Yes Yes Yes please do more. Talk in detail about the trigger mechanisms though and if they can be used for other engines. Great vid. I love your stuff. Thanks from the UK man
Awesome video. Very easy and simple snare. I have seen other people that make it look so complicted but you made it easy to understand. Thank you for the video.
Loved the video style. I a bit more explaining on the knots or at least a resource of where to learn it would be awesome. I think in a survival situation food procurement is one of the biggest worries. Learning/relearning primitive traps is a great tool to keep in your toolbox. Thanks for the video
The Wooded Beardsman I guess the trapper has to pick the right size sapling, strong enough for the target species size. is that what you're referring to? Enough lift?
Yes, I agree. Can you really rely on these to thrive. By the way. I think you would be a great contestant on either the alone show, or "naked and afraid". I've seen a lot of your videos and I know that you have the goods. :)
this by far is my favorite , have been since fog horn leg horn . yup once they show us this on sat morning. I was hooked. Davey crocked, all these were the good shows. now sadly some youth never get taught these . keep up the good work. oh yes many pigions I caught in erie pa growing up.. and on my granparents farm well a few rabbits. lol
Quick, simple, informative...learned something new! Thank you. No words during the demo works well. Helped me focus on the task. I am very easily distracted...
Cracking video as usual. I'd be keen to see more traps and the explanation of how they work. They are banned in Scotland but knowledge weighs nothing and you never know where you'll be when you need it.
I have subscribed to many channels to do with bushcraft, hunting and survival but ive not enjoyed one of them half as much as i do watching you on your channel, you share vast amounts of usable knowledge and do it in a fun easy to watch manner, totally enjoyable, keep up the great content and 200k subscribers should be an easy reach for you, thanks for sharing, god bless
I love all of your videos, but I do enjoy these survival type videos more. I would also enjoy some woodworking type videos, like boats or furniture, since I know you have the skills. Even better, some wilderness type woodworking, like how to make joinery for shelter or furniture with your survival tools. No matter what, keep making videos that you enjoy, because it is always fun to watch you having fun.
I like the video, but I think maybe you should go a little slower with some of the parts and provide a little more detailed explanation. It would have been nice to have a little more explanation of how you were doing the triggering system. For example, you might want to say the toggle stick needs to be flat on this one side and be about 3 inches long and you don't want to cut it like this but you want to cut it here etc.
Keep up the good work zach love your channel im 14 and am in the woods before and after school every day building shelters and hunting buildings traps as well hope to meet you in person cause i have a few questions
Chase Crowe , very cool hearing that your generation still enjoys these activities that you listed ! Those things are what I did after school almost every day growing up in the beautiful woods of northern Vermont in the late 60s and 70s , and wouldn't trade those memories for the world . You won't regret it either especially when you are older and may be occupied with the increasing pressures and time constraints of life such as family , job and home responsibilities . Wish I had You Tube back then instead of having to learn much of that bushcraft lore many years later when I now have less time to get outside to practice those skills . All the best .
Wondifferus ....Heck yea bro find and do any and every trap you can research ...and then invent some Fowler improved versions , Like the trap you just did but with a heavy log way up in the tree (instead of bent sapling) so when the trap snares it pulls it (little fluffy pink energizer bunny) up in the air to the limb the cords hung over into sharp sticks tied to the limb. POW GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!! LOL great vid bro keep em coming ....god bless you ZACK
Thanks!...if you do "tweak" some versions or invent some new ones, even if they dont work out I think you and us will have a blast going threw the trial and error process.....Thanks bud have a blessed day bro.... off subject ...have you ever watched the u-tube channel "Northmen" if you havent i think you like em ...they reminded me of "the happy people" you reference sometimes
I really liked this format video. Maybe a little talking in the setup, but this was great. I much prefer this style video where you are more to the point without a ton of sidetracking.
Hey Fowler I like this format the only thing I wouldn’t mind adding to this content wise would be to name the knots used when making the loops and what have you. This way we can go back and research how to tie the knots in detail if needed. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Wow I remember my older cousin showing me how to make these traps as a kid, trapping feral chickens with them, I think I was 10 years old. we put rice/seeds around the trap and we would get them every time. I wonder where he learned this from, we were born and raised on a small tropical island called "Saipan"Northern Mariana Islands!
WoW, very cool! Yes, please do more like this - explain later. AWESOME VIDEO & VERY EFFECTIVE!!! Hope you, your family & your friends are having an AWESOME DAY!!! :-)
Fun video Zach! Great to see you in the woods again. I do miss the taking at the beginning setting up/introduction of the video, maybe some voice over or text in the middle while making the trap. Great admiral ackbar “it’s a trap” clip at the end. I’m a Star Wars nerd too.
One flaw... Trim all the leaves and branches of your spring limb. It does two things... 1) speeds up your spring. 2) reduces the chances of wind blowing your spring limb around that can cause a false triggering.
I definitely enjoyed the trapping/fabrication part of the video. As to your question about talking: I do like how concise you've made it by not following along in real-time. However, my preference would be for a little more explanation at some of the key points - i.e. explaining the actual trap mechanism, why you chose to place the stakes at the points you did, the actual mechanics of a 7-stick-and-toggle mechanism and so on. Perhaps a happy medium, where you explain the important bits and then fast-forward through the trimming, cutting and digging would be optimal. However, that's merely one viewer's opinion. Keep up the great work!
Heck ya niiiiiice 💪😎✊ I wouldn't mind talking, gives us a better understanding and possible ways to improve the device in our particular area. Nice job hope to see more🤜🤛
LOL that might be the first good case for not puting more of an expination in LOL ya ill add more next time after the fun first bit for those that want to see it in detal.
I have recently subscribed after discovering you and i enjoy each and every video you post. I live in the uk so your presentation and approach to video making is refreshing to me. Plus your bushcraft / catty skills are insanely good. Lol i have recently purchased a catty from watching your vids and plan to buy a cold steel shovel asap lol. I liked the video and would like to see more, but i prefer it when you talk us through the process, within like 50 odd seconds into the vid i was thinking hey wheres that crazy voice gone lol Im kinda new too bushcraft and felt myself thinking when the vid finished that i need to re watch it as i dont feel confident i learnt as much as i could from just a 1 time watch. So from that angle you will up your views but from a viewers perspective i was left wanting more 🤓 Either way i hope to see more vids in this series.
That is so cool But it would be nice if you could do a video on the snaring knots Yes continue this series and you should also do a video on shooting and aiming sling shots because I have one like a wrist rocket but don't know how to use it 😀🤣
Enjoyed this format. Would like to see a recreation of every trap & trigger you attempted in Pategonia that wound up on the cutting room floor. A shame they don't realize how many folks find this kind of thing incredibly interesting - they seem to prefer to show suffering instead..
Trapping videos are a great idea. In a true survival situation, you would likely be malnourished and weak, making active hunting quite difficult. Knowing how to make effective snares would definitely be a useful, potentially life saving skill.
Dk if I liked you taking the "primitive technology" approach to narration in the first part of the vid, but sometimes it is indeed better to show instead of tell. Overall it's a cool trap! Keep em coming man!
Yeah Zack , this would be a great subject for more vids . I enjoyed this a lot and evidently others did as well . Fascinating subject material , great editing and camera work , good music , excellent slow - motion close - up action footage and a clever scripture reference to boot ! As someone who has already learned some of the basic design principles behind these cool survival traps , I thought you showed quite well , especially with the slo- mo , how this one worked , but after reading some of the comments , I can understand why some made requests for you to explain in a bit greater detail the hows and whys of building these in any future snare making vids . All the best ! VT Rat (;-)
Genius, I have made snare traps very similar to this, only difference is it doesn't involve a hole in the ground, but this method seems it would be better, I will definitely have to try it
I prefer videos to be about the titled subject. Take as much time as needed to get the details across to he viewer. Some creators take a five minute video and make it twenty because half way through they feel the need to ramble on about extraneous stuff like their last oil change and Aunt Maru’s bad burn. Keep up the good work!
Like this tripping stuff...... keep them coming. Oh and if you could slow down a bit when you make the trigger. So I can get a better look at how it is made. Thanks
I really liked the format and content of this video and I'd love to see more. In future videos, however, it'd be nice'if yo made it clearer how the more complicated knots are tied because it wasn't too obvious here and id be left trying to figure a not out myself with pretty much the same function.. I look forward to seeing more!!
Enjoyed this style of video. I would have liked a little more detail on the trap sticks themselves but until I try it it may have had the correct amount information.
I was taught to always clear of any other branches and leaves so it has less wind resistance when sprung. leaving yourself just a bent pole basically. but at the same point it is slightly more obvious to the eye.
Yes Yes Yes please do more. Talk in detail about the trigger mechanisms though and if they can be used for other engines. Great vid. I love your stuff. Thanks from the UK man
more talking at the end then
Thanks Fowler! Please do more snare/trap videos and PLEASE DO include the talking, its easier to " get" with an explanation, thanks!
Awesome video. Very easy and simple snare. I have seen other people that make it look so complicted but you made it easy to understand. Thank you for the video.
Yes, more traps and this one was awesome. Appreciate your time, and your giving back to the woodspeople who enjoy everything you share.
your welcom thanks for watiching
When you cut the sapling I thought look! A slingshot! Before you showed us! Fun and educational video, thanks Zach!
You know me to welll !!!
A trap series would be awesome!
im on it
Loved the video style. I a bit more explaining on the knots or at least a resource of where to learn it would be awesome. I think in a survival situation food procurement is one of the biggest worries. Learning/relearning primitive traps is a great tool to keep in your toolbox. Thanks for the video
cool more expleing in the next one after the fast build at the begining
That would be great. Thanks 👍
Love to see how these stand up to live animals.
The Wooded Beardsman I guess the trapper has to pick the right size sapling, strong enough for the target species size. is that what you're referring to? Enough lift?
Me to me to maybe some day
They work reasonable well.
Yes, I agree. Can you really rely on these to thrive. By the way. I think you would be a great contestant on either the alone show, or "naked and afraid". I've seen a lot of your videos and I know that you have the goods. :)
Really enjoyed the trapping video. Please do more!
will do thanks for watching
Keep this series going. You can call it trapper tuesday
OO thats good idea thanks
this by far is my favorite , have been since fog horn leg horn . yup once they show us this on sat morning. I was hooked. Davey crocked, all these were the good shows. now sadly some youth never get taught these . keep up the good work. oh yes many pigions I caught in erie pa growing up.. and on my granparents farm well a few rabbits. lol
Thanks i well !
Glad to see you back out making stuff👍 Very cool
Thank you !
Good quote, dude. Applies perfectly! Another great vid too. Awesome
cool thanks
Quick, simple, informative...learned something new! Thank you. No words during the demo works well. Helped me focus on the task. I am very easily distracted...
Cool thanks for watching !
I like the couch critic that you do about alone..... but we also love to see the real survival stuff as well :-D
Thanks !
Cracking video as usual. I'd be keen to see more traps and the explanation of how they work. They are banned in Scotland but knowledge weighs nothing and you never know where you'll be when you need it.
Yes sir Ill try to add more of an explination at the end nest time
Good one! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Very nice. Yes do more. I like you talking after the fact. Great video...

Love this. Cantu do more bird snares please and thank you. Praise God. Praise Jesus
Amen thanks for watching
Hey Fowler I like this format the only thing I wouldn’t mind adding to this content wise would be to name the knots used when making the loops and what have you. This way we can go back and research how to tie the knots in detail if needed. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
I like the video. I don't mind you talking lol. It helps to understand what your doing.
cool will do next time after the fast build part
Excellent demo and video Fowler... great job!
Wow I remember my older cousin showing me how to make these traps as a kid, trapping feral chickens with them, I think I was 10 years old. we put rice/seeds around the trap and we would get them every time. I wonder where he learned this from, we were born and raised on a small tropical island called "Saipan"Northern Mariana Islands!
WoW, very cool! Yes, please do more like this - explain later. AWESOME VIDEO & VERY EFFECTIVE!!! Hope you, your family & your friends are having an AWESOME DAY!!! :-)
alright sounds like a plan
Fun video Zach! Great to see you in the woods again. I do miss the taking at the beginning setting up/introduction of the video, maybe some voice over or text in the middle while making the trap. Great admiral ackbar “it’s a trap” clip at the end. I’m a Star Wars nerd too.
Ya will do thanks for watching
Do a figure four death fall next! Keep talking in your videos Fowler!
I will maybe just more at the end after a fun first run throught of the building of it

Yeah!! I like this trap!! I got me that 4-in-1 tool too (shovel, Trimmer, Knife, Mallet). Super efficient.
My left ear enjoyed this video.
O no I used my back up camera and forgot to reset the channel to stare darn it thanks or the heads up
Heck ya niiiiiice 💪😎✊ I wouldn't mind talking, gives us a better understanding and possible ways to improve the device in our particular area. Nice job hope to see more🤜🤛
Personally I prefer a complete run through of what you are doing, had to watch it a good few times to get an understanding of what was going on haha!
LOL that might be the first good case for not puting more of an expination in LOL ya ill add more next time after the fun first bit for those that want to see it in detal.
I know I comment on a lot of your things, but nice job, and I can’t wait for your next video.
Just another example of ur skills just keep them coming I think I spk on behalf of a lot of people that we learn alot from ur knowledge...😉
cool thank you!
Loved it! A little explaining is great too
O k will do
Quick and dirty, I like it 👍
awesome will do
Hello i am fans from indonesia,and i like your spirit survival in the junggle
Call upon me in the day of trouble,I will rescue you and you will glorify my Name. Psalm.. Well explained. Thank you.

All right will do thanks for watching
I have recently subscribed after discovering you and i enjoy each and every video you post.

Either way i hope to see more vids in this series.
Awesome thanks for watching ill do more explanation at the end of the video next time and thanks for shopping !!!
Nice tutorial!
thank you
That is so cool
But it would be nice if you could do a video on the snaring knots
Yes continue this series and you should also do a video on shooting and aiming sling shots because I have one like a wrist rocket but don't know how to use it 😀🤣
Sage Seeger thanks I'll see what I can do
Enjoyed this format. Would like to see a recreation of every trap & trigger you attempted in Pategonia that wound up on the cutting room floor. A shame they don't realize how many folks find this kind of thing incredibly interesting - they seem to prefer to show suffering instead..
This was on i made and maintained 3 of in Patagonia
You content is great. I really enjoy it. Thanks

Ya i think we will do it the same next trap but after the quick run build ill go back and explain for those that wish to see more
Beograd uvek lajk od baka Dudine kuhinje ❤️❤️ bravo
Fowler! We need more traps!
Yeah Zack , this would be a great subject for more vids . I enjoyed this a lot and evidently others did as well .

ok so a bit more explination at the end for those who are interested
Nice, will this be a catch and cook on a rotisserie? 🤔
If only ;:( may have to move out of the us if i want to do that
Awesome snare in her👍🏼🤜🏽👌🏻
More and talking you rock!!!
Thanks Ill take a bit more time to explain what i did
More videos man love the techniques.
Yes please do more!
cool im on it
You should prank your friend and snare him in a trap non lethal of course lol!
LOL
Fowler I thought you said batoning with a knife is stupid lol great video Fowler
LOL you caught me . I stand by that if you have to hit it with a peace of wood then its a big enough project you should have an ax or shovel ;)
True true
That was fun and interesting!
Cool thank you
Yes, more of this !
Genius, I have made snare traps very similar to this, only difference is it doesn't involve a hole in the ground, but this method seems it would be better, I will definitely have to try it

Thanks Ill take a bit more time to explain what i did
Really enjoyed the video ...very informative ...yes man you should do more trap videos !!
I love the idea of learning traps, do you think you could maybe show a step by step video sometime? It's a great idea to show these skills.
O k will do
Thanks Zach.
love this stuff!
cool thanks for watcing
Great Setup, thanks for charing, but I dont got als the knots you´ve made. Please do more!
More it is
Yes! More!
cool thanks for watching
Would love to see more trapping videos and please do explain the details. Thanks for sharing
Like this tripping stuff...... keep them coming. Oh and if you could slow down a bit when you make the trigger. So I can get a better look at how it is made. Thanks
Cool video, I really like the format. For some of the details like the knot or notch it would’ve been nice to slow down for a bit.
alright ill do that thanks for watching
I really liked the format and content of this video and I'd love to see more. In future videos, however, it'd be nice'if yo made it clearer how the more complicated knots are tied because it wasn't too obvious here and id be left trying to figure a not out myself with pretty much the same function.. I look forward to seeing more!!
Will do. i only used a cow hitch for the snare loop with a square and the others were just clove hitches and square knots
love to see more
I like that some parts were sped up.
Awesome! Always wondered how a snare worked
Thank you. Very instructive.
T37912 your very welcome
More trap vids! With lots of speed shovel cutting and can we somehow include the twig snap edits?
LOL well see that might men the difrence in geting a video out once a week to one a month though
Best one ..woow Thx for video ! 🤙💕🍻🍷👌
Enjoyed this style of video. I would have liked a little more detail on the trap sticks themselves but until I try it it may have had the correct amount information.
More detail in the next one then
Well done please do more!! How about large game traps
Ya sure will do
Great format. Dense with info.
Yeah I like the less blabbing thing. More traps!
cool thanks!!!
Great Video!!
I was taught to always clear of any other branches and leaves so it has less wind resistance when sprung. leaving yourself just a bent pole basically. but at the same point it is slightly more obvious to the eye.
Ya if it was all about actually catching food definitely but i didn't want to wast a tree by killing it till i had some thing more to do with it.
love it! please do more
all right im on it
I'd like the trapping videos
Thank you !
Thanks Fowler
Excellent
thank you
Great video as always...what kind of knot is that you used?
i only used a cow hitch for the snare loop with a square and the others were just clove hitches and square knots
Thank you!
Your welcome
Nice.
thank you
more.... more...… MORE GIMME MORE TRAPS I NEED MORE
You should do more of theses.
ok i will thanks for watching !
??How long does one of your shovels last for you?? You do a lot of different work with one.
for ever as far as i know haven rally used one up yet
Thank you for this....I'm gonna set some for hogs on my uncle's property.....southern missouri.....if it's legal....
That sounds like fun you will have to use large wire hogs will chew through paricord in one bite
Fowler's Makery and Mischief yes sir...hey thanks for responding ...enjoyed you on alone....been trying to get on ...filli.g out casting call....
It's legal in some states. I trap this way legally. I you are foot snaring medium sized game, limit you loop size. Nice video.
Yes I just subscribed I want to see more videos
