Mini- Demo Traps

[Md 25v]

I posted this in WSS but thought you guys would like to see it too since we have been talking about traps lately and this kinda pertains to the January challenge as well.

Let me know what you guys think. What I can do to improve it, and what other traps you would like to see added to the series.

So far there is a Paiute Deadfall, Fig4 Deadfall, Vertical Trigger Fig4 Deadfall, Spring Spear trap used for pigs, standard L7 snare, and Treadle Trigger snare.

There's also a shout out to the Esky in the third vid since that's what I used for all parts requiring a knife.

Thanks for posting those. I've been wanting to see how to do a treadle trap for a while now. Good stuff.

That's very clever. I tried making a piaute about that size with a cutting board deadfall - could never get it set. Never thought hot glue.

Great little demo setup. Much like tying knots, I think you have to see a trap to understand how it works.
