    When I was a kid I had a little fort I build in the forest. I used this trigger method attached to a sheet of hidden plywood that dropped down into a hole when stepped on. The other end of the trigger went way up into a pine tree where I had a bucket of swamp water hidden to tip nasty swamp water on whoever stepped on the plywood trigger near the entrance to my fort. I covered the plywood with a thin layer of dirt and leaves to hide it. My little sister came home pretty angry one day hahaha. You've never seen a young boy so pleased with himself in your life. Until dad got home. :D

      That’s awesome, I was doing things like that too. My wife and I worked very hard to move out of the city and get a place in the country, woods in the backyard. It saddens me - I have to kick the kid out of the house. Rather be inside with an electronic. Even before covid 🤷‍♂️

    This video just got you a new subscriber! Brought back memories! Over 60 years ago, I read Jack London and other wilderness books. I learned to make snares and traps. I even ran a "trap line " in brush near a RR track. Since then I survived Vietnam, raising a teenager and a narcissistic ex. These videos brought me to happy memories. Great skills and a talented teaching manner. Thank you

      If you want a few MAJORLY involved fishing traps, find Greg Ovens on TH-cam.
      He made one out of a mousetrap & then one that somehow had the fish get pulled up into this thing that also chopped off it's head too after catching it.
      Both were ice fishing ideas.

      You try to find game trails where animals have walked so it's real close to your sapling it's just a slip knot that they get caught in and it's best if you use brush shrubs dead trees to funnel them into your snare
