    I've transferred my interest in traps over to you, I love that you show in detail how it's made, how it works in theory and field testing it and recording it. this is life saving knowledge. Thank you my hats off to you sir.

    So this is how to avoid people bitching about animals getting killed: dont show them the moneyshot and instantly it becomes fine. Out of sight out of mind huh? Simple minds...

      +Big Boss "I eat meat, but only if it's been wrapped in plastic" (e.g. supermarket meat) actual quote from a relative. As long as they don't witness the death and processing, they somehow think they're less "barbaric" than those of us who can do it all. They are unabashedly pawning off the dirty work on someone else, someone who is a small piece in a corporation that cares nothing for the quality of life or the speed of death of their meat animals. But somehow that makes them a better person...

    • @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday
      @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday  8 лет назад +17

      I just found Paul Campbell's book online when researching this trap. Page 65 was very informative and the inspiration for this video. I recently ordered a copy and can't wait to read it. You are very lucky to have worked with him.
      Get a copy of this book at: books.google.com/books?id=qSRLW5ziVFAC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=mojave+scissor+trap+cambel&source=bl&ots=Gu8k99UQhu&sig=PIOj4sGYXDeO6atPirAh_rCPorg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis9NS1sLPRAhXKhVQKHUJDBhYQ6AEIQjAJ#v=onepage&q=mojave%20scissor%20trap%20cambel&f=false

    @JanDrake 7 лет назад

    Good video, so your in a survival situation, using natural materials. What bait are you going to use? Hungry, it would be hard to leave food behind in hopes of catching something. I can understand using something from a previous kill, but what did you use to get that kill?

    Quite interesting video for those who are waiting the situation to come when such the way for survival will be the only chance. There will not be any PC nor mobile phones available for sure ... the question is what way the others will choose to get the food in the same time ....
    anyway thanks for reminding us on how natives used to live in the past.

    @handlesaredumb1 8 лет назад

    Alright Shawn, I've got a challenge for you. There is a live catch wild hog trap that is a cage with a door that only opens inward. It uses springs to keep the door closed after a pig pushes it open. Challenge: make a "rope spring" version.

    • @cavemanjoe7972
      @cavemanjoe7972 7 лет назад

      Red Beard
      That could be done pretty easily with a few dry, flattened wooden 'springs' that are tied to the door with spring tension from the bend in the wood holding it closed. They'd have to be well-seasoned and waterproofed, though.

  • @aHigherPower
    @aHigherPower 7 лет назад +2

    Impressive because most people I see making traps or snares rarely catch anything. Alone series is a great example of how these so called experienced woodsman can't even catch small game much less large. This is the difference between modern and ancient man.

  • @SteveAubrey1762
    @SteveAubrey1762 7 лет назад +1

    Great videos! I agree , these traps are a much wiser use of energy than large game hunting. First off, there will always be more small game than large game, secondly, large game requires preservation skills and TIME. Time may not be in your favour. Third, these traps made from natural materials are obviously very effective, so you do not have to weigh your pack down with store bought traps. It's always lighter to carry knowledge in your head that gear on your back! Well done, I'm subscribing. MiF

    do you have some hints for setting bait, do you make it hard for the animal to pull on, or just set it past the trigger stick?

    • @cavemanjoe7972
      @cavemanjoe7972 7 лет назад

      Tom Lowday
      Tie the bait to the trigger stick with very thin string or cordage so the animal has no choice but to give it a tug.

      @markrichards4361 7 лет назад +19

      No thanks..I seen first hand how dirty they are..I've shot hundreds of them over the years and trapped them..I've watched them eat each other...If you trap them an urban area they'll have been in the sewer..Fleas on them help spread the diseases..if you're hundreds of miles away from civilisation they might be ok..But as I said they should only be eaten in extreme survival situations..each to their own..If you want to eat them go ahead I won't stop you..lol
