This trap was used by the Vietcong in the Vietnam war but I did it stretched so far into the past and I did not know it was used to catch animals too. That's for the Cool video!
My brother actually made a trap like this but with long/thin rusted nails. He sharpened the points and stuck them into a small wooden board. He dug a hole in the ground and placed it there and covered it with leaves/ dirt. It was scary because it was virtually invisible. The only way you could see it was if you laid flat on the ground. (We took it apart straight after)
They were used in Central America Honduras and nicarauga !! First hand knowledge of that our j boots had thin steel plates that protected our feet thank God but bamboo is like razors take care brother
Some 60-year-old war vet probably got flashbacks from Vietnam while watching this. I found this greatly informative and find it criminal that you call yourself a "Wannabe" Bushcrafter.
I look forward to your new videos as much if not more than I look forward to a new Primitive Technology video. Honestly, they are so informative and to the point. One question, how do you keep your Knife so sharp?
Kamen Rider Silver hey thanks for watching! I try to learn something new as well as to educate with these videos. I usually sharpen my mora on a $5 sharpening stone from Home Depot and strop it on a leather strop that I made myself.
everybody's gangsta and you actually crafted a vietnam war trap by youtubes help and walks away to show your buddies until you forgot where you placed it and read about an impale accident incident in the newspaper the day after.
@@WannabeBushcrafter i understand, i like low-tech warfare so i read about punji traps. it is easy to build and it's a terrifying invisible enemy. it was interesting to watch it. i would never craft it unless i had a G R E A T reason to it. like running scarse on food or had a stalker that wanted to kill me etc.
Thanks for watching! Being that these stakes are made out of green hard wood, I think it would be unlikely to damage tires or transmissions unless you make the trench super deep and the stakes very thick.
It was just I read and seen how the Finnish soldiers used LOGs to disable some Soviet AFV and light tanks in the 1940 Winter War and I came to thinking - could heat treated and hardened Punji stakes also do the trick or the fact even a light tank being in the 10-20 ton range is far too heavy ....
Now that you mention it - the fact the NLF in the war were quite creative in using and improvising devises ... though I wondered why they never made perhaps an exploding punji stake trap - that would have been nasty - to have literally shit flying (shit covered stakes) at who knows what speed and striking a victim ...
but then again how about NO WAR or NO NEED for war in the first place :S given I can't imagine during peacetime if we put aside extremists, Nationalists, extreme far right or left nuts or just someone who clearly never heard of mental health aside - I can't imagine anyone wanting to have a war
wow i love this idea so much! that i built a harmless punji trap in my school sand pit (minus the poo spikes!) i coverd it with sand and built a cute little sandcastle on top so any mean year six can have a strong dose of karma.
They call these kinds of traps "Deadfall" traps based on the fact that the traps effectiveness is based solely on the deadweight of the animal/human that falls victim to it when they fall into the trap.
Absolutely not. This is a dangerous trap and should NEVER be left activated. The only scenario that warrants making something like this is if your life is on the line.

kabaruser yeah this trap design is viciously effective. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Glad you found it useful!
That’s terrifyingly easy to make
Thanks for watching!
A very excellent tool for area denial, like a minefield, but much cheaper and easier to set up, and harder to detect.
Couldn't agree more!
Should be used on tax collectors
Lol, nah we wouldn't want to use this on people. This could be very useful imho for survival trapping.
So we have to watch ur blank expression throughout lol 😂
Thanks for watching!
Can you make bamboo sharp stick with a ball attach together. Cool to hear.
Thanks for watching! That's an interesting idea, I'll look into it!

Awesome video seen your post on BBC Facebook, subbed ! I like how you explained the history behind the trap awesome.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks for watching! It is super important to NEVER use this trap unless it's a life or death survival situation.

Are you sure you’re not from New Zealand because you are very good and fast at digging holes!
Lol I'm definitely not from New Zealand.
@@WannabeBushcrafter lol
Would this also have been effective on jeeps and cars in damaging tires or transmission? Or even a Tank?

Thanks for watching! Remember that this trap is dangerous and should only be considered in a life or death survival situation.
Don't you have to burn the sticks in fire before using them ?
If you fire harden them it would make the trap more effective.
Good 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Natures landmine if stuck on a island this might be useful
Thanks for watching! It's definitely a time tested primitive trap design that is good to know.
my grandpa lost his arm to a punji stick trap
Yikes thanks for sharing your story.
They call these kinds of traps "Deadfall" traps based on the fact that the traps effectiveness is based solely on the deadweight of the animal/human that falls victim to it when they fall into the trap.
Yes these are very effective traps. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it thank you
Thx for watching
Can you make these with any kind of stick or just bamboo
Thanks for watching, any hardwood sticks would work!
Ok I’m gonna use it to take care of some “pests”
He left it. He probably constantly relishes wondering whether his trap fucked someone up.
Absolutely not. This is a dangerous trap and should NEVER be left activated. The only scenario that warrants making something like this is if your life is on the line.
Don't forget to make a bow plissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Michael Juriano thanks for watching. I'll get around to making a primitive bow one of these days. :)
