Dave...I've been watching your videos for several years now. I don't have the financial wherewithal to take your on-site classes, so your videos are extremely valuable for me. I was able to buy both of your books on bushcraft...and they're tremendous! I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all you have done for so many of us. You are a tremendous blessing to many. God bless...
I bought one of your waterproof folding guides in a Cabela's, and the little pictures just weren't enough to learn these traps. It is very nice to see these in practice. Thanks so much for posting this video!
I remember my grandfather taught me this when I was 6-7 years old. I used a miniature version of this while trapping mice in his basement. He also taught me how to trap weasel, mink and marten, but trapping mice was my responsibility and the way I learned how to do it myself.
Great explanation Dave! Thanks again for great seminar. Jamie B. Made a figure 4 for my kids and they loved it. No dead squirrels in the yard yet! Ha ha.
Good stuff thanks Dave. I like to have an extra upright stick to hold up the deadfall so it doesn't squash my fingers while I'm trying to set the trap. Can you show how to complete the set with bait and setting the area for real trapping? Thanks.
thank You for explaining the two types of traps. But most of all thank You. for explaining were the bate or food is put on what end. This has always puzzled me. Thank You again. Dave,
Thanks for the video Dave, I learned the figure 4 from a Ron Hood video several years ago but the latter was new to me. It's fun to set these and a great skill to pass on.
So, the longer the bait stick, the further in the prey will go, under the trap portion itself, and be more likely to be "trapped," right? The "hair trigger" (I would think) would be the trickiest part, because you don't want it soooooo trigger-happy, that a stiff wind could trigger it, right?
Very good explanation on angle and sensitivity. I often see videos where they use a very steep angle and were people have to push rather hard to demonstrate a release. It always makes me wonder how small game could create sucg force.
Great video! I appreciate the different views and the attention spent on showing how to set the trap. You don't always see that. I'll share on Prepper Website definitely! Thanks!
I hope this gets to you i found it and will now be sharping my skills even more thank u dave would you like to come to wisconsin to trap .. Hunt. And Fish
Very nice, best description I've seen for how to put one of these together. I like to keep peanut butter in my hiking pack for a nice snack, anybody have any idea what game would be interested in that kind of bait (mostly asking for deadfall weight consideration)?
One trick I learned was to cut an anvil stil that has a fork on one end. The fork makes it extremely easy to balance the rock, log, or whatever it is you use as the fall.

So if my neighbors weigh 230 , my deadfall needs to be 1150 pounds? Thanks!
Love the detail and the close up views. Thanks for all your time and effort.

Great Video. In depth and simple. Keep them combing. Thanks. Ronnie, Texas.
Great video Dave! Very straight forward and easy to follow, and fixed a few things I was definitely doing wrong. Much appreciated.
So glad someone is showing the proper way to set.
thanks Dave great vid!

Great video Dave, would like to see spring traps, trip wire with a sideway spring with spearpoint for dear, etc... Would be a great series.
Man, I enjoy the heck out of these videos. Keep them coming and I'll keep watching.
Excellent crystal clear demonstration. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

What video did you do where you showed making rope with your hands and not the device?
Great video! I appreciate the different views and the attention spent on showing how to set the trap. You don't always see that. I'll share on Prepper Website definitely! Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been trying to do these for Phase 1 and not having much luck. I know now what I was doing wrong
Dave! watch out for that cougar at 1:17... I think he's stalking you! Nice Fig4!
I hope this gets to you i found it and will now be sharping my skills even more thank u dave would you like to come to wisconsin to trap .. Hunt. And Fish
brilliant video
how long does it take you to film and edit a video?
Why is primitive trapping illegal?
Awesme David ... could not get my paiute set up the right way , now i think i know why :-)
Very nice, best description I've seen for how to put one of these together. I like to keep peanut butter in my hiking pack for a nice snack, anybody have any idea what game would be interested in that kind of bait (mostly asking for deadfall weight consideration)?
so...could you use such a trap for trapping bears?
Why have they made all primitive game traps illegal in the us.Thank you for the work you do and the training you give.
good tips dave
Great info thx.

in ny you can use deadfalls but you have to put a tag on them
VARIAS ARMADILHAS EM LOCAIS DIFERENTES AUMENTAM SUBSTANCIALMENTE AS PROBABILIDADES DE CAÇA.
good video, remember to clean your lens
So a 20 lbs to 30 lbs raccoon needs a 100 lbs to 150 lbs fall, and a beaver needs just a little more.
You missed the "I" in "Primitive".

Watched. Tnx.
It should be illegal to rsstrict any proven survival techniques that are important skills.
When poo hits the fan, I'll use this.
