The last few seconds are precious :D

Amazing work Will!

Every instructional video on your channel is fascinating and well done. I can't believe you don't have more followers. Great channel! A nine out of ten at the very least.

Brilliant camera work and an excellent trap, well done.

Will love this stuff need learn

Love this , brilliant stuff

Great video. And so funny in the end. 😂

Dad knows more about ancient hunting. But not that much about the bell(!) and whistles of the modern times....gotta love it!

Love those tools you make! Great to see them in use. But you need a tripod for the camera. Maybe one in hazel and leather ;-)

Lol loved the video man.

thanks for this video, I will try making this tomorrow

Thnxs for uploading and sharing this 👍🏻🇺🇸

Thank you!

Loved the vid ❤️

Love it

excelente. me alegro por haber descubierto tan buen material.felicitaciones saludos desde Córdoba Argentina

Brilliant!! 🎯👏

I did like. I did subscribe. Very good. Lovely trap to make, and love that purse-net action. Thank you.

I really like your uniface knife . Bronze axe is a beautiful thing too. Think I’ll try that trap in the backyard with dog food for bait. There’s chiwawas about.

Looks like central Illinois. I mean, where there is actual "forest".

Very cool I'm gonna give her a go we have a lot of squirrel

Great work Will. I saw your clip on Facebook . I bet that stung a bit .

Very good LIKE!!!

Woow it was awesome!! İ will try it tomorrow 🤠

We may have to revert back to the simple way of life yet and Rousseau will have the last laugh..he was the guy who back in the day said we shud live a more simpler way of life but he didn't to my recollection anyway say we may be forced to. Thanks muchly my and your assistant.well played.

Will is my favorite Brittan.

Hey my dude, love the vids, i just watched another vid of yours when you were knapping a dagger from a big piece of danish flint. I was wondering, when you knock of big pieces, can they be used for other tools? Like small knives or arrow heads?

Thumbs up!!! Clark

Hahaha now catch a Squirrel in it ,You're a lot better at napping than trapping ,. Just a couple of tips , nothing in the wild likes to step on twigs on the ground ,they will go round them rather than stand on them ,Squirrels have lightening fast reactions and sharp teeth that will cut through that net before it closes , don't put rubbish on top of the net because it will stop it from pursing on light animals .Hope this helps in the future . Great camera work.

Corrr Will ,, you've got a pair of lovely forearms 😀😁😂😂😁😀

😱 what is that on your right hip @ 0:55 in the vid? Really like all of your vids and the work you put into them. Well done 👍🏻

Just watching you cutting with your flint knife. How confidant were you it wouldnt break? And if it had? Theres a big discussion today about a 'Mora' vs a full tang knife. Both Im sure Way stronger than a flint knife, whats your opinion?

👍👍👍🎄

I’m guessing that’s your son on the camera. And the like button and the bell ! Just say it cave man

He's smart this lill director LOL

turn the little bell on so your notified next time i upload ;) great video as ever!

Nice trap!! ironic tho shot gun shots I think in the background near the end ?

Your totally awesome man I love your whole style and ways of teaching learned ALOT from you Thank You man I'm just starting out and would like to do some of the same type of videos for different types of people would I be able to mention you give you credit for what I've learned from you thank you

I know I have asked about it before but could you post a close up detailed video of the carved bone necklace you are wearing?

Lol I love this :-) your videographer is a learner huh... your son? :-) good father son bonding :-)

ax for show room?

Quite scale-able, it seems.

Master of the Universe, "Whats the bell?"..!!!

Get the eye patch ready also!

That axe is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Damn, your eye gets a little too close to a set trap for my liking! Great trap though!

What about cockles Will? ATB Pete

Did it work? Squirrel are very greedy things, snares on low branches work. Missing the point but l use airgun! Thanks for making video.

are there some traps, that doesn't hurt the animal so much? I mean in trap the victim will try to get out and maybe hurts himself..

Did you catch a squirrel? Wont it chew its way out of the net?

100 swipes with the axe on a pinky sized branch and he says it works good

A squirrel would eat through the net

I love hazel nuts! Would probably catch me in it! Careful you’ll put your eye out! Hahahahaha

Man, you scare me when you cut things with that flint knife using your thigh as a brace. One slip...

Didn't catch one did you?

Great video but the camera person doesn’t seem to know how to get a single still shot. God damn I’m motion sick.

i no see no squirrel in it...

I'm only interested in removing squirrels from my backyard. I'm not wandering around in the woods, looking for squirrels to kill. You could use peanut butter just as easily. If you want to trap a lot of grey squirrels, the type of trap is the most important consideration. I've disposed of 350 grey squirrels since June 2014 from my backyard but most of them were caught when I switched to a new type of trap 3 years ago. The best solution to a squirrel problem is the Havahart #1083 "Easy Set One-Door Cage Trap for Squirrels and Small Rabbits" I used to use the old fashioned Havahart 1030 traps but I have upgraded to the 1083 and now have 3 of them. It also only has 1 door which makes it much shorter and I thus need a much smaller tropical fish tank to drown them in. You have to order them online, since the big box stores don't stock them for some crazy reason. This is the most humane way I have found to dispose of grey squirrels and I try and keep the water reasonably clean. The smaller tank uses less water. But most importantly 1-door traps are not only MUCH easier to set but they are also much easier to bait because the squirrel can only enter from 1 direction so the bait only needs to be behind the walk-on platform. You don’t have to “balance” the mechanism the bait sits on, thus the 1083 is also a much faster trap to bait. (My bird feeders and vegetable garden are both in the back yard and they attract grey squirrels, so I place my traps in close proximity to them. We have an Oak tree in the front yard but I don't have any traps in the front yard except in the fall.) The other great thing about this trap is that I never have any "set off" by birds. Every time this trap closes, there is a squirrel inside. The 1030 trap was frequently catching small birds, which was a huge waste of time. You will never catch a squirrel, if the trap is closed all day with a bird inside. Use cheap peanut butter for bait. And lure them into the trap with a few shelled peanuts. I then consistently take the carcass to the exact same place in a nearby woods for predators to find. I like to think this causes predators/scavengers to hunt rabbits and other small game much less frequently. I've recently discovered that possums will scavenge grey squirrels if you leave them in the same spot. I like possums, so this is a win-win for me. At night, I place mouse traps inside the closed 1083 so that only mice can get into them. (this keeps small birds out of the traps) I was surprised to discover a mouse infestation, that I was completely unaware of. The first 8 days I did this, I caught 14 mice behind our garage. email me or call with questions. devilsadvacat at gmail WRZ 2020-04-20

your young camera person was reminding you to tell us to click the notification 'bell' that tells us when you post a new vid. :) They sounded like they had some breathing issues. Hope they are OK.

*TANK YOU FOR FOR SHOW A PROOF OF CONCEPT ABOUT (OZY) 5,000 YEARS AGO BECAUSE YOU HAVE REPLICAS OF HES EQUIPEMENT LIKE HES KNIFE , HES BACK PACK, AXE , TINDER BAGS AND OTHER ACSESORIES CLOTHES & YEWELERS* !!!

Please just keep to flint working. As an ex forester I’ve seen the results of so called humane squiggle trapping. 😹

looks like you went dumpster diving for all that stuff.
