I just made this with limited knife usage. Boy, is it sensitive! Love it! I'm a beginner, and this was a very encouraging experience. Usually, my triggers aren't sensitive enough.
I am a female who loves all things wild. This is a great video, and you are excellent at explaining and describing the process. Although I dont plan on getting lost or stranded anywhere (who does?) Skills like this can truly save your life. God bless!
Dave, thanks again for this! This clip crossed my feed a year ago, and just yesterday I saw my first crotched wishbone component amongst my other kit scraps, which I saved for my 2.5 yo twin grandsons live-fall box trapline they run on weekends for Papa, who pays $1.00 per feral/barn cat, who then get a free tour and vacation across the big crick into next county. Anyway, my son-in-law, their daddy, after 4 years in our clan, has finally caught the woodcrafting bug, so my granddaughter-pregnant daughter won’t have to do all the wood processing, fires, and all other knife- and ax-crafting at their place! Lol Anyway, just a day or two ago, I shared a Patherfinder batoning video with him, followed by the text declaring Dave as being our biggest influence and inspiration in our early days, and that Ryan should judge all other media creators against Dave’s masterclass videos and book!! Appreciate, you, Dave!
This is by far the best video for any dead fall trap. Good lighting and close up. Most of the ones in the field of anybody have some way of obstructing the view. Great job Dave.
Thanks Mr. Canterbury, I gave this a try after seeing your earlier video, and got it figured out, but seeing the table top demonstration, I've picked up on a couple finer points that I was not clear on, or missed entirely. 👍👍🇨🇦
Excellent explanation, Dave. I like the stability of the y stick, made one with a 18 inch log 4 feet long that my regular figure 4 would not balance, and it worked great. 👍👍
Dave thank you for making this video. I've seen alot of diagrams of this stuff but never seen it explained so clearly and easilly. Appreciate your work
Gday, I am new to this trap making thing and looked at a few videos on deadfalls now. This was one of the few ways that had less then 4 parts and didnt require some sort of cordage. nice one
Wow,, very well presented, , I have not done this, but with your instructions, I have a high degree of confidence in its exicution, even without practice... Thanks for sharing.
great trap video dave thanks for sharing. do you think this would work on larger animals like racoon possum skunks or woodchucks with more weight and larger sticks?
Interest the way all the parts are thrown free of the trap. Good system to know. I watched the Asian bird trap video years ago and it too was a really interesting demo and potentially useful thing to know.
Is this trap super dependent on the component length and ratios between the pieces? Is there an optimal ratio? Weekend project with the kids! Other deadfall traps either too hard for a young kid to knot up or too difficult to set up without being discouraged. Thank you for the video.
David Canterbury, Hi there... just curious what wood you chose for this trap? Does it matter, so long as it is easy to make and is solid? I live in NJ, for example... where the forest is very much like that in Ohio.
Dave, completely unrelated subject, but have you done any testing with the Henry single shot 12 ga. You mentioned it in a vid a while back but nothing since.

I love the mod to the Y-Bone. Thank you for mentioning me as inspiration for this deadfall. I really appreciate that - rock on, Brother !
Learned so much from you from the slingbow, to cooking stews, to building traps. You are the man
Thank you brother

Thank you man I appreciate that
That's super slick, Dave! I've never come across this before and really like the way it kicks out the upright.
This is a simple, neat, design. Thank you for teaching me. I learned something today!
Thank you
Thanks Mr. Canterbury, I gave this a try after seeing your earlier video, and got it figured out, but seeing the table top demonstration, I've picked up on a couple finer points that I was not clear on, or missed entirely. 👍👍🇨🇦
Only three simple parts with a very stable support mechanism. It's easy to set and almost foolproof in operation.
That's a great trap, Dave.
Excellent explanation, Dave. I like the stability of the y stick, made one with a 18 inch log 4 feet long that my regular figure 4 would not balance, and it worked great. 👍👍
The Y stick makes it so much better for sure
In the words of the Corporal " that trap is outstanding and good to go". Thanks Dave

Gday, I am new to this trap making thing and looked at a few videos on deadfalls now. This was one of the few ways that had less then 4 parts and didnt require some sort of cordage. nice one
Great new design. Thank you!
Wow,, very well presented, , I have not done this, but with your instructions, I have a high degree of confidence in its exicution, even without practice...
Thanks for sharing.
An excellent upgrade to the figure 4 trap. Thanks for sharing.
I love Primitive Trapping. Cool seeing it in person with you, but this video goes into great detail. - Thanks Justin Williams
Very cool. Going to try it on barn rats this weekend.
Such an improvement on the regular one thanks
great trap video dave thanks for sharing. do you think this would work on larger animals like racoon possum skunks or woodchucks with more weight and larger sticks?
Hi Dave,
Thank you for the (very) clear explanation. I'll be trying this this afternoon or tomorow (practice, not hunt).
Kind regards,
Alain
Interest the way all the parts are thrown free of the trap.
Good system to know. I watched the Asian bird trap video years ago and it too was a really interesting demo and potentially useful thing to know.
It works well thank you
Thank you so much Mr C for sharing these things with us all and for helping make TH-cam University that much better :) You ROCK!
What a great trap. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for a more detailed look at this trap system Dave. Definitely going to practice making this trap to put in my mental tool box.
That’s great. Looks easier to set up and less susceptible to wind rain etc sitting if off.
Great Dave, simple, fast and smart! 😉
Thanks for the great survival skill Dave. This design is genius.
Fantastic. Thank you, Dave. I'm going to try that this weekend.
now thats the best design for this i;ve seen. nice
Great explanation and demo. This trap is a must know if you spend time in the woods. I eaten many of squirrel and mice because of this trap.
Will have try this. I need to practice my deadfalls anyways. Thanks for this awesome video my friend
Thanks Dave. Excellent trap design. Going to have give it test run right away👍
GREAT SETUP DAVE.

Great video man. what knife are you using for bushcraft these days?

Yes you want to maintain an angle on the deadfall of 45 degrees or less
David Canterbury, Hi there... just curious what wood you chose for this trap? Does it matter, so long as it is easy to make and is solid? I live in NJ, for example... where the forest is very much like that in Ohio.
I used arrowwood/redbud
Dave, completely unrelated subject, but have you done any testing with the Henry single shot 12 ga. You mentioned it in a vid a while back but nothing since.
Hunting season has come and gone, but Spring Turkey is coming and I hope to get in on it between travel
This is much easier to make and set. Always hated the 4 because it was so sensitive to set.
Great video !
Thanks
Wow. Very clever!! 👍
