Get funny looks from fellow hikers.........

Thanks Doc. This is part of a larger area of interest of mine including snares, deadfall traps, spears, blunt projectile weapons. This is a great thread that is right up my alley, so to speak, and I am bookmarking it for future reference. If we had such a thing on bladeforums, I'd nominate this thread for "thread of the month." Pierre rocks too.

The first trap: I'd be inclined to use a small stand off loop just above the noose and poke a pointed trigger stick through that. Thus, the four corner uprights would not be necessary to provide tension. You'd just need something there to lift the noose a little clear of the deck. My way only a single stick needs to be really driven in hard.

Hey baldtaco-II,

I was looking back over this thread, and thought some more about your modification. It's a definite improvement over the Miwok, both in setting up, and reducing the tension on the corner sticks. It's definitely on the list for the next trap play day. Thanks for the suggestion.
