My ex wife was seen snooping around my house. I used the cubby snare method and used my wallet as bait. This worked wonderfully, this is a tried and true method.
Scrolling through the comment section and seeing a reply from Clay on nearly every single comment is so admirable. Not only are you such a skilled survivalist, but you're also such a genuinely good person. This is what I consider a true "influencer". Keep being a great person and I absolutely love the content. Very therapeutic for me
Funny how he doesn't show catching anything in these traps. (And yes i do know youtube would not allow some of that), but what evidence do we have that they work?
@@beavisroadhog9629 Seems like you haven't seen much from Clay, at least not enough. He, without a doubt, is a skilled survivalist. Not just basing it off this video alone, which is simply a tutorial...
As someone who studied marketing and has found the over saturation of pushing materials and other merch annoying, I found the way you included your socials and book quite nice as it didnt interrupt the flow of the video (until I stopped to write this) and actually made me feel like checking out the book based on what you showed here. And thanks for the survival tips :))
I just finished watching season 8 and I never cry watching anything but I was fighting back tears when they told you that you won. I once fell into homelessness out in the San Jacinto mountains and had to survive with a broken down car way out there for just a couple of weeks out there and all I did was starve, people don't really understand how hard it is to survive the wilderness alone and starving.. everyone comments and criticizes but they've never had to skin their own food in their life. Anyways congrats man, you really earned your fame. You should do another season man, I'd put money on you
Your right. A lot of these people don't understand what homeless people, mountain men, hermits, you, and anyone else living outside with no house money or food go through, and hoe hard their lives are.
I live in a small apartment because I work with youth in the city, but I used your video to build a trap out of a soup can, paint stir sticks, and an old wrist rocket band. Got a squirrel outside the window today, and grateful that it's fast and merciful. I've learned a ton from your videos, especially when I started out with archery a couple of years ago. Still practicing towards getting a deer this year or the next. Thank you Clay.
You are a very good teacher on survival. That being said you are very thoughtful of the animals so they do not suffer long. That is a admired trait for a trapper to live and work by. Due to the food shortage that is going to be at everyone's front door your traps will come in very handy to put meat on ones plate. Thanks I do appreciate your methods. I will be back to learn more from you.
Great demonstrations Clay! We knew you would win Season 8 of Alone from the beginning. You've got "True Grit" and amazing Survival Skills. Love your TH-cam Channel. Thank you for putting it together. Love it that you love your family. What a great combination! Somewhere I know you also have Jesus in your midst! 🙏
I made these types of traps/ snares .. when I was a kid in the 70’s.. then just kept perfecting these. This is a perfect skill for young boys to be thought .. and show responsibility.
Great Demo mate. I have had the most success using the first method but by setting many traps. When in a survival situation saving your energy is paramount to making it in the wild. The first method requires less energy output and can effortlessly be set up countless times using not only wire but cat gut (nylon) boot laces, or even string made from flax.
This is extremely efficient and for that…..I’m now a lifetime subscriber! No one ever knows what events lie ahead. I feel confident this technique is best for certain survival not only for me, but my entire family. This is priceless learning. From my heart to you brother. Thanks a million! May God continue to bless you and love ones.
One of the best snare videos I've seen on TH-cam. Better visuals and some other aspects I can't put my finger on that just works better for me. I like the demo of the actual snares.
I know that you probably won't see this comment but I appreciate everything that you do!! God-bless you !!!and God-bless all your great work that you do!!I will comment on every video you do!! I own a cigar lounge for 21 years in Miami Florida if I can help you in any way I will and support you in every way!! if you would like some cigars I will gladly send them to you for free I want nothing and return just keep posting videos!! God-bless you!!! My father was a lieutenant colonel and the Cuban military I understand all of this very well!! I fight every day and help all thet I can and show the way!! God bless and thank you really!!!
Awesome. Seems like you could mix and match a few methods depending on your materials, like swapping out the cantilever or sapling for the paracord torsion arm to make a spring trap that'll raise the animal into the air. Or use a cantilever for the baited cubby trap.
My wife and I just re-watched Alone Grizzly Mountain, you're an awesome dude thanks for all you share. Made my first self bow with inspiration from you and I can't wait to do it with my children when they are older.
The best way to be successful is to set lots of snares…I normally set at least 50 up to 150! Some set hundreds of em! During warm weather you need to check em at least daily but when the colder weather comes you can check em less often. When the snow comes you need to have em flag taped or similar to help you find em as the terrain will look dramatically different now. You also need to adjust the sets as snow builds up or down! After setting your snares check em on the way out…you will sometimes have caught one in short order! Good snaring!
I learned how to set up and place many traps and snares from Ragnar Benson/Larry Grupp's books. It's like anything else. Practice, practice, practice. It's damn frustrating at times. Snares seem to be making a comeback among people learning bushcraft and survival. One I have mastered is the Rock Weir trap for fish. Keep in mind that in a survival situation you will most likely expend more energy building and setting traps than you will get from the game. I've been experimenting for the last 30 years, especially with triggers. Great vid here, you got a sub
I just came across Alone this week (never watched it before) and was rooting for you through the whole season. I decided afterwards to start upping my survival skills, and I came across your TH-cam channel. It was a total fluke, but it was very exciting to see. I may even purchase and read your book. You have a new friend if you're ever in NC.
You were my favorite from day one on ALONE, I was so ecstatic when you won! I nearly fell out of my chair when I stumbled upon your youtube channel! I love what you do, and please keep up the great work!
Found this video just by searching "how snares work." I was like wow this guy looks and sounds so familiar, oh he looks like the guy who won Season 2 of Alone. OH WAIT IT IS HIM. Good to see you making online videos Clay, loved you in Alone and got choked up with you when I saw you win. Great content, very informative as well.
Amazing timing! I've got my first trapping wire coming to me in the next couple days in order to try my hand at trapping a troublesome groundhog (and probly a few squirrels as well). I've wanted to try trapping for a while and this groundhog was a good excuse to just do it, so to have this video come out right as I'm about to give it ago is awesome! Thanks for the info Clay! Really helpful to see a few examples with different styles.
Great demo Clay. Those spring pole snares can be a game changer. Although when you talked bout a fox or a coyote stealing your catch all I could think of was...and a fisher. Nate
Hey Clay, we have a decent amount of snowshoe hare on our acreage. I tried trapping some with my kids last year and I have tried other years as well and never been successful at just planting snares on their pathways. Decided to try the windless snare. Used some vegetables as bait. Had to figure a few work arounds for setting it in the deep snow. I didn't get a picture as it was getting dark just as I finished getting it set and closed in. I will post a pic later on. Thanks for the sweet vids.
Thanks Clay! A couple of those were totally new to me. Thanks for sharing! Also, I have been watching for years, so it was a pleasure to end up seeing you recently on Alone! Great work out there!
I'd like to add on the last trap shown. You could also dig a hole and wedge a stick a crossed the hole to mount the trigger to! Thanks again, This is what today's kids need to learn considering what the world is going to!

I do not give respect lightly, rarely does someone gain my attention. You Sir, earned both. I spent countless hours tracking and learning to set snares as well as learning to find water in places where many think there is none, all under the watchful eye of my Grandfather.

I just started watching u...its really nice when u explain everything in detail n show the different angles of the traps u make...definitely will come in handy..thanks
I was in 4th grade when I read "My Side Of The Mountain" (the first time)...and I became obsessed pretty much with all things survival. Not because I was afraid of catastrophes or anything though. Simply because I loved history and wished I'd been born before the west had been tamed. It did evolve of course. Either way, I'm babbling. I'd have given ANYTHING for videos like this in my youth! Trying to figure out traps and snares and knots and such from usually pisspoor diagrams was torture to this kid! 🤣 And so time consuming that if I'd NEEDED to survive on the knowledge then...I'd have starved to death. Lucky me. - Excellent Video - Thank you. Spelling edit.
Steve Watts would've loved that last one. A windlass with a modified Paiute trigger, what's not to love? I spent most of my youth learning & practicing survival and wilderness living, and I'm betting today's kids aren't having to struggle near as much since good information is so readily available. I'm impressed. Very well done. You earned a subscriber.

Hi Clay new subscriber here. I really enjoyed your video. Straight to the point and very informative. My son and I have been learning about bushcrafting and survival and we both agree we enjoy your videos more than others. Time to binge watch all your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Let's keep this G rated😂.Thank you for sharing your tips.My mother(was) having a Bunny problem and your ideas HAVE HELPED me Become the bunny hunter MY mother wanted me to be.Thank you!!😂😂
Have any experience with live catch bird traps? If so I would love to see a demonstration, as well as any other types of traps you might be familiar with.
awesome video brother, a suggestion if i may, this video is great for people that have knowledge on how those traps work, i would suggest breaking it down a little, simplifying it more for people barely getting into trapping specially kids, for example the types of knots that you made and how to tie them, again great video thank you.
Gord Here, Loved that sapling but I in a survival state I used a fibre glass rod out of a dome tent and duct tape the the joints so they would not come apart.
Thanks Clay awesome content used to do anti poaching in Africa have seen many variations of those most simple and effective was always standard no. 8 wire it killed everything and the poachers stole the wire from the very fencing put up to protect the game, but as kids used to catch foul with spring pole method baited with loop on the floor
well done, when i was a kid, wondered about all this stuff, then bought myself the SAS survival manual, awesme, then got into Ragnar Benson, loved making and showing and proving, and you rock this dude, thanks for sharing for the future kids. if they can stop coloring their hair insanity inducing cotton candy colors.
Awesome. I've got a bunch of these furry bastards putting the hurtin on my garden right now. Time to teach my daughters some neat stuff. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your content Clay.
I’m 55 years old, broken back, can’t feel but half of my right foot, 18 year Army veteran from backwoods Kentucky and I challenge this boy’s survival crap anywhere on earth for 60 days. I’ll even pay his air or bus fare.
I like these Traps. I have seen people use, be it a thicker bailing wire for the Snare but handmade/homemade for catching Fox/Coyote especially in places/seasons that one can't use a Snap Jaw snare for the Season, provided they had the right tags for the trap to do so.
Big fan of Alone, Dual Survival, LBZ, etc. (literally seen every episode of each and their spinoffs) and I think it would help to know, overall, how the traps are supposed to work before diving into their construction; perhaps diagrams would help (for us visual learners). For example, the 2nd & 3rd traps, I was watching their construction w/o knowing how they were supposed to operate (disallowed me from mentally making potential improvements along the way). Keep up the great work! 🥳
As a young boy living in the north county , i had my own trap line (using steel foot traps). I was taught that masking your own scent while setting the trap was very important as many creatures are notoriously cautious. how do you feel about this and what do you recommend for masking your own scent? Thanks great info .. i will look into your book.
Can’t believe you have a TH-cam channel I watched you on alone and I’ve been a fan since still finishing the episodes as we speak I still don’t know who wins. Hope it’s you😃

uring Alone . Works great , most of the time.
I do alot of primitive traps. The variations with the windlass and toss pole tied to the tree is good info.
Glad ya liked it
This is the type of vid I like to watch these days, you know, when sh*t is about to hit the fan, thanks for your work Mr.Hayes

I don’t know know. There’s several strong participants this season.
Great info Mr. Hayes!
Thanks for watching!
Gord Here,
Loved that sapling but I in a survival state I used a fibre glass rod out of a dome tent and duct tape the the joints so they would not come apart.
I love the rope torsion spring method , idk how i didn't think about it while also being a medieval enthusiast
Loved the stuffed bunny prop. Thanks for that.

Hats off to the stunt bunny. He's a tough lil fella.
😁
I like these Traps. I have seen people use, be it a thicker bailing wire for the Snare but handmade/homemade for catching Fox/Coyote especially in places/seasons that one can't use a Snap Jaw snare for the Season, provided they had the right tags for the trap to do so.
Big fan of Alone, Dual Survival, LBZ, etc. (literally seen every episode of each and their spinoffs) and I think it would help to know, overall, how the traps are supposed to work before diving into their construction; perhaps diagrams would help (for us visual learners). For example, the 2nd & 3rd traps, I was watching their construction w/o knowing how they were supposed to operate (disallowed me from mentally making potential improvements along the way). Keep up the great work! 🥳
That’s a good idea, thanks
@@clayhayeshunter keep up the great service! 🤙🏼 cheers! 🍻
Great video Clay. I will try these this weekend.
As a young boy living in the north county , i had my own trap line (using steel foot traps). I was taught that masking your own scent while setting the trap was very important as many creatures are notoriously cautious. how do you feel about this and what do you recommend for masking your own scent? Thanks great info .. i will look into your book.
Smoke they say foot traps though can't you use something more humane?
Can’t believe you have a TH-cam channel I watched you on alone and I’ve been a fan since still finishing the episodes as we speak I still don’t know who wins. Hope it’s you😃
I apply to be on a survivor show. Looking up these videos to prepare myself. I’ll be sure to buy and read this book before going.
You will have all the stuffed animal advocates on your back sir. Good teaching for everyone else.
😂
