Really good video, always been wary of using snares because of my lack of understanding of how to place to target more discreetly, thanks for another great leason and tutorial.
You can fine-tune snares to hold a better shape & fire faster by curling (loading) 1/3rd of the circumference of your desired loop. Also use a drill bit 1 to 2 sizes larger than the cable. Hanging the loaded snare with the lock at about the 2 o’clock position will help keep it open if blown by the wind or if a criitter should bump it from the side But the slightest pressure on the inside of the loop will make it slam shut.
A handful of these are an excellent addition to a remote hunt/ expedition packing list. Why make what would already be a very stressful situation worse because your survival kit was too basic and limited?
Very good information..! I will add in one thing... in general, snares are a one time catch trap. Most of the time you will have to replace/repair the cable part after a catch. Thanks for the video..
@@clayhayeshunter in your recent wire snare traps for small game video you displayed a method to straighten out the wire again for reuse by running it around a tree and doing a 'saw' motion. would that technique be of any use for these types of traps?
Love your videos Clay but a tip to improve your video. Stay zoomed close to the project and don't zoom out so much. We who are earnest to learn need þo see the close in detail. Most video shooters zoom out to see the host. I need to only see the detail. Also, congrats on the win on Alone. I was cheering for ya.
Loading the snare will make it more effective and makes it fire on its own when animal touches it. Animal wont have to pull the snare shut it will shut itself fast.
i would love a snare for the worst kind of pest they are grandchildren that borrow for months on end my tablets but the problem is they have a protector and that is their grandmother that believe I keep putting them somewhere and forget i think a nice stain on their skin that cannot be mistaken
Go to 1 /16 1 x 19 garotting cable . It is stiffer than aircraft cable and has the breaking strength of 3 / 32 aircraft. Tough enough for coyotes with a kill spring and cam lock , but fine enough to snare rabbits.
Clay, something I have been thinking about and I don't know if you have covered it, is reaction wood for bows. A friend if mine has some apple wood cause he had to cut down the tree and he said he has some fairly straight limbs from that tree that might make a long bow. I have heard that limbs may not be the best because they might hold tension (?). Can you give us a heads up? Thanks.
So if I’m trying to survive I need to have a hammer, a place to bend a washer, a drill and other tools? Thanks for the help… folks, just learn to twist wire and tie it around a tree with bait. This fella is making it way harder than it need to be. Pick anyone who made a snare simpler than this with no tools. The point of a snare is to be simple and effective. If you need to do all this work, you might as well go build a birdhouse. Embarrassing.
What's wrong with knowing how to make snares?, You're making them at home to add to a survival kit, 5 of these in a kit is a definite food multiplier. Knowing is better than not knowing.
So a little confused. Did you drill both washers. And did you thread the second washer as the same as the first.

Great info. I would have liked to seen the hold wire clearly. Better lighting maybe? Liked and subscribed.
I’ll probably revisit this in the future

Up next, how to sharpen drill bits.
Awesome instructional video, simple to the point, from making one to tips on using them. Thanks

Absolutely, they can get pretty torn up aft a catch.
@@clayhayeshunter on Alone it looks like they reuse snares. Am I just assuming that?

Good job
I use to trap wen I was 👦boy..ur right it catches everything even human 😄🤣😂

Hey Clay, just picked up some snare supplies, do you have any preference on snare lengths? 3ft or 4ft? and why? Thanks

If you tie it off with paracord would the animal know to chew threw the tie off?
Thx Clay!
What size drill ?
That good
I think snaring is going to be one of the keys to survival.

Well explained thanks!
Do you have a backcountry college playlist?
Is good snaring with bicycle speed wire ?
Os good tô capivaras!!🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Great video. Thanks for uploading it
Can work with beer lid ?
good tip with the washers
I hate the idea of snares for some reason. I'd rather the animal be given a clean quick death.
If it's done right, it is quick and clean. seconds actually.
I hate the idea of starving. I would probably only use these in a survival situation, especially since they aren't legal most places.
@@rafterL78 In survival situation all compassion is thrown to the wind. But still, we are human beings; we have compassion, honour etc.

This is something I've never really messed around with. The concept makes sinse but I just haven't experemented with it.
What size hole do you drill in washer snare locks so they don't slip?
Man, I can't remember. But it's just a hair over the diameter of the cable.
thanks
but how do you do it to not get in other than rabbits ?
@@billdickson1142 not tell !
What size washers did you use?
I don’t recall the actual size but they were about a half inch outside diameter.
@@clayhayeshunter how well do these snares hold up?
Where can you got that 1/16 cable?
Where are you located?, if in the UK i can provide a very good and cheap link for cable that I've just used
Thanks!
i want buy this
Great video 👊🏻
Supper
Thanks bro
Good Stuff
its a no no on Michigan
@@billdickson1142 if i was starving i would do anything for the meat and even any trap

well, a hammer and a place to bend a washer can be substituted for various shapes of rocks
