Bro I love everything about your videos. Presentation, audio quality. History/knowledge. Demonstrations and builds. This is an awesome channel. Thank you.
That mouse most likely dehydrated or starved. The smaller a mammal is the faster it metabolism is so nice need to constantly eat or they will die
Shawn is just so professional and thorough. The fact that he found natural and legal alternatives to whale bone and stuff instead of half assing it with plastic. You don't see many RUclipsrs with that kind of dedication and resourcefulness. Great guy
My years of watching Shawn's videos finally came in handy. I never had a rodent problem before, but I recently started getting mice coming into my attic for the winter. I bought a couple snap traps, baited the trigger with peanut butter, and set them up along a wall under my covered patio. I learned to use peanut butter from this channel. Got a deer mouse today within an hour of baiting the traps. Although, unlike Shawn, I'm not brave enough to use my hands. I used gardening gloves when I gave it a little flip. I'm sure the mouse will get eaten by a skunk tonight.
@Joaly nocontroly yes, they're scavengers.
use poison and you will no longer have any problem
We had so many voles and other small rodents this autumn, that poison just wasn't effective enough, and also bad for other wildlife. Snaptraps work great! I've cathed over 20 rodents this autumn. It seems that voles are not interested in peanut butter, so I used sunflower seeds, and every rodent wants those!
You're right to wear gloves - Shawn's taking a risk not wearing gloves.
Joaly nocontroly
The last part made me lol.
Transcription of note: "Spring of rawhide bent over a bow of rib. In spring is inserted a strip of wood having at the end a noose of whalebone which passes down into a hollow stock to which bow is attached. The trigger is held down with grass on the end of which is tied bait."
I personally couldn't read a thing.
And today's MVP award goes to this guy.
I'll do you one better.....
"Bait tied is which of end the on grass with down held is trigger The. Attached is bow which to stock hollow a into down passes which whale bone of noose a end the at having wood of strip a inserted is spring In. Rib of bow a over bent rawhide of Spring."
@@BigBrotherMateyka Thanks; I appreciate the nod. I read a lot of Victorian fountain-pen correspondence in grad school, so I think that was a big help.
And they used to say MY handwriting was bad.. wow.
PS: Fountain pens are coming back! :)
I was very disappointed he didn't make a whale trap to get the needed materials
Even if he could it illegal in many areas
he deprived us of the most epic "Shawn Woods Goes Full Captain Ahab" story
@@TheEnabledDisabled r/whoosh
He could have got the whale bone from my mother's old corsets.
He tried, but the whale broke it with a big flip
“But getting body parts from a whale is difficult... and probably not legal”
There is something called replying
@Ed Jack Let's give it a little flip *calmly flips a whale".
they sale baleen in alaska it's not hard to find.
The japanese use the "for scientific purpose" loophole to catch whales. Shawn's video is good enough to fit into a scientific experiment from the archeological collection of the smithsonian museum.
You could always send a request to one of the villages, pretty sure someone wouldn't mind sending some
One of your best to date. Love the primitive traps and archery videos. Shoot an English longbow myself.
Getting back to the basics! I like it!
What I learned today: Even Eskimos have a mouse problem!
ROGER2095 can confirm. Source: am Eskimo
Can confirm. Source: Mouse ghost.
Alaskan Experience do you find the word Eskimo offensive because snowflakes seem to be and they keep saying they don’t like that use Inuit
Sassy TheSiamese ok thanks just wondering, also that’s pretty cool sap take care thanks
Historically, the "mouse problem" might have been that it takes at least a dozen mice to make a decent snack for a high-energy, calorie-burning Aleut or Inuit hunter!
Another awesome video, Shawn! Please keep putting in the segments with the different animals coming in and taking the mouse.
The amount of time and effort you put into these types of traps is so admirable Shawn. I appreciate all the work you do! You could've easily pulled out an exacto knife or scissors but NOPE, not you lol... It's awesome how you use as close to authentic materials as you can to replicate these! Great vid 👍🏼.
I really like Shawn’s appreciation to nature. He doesn’t use poison because it’s impact on the environment, and advocates only for clean kill traps.
One question...
What made you get into mouse traps?
I got the same question
I've never seen Shawn answer ONE question here. Never.
A lot of mice and a lot of time is my guess.
Well, he has a lot of mice and other rodents around his farmstead, so he's always looking for new ways to get rid of them. I guess he just kinda liked the diversity in traps and brought us along with him
He lives in the mountains with no technology mouselikely
Love the new part of your video that show a animal eating the dead mouse. Love It Love It
You are an actual psychopath
@@srlsr no, he is a nature lover
@@wizdog5840 I wonder why there are so many trolls in the comment sections of his videos.
He isn't a psychopath. That's how the food chain in nature works.
I like seeing what is coming in for the free meal.
Mousetrap Monday: After the Flip
I love that the deceased mouse goes right back into the food chain.
I love the combination of ancient technology and mouse traps. I started watching this channel because of the ancient tech and agriculture. Been experimenting with ancient grains as well.
Oh, props for blurring the corpse, that was pretty dang courteous and good form, dude. I wouldn't have thought about that, but expect that some folks will really appreciate it. Righteous.
I've gotta say, adding a bit that shows what happens to the bodies of the Mice/Rats is a very clever way to add more content, and hit that 10 minute mark, which is basically required to sustain an income on RUclips. Genius, really.
I survived.
Mickey Mouse 😂😂😂😂
LOL
With the help of his keyblade😂
Trolololol
You won't survive arsenic
Love the addition of the “after kill” portion of the video
How did that mouse die. Embarrassment?
Probably
Like GOTCHA!
A mouse dying from getting its leg caught isn't too surprising if you understand animal anatomy. The long leg bones, especially the femur, have blood vessels all around and inside them. The mouse probably died from a combination of shock and internal bleeding.
Dustin. . . . . . Now I just feel bad. 🙁
laughed itself to death over it.
These are my favorite types of traps! Thanks so much for going back to primitive / traditional traps, Shawn!
Shawn, please bring back the primitive videos
@Ed Jack he did more than trapping
@Ed Jack im saying do primitive videos not old gun videos. I believe there is a difference between the two.
@Ed Jack He still does the mouse trap videos, with the carcus blurred. Why can't he do something like that for the other stuff?
I absolutely love these types of videos you produce. They’re very cool and very educational
Whalebone was used for millennia by Alaska natives, but it then became the plastic of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for Western countries. It was famously used to make corset stays, but also for many other uses where something springy, tough, and lightweight was wanted.
Thank you Shawn! It's really cool I started you with your older videos. Kinda throw back Thursday but on a Saturday. Lol! I Especially when you built bow and arrows and hunt Blacktail Deer. I loved that!
Inuit, not Eskimo anymore; thoroughly enjoy the historic traps you showcase!! Great stuff Informative educating and entertaining
That's not actually correct. There's more than just the Inuit, Eskimo is the name of a broad group of northern indigenous peoples including the Yupik, Yup'ik, Cup'ik, and Inupiat among many others.
@@korbetthein3072 Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but some other organizations use "Eskimo".
Thank you for showing the old stuff again
I love it!!!!
Your videos have evolved to not only showcase these traps, how effective(or not effective) but now to showing what eats these animals after you've caught them. Keep it up
love the silence while trap in action...
Silent but deadly.
@@20alphabet TR000
Moment of silence for the talent
8:46 listen to the water in the beaver shot, and then the next shot.
Beavers are attracted to the noise of running water, and they try to stop the flow.
One of your best videos Shaun, well done my friend.
I want to see Shawn make an Otzi the Iceman style mousetrap that’s over 5000 years old
A 5000 year old flip
In the future, in recognition of his dedication in this field, whoever invents the best mousetrap of the year will be awarded a Shawn Wood prize.
bone wale and wale fat was important in oi lamps , watch oil , and oil lamps as well ! the bone was used for the watch bow body !
I used a cat to catch a mouse that was living under my pigeon roof, the cat worked really well. He ate that mouse good. (:
The cat was a young cat and he was very happy to eat that mouse, I set him on the coop and lifted the pannel and when he saw it he went right after it. When the cat was a kitten it's mom got hit by a car, the mom was 5 or 6 years old.
When i saw the mom cat it must have just got hit a little bit ago because she was still warm and movable. She had 5 kittens
Your videos are very educational. And I don't need to see the pests getting killed to know the traps work. Keep up the good work.
Hi Shawn I don’t mean to bother you but I was wondering what is the update to your 1 million subscribers special? I’ve been a fan for a while and have been enjoying your content, even using some of your content at my own barn. I had the top comment on that video and was interested to know if any updates if any. Thanks - Dan
Hi Danny. You are one of the winners. Can you contact me through my e-mail - historichunter@hotmail.com. So I can get your shipping address Thanks Shawn
Holly crap Danny G! You were just responded to by a unicorn! You rarely if ever see Shawn trolling the comments sections these days. And you're a winner to boot! Lightning striking twice. NICE!
@@willierants5880
I was gonna say I could send him one of my slightly used snap traps if he needed one.
WillieRants I don’t know about unicorn but we can go one notch down... American hero
Ash qelon Eh, he drives a hard bargain: include the dead mice you caught with it, and he might accept ;-)
I love that's you're showing what's eating the mice now! That's awesome.
Nice trap. I love the remark about not using poison. I have lots of mice in my workshop (old food factory ...) and only use mouse traps.
You live in a beautiful area. I really enjoy it when you show the other animals you have in the area. Coyotes, bobcats, beaver and etc. you must be living in the 1800’s with internet. I am constantly amazed at how beautiful it is when you share your surroundings with us. I am not only being educated on how to eradicate vermin but given a chance to see how beautiful the US is.
Loving the longer vlogs. Congratulations 1 Million subs Shawn! You've earned it.
PLEASE keep doing the wild animal buffet
I saw a couple of ads- glad to see they’re coming back. Good work on this latest video!
This is a great vid. and i really enjoy the ''dead mouse buffet'' bonus footage.
Thank you for your conservation!
I thank you
For me there's a large hanging question here, the nearest trees are at least 300 km from St. Lawrence Island. As far as pereod Craft goes it's a Driftwood only environment. So this is much like making a mousetrap out of sterling silver.
Way to go Shawn, you managed to combine your primitive tech, with your new hobby of mouse traps, and as a bonus, you came up with a great way to calm down some of the complainers.
I miss your primitive skills stuff. That was how I found your channel, but I understand why you changed.
I much prefer longer videos like this than the 2-3 minute ones. Good vid as always
Not sure what it is, but I find the trigger mechanisms fascinating. I'm jealous of the original investor's ingenuity. I suppose hunger and need are great motivators
mouse: *dies of broken leg and tail*
me: *FEMUR BREAKER INTENSIFIES*
Great content! My old squirrel hunter (cat) and I are laying around binge watching your channel. You earned a sub so I can keep watching with my cats. Keep it up!
I remember learning cursive in school as well but that is really difficult to read so props to you for being able to understand as much as you did
For a 10 minute vid, it sure is high in quality!!!
Those old videos was the original reason i started to follow Your channel, i love the mousetrap videos too of course, but i miss those reconstruction videos a bit. :)
Shawn, I absolutely love your Video thumbnails with the mice balancing somehow on the trap, keep it up!
Thanks!👍Thumbs way up sir. I love it when you recreate these ancient traps. Cheers Bart 👍😀👊
"Spring (or Sprig) of Rawhide bent over a bow of rib is spring is inserted a stiff of wood hanging at the end of a noose of whalebone, which passes down into a hollow stick to which bow is attached. The trigger is held down with (Prass?) on the end of which is tied back." (Certainly short hand writing) This hand witting is very similar to my mothers but more messy.)
Happy 1mil. Time really does fly🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
In todays episode of: Rats. mice, squirrels, voles, moles & gophers, Shawn is visited by the local "Raccoon"
I miss your ancient arrow making and these things!
I like how every single mouse trap has almost the same algorithm:
-mouse goes into hole for bait
-cuts the string which triggers the noose to come up
Love the old style “primitive” videos.
Really enjoying the motion camera of the animals that eat the mice too. Hopefully RUclips doesn’t decide they have an issue with it.
Interesting, I never thought mice would be a problem for Eskimos...
I love these videos about older styles of mouse traps!
Loving the dead mouse buffets!
I've been a fan of your videos long before mouse trap Mondays I've actually started skipping the modern mouse trap videos but I appreciate getting back to your roots with the primitive build video s thanks
Canadian jam knot would be good for that lashing.
I watched you since the start just for the primitive stuff. Glad you still do it.
That is hands down the coolest mousetrap I've ever seen!!!
That was an AWESOME video Shawn, thank you very much for the effort to teach us.
Man that thumbnail is A+
I love your channel, it's a testament to the ingenuity of peoples all over the world!
I find it fascinating that this Eskimo trap so closely resembles the Tilong bamboo rat trap of Indonesia. It just goes to show, some primitive ideas are universal.
Ingenious trap. I wonder, have you noticed that the mice are starting to recognize your smell and connecting it to danger?
Very interesting trap.
I think the problem was the noose was too far away from the trigger to catch the mouse's neck.
Either bringing the noose deeper into the trap or bringing the trigger out may do the trick. This trap looks like it would work if there the space between the trigger and noose was one mouse-skull length away from each other. The museum piece looks like it was built for something like a rat with the distance between the noose and the trigger.
Thonging is the correct term. Great channel, thank you.
Wow this guy has a million now keep working Shawn
With this handwriting, dr Moore is definitely a doctor
I love your videos, Shawn. I also love reading the comments, some of them are pretty funny and some are helpful and interesting.
You got to combine your two loves! Yay!
I believe that you could make a live catch method by carving a bit of wood for the front instead of the noose. like if you carve out a trap door sorta deal. but this trap is epic just the way it is!
Amazing episode! Number one ancient trap like Egyptian one! Bravo
The primitive technology aspect is great, and makes it long enough for an advert in the middle (this hopefully benefits Shawn!)
I thought the old arrowhead videos were amazing, I just feel whatever you make should be RUclips friendly..... Firedrill with only stone tools? Please
Thanks for that last clip!!!!!
My dads handwriting was worse than a doctors. I have his stories to type and publish. You did good at reading.
Shawn getting back to his roots, good to see.
Interesting video, I liked seeing the primitive tech. I wonder if the trap could be improved by a groove around the entrance to place the noose into, so it wouldn’t get accidentally pulled out?
Shawn, I love your videos. I'm not sure anyone else has pointed this out, but the term eskimo has always been incorrect. They are Inuit. Not too late to change the thumb!
That's not actually correct. Eskimo refers to a broad group of northern indigenous peoples including the Yupik, Yup'ik, Cup'ik, and Inupiat among others.
I like the idea of showing us what eats the mice, that's awesome.
Have you ever used live mice for fish bait?
I have caught bass, walleye, sauger, and pike with live mice on the surface, and dead mice with weight as well.
I have tried some of the non lethal mouse traps in the stores and on here. I have tried deadly mouse traps from the store. They just keep stealing bait or avoiding the traps. I coated the entire trigger plate on a regular mouse trap in peanut butter and the mouse managed to lick it clean without setting it off. I kinda don't want to kill it because I am in awe of its brains but it has eaten 3 sweet potatoes this month.
I love your research in this. Thanks for bringing ancient practices back to life.
:-) thank you for another historical recreation video! These are by far my favorite!!!
Transcription of note: "Spring of rawhide bent over a bow of rib. In spring is inserted a strip of wood having at the end a noose of rawhide which passes down into a hollow stick to which bow is connected. The trigger is held down with a tiny twig on the end of which is tied the peanut butter."
Something like that anyways.
Nothing beats the Paiute dead fall trap.
Enjoyed the video. Love the.after footage.
But it's Saturday. 😂. Not complaining, love mousetrap Mondays just confusing
wow smart trap...that sinew you made is awsesome
