Very well done. I call that basic design a platform deadfall. I really like your method of joining the fall logs together with a wedge. I'm going to give that a try. I also build deadfalls that use a suspended toggle in a similar manner.
I like this trap and I even thought it was rather fascinating how you used a wedge to hold the four logs together. Though I find this would be a downside to the trap in future use, because we can see the splits down the logs themselves so over time with rain the rot will kick in which in turn means insects and creepies will infest it. So using this for a long term trap I wouldn't unless I had paracord or twine to lash the four logs together. Either way, both ways will eventually succumb to infestation but I would rather see the trap last longer with minimum damage via rot
Thanks. This trap was formerly used in Sweden for a long time. The wood will last a long time and if it gets rotten you just make a new one, it doesn’t take that long😊
Careful with the channeling debris/branches. You don’t want anything fouling or obstructing the two surfaces from contacting each other as quickly and evenly as possible once triggered. That’s your killing action whether from suffocation or crushing. I wonder how it would work after a snowfall… better I’d image owning to the weight and surface area. Awesome video. Thank you for the info and making it.
I’m figuring it wasn’t a grouse trap in olden times, it was a bear or Wolverine or wolf trap. I would starve taking that long to build a trap that would only catch half a meal😉
No, it was a grouse trap. Traps like this was used for a long time catching many birds. So the time building it was nothing compared to the time it was set😉
It’s not a great educational format to just show you doing some stuff in background with no narration or explanation for most of video. It’s also not helpful to talk too much.
Fantastic demo. I love the old deadfall traps. Well presented.
Thanks a lot😊
Kul att du visar upp gamla fångstmetoder som nyttjades här uppe!
Tack så mycket😊
Another cool trap. Awesome
I'm glad you like it😊

Thank you😊 Yes, give it a try👍

Very cool! I like the trigger set up, looks like an effective deadfall. 👍
Thank you👊🌲

I try to make my videos as informative as possible without any talk. What in the video didn't you understand?
Yawn…
