you.
Thank you for your work and sharing this information. 🙏🏾
Really good idea. Thanks Dave
Great trap Dave. i am going to practice this one as well as your others. Good to see Rufus is doing well.
Good teaching.
Thank you.
Thank you Dave
Great video Dave. Miss you on TV, but understand.
Keep the great videos coming.
I like this trap setup, it was a easy bushcraft project to make two of them this morning, I made one with hickory and the other with cedar.
thanks again for FOOD for thought lloll !! Blessings.
very excellent demonstration, thanks.
Excellent Video,
Lee
I worked as a highlead logger before,and we use that technique of twisting a stick between 2 cables that are wraped around 2 or more trees to offer support when the logs are hauled down or up the hill to the landing,never thought of making a trap out of if before, but i can see how it ws effective,we use about a 4-5 foot stick and have to twist it very tight,i had a friend of mine accidently let the stick go as he was twisting it and it knocked him out,lol.
Nice trap setup Dave Canterbury 👍☘️😎
Thanks for your videos buddy....
Dave, that one is totally wicked good. Real nice.
Not a big RUclips watcher, but happened to come across your channel while I was searching for something, and ended up watching quite a few of your videos. New fan, very informative no nonsense education. Just thought I'd add to this trap lesson. If you don't have nails available, I've used a small log with the V of a protruding branch carved down and sharpened. And I've also used a carved spike attached with cordage. I've never actually killed an animal with this method, just practiced making them several times. I think another good addition would be carving a barb into the spike to prevent the animal from pulling loose if not killed immediately? Edit, just noticed someone already mentioned the barb idea. Great minds...
Thank you. Excellent
Still here in 2023! You have no idea how influential you have been in my life.
Wow great idea. I think this setup could be used as the spring in a snare as well. Simple and effective, I like it.
Great video ... Thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the very informative video.
Simple and seems like it would be pretty damn effective.
Also beautiful dog.
Cool, I am reading your book expert bushcraft now and it's really good
a barbed removable tip and some cordage and you can reel in your squirrels and rabbits:)
Thank you for your videos
nice, thanks dave
Photobombed BIG TIME!!!! Awesome cameo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you sir are a true genius very well done
I'm loving this promontory peg trap trigger series!
I made one of these after seeing this video, but i sawed a small slot in the end where the nail goes, and inserted a steel 2 blade trade point. instant kill. Nearly took the head off a rabbit. I'm making one now with a hole awled out, to accept a screw in broadhead.
wow great idea
Cool, Kyle, but be careful about confessing to crimes online. We are not as difficult to find as we think we are and people have been arrested in the past for things they have said online. These types of traps are for emergency survival and are usually illegal under normal circumstances.
I like your thinking, will have to try that. Instant kill is always one of my goals.
David said it was a good idea to add a frog gig into your normal day go bag. I now carry 3 frog gigs slightly modified for making traps with.
For me 3 heads has worked better than just one striking point, but i am going to try your idea out.
Hi Dave - stupid question from a total newbie. You point out that primitive trapping is illegal in most places; looks like it's illegal in my state (TX) on public land as I read the rules and regs. So I guess a man's practice is limited to private property where he has the owner's permission?
Your channel is fantastic and your store offers tremendous items and first-class service. Thanks for sharing so much hard-earned knowledge.
When the 10$ bill is worth 1cent, we ALL are gonna need to know some of this stuff.
Thanx brother.
peace
Wow that would be a great place to add a broad head arrow point
great series of vids enjoying it and will practice all these traps

Interesting one Dave. Would you see any downside to wedging a T-bar between the two trees, just above apex of the spiked club? I was thinking it might serve to retain tension overnight, especially if the trees are less than a few inches in diameter.
Nice trap...simple, few parts, and builds on the well proven promontory peg trigger. You could also make this work off the Paiute trigger... I think.
good video. I have seen this type of trap before, but did not know how to trigger it. side note, I really like your dog. he looks like a great hike companion. give him a good scratch behind the ears from me,please.
Very clever trap easy to make and i think very effective.thanks brother nice video
Thank you
That was awesome thank you
Dave do you have a book on the type of traps you make? i once saw you make a treadall trap that caught a wild pig on dual surviver
would like to see stuff like that. take care keep your video's coming.
Also, wow, only 10 dislikes with a title like that? I think Dave is onto something.
Hi Dave, I'm brasilian and see you in a Discovery channel. Great demonstration.
Great video, Dave. I really love this trap and trigger. I think this is my new second favorite primitive trap. Spring traps being my favorite. Please show a good spring trap trigger next. I know there are several, so I am curious to see which you would use and why.

🤔What the heck is a spring trap? ... is that that trap that always shoots wil-e coyote off the cliff on the roadrunner cartoon?
GOOD SAFETY TRICK FOR THIS: You could also carry a piece of cork so that you can put it over the tip of the nail when you are setting all this up & then take it off to "arm" the trap. Wood with a pre-drilled hole in it would probably work well, since cork isn't too easy to find in the woods if you lose the piece you brought. Just figured I'd mention it, since getting "nailed" in the woods can be a huge problem & it would really suck for things to fall apart from a slip like that.
You could put something over or covering the nail until your ready to set the trap. Like a piece of foam or rubber. Great video thought I will never forget this. I hope I never get so hungry that I have to use such a trap🤔.
I am thinking about doing some outdoor/wilderness work. I think I would be able to employ many of these simple trapping techniques and structures. Thank you.
Great video. The simpler the better when it comes to a reliable trap used in a survival situation. Looks like it would be easy to sharpen a stick and attach it to the end.
Why didn't I know about this? Thanks!
dave, have you ever used old guitar or banjo strings for a snare type trap, the reason I ask is I have access to a lot of these from my friends band.
you mentioned other parts in this series - it might do well to number them (i wandered into this video, which apparently isn't the first in the series)
this is a great trap... thanks for showing it... didn't miss one detail of it... i wonder how much weight it can hold ... guess that relys on the material used
Id damn sure love to know more about traps! Ill check back with your trap vids
Good video I'm a beginer and like these eze and simply traps,do you recommend any other video of yours about trapping?
Hi Dave, just wondering what your thoughts would be on using a barbs nail, etc., and a counter weight on the killing device? Thanks you Bob
Mr. Burleigh has a good point put a stick on the backside of the 2 saplings and the "wacker" rests against it, pressing the stick against the 2 saplings so it can't move forward until you are ready to set it, no? fantastic tips as usual. Thanks Dave.
Great trap I love it. Dave, quick question, what type of dog breed is your dog???
I’m here in 2022 thank you sir love you man hope your well 🌷🥀
Thumbs up for that awesome dog!
Really smart trap i like that it is easier to set than many other traps
I have noticed this in a few of your videos, Dave. At around 7:00 (on this one), all sound disappears. I cannot help wondering whether that is the UK's powers that be trying to censor what we get to see, just a purely coincidental technical glitch or whether you took the sound out completely for a while for a specific reason?!?!?
That all aside, great video and I look forward to seeing and hopefully hearing the rest of your videos.
Well thought!
Could this optimized by setting the height of the bait stick (lower portion of trigger) to be in line of the swing arc of the killing point? This would provide the best chance of a head strike, if the lower portion of the trigger was too short then the kill point may just swoosh by and miss the game.
good info
I'm sure you've probably mentioned this in previous videos, but is there a primitive trap making book that you recommend?
awesome!
Simple and effective. A beautiful trap.
what kind of hound you got there? I got a red bone blue tick cross looks similar with longer ears
Dave, enjoy all your videos very informitive, question could you place a small hole in the middle of the 1.25" piece of wood just below the notch to attach the stick so you could tye it off insted of the way you did. I think it would be stronger then just lashing it?
I wish I had a big dog like Rufus please have him in more videos.
That's a good one, very simple and easy to make in a survival situation. use a branch and make a spike out of one of the limbs
Thanks Dave I have a couple of small problems however I’m a newbie to this channel and a lot of the things that you mention like triggers and so forth need to be spelled out for me. I think your video would be enhanced if there were close-ups of the device I thought The explanation was way too fast and not explicit enough for me. Then lastly forgive my critical comments, but I would have liked to see the whole thing and not just your verbal description I would’ve like to see the back and blocked off the front business end baited as it would be and how the final look would be when you walked away from it. Thank you for the informative video I just need a few more puzzle parts before I can understand completely how you fashioned all the parts. Peace.
Hey Dave how much bulldog is in old rufuss there do ya know?
What would be the best way to get a sharp stick in? / With just a knife.
Just split the wood and stick it between?
Dave, What type of dog is Rufus? Great video, again.
I love this idea
It's a Kleptsy trap and they are my go to trap for just about everything, they can be maid in all kind of variations and are devastating on harvesting food to eat... In a survival situation as Dave stated though
