For the trigger plate on a 220 i use aluminum pull lids from my cat food can's, remove pull tab and punch 2 holes on one side of lid and 2 on other side squeeze yer trigger wires together and slide lid on release trigger wires and presto!! And they last longer than de corrugated plastic ones..
the plastic corrigate will also increase the leverage on the trigger assembly. more leverage means it will take less work or weight on the part of the animal to move the trap release.
Turning the trip wire into a pressure plate is genius. I'm a structural trapper and will be adjusting a few flat 220 sets for raccoon today with this tip! My biggest worry with these sets are miscatches because the animal pulled on the trip wire. Thanks!!
Great vid . We are getting a new series of Dual Survival here in Ireland , starting on Monday , featuring my favourite Survival Guy Mr Canterbury . Happy , Happy , Happy.
Dave i just bought an aluminum water bottle from dollar store was that bad idea to use as a container for heating water ? Love all your videos Dave. You are very knowledgeable.
Not sure how reliable that treadle mod would be. I've seen the whiskers on a 110 pushed all the way to the ground (when laying the trap flat), and not get set off. And that's on the most sensitive dog setting. Not saying it won't work, but you'd need to really make sure it is made correctly and functioning smoothly and set well, because all trappers know that animals will find ways to defeat their traps if at all possible.
Dave: Nice video! Those mods were really good ideas. I always used heavy duty zip ties to hold the loops of the spring together; now I will try that S-Hook as a safety latch, instead. I also use an Irwin Quick-Clamp to squeeze down the spring, beforehand. By the way, what do you do to keep the traps from rusting?
Hay Dave, Great video. Could you do a video from start to finish on how to process a rabbit hide. Been raising silver fox rabbits for a year and can't ever get a hide to come out right. Thanks for the videos.
Hey Dave great video Defiantly going to try a few of them out and see how they do. I had messaged you a while ago about using 550 cord to compress the springs on my trap with out having to use the setting tool.. My question to you is how do I take the tension out of the spring when there is an animal in the trap using the 550 cord method? Because when I use the 550 I step in the trap and then pull the cord to compress the spring, I can't do that if there is an animal in it. Thx
hey can you show more of thats debris shelter in the backround looks cool better than the one you did just a video on or is that an extention to that one thanks i love debris shelters have numerous one scattered through out my cities woods
@longtrekker i own both and if i had to choose one or the other i would go with a recurve. i dont have any real experience with a take down but i would say that wouldnt make much of a difference in shooting
hey dave i like your videos i'm a big fan of you i have a question why don't you do video's where you learn to make traps with the nature around you with some sticks and rope as you do in dual survival sometime greetings:lino bogaert ps: i come from belgium
ok thanks dave i found the other videos bath i have a question would you in diary of the tipi even explain how to make a water bottle that you already had hanging, you have shown him as you courd container made
Don't mean to change the subject, but looking to get in to traditional archery, dave what bows would you recomend, longbow or recurve or a takedown model?
Dave I've noticed you havnt been using your case hunter trapper pocket knife are you not diggin it, I love my pathfinder knife were I live in Cali everyone always asked me if I'm carrying a butcher knife lol Dumbasses love the corrugated sign mod thanks brother!!!
Hey Dave I have question for you. A neighbor asked me to help him with his yote problem. Killin his livestock. But he completely wants no firearms shot on his property. I and gona set some footholds. How can I ethically dispatch them swiftly without using a .22? Is using a crossbow a option? Anny special tools or broad heads I can use?. Thanks sir.
Great video’s Dave, I’m going on a survival tour with my dad because of your vids. I have one request, can you explain what the best way is to humanly kill small animals like rabbits without a gun. Is it best to cut off their head or something else? Thanks!
Nice tip on the S Hook safety! While a 110 is easy to get out of - on a cold, wet raw winter day getting popped by one of those little buggers hurts!
For the trigger plate on a 220 i use aluminum pull lids from my cat food can's, remove pull tab and punch 2 holes on one side of lid and 2 on other side squeeze yer trigger wires together and slide lid on release trigger wires and presto!! And they last longer than de corrugated plastic ones..

"Dave is the king !" The wealth of info that he passes on for free is priceless. " Thanks for being there for us Dave."
So sick, great idea. It kind of makes conibear traps more versatile to foot holds in a way it seems like.
That should be on one of those reduce, reuse, recycle commercials. I like how it is common man and effective. Good stuff Dave
I learn from every modern trapping video you post but this is one of my favorites.
Excellent ideas, especially that paw-pan - or whatever you call it - the plastic sign mod. Love it, thanks.
Turning the trip wire into a pressure plate is genius. I'm a structural trapper and will be adjusting a few flat 220 sets for raccoon today with this tip! My biggest worry with these sets are miscatches because the animal pulled on the trip wire. Thanks!!
thanks again love the stake and nail idea always have trouble stabilizing trap on undercut banks
Great vid . We are getting a new series of Dual Survival here in Ireland , starting on Monday , featuring my favourite Survival Guy Mr Canterbury . Happy , Happy , Happy.
That pressure plate mod is incredible! After I add the safety to my 110, that's the next mod
the beard is bad ass dave! makes chuck norris look like a ballerina
Hey Dave hope you didn't get rained on today. What wonderful December weather we are having in Cincy these days.
Great tip, I look forward to giving it a try.
Thanks for all you do Dave.
Hi Dave, I am from Louisiana and I loved you on Dual Survival, you were awesome!! Going to miss you!! Sending Hugs! ~Breland~ GlitterForever17!
Gotta to love new guys to the group. I honestly can't remember ever seeing Dave in a video without that cross in his neck.
Great work and ingenuity. Always taking it to the next level and staying outside the box. Cheers!
Dave i just bought an aluminum water bottle from dollar store was that bad idea to use as a container for heating water ? Love all your videos Dave. You are very knowledgeable.
I love the treadle made out of a corrugated sign trick. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks!
Dave those are some. Very cleaver mods for body grips! I love this trapping series man! I'm learning so much thank you!!
Glad I came across your channel Dave. Vital information right here. Keep it up.
COOL VIDEO BROTHER. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW YOUR FINISHED HIDES? THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK YOU PUT INTO THESE POSTS.

Great vid. I love the S hook safety.
I like the treadle idea Dave!
He's got a video up on that shelter. It's the Hunters Camp shelter.
Thanks for your videos and the education Dave, you are the man! This information can be extremely valuable, especially when the shtf.

What would be a good substitute for a fleshing knife besides a deer rib???
I really like the nail in the stake
