Is this the best deadfall trap? 

How's that work when you have no clue what animal is gonna spring the trap?

@@DivergentDroid Know the local animals and their diet and pick your bait appropriately, the location you're setting the trap (proximity to burrow sites, game trails or food and water sources) and the clearance to get to the bait.

@@FiltyIncognito Sure you can do that guesswork and hope you can dial it in but still anything can set off the trap. If I lived there I'd use such a trap if I had no other options and when they asked me about it I'd tell them sure I may have crippled a few animals but so what, I lived, would you rather I had died? I'd tell them to stick it where the Sun don't shine.

If you're skilled enough you can use big tree trunks and logs instead of rocks so it looks more natural and can have heavier logs

@@DonovanHaumpy I use tree trunks for figure four and a dumpster for my dead Fall 😲

Not animal is strong enough to lift this stone except a bear

Showing it for demonstration purposes is perfectly legal. Using it on real animals is illegal in my country... thanks for your comment and have a great day.

@@SurvivalLilly When the bad time comes laws will not matter but survival will.

если он не хочет их есть !

Cool maybe ask him what he thinks about the traps i have made in this video. I would like to hear his opinion

@@SurvivalLilly There may be some differences in the traps used. All the American Indian tribes are more like sovereign nations into themselves. All with different languages. Cherokee language is completely different from Choctaw language. The Souix language was similar but not exactly like the Crow nation. Kind of like the difference between Spanish and Italian. I know the Navajo language is one the hardest languages to learn. Instead of using sound combinations as diphthongs to make words like most languages. Navajo uses changes in pitch to make a word. For example, the sound of the word "tree" represents tree no matter the pitch of the sound in most languages. In the Navajo language if you say tree with a high pitch note, then the same word in a tenor note, then again in a bass pitch. You have three different words. One of the most fascinating things was the ability to use natural plants as medicine. Willow bark as a pain reliever. One plant was used for menstrual cramps. Another was used to control infection. They had an impressive lifestyle. One was the opinion that land is the same as air that we breathe. You cannot own air, and, one cannot own land. Just to utilize the resources as needed. Like an animal cannot be owned. They can be used as a resource as food. An amazing group of people.

Osage orange bows were great BUT one little flaw or notch ruined the whole thing. You had/have to be a master Bowyer to make one.

Not in the US. In the US anything is legal in a true survival situation. Examples. wanna call for help without a license on a borrowed Ham rig.. go for it. Wanna shoot cook and eat any animal out of season with non regulation gear or license.. go for it.

In a survival situation I would consider nothing illegal - even dynamite if necessary!

It's been awhile since I last read about it but I think that there are special considerations for life&death situations. Either way, the fines are more of an economic countermeasure to economic or leisure motivated hunting. If you're at risk of dying, the threat of a few fines isn't going to stop you from trying to preserve your life. But purposely putting yourself into a survival situation like going out into the wilds with the intent of surviving on trapped game probably won't do you any favors in court.

@@Jimwill01 Yeah in the US I can see that but Australia.. Cop: How did you stop your attacker? Man: I shot him with my gun. Cop: You are going to jail. - There has to be some legal way out of the madness but I don't know what it is. They cannot expect you to Not survive simply because they have a law against a trap. Say you broke 5 animals backs that all got away causing them to live painful lives but the one you did catch and kill caused you to live.. are their courts really gonna condemn me for doing what I needed to do to survive? I would hope not but if they let that slide they would have to let the guy with the gun slide too and something tells me that's not gonna happen. I know a lady who swears Australia is a Paradise. Her words, she meant it. She says there is tons of (I'll quote her last msg) " gold iron, copper, titanium, uranium, opal, coal, theres free universal medicine, nobody actually has to work if they dont feel like it, and there beaches. And you CAN have a gun .. but only what you fellas would call single action guns. No pistols and no automatics! those are military only" - Her exact words. She fails to see when the government comes for her, she'll be defenseless. That's how brainwashed many of these folks are.

@@DivergentDroid It was them other kids! It wasn't us!!

💕 Your Shout-out To Me............It " PERKS " Me...........UP....

in my country

@@SurvivalLilly wow, that sucks! Can you hunt and fish there?

@@Bill_tyler yeah but it is not so easy to get a hunting licence. fishing licence is easy.

@@SurvivalLilly well that’s good, at least you can partake in one of the oldest traditions known to mankind. Ha e you ever tanned a hide? That might make a good video 🤷‍♂️ you do a great job without suggestions but it would be interesting to see

Danke für die tipps und fürs zusehn. Lg

I remember that from the book Where The Red Fern Grows.

Really only works on racoons, maybe a skunk or opposum.

Exactly. Same here in Austria. The amount of ground we close with concrete is horrendous.

im fat and starving lol
