please don't stop your videos. we got your back.

I respect a man that eats what he hunts.

The history you teach should not be censored

I've transferred my interest in traps over to you, I love that you show in detail how it's made, how it works in theory and field testing it and recording it. this is life saving knowledge. Thank you my hats off to you sir.

Gonna have to send you a beer for all the great knowledge.....

So this is how to avoid people bitching about animals getting killed: dont show them the moneyshot and instantly it becomes fine. Out of sight out of mind huh? Simple minds...

P.E.T.A. = People Eating Tasty Animals! 😃 Great video thanks

I did not know this trap. Great demo! I love how little energy the trap spring requires.

Nice trap, most traps are very well known and are in multiple survival guides but I've never heard of this one before, so +1. Nice work!

People like you do a great service by sharing this information. Thank you

I couldn't care less if the rat felt pain or not.

Good editing. It makes it less likely to get shut down. thank You for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome trap and very clear instructions too! Thanks very much Shawn Woods ☺

Too bad there aren't troll and whiner-blocker traps ... Need to tap that thumbs up another 500,000x.

absolutely the best trap I've seen!!! thanks much for sharing your thoughts. the step by step instructions are easy to follow. blessings sir!!

I really like this trap. Thanks for showing us the awesome primitive skills.

crystal clear instructions, good job.

you care to show the trap in a simple manner that people can understand. I'm just trying to calculate how many lives you will be responsible for saving if times get really tough. great job, I think I speak for almost everyone watching please maintain these invaluable video's you're totally on target.

Great video! It's like you're the MacGyver of rat traps. Awesome job and thanks for the vid!

wow great video keep up the great work, I find all of these videos interesting.

could you upload how the trap works in action on some other website that isn't all aabout being PC?

Keep the trap videos coming!

Dude I love these traps. I'm going camping this weekend and I'll be setting two of these up.

I have never seen this type of primitive trap before. Thanks for posting! subbed

awesome video shawn Mojave Scissor trap Survival Trapping

12:02 That looks so damn awesome. Sell me some by the pound. Great video, thanks. Much love from the Mojave desert, Adelanto, CA!!!

Shawn, don't bend to the hypersensitive pc police. Please show all footage.

Very informative and well done. The addition of videos showing the traps functioning (or not) is an excellent idea!

Great video! I had never seen this trap and it seems to be less "tricky" to make and set.

Shawn....i think you would be one of the few people eating well on the show Alone :). You have mad skills my friend.

It is an effective trap for sure but also more complex than a standard fixed snare or a standard spring snare. Thanks for sharing.

I love that you not only showed how to make it but took the time and patience to show it in action. It is nice to know it can work be for I go and try it.

Shawn, thank you for sharing your passion with us, your videos are so informative, you clearly explain all the elements and I'm happy to report that I made this trap yesterday, actually 3 of them. All 3 worked beautifully. I did a lot of hiding of the bait and can't be more pleased with the results. Keep the knowledge coming.

Oh man come a day when the apocalypse happens, I'll be glad I watched your videos lol

That is one awesome trap! Thanks for sharing.

Thats really neat! I liked how you ate the rat too

Can you do videos on catching more aquatic animals. Like large fish, alligator and turtles

Thanks for this Shawn. This is the first of your vids that Ive seen. Awesome trap! New sub anxiously clicking the next vid.

Fantastic video! I am going to build one just for the experience

man ur awesome ur my new favorite survival RU-vidr

Great trap, great video. Thank you for sharing

Excellent video! THank you so much.

You know in one day this might save someones life! Thanks

Awesome!!! You make the coolest stuff..!!! I just hope there are many rabbits if I ever get lost in the woods. Rats and squirrels........would have to be really, really hungry.

Excellent video Shawn, very effective trap.

Feat video. Lots of hard work to make...very Professional...great dialogue. Thanks.

I sure hope it never comes down to that...again. It is still good to know about such traps so thank you for this great video!

Hi Shawn. thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. I enjoy primitive traps especially the ones which require no modern materials or tools to construct. You have a really good style to your videos and you are a very good presenter to. I'm working my way through all of your videos. thanks

Another amazing video! Great trap too

Love your videos Shawn!

yess, I love these vids

Excellent! Did you read about this in Paul Campbell's Survival Skills of Native California? Ive worked and used to know Paul. If you do not have his book, I can lend you mine. Its a ton of information.

Awesome video! Great tutorial.

awesome video! i love these trapping videos you are doing. i live in australia and im trying to find sources of how the native aboriginals made their rock fish traps. would love to see more of these!

Quite interesting video for those who are waiting the situation to come when such the way for survival will be the only chance. There will not be any PC nor mobile phones available for sure ... the question is what way the others will choose to get the food in the same time .... anyway thanks for reminding us on how natives used to live in the past.

Excellent vid sir, thanks for sharing.

Is hantavirus a concern when eating rodents?

Your vids are very well put together, explanations clear. Thanks!

Great video, man. Very informative and very cool.

1st time here. Great explanation bud. Good stuff.

i'd eat pine cones before I remembered to do all that !

the title says the trap *in action* then people complain about the skippabl3 footage with a warning... hypocrites.

Very informative! I like that you show the learning process from escapees to success. Very few ever show what goes wrong and how to improve. Could be the difference between life and death. Before watching your videos, I did not realize how effective trapping could be.

Have you thought of doing videos about making different types bows? I think it would be very entertaining. :)

Some people don't understand the definition of VERMIN, or maybe those people somehow relate to vermin. Maybe they should try to pass a law that makes cockroaches a protected species as well.

can you believe that I've never seen a rat in my entire life lol

Excellent Video!

Very nice trap. Well thought out. Greetings

Excellent, effective trap Some ancient know how never goes out of use! Q. How durable,strong is the string you made? If you have not I suggest you make a video showing how to make natural string and or rope and how strong it can be.

Another Fantastic tutorial sir!! You make great videos! One suggestion: couldn't you just use a third hoop instead of the crossbar with the two sticks? Would even be less work and less string . Regards from Germany

Very well done!!

nice video and like the fact the animal didn't suffer. will certainly give it a try thankyou shaz ;-)

bro make another cooking rat video I like your original but another wouldn't hurt :)

happy I found this channel

Great videos! I agree , these traps are a much wiser use of energy than large game hunting. First off, there will always be more small game than large game, secondly, large game requires preservation skills and TIME. Time may not be in your favour. Third, these traps made from natural materials are obviously very effective, so you do not have to weigh your pack down with store bought traps. It's always lighter to carry knowledge in your head that gear on your back! Well done, I'm subscribing. MiF

awesome have you tried the arapuca bird trap?

Damn! Your so smart!!!

Thank you for making these videos. And showing how they work.

wow that was brilliant! just saw this on my RU-vid thingy and thought to check it out. excellent to see what people get up to and a little history and demo! well done...

You should show how to bait the traps too.

I would loved to meet the guy that came up with that idea first. smart man or woman

Great vid!

Интересное видео. Автор молодец!

I absolutely LOVE your videos! please keep making them!!

Any tips on how to best locate obsidian? I live in Massachusetts

great! now go wash your hand ✋

Great video!

Awesome Shawn

The Anasazi used this in Southern Utah as well. Saw one excavated from a dig site in Boulder Utah. the only part they didn't have was the arches and triggers.

This is a great video.

this may sound dumb but can you find obsidian naturally and easily?

Very cool method. Nice. Jeff

Ingenious! I have to subscribe.

very interesting! great job

How do you make cordage?

Cool trap...but eating rats is a risky game..should only eat them in extreme survival situations....each to their own..I won't be eating any..
