Bro I love everything about your videos. Presentation, audio quality. History/knowledge. Demonstrations and builds. This is an awesome channel. Thank you.
That mouse most likely dehydrated or starved. The smaller a mammal is the faster it metabolism is so nice need to constantly eat or they will die
Shawn is just so professional and thorough. The fact that he found natural and legal alternatives to whale bone and stuff instead of half assing it with plastic. You don't see many TH-camrs with that kind of dedication and resourcefulness. Great guy
I was very disappointed he didn't make a whale trap to get the needed materials
Even if he could it illegal in many areas
he deprived us of the most epic "Shawn Woods Goes Full Captain Ahab" story
@@TheEnabledDisabled r/whoosh
He could have got the whale bone from my mother's old corsets.
He tried, but the whale broke it with a big flip
My years of watching Shawn's videos finally came in handy. I never had a rodent problem before, but I recently started getting mice coming into my attic for the winter. I bought a couple snap traps, baited the trigger with peanut butter, and set them up along a wall under my covered patio. I learned to use peanut butter from this channel. Got a deer mouse today within an hour of baiting the traps. Although, unlike Shawn, I'm not brave enough to use my hands. I used gardening gloves when I gave it a little flip. I'm sure the mouse will get eaten by a skunk tonight.
@Joaly nocontroly yes, they're scavengers.
use poison and you will no longer have any problem
We had so many voles and other small rodents this autumn, that poison just wasn't effective enough, and also bad for other wildlife. Snaptraps work great! I've cathed over 20 rodents this autumn. It seems that voles are not interested in peanut butter, so I used sunflower seeds, and every rodent wants those!
You're right to wear gloves - Shawn's taking a risk not wearing gloves.
Joaly nocontroly
The last part made me lol.
Transcription of note: "Spring of rawhide bent over a bow of rib. In spring is inserted a strip of wood having at the end a noose of whalebone which passes down into a hollow stock to which bow is attached. The trigger is held down with grass on the end of which is tied bait."
I personally couldn't read a thing.
And today's MVP award goes to this guy.
I'll do you one better.....

@@BigBrotherMateyka Thanks; I appreciate the nod. I read a lot of Victorian fountain-pen correspondence in grad school, so I think that was a big help.
And they used to say MY handwriting was bad.. wow.
PS: Fountain pens are coming back! :)
“But getting body parts from a whale is difficult... and probably not legal”
There is something called replying
@Ed Jack Let's give it a little flip *calmly flips a whale".
they sale baleen in alaska it's not hard to find.
The japanese use the "for scientific purpose" loophole to catch whales. Shawn's video is good enough to fit into a scientific experiment from the archeological collection of the smithsonian museum.
You could always send a request to one of the villages, pretty sure someone wouldn't mind sending some
What I learned today: Even Eskimos have a mouse problem!
ROGER2095 can confirm. Source: am Eskimo
Can confirm. Source: Mouse ghost.
Alaskan Experience do you find the word Eskimo offensive because snowflakes seem to be and they keep saying they don’t like that use Inuit
Sassy TheSiamese ok thanks just wondering, also that’s pretty cool sap take care thanks
Historically, the "mouse problem" might have been that it takes at least a dozen mice to make a decent snack for a high-energy, calorie-burning Aleut or Inuit hunter!
I really like Shawn’s appreciation to nature. He doesn’t use poison because it’s impact on the environment, and advocates only for clean kill traps.
Getting back to the basics! I like it!
One question...
What made you get into mouse traps?
I got the same question
I've never seen Shawn answer ONE question here. Never.
A lot of mice and a lot of time is my guess.
Well, he has a lot of mice and other rodents around his farmstead, so he's always looking for new ways to get rid of them. I guess he just kinda liked the diversity in traps and brought us along with him
He lives in the mountains with no technology mouselikely
One of your best to date. Love the primitive traps and archery videos. Shoot an English longbow myself.
I survived.
Mickey Mouse 😂😂😂😂
LOL
With the help of his keyblade😂
Trolololol
You won't survive arsenic
Another awesome video, Shawn! Please keep putting in the segments with the different animals coming in and taking the mouse.
Love the new part of your video that show a animal eating the dead mouse. Love It Love It
You are an actual psychopath
@@srlsr no, he is a nature lover
@@wizdog5840 I wonder why there are so many trolls in the comment sections of his videos.
He isn't a psychopath. That's how the food chain in nature works.
I like seeing what is coming in for the free meal.
The amount of time and effort you put into these types of traps is so admirable Shawn. I appreciate all the work you do! You could've easily pulled out an exacto knife or scissors but NOPE, not you lol... It's awesome how you use as close to authentic materials as you can to replicate these! Great vid 👍🏼.
Love the addition of the “after kill” portion of the video
Mousetrap Monday: After the Flip
I love that the deceased mouse goes right back into the food chain.
Oh, props for blurring the corpse, that was pretty dang courteous and good form, dude. I wouldn't have thought about that, but expect that some folks will really appreciate it. Righteous.
I've gotta say, adding a bit that shows what happens to the bodies of the Mice/Rats is a very clever way to add more content, and hit that 10 minute mark, which is basically required to sustain an income on TH-cam. Genius, really.
I love the combination of ancient technology and mouse traps. I started watching this channel because of the ancient tech and agriculture. Been experimenting with ancient grains as well.
These are my favorite types of traps! Thanks so much for going back to primitive / traditional traps, Shawn!
love the silence while trap in action...
Silent but deadly.
@@20alphabet TR000
Moment of silence for the talent
I love it!!!!
Your videos have evolved to not only showcase these traps, how effective(or not effective) but now to showing what eats these animals after you've caught them. Keep it up
I absolutely love these types of videos you produce. They’re very cool and very educational
Thank you for showing the old stuff again
Thank you Shawn! It's really cool I started you with your older videos. Kinda throw back Thursday but on a Saturday. Lol! I Especially when you built bow and arrows and hunt Blacktail Deer. I loved that!
Loving the longer vlogs. Congratulations 1 Million subs Shawn! You've earned it.
I love that's you're showing what's eating the mice now! That's awesome.
That was an AWESOME video Shawn, thank you very much for the effort to teach us.
Shawn, I absolutely love your Video thumbnails with the mice balancing somehow on the trap, keep it up!
One of your best videos Shaun, well done my friend.
Thanks!👍Thumbs way up sir. I love it when you recreate these ancient traps. Cheers Bart 👍😀👊
Inuit, not Eskimo anymore; thoroughly enjoy the historic traps you showcase!! Great stuff Informative educating and entertaining
That's not actually correct. There's more than just the Inuit, Eskimo is the name of a broad group of northern indigenous peoples including the Yupik, Yup'ik, Cup'ik, and Inupiat among many others.
@@korbetthein3072 Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but some other organizations use "Eskimo".
Shawn, please bring back the primitive videos
@Ed Jack he did more than trapping
@Ed Jack im saying do primitive videos not old gun videos. I believe there is a difference between the two.
@Ed Jack He still does the mouse trap videos, with the carcus blurred. Why can't he do something like that for the other stuff?
I much prefer longer videos like this than the 2-3 minute ones. Good vid as always
I saw a couple of ads- glad to see they’re coming back. Good work on this latest video!
Great content! My old squirrel hunter (cat) and I are laying around binge watching your channel. You earned a sub so I can keep watching with my cats. Keep it up!
That is hands down the coolest mousetrap I've ever seen!!!
Thank you for your conservation!
I thank you
This is a great vid. and i really enjoy the ''dead mouse buffet'' bonus footage.
Whalebone was used for millennia by Alaska natives, but it then became the plastic of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for Western countries. It was famously used to make corset stays, but also for many other uses where something springy, tough, and lightweight was wanted.
Congrats on 1 mil I knew you would get it one day keep up the great work!
:-) thank you for another historical recreation video! These are by far my favorite!!!
I love your videos, Shawn. I also love reading the comments, some of them are pretty funny and some are helpful and interesting.
Amazing episode! Number one ancient trap like Egyptian one! Bravo
I want to see Shawn make an Otzi the Iceman style mousetrap that’s over 5000 years old
A 5000 year old flip
I remember learning cursive in school as well but that is really difficult to read so props to you for being able to understand as much as you did
In the future, in recognition of his dedication in this field, whoever invents the best mousetrap of the year will be awarded a Shawn Wood prize.
Happy 1mil. Time really does fly🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Those old videos was the original reason i started to follow Your channel, i love the mousetrap videos too of course, but i miss those reconstruction videos a bit. :)
I love your research in this. Thanks for bringing ancient practices back to life.
Nice trap. I love the remark about not using poison. I have lots of mice in my workshop (old food factory ...) and only use mouse traps.
I've been watching you since 5K subscribers. Love your videos!
such a great video thx Shawn
Enjoyed the video. Love the.after footage.
Thanks for that last clip!!!!!
I love your channel, it's a testament to the ingenuity of peoples all over the world!
Great videos and excellent information!
Your videos are very educational. And I don't need to see the pests getting killed to know the traps work. Keep up the good work.
8:46 listen to the water in the beaver shot, and then the next shot.
Beavers are attracted to the noise of running water, and they try to stop the flow.
Shawn getting back to his roots, good to see.
I watched you since the start just for the primitive stuff. Glad you still do it.
Great video Shawn.
Your videos are AWESOME BRO!!!!
Very interesting and informative. Thanks
PLEASE keep doing the wild animal buffet
I like the idea of showing us what eats the mice, that's awesome.
wow smart trap...that sinew you made is awsesome
How did that mouse die. Embarrassment?
Probably
Like GOTCHA!
A mouse dying from getting its leg caught isn't too surprising if you understand animal anatomy. The long leg bones, especially the femur, have blood vessels all around and inside them. The mouse probably died from a combination of shock and internal bleeding.
Dustin. . . . . . Now I just feel bad. 🙁
laughed itself to death over it.
You are so good at what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
Way to go Shawn, you managed to combine your primitive tech, with your new hobby of mouse traps, and as a bonus, you came up with a great way to calm down some of the complainers.
I miss your primitive skills stuff. That was how I found your channel, but I understand why you changed.
You got to combine your two loves! Yay!
For a 10 minute vid, it sure is high in quality!!!
I've been a fan of your videos long before mouse trap Mondays I've actually started skipping the modern mouse trap videos but I appreciate getting back to your roots with the primitive build video s thanks
I like how every single mouse trap has almost the same algorithm:
-mouse goes into hole for bait
-cuts the string which triggers the noose to come up
It's been a while since you've posted a primitive trap! These are my favorite!
mouse: *dies of broken leg and tail*
me: *FEMUR BREAKER INTENSIFIES*
I'm in awe, speechless.
bone wale and wale fat was important in oi lamps , watch oil , and oil lamps as well ! the bone was used for the watch bow body !
Wow this guy has a million now keep working Shawn
Well done
I miss your ancient arrow making and these things!
Love the old style “primitive” videos.
Really enjoying the motion camera of the animals that eat the mice too. Hopefully TH-cam doesn’t decide they have an issue with it.
Thanks for showing what happens to the mouse after you catch. It’s interesting to see what happens to thrm
You live in a beautiful area. I really enjoy it when you show the other animals you have in the area. Coyotes, bobcats, beaver and etc. you must be living in the 1800’s with internet. I am constantly amazed at how beautiful it is when you share your surroundings with us. I am not only being educated on how to eradicate vermin but given a chance to see how beautiful the US is.
Glad to see your getting INUIT
Man that thumbnail is A+
Cool trap!
Great video!
I love these kinds of videos, if you do more of these primitive traps / arrows videos on your website, please let us know!
Thank you! Awesome video..... SC USA
Very cool history lesson!
Loving the dead mouse buffets!
I love Shawn and mtm!
This is really cool!
I love these new endings
Very interesting trap!
Happy 1 mil subs
Great video! Love the primitive technology videos
