I just got my first trapping permit and I have a few 110 and 220s. I'm 57 years old and have never trapped. I'm looking forward to saving some ammo while passively harvesting game this winter. Right now I'm looking for tips and tricks from the old hands and this was an awesome lesson. Thank you!
When setting blind on a trail, a step-over stick can be placed over the trap at a height that will allow small game to walk under it and cause larger game, such as deer, to step over it. This will reduce the possibility of larger game running away with your trap.
Thanks Dave. I recently received my 10 Conibear traps from Ebay, and 2 of them are in my bug out backpack. It is now at 26.5 lbs., LOL but I can handle that weight for a long time. I'm in extreme condition and everything in the pack would ensure my survival indefinitely (till old and gray). Thanks for the tip. I didn't have any mechanical traps before this video. Again, you have enhanced 'The Pack'. God bless you, Brother. Jim from Ohio.
VERY good video Dave. Traps like that were definitely one of my weaknesses. I will get me 3 of these for sure now that I know how to use them. Thank you so much the wisdom. Very versatile and very very helpful.
Great video Dave! I've found the Small Cinibear trap is also good for Trapping Pack Rats off of my Tractors. There is a flat spot behind the fuel tank that I can Block the Cats out and still Give the Rats access. Effective and Humane. Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.
Dave, (Its winter here) Point well taken. It is so warm here in So. Cal. that I forget its not warm everywhere. Its closes to 70 degrees here today. The truth be told fishing in not that great here yet too. Thanks for taking time out of your day to respond. I hope to see more videos. Thanks again for all you do. Mark
I love simple , it works every time , I use to carry a heavier steel jaw rat trap , looked like a Minnie bear trap but it was heavy and they can break a bone if your not careful . Thanks Dave !!! , simplicity is perfection !!!
@scottish3760 trap height is also very important when using body grip traps critters walk with their head at a certain height off the ground in general so for instance for a racoon you want the trap center to be about 6 inches off the ground for a mink the bottom should be close to the ground. In freezing conditions make sure that the bottom is not on the ground they will freeze down and misses can occur
Also dont forget all the great trail trapping you can use these for as a body grip not as a leg hold also logs leaning against trees at a slope make for some of the best sets for squirrel, marten fisher.. any path a critter takes can be narrowed down to funnel them into the trap just remember some times depending on what you are targeting you need to cover the top of the trap and some times you want the top open. also trapping in the water on muskrat runs is effective if you know the signs
i always put my bait on the whiskers never under a trap as I've seen animals use there hands and pull the bait out and not set the traps off ... put the bait on the whiskers and any slight touch on that bait you'll have your meal .... :) Great video Dave !!! I love all your shows and what your doing keep up the good fight brother !!!
@jackclark, Best to put the bait on the whiskers. This will help to prevent the animal from digging up the trap and setting it off without a catch. If the animal has to hit the whiskers to get the bait the trap will work as expected.
@dlvmark WOW had had trouble setting the 280.using a bank line i almost bought the 330 but thought it would be really hard to set.but I think the 330 would be great as a leg hold on larger game.
Awesome topic. Thanks for the great demonstration and lesson. Never even considered a trap like this for survival. Always learning from your videos. Thanks, Dave...
I appreciate all the info never really trapped myself. Went with a couple friends when I was in school just to help. After watching your videos I think I’ll give it a try
really love this trap Dave, I hope I can get some asap. You have gone a long way in the past four years Dave, its been a pleasure to see you grow from the start to where you are now and I am excited for future videos. Thanks again Dave
Actually it was 1954 for the first Conibear Dave. The success rate is around 95% as well if you get a trap shy critter. I have seen muskrat push sticks through it to set it off many times. You can swivel the spring in any position you want to as well to make a higher or lower set. I will send a PM about some real serious ways to multiply the catch rate on muskrats.
@survivealist Got some heavy duty used one today, going to get the ones on Amazon to. that way I have 12 to this kind of trap. Then use them to learn what I can do with them. Thanks for mention of them on Amazon!
Everytime I open a pathfinder video and the intro. music begins my mood lifts 1000% and a smile comes over my face. How important is scent control when setting traps, placing the bait and constructing the funnel?
I would like to see what you catch, how you skin it and cook it and cure the hide and make something out of the raw hide this time. We have been all around this jumping from subject to subject and parts of the process but never start to finish. IMO I think this would be great! BTW you have made very few videos on fishing. This is one of the best ways to get food so an in depth series on fishing and processing the fish would be great! Just a few ideas. Thank you so much for your efforts and the
LOL...killing me brother! I can literally go down my "to do list" of videos that I've had written down for when I get back, and almost consecutively check them off as you do them haha. Great traps for sure.....have a whole trapper basket full of them! Excellent video!!!!
I used to carry a couple Victor Rat traps, the wooden base style. M201 I think, and would use them for squirrel very effectively. Maybe not as versitile and the coni's, but very light weight.
I ordered me a #110 yesterday. I figure I'll throw it in my pack for my next camping/scouting trip. I like the idea of a surefire trap working for me while I try to secure other food sources. If nothing else, I'll set it up in my backyard and clean out the squirrels in my neighborhood!
FWIW, the "Dog" on these Conibear's is the entire length of metal as it swivels around the traps jaw, that it's permanently attached to, including all 3 notches.
I broke my thumb a few weeks ago with a new duke 110, piece's of crap they are [ the dukes I mean] be sure to install a spring safety like the double springs have
@homeinthewhiteoaks no joke. I set alot of 330s doin underwater sets for beaver and they pucker me up everytime. So far i have been lucky, but they are deadly.
Great video. I would just like to warn people that each state and province has differnt laws about carrying traps into the bush. I know my province, New Brunswick, doesn't let you carry traps into the bush unless you have a valid fur harvesters license. You also must be in season. Once again great video!!
Thank you for this video! Your long term sustainability vid inspired me to add some traps to my kit. This is legal to have (not use) in the netherlands so it is great for emergency situations. thanks!
They will turn a nice black to hide the trap, also taking the human scent off them. With the right bait, most animals you would trap for food will ignore the scent for the most part. I have also used leaves as a glove when I had none. This will prevent you from touching the trap directly, leaving your scent. Respect these traps, as they will break your fingers and hands of which surgery will not correct.
I'll have to look into these I live in Kaliforniastan where everything is illegal practically here, but another great video Dave I would have never thought about catching fish this way, now I'm gettin hungry, this video might just fill your mailbox from PETA however lol but keep em coming god bless, wish you were gonna be at the international Sportsmans exp in Sacramento this weekend!!!
i like how this trap is more humane. i have no problem with trapping or trappers, but i hate seeing animals suffer. i have trapped in the past, and its great to learn, and its a great skill, but im so glad this trap exists to make it more humane.
Exellent video Dave! With as many times as I've seen you set traps in a self reliance situation, it always got me wondering "When in the heck is he going to do a video on trap sets". I've been trapping for years now and use conibears from #110's to #330's. If I had to choose just one conibear, I'd go with the #160. Its all a matter of opinion and what situtation you find yourself being in the most.
That is a pretty slick trapping system and easy to use if you are careful. Should get enough to eat. But tell me this how do you tell if the animal you trapped will be good to eat i.e. parisites or some type of diease ? I've heard people say be careful but of what? Thanks for another great video.
@Survivalvideos1 you mean a rat trap size one? I would say no, it wouldn't be strong enough to break its neck, but also raccoons use their hands, it may break their hand when they go for the bait, but I'm sure they would be able to get it out and now you have a raccoon with a broken paw on the loose and suffering. So no.
For those asking about treating these traps to protect against rust, make them a non-metallic colour and resist picking up scent check out MissouriPrepper's video "Trap Dying" where he uses walnut husks and wax to condition all his traps.
A word of caution: Don't use these larger traps anywhere near that a pet can find them or will likely to be cuz you could get into trouble for killing the family pet.
Excellent.. Would love to see some live action of let's say fish getting caught in these. Noticed too the wind wasn't an issue for the mic and much better cam action. RFT
THANK YOU AGAIN BROTHER ! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE GREEN ANORAK YOU'RE WEARING IN THIS VIDEO. ALSO THE WHITE ONE YOU WEAR IN SOME OF YOUR WINTER VIDEOS, WITH NO LUCK. HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LET ME KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, HARD WORK. MY FAMILY THANKS YOU FOR HOW YOUR TEACHING HAS HELPED ME DEAL WITH MY 9/11 PTSD . GOD BLESS YOU !!! DEBO FDNY RETIRED
great idea's. I've used conibers and it never occurred to me to use them this way. Guess I better put a few in my bug out bag for sure !!!!! thanks for the info. Tim
Ooops @mogges1 cont: Bob cat. As for where to get them I found them on eBay and Amazon used but you can get new for the same or less at the trapping supply company's. Shop around for the best prices. I like The Snare Shop.
Guys stuff happens. It is possible to catch larger game in smaller traps but not reliable or even probable. Yes maybe one out of ten raccoon or less will be caught in a 110 but you can't count on it. I think he only sticks around to give you a piece of his mind! Lol. Use your knowledge of sign and tracks to determine the game in the area where they have been and where they are likely to be and trap accordingly.
I would be interested in seeing a video from you Dave on the Conibear vs the rat trap as each has the same target group. While I'm at video suggestions, I would be interested in a SODIS vid from you. You keep making them we'll keep watching them
I was just looking at these the other day and remembering trapping with these when i was a kid. I almost picked some up for my pack since they were lighter than the other traps.
Dave this a great video and I know in a survival situation you do what is needed to survive. but I think in putting out these video's on trapping you should talk about this as a lot of them are in violation to hunting regulations across most if not all of North America
Im very thankful for you putting this video on TH-cam! I was looking at getting into trapping a few months ago and was considering getting these types of traps to try out for my first time. A few guys that were more experienced with traps said to be careful with the conibar traps they can be dangerous and people lost a limb or have died from injury from them. Being it would be my first time using this type of trap would you have advise for me? Id like to still use them just new to trapping game
Great video Dave, thanks. If Steve Davis were to bring some #110 Conibear traps to Dirt Time I would buy them from him :) BTW, Dave, is that a big pouch on the front of your jacket? If so, what brand is that? Thanks for everything
Zippy1one- I uae a live trap baited with an open tin of tuna. I catch 2 to 3 cats a week . A .22 short [ it is very quite out of a long barrel single shot rifle . ] to the head finishes the job. Try it.
I just got my first trapping permit and I have a few 110 and 220s. I'm 57 years old and have never trapped. I'm looking forward to saving some ammo while passively harvesting game this winter. Right now I'm looking for tips and tricks from the old hands and this was an awesome lesson. Thank you!

Thanks Dave. I recently received my 10 Conibear traps from Ebay, and 2 of them are in my bug out backpack. It is now at 26.5 lbs., LOL but I can handle that weight for a long time. I'm in extreme condition and everything in the pack would ensure my survival indefinitely (till old and gray). Thanks for the tip. I didn't have any mechanical traps before this video. Again, you have enhanced 'The Pack'. God bless you, Brother.

VERY good video Dave. Traps like that were definitely one of my weaknesses. I will get me 3 of these for sure now that I know how to use them. Thank you so much the wisdom. Very versatile and very very helpful.
Great video Dave, all I can say is I learn lost by watching your channel and I look forward to every video you post. Keep up the awesome work.
Great video Dave!
I've found the Small Cinibear trap is also good for Trapping Pack Rats off of my Tractors.
There is a flat spot behind the fuel tank that I can Block the Cats out and still Give the Rats access.
Effective and Humane.
Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.
Awesome! I'm so buying some of these as soon as my wife isn't looking! Ha!
I have gotten to the point where my day IS NOT complete unless I have a video from Dave to watch, thanks for all you do for us Dave!
Another excellent video. I especially benefited from the different types of sets. Thank you.

Thanks man....have some good ones lined up for sure.
Thank you that was very informative I'll have to try some of those sets
@nbandpa Gander mtn has them, also google 110 conibear and a dlr that supplies ur area should come up.

Awesome video Dave, just so happens that I purchased a collection of these very items this evening.
Conibear for fish? Wouldn't have ever thought to do that... Awesome!
Thanks Dave!
Very informative and to the point. Will definitely be adding a few of these to my kit. Thanks.
@TheMojavegreen1 They make them for the conibear. Just find a trapping store on line and search the site for conibear safty set
I have a the same conibears for years and I havent taken care of them like i should now these will last a life time no doubt.
FWIW, the "Dog" on these
Conibear's is the entire length
of metal as it swivels around
the traps jaw, that it's permanently
attached to, including all 3 notches.
Spectacular video, Layman's A-Z for the conibear 110 and trapping.
I broke my thumb a few weeks ago with a new duke 110, piece's of crap they are [ the dukes I mean] be sure to install a spring safety like the double springs have
@icallgreens i'm sure he would, they are super simple to use
@homeinthewhiteoaks no joke. I set alot of 330s doin underwater sets for beaver and they pucker me up everytime. So far i have been lucky, but they are deadly.
@bowandarow12 for me it looks not big enough for a biber would be a very slow death i think. and we dont want that.
Great video. I would just like to warn people that each state and province has differnt laws about carrying traps into the bush. I know my province, New Brunswick, doesn't let you carry traps into the bush unless you have a valid fur harvesters license. You also must be in season. Once again great video!!
@spiros5 I believe those are Mucks
Thank you for this video! Your long term sustainability vid inspired me to add some traps to my kit. This is legal to have (not use) in the netherlands so it is great for emergency situations. thanks!
@Survivalvideos1 those large rat traps are super great for squirrels though and not to mention cheap
At amazon a 6 pack is around 25 US dollars.
@hobo59 yes it is it looks to be a Catfish I think
They make 220 and 330 which are bigger traps but you really need a setter if you value your hands. They are almost to big to consider for you pack
They will turn a nice black to hide the trap, also taking the human scent off them. With the right bait, most animals you would trap for food will ignore the scent for the most part.

I'd probably put that in a bird house. I've done it before with other traps and it works great, the birds keep coming.
That is a pretty slick trapping system and easy to use if you are careful. Should get enough to eat. But tell me this how do you tell if the animal you trapped will be good to eat i.e. parisites or some type of diease ? I've heard people say be careful but of what? Thanks for another great video.

So no.
Raccoon also like shiny objects, so a piece of emergency blanket or tin foil would work well too.
The crawdad is genus never thought about doing that cant wait to try it now to dig out some conibears

Those are great. Just lokoed them up on ebay. you can get 10 for like 50 bucks. Definately common man price.
Thanks for the vid Dave.
@markshmily thank you!
Sears has em nice and cheap. Like $3.50 a piece. Great common man price. Great idea Dave! Good things always stand the test of time.
Great Video Dave but do you know if these traps are available oversees like where i live in europe ? Thanks for giving us all these great video's man.
Ooops @mogges1 cont:

Now the 280s I'm thinking could be used like a Apache foot snare.to catch large game like deer or a hog
Correction for my comment. The 120 has two springs not bigger then 110.
I would be interested in seeing a video from you Dave on the Conibear vs the rat trap as each has the same target group. While I'm at video suggestions, I would be interested in a SODIS vid from you. You keep making them we'll keep watching them
Dave,
Great video. I put it to use and the conibear works great, thank you for all your awesome videos keep it up.
you could also bait the whiskers for fish, a worm on the whisker would get a trout interested, he bites the whisker and bam, caught on the head.
Awesome video, I forgot all about conibear traps, they are versatile.
I went a bought some conibear traps the 110.and I'm trying to figure out how to set this up in a tree to trap squirrel.
Great trap, cool setup(s) and ...amazing bait ; ) ...cool. Thanks and see you, Sepp
Also caught me a small alligator snapping turtle with a 220, can't sleep on 110s
I was just looking at these the other day and remembering trapping with these when i was a kid. I almost picked some up for my pack since they were lighter than the other traps.
@Mozartghost1791 Yes, look up your state hunting and trapping regulations
@cmcollins001 I was talking about live bait, he used artificial bait.
Dave, have you seen the book "The Trapper's Bible: Traps, Snares & Pathguards"?
And if you have, what are your thoughts on the book?
Dave this a great video and I know in a survival situation you do what is needed to survive. but I think in putting out these video's on trapping you should talk about this as a lot of them are in violation to hunting regulations across most if not all of North America
Dave I really want to know about that jacket/anorak. Thanks for the video
Hi, great video, I always enjoy and learn from your videos. What I would like to know is something about that terrific anorak you're wearing.
Thanks
Hi Dave, would you tell us what camera and mic you are using? They really work well.
Nothing to do with the trap but what kind of coat do you have on Dave? That pullover with the chest pocket looks handy.
Dave, did you start using a lapel mic? Noticed the wind was a non issue for sound.
ive caught plenty of flathead cats and snappers beaver trappin with 330s
Im very thankful for you putting this video on TH-cam! I was looking at getting into trapping a few months ago and was considering getting these types of traps to try out for my first time. A few guys that were more experienced with traps said to be careful with the conibar traps they can be dangerous and people lost a limb or have died from injury from them. Being it would be my first time using this type of trap would you have advise for me? Id like to still use them just new to trapping game
Great video Dave, thanks.
If Steve Davis were to bring some #110 Conibear traps to Dirt Time I would buy them from him :)
BTW, Dave, is that a big pouch on the front of your jacket? If so, what brand is that?
Thanks for everything
Zippy1one- I uae a live trap baited with an open tin of tuna. I catch 2 to 3 cats a week . A .22 short [ it is very quite out of a long barrel single shot rifle . ] to the head finishes the job. Try it.
broke 3 bones in my hand trying to set one underwater for muskrats
Great video! Show what you get. Process game and tan it?
