Your respects ad understandings for the surrounding environment and the creatures that live in them are very admirable.Harmony with nature Hansler,it's a beautiful thing.
Great great videos and LOVE your dog! Incidentally Bob...I dive alot with sharks in the water and I could NEVER do what you're doing out there in the swamps...just super!!
Great video as usual Bob. I've made a few of these by splitting both bamboo and rivercane but this trap in particular I don't believe I've seen. Well done brother. Tommy
I make similar traps both larger and smaller than the one you made. I make mine out of willow as after few hrs in water it will sink on own. I make my traps like a mat laid flat on ground with the shafts tied 1 inch apart. When wide enough I roll them around two funnels, if for lake, pond or still water both funnels inward, if for a river then the one upstream is closed cone and points out of trap. I attach rope to that point of cone and secure it to an underwater log and on back of trap have long cord with light weigy to snag and lift the trap out of water. for my really big traps (comercial license) I add few hoops in middle of trap to make more sturdy. biggest I have made was 4ft diam 12 ft long I usually use tie wire that is used for rebar, though have used hand made cordage too but that was just for fun
A time investment in the beginning but will be worthwhile for the long run ! I've made more than a few with wire, because it was available but found that natural materials seemed to work a little better. Wasn't seeing any new videos from you and was hoping all was alright, glad to see you back to giving us good information ! Thanks for sharing and take care !
It’s the same matted, it just a bit different from my native, we used ROTAN instead of bamboo to make it a bit more lighter, and an opener from the back of the traps to release the caches. We call it in our language buvok(BOOVO’)in our native. Very good video, tumbs up.
That is really cool I really enjoy watching you out there putting so much effort into a single trap that is time consuming, obviously very hot outside, and patience wearing thin with the bugs bothering you I would assume, but really awesome nonetheless really good job there Bob and very nicely well done and made!
Like many have said. Glad youre back. Hopefully you were just taking a break from videos and it wasnt anything more serious. If I can make a suggestion. Just keep us in the loop. Theres 50 thousand plus (50k+, 50000+, fifty-thousand+) of us who like youre channel, dont leave us in a lurch for so long. Not saying you need to tell us anything personal. Just say "Hey guys Im taking a break/going on vacation/etc. Ive seen plenty of RUclips channels get abandoned and was worried this was another example.
I was beginning to think we lost you due to one of your survival adventures lol! Glad to see you are back and thanks again for another useful survival video. I definitely want to be able to try this out one day but living in NJ there aren't many rural areas to experiment with :D. Keep it up Bob!
Darn, finally found a video I haven't seen, but the picture was relegated to one small corner of my screen and was upside down. All of the other videos play just well. Darn it!
Highly invasive. Latest biomass studies in rivers that are close to us have them at over 6%. They are out competing native fish populations and I can see i firsthand as we are catching more and more each day.
What's up Bob? Long time no see...been a while but worth the wait. Excellent fish trap...looks as though it could b used for a long time & would really serve it's purpose for a while. What r U baiting it with? Would the trap still work n the creek on Ur land? Awesome video & glad to see U back. Keep up the great work...looking forward to see new videos. Can U show some hide tanning & how to use just the animals own brains to do it with. Maybe how to utilize & harvest the sinew to sew up the hides with.
I'm curious. Where did you learn all these survival skills, passed down from parents and grandparents, from friends and people you meet, or from books to prepare for the zombie apocalypse? Jajaja
Bob. Just a comment on this type of trap. When you build it, would it not be faster, less work, if you laid the cane shoots out in a flat layer, tied them together like a rug, then wrap them around the skeleton? Just a thought as I watched how you tied them on the rings individually.
@@BobHanslerI Personally would have split the cane so that it was easier to tie, and slightly lighter, and required a bit less cane. But as you said, it would have been easier to weave, and with a good knife, Like you have, splitting the cane into weaveable withs, soaking and weaving them would have been longer to prep, but actually easier to create. But that's a personal choice, with the skills that I have though. Not a choice for everyone.
I think I have yet to see a video where you don't run around in the water. I have no idea if it has any interest, but I'd love to see you attempt some survival methods in the oceans (read coastal areas).
I couldn't catch what you called the fish that couldn't go back in the water? They didn't look like the Asian Carp I've seen, or Walking Catfish. What we're they. Silly asking here, I'll never be answered. LOL It was a terrific video.
Are those placostamus fish you caught, good for eating? I thought I had heard they were but I'm just not sure. Thanks for the info and the videos. God bless bro.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say prior military experience?? Your speech patterns makes me think about it.. might not be out on a limb actually.. haha
Really cool! Archeologists recently found medieval fish weirs in Europe that look just like the one you made! Awesome videos!!
You are so smart..I really hope you get another opportunity with the TV show that your eye condition sidelined.
I've got to wonder why anyone would dislike this great and informative video
nice to see you
nice to see you .keep filming
Jim Bothy I agree with that
haters
The TROLLS that give thumbs down here will be the 1st to go if & when the 💩 hits the fan.
I love how the dog followed you into the water how cute
Huck reminds me of my dog follows me everywhere always on my side many a time I’ve tripped over him lol 👍👌🇬🇧
I always love how you take the time to show the work involved in making a trap. Another Great Video....I'm a Fan
Good to see you back Hansler.
Glad to be back.
Your respects ad understandings for the surrounding environment and the creatures that live in them are very admirable.Harmony with nature Hansler,it's a beautiful thing.
That channel cat is good eating size. Huck reminds me of my Bull Dog Molly as she goes ever where I go.
Another good one!
Huck is a loyal old boy, I love him
I cannot believe a channel such as this existed... Very informative and friendly and I'm subbing!
Love how loyal your dog is.
Great great videos and LOVE your dog! Incidentally Bob...I dive alot with sharks in the water and
I could NEVER do what you're doing out there in the swamps...just super!!
You have to admit though. It is pretty out there.
No doubt...beautiful...!

Nice Fish Trap build Bob, glad y’all made th video & shared it w/us !
Excellent build!
Glad you're back bro!
beauty of a trap ! awesome great job
That was a large red ear slider! Had one as a kid and it was the meanest nastiest animal I've ever seen haha
It’s the same matted, it just a bit different from my native, we used ROTAN instead of bamboo to make it a bit more lighter, and an opener from the back of the traps to release the caches. We call it in our language buvok(BOOVO’)in our native. Very good video, tumbs up.
Wowwww.... you did it very well and fast
Thanks for sharing Bob Very interesting trap, I’m sure it will be very useful for trapping fish or other, All is good to know 👍👌🇬🇧
That is really cool I really enjoy watching you out there putting so much effort into a single trap that is time consuming, obviously very hot outside, and patience wearing thin with the bugs bothering you I would assume, but really awesome nonetheless really good job there Bob and very nicely well done and made!
Nice man you need more subs u got some cool vids
I love your videos and the respect you have for nature
Great information -- labor intensive but it works !!
It’s either this guy is underrated or most popular channels are overrated
You should write a prepper book with diagrams and photos. I'd buy it
Same
Lots to learn and you're a good teacher. Always look forward to seeing your videos.
Like many have said. Glad youre back.

very nice trap. That looked like a lot of work.
Excellent video, Bob! Entertaining and educational.
Excellent work!
The dog seems interested in everything your doing bob.
Most days he is.
glad you're back sir
Good to be back. More videos to come now that the weather is cooling down.
Cool 😎 gonna give this a try!
Wow that is quite a laborous tap. Fun to watch tho and glad you shared i enjoyed it as i do most your vids. peace.
Makes you appreciate knowing the time that goes into them.
Never misses watching your awesome videos brother. Keep up the good work.. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️
Awesome!
That’s a cool fish trap
great vids buddy. love how your dog follows you into the creek..lol
I would suggest the use of a simple shuttle or fish net needle to handle the cordage. It might save half a day of construction time.
Nicely done man! great video.
I'm glad 2 see u bac friend how hav y'all been
Nice build mate
nice tarp
Great video. Thanks
The man is back at it
super cool man, love your vids!
great vid mate, i personally would also like to shorten the entrance depth and widen it a little, good trap!
Enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I was beginning to think we lost you due to one of your survival adventures lol! Glad to see you are back and thanks again for another useful survival video. I definitely want to be able to try this out one day but living in NJ there aren't many rural areas to experiment with :D. Keep it up Bob!
that's a good dog, its just standing in the water waiting
I like that version the best. Maybe a bit longer and bigger around if a guy was coastal fishing. One enterence though.
Darn, finally found a video I haven't seen, but the picture was relegated to one small corner of my screen and was upside down. All of the other videos play just well. Darn it!
I had no idea the plecos we're a problem here in Texas. Interesting. 😃I always enjoy your great videos. You're so nifty😉.🌲
This kind of trap are called " Through ", in Cambodia.It's been used for thousands of years.
I love dogs like your
Why would anyone dislike this lol it's so awesome
Plecos are delicious.
awesome vid! :D
Could put a door on top so you can see what your grabbing, right?
It's been while my friend! You are so close to 60k subs!
Another stepping stone. Time to push towards 100k,
I liked it for the 1000th time
What a monster of a trap by the way all the fish you can't return to the wild you should like make a fish tanks of them
Ur Damnnn smart , great video keep up the good work well done
Great video,very educational. Is there anyway you can inform us more about those catfish and why they are an issue in taxes?
Highly invasive. Latest biomass studies in rivers that are close to us have them at over 6%. They are out competing native fish populations and I can see i firsthand as we are catching more and more each day.
Thank you.
Congrats on almost 60k subs your channel is the best!
What's up Bob? Long time no see...been a while but worth the wait. Excellent fish trap...looks as though it could b used for a long time & would really serve it's purpose for a while.

glad your back. your so cute
Stephanie Ellis I don't think he dates middle schoolers
I'm far from being a middle schooler. you don't have to be rude.
I'm curious. Where did you learn all these survival skills, passed down from parents and grandparents, from friends and people you meet, or from books to prepare for the zombie apocalypse? Jajaja
All of the above... and then a decade of running trail for weeks on end in the desert mountains.
nice
Huck is the greatest
He's back ;D
Btw check your description XD
Te Trap
Interesting variation on the woven basket trap. What do you do with that invasive species when you catch them? Food? Fertilizer? Bait? Pet food?
great video sir
you know your Stuff
atb
Steve
"I hope there are no crocs come on in the water to the dog "😂👊
Long time no see , glad you're back ! ;)

Tie in place with this one. Any wiggle room will cause it to move and shift until it collapses. Slick cane.
@@BobHanslerI Personally would have split the cane so that it was easier to tie, and slightly lighter, and required a bit less cane. But as you said, it would have been easier to weave, and with a good knife, Like you have, splitting the cane into weaveable withs, soaking and weaving them would have been longer to prep, but actually easier to create.

oh yeah! great work, bob! i was wondering what youve been up to?! what was that invasive rish again? ive never seen one on my neck of the woods.
Junkyard Fox It's a pleco, it's used in fish tanks to clean the glass
You should go on the show alone I feel like you could win lol
I think I have yet to see a video where you don't run around in the water. I have no idea if it has any interest, but I'd love to see you attempt some survival methods in the oceans (read coastal areas).
Fingers crossed. In a year or so take the channel out into the ocean for a time.
I couldn't catch what you called the fish that couldn't go back in the water? They didn't look like the Asian Carp I've seen, or Walking Catfish. What we're they. Silly asking here, I'll never be answered. LOL
It was a terrific video.
Pleco
Love your videos :D
Bob would it be easier to lash the poles together like a bamboo mat first, and then roll them around the circular frame?
You also can't release carp its illegal in Texas
great videos! just subscribed
Glad to have you.
I'm like number 666 lol. cool. as always I love your vids and miss awesome Texans like you. hope you are well
Wow!
good job I'm not up on fishing as much as I'd like 2 be but you did u say u couldn't put that 1 fish back & had 2 terminate it?
Are those placostamus fish you caught, good for eating? I thought I had heard they were but I'm just not sure.
Thanks for the info and the videos.
God bless bro.
is there a risk of alligators out there in the swamp?
There are always risks. I imagine walking down a city street could be more dangerous.
Half blind makes you a hero
you have new sub
great build vid. Do you have a video for deadfall and other small creature traps?
Not just yet expect to see them this coming fall and winter.
new vid hell yeahh
More yto come. Sorry for the delay
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say prior military experience?? Your speech patterns makes me think about it.. might not be out on a limb actually.. haha
No military. Heavy boy scouting background and high school teacher, among other things.
Bob Hansler fair enough, thanks for the reply.. great content regardless
