When I was a kid I had a little fort I build in the forest. I used this trigger method attached to a sheet of hidden plywood that dropped down into a hole when stepped on. The other end of the trigger went way up into a pine tree where I had a bucket of swamp water hidden to tip nasty swamp water on whoever stepped on the plywood trigger near the entrance to my fort. I covered the plywood with a thin layer of dirt and leaves to hide it. My little sister came home pretty angry one day hahaha. You've never seen a young boy so pleased with himself in your life. Until dad got home. :D
That’s awesome, I was doing things like that too. My wife and I worked very hard to move out of the city and get a place in the country, woods in the backyard. It saddens me - I have to kick the kid out of the house. Rather be inside with an electronic. Even before covid 🤷♂️
I think you're one of the best Bushcraft teachers on RU-vid. I really love the way you explain things in detail and up close with the camera. Please keep the great videos coming!!!!!!!!!!
This video just got you a new subscriber! Brought back memories! Over 60 years ago, I read Jack London and other wilderness books. I learned to make snares and traps. I even ran a "trap line " in brush near a RR track. Since then I survived Vietnam, raising a teenager and a narcissistic ex. These videos brought me to happy memories. Great skills and a talented teaching manner. Thank you
I’ve seen so many videos on this and this is without a doubt the best description I’ve seen it’s so easy but no one stressed the trigger is really the most important part
Thanks for demonstrating the L7. You are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing this essential skill. It is likely to be needed more than many would understand. God bless you and the ones you love ! Take good care now ! Later !
You've got the best down to earth 🌎 survival channel I believe. Thank you for this snare for food and fishing. In the military we learned that notched 7 cuts with sticks for counter enemy contact(B/ traps.
@ Roger Douglass If you want a few MAJORLY involved fishing traps, find Greg Ovens on RU-vid. He made one out of a mousetrap & then one that somehow had the fish get pulled up into this thing that also chopped off it's head too after catching it. Both were ice fishing ideas.
Well explained my friend! I know it's a simple concept, but some visual learners need to see it! Again, well done, and keep crushing the day every day!
Great video. I like the 1000 variations explanation. I use line on my trigger for fishing but use copper wire to the line at the trigger for the snare because an animal got out chewing threw the line once so I adjusted my approach. Thanks for all the good info.
Man I wanted to say thank you. I caught 2 Blue Channel Catfish today using this method. My dad taught me a lot about trapping and fishing but I was just a stupid little kid and didn't realize how precious this knowledge was. I just wanted to say thank you man. My dad would have been so happy to see me catch those today via spring pole and trigger.
Great tutorial will teach my Royal Ranger kids I teach Wednesday night. Royal Rangers is a church base class teach & reach young men from 6yrs old up to 18 yrs old. I'm sure they will enjoy this L7 method as they enjoy all aspects of hunting. Thanks for explaining & keeping it simple
Hey Dan, I have been watching some of your vids of late, and I have to admit that at first, I wasn't sure I wanted to learn from you. However, I buckled down and decided that even old dogs like me can always learn something new or addendums to things we might already know. Boy howdy! Was I ever wrong about learning from you! So much have I learned that I have constantly found myself scouring over your videos and my friend, let me tell you right here and now, I was WAY wrong. I have learned a blue ton from you. This video, I have watched a lot and every time I go out and practice it, I am able to tweak it a wee bit and now, I wouldn't hesitate to head into the bush with this rig and I would come away confident that I will have meat for the pot and confidence in my heart. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I live over in Jim Thorpe now. Not too legal, but when we were kids we went "Fishing" for turkeys. Sort of the same concept with the whippy branch. Amazing what you can come up with when you have to.
What a good video. And I almost forgot that you're the hand-in-my-face guy until the end, when your hand came flying and one of your fingers disappeared in my nose, the other one poked my eye. Now I'm half blind, half non-smelling. But still... it was totally worth it. What a good video. Thank you
as someone who is not a survivalist, I've never seen a better or clearer explanation of how to make a snare. The L7 trigger is simple but looks super effective. Now if I'm in a survival situation, I have at least one tool in my belt. Thanks
When you launched your spool I thought it was an accident. I thought the next scene was going to be you walking in the woods spoiling string lol. Thanks for the video, I never thought about putting the the "snare end" to a hook in the water. Very neat
Hey Dan, I'm watching ur program, I want to tell u thanks for such a detailed view of this 7-L, set up for us. I have watched Corprols Corner, & he's not shown this so openly.
