[@misakamikoto8785]

@EpicZantetsuken If mice start talking and tell horror stories, I wouldn't be surprised there's ghost mice lol.

[@shanek6582]

Badass rat didn't even flinch when he triggered it.

[@floobertuber]

It's so quick, I have to wonder if the rat even knew what the hell had happened.

[@hard2getitrightagain314]

Shane K I flinched when he triggered it!

[@user-qm6bg5vx9u]

Shane K that makes me think that the rat and the mouse were lab animals.

[@shanek6582]

Lab animals? The rat looked to me like the one on the grassy knoll

[@Nink123]

Shane K ok

No super finger test? 😂

Really looking forward to seeing ancient designs come to life, keep up the good work.

[@Dtrollmancan]

what is "calk"?

[@trodeno6305]

WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE?

[@avilude]

Why are you here?

[@Lachancl_a]

Nerf mercy

[@radpenguin2095]

How do you still have so many mice with all these mondays

[@WSAD08]

Rad Penguin you know, at the barn.

[@TarHeelBrit]

It all comes down to mathematics. Shawn is using subtraction but the other guys are using multiplication....guess who's winning!

[@gilbertberger7234]

At the rate mice reproduce, he isn't killing them fast enough. I can see him doing pest control besides demonstrating the traps. But they mate too quickly & add in that they're drawn to farms, he won't run out of test subjects any time soon.

[@takumi2023]

one quick fix use a barrel with water and peanut butter

[@YouKnowMeDuh]

Mice reproduce really fast. Just go find an Animal Planet documentary. Their males are quite... Ahem... Determined.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

SHAWN here's an IDEA* What about you RUNNING A CONTEST? Allow for "We the Dealers of Death" to suggest and supply you both a Trap & the Plans for it - and you recreate and USE the plans for a showcased trap. Winner(s) can get.... something you make - like (suggestion) an Obsidian Blade or something you select. ~IDEAS-R-US~

[@toasterking7588]

TheOregonOutlaw one of his old hunting weapons he doesn't use

[@chenry7084]

I think the sound of a trap going off has become something of a dinner bell to the mice, sure they might have to crawl over the corpse of their dead brother to get to the food, but that just means its safe now.

[@jesselehmann1643]

ive seen rats eat another rats head that was caught in a trap. truly disgusting animals.

[@IMakePeopleSaltyApparently]

jesse lehmann we do the same thing. Only difference is we put our human meat in the fridge.

[@phototristan]

It didn't even phase the rat

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

"faze"

[@andrubernardo3436]

lol

[@SCP01986]

They've had 427 years to adapt to this kind of trap, that's a lot of generations!

[@Toast_94]

Well, he didn't phase out of the local time space and disappear. So phase is still technically correct.

[@chrismayer3919]

Yeah; that rat was all; 'ehh' NOMNOMNOMNOM

[@williamhayden7711]

Wow, great job Shawn, I really like these homemade traps based on historical models. Great craftsmanship too. The trap looks old and I like it.

[@francistuazon7666]

That Rat was huge as Fck!

[@budgiebreder]

*rat reaches over top of killbar* smart rat has been watching too make of your videos in the making lol

I'm proud of your500 in one minute

[@farmergirlofchickens8779]

That was one cool calm rat. He triggered the trap but barely flinched. 🐭

[@68SpawnofSatan]

that trap is pretty awesome how ever . were the bait is set in i seen the rat looking over the wire and grabbing the bait and setting it off. what if you made like wings on the sides above the bait spot it wont get in the way of the trap or anything but would make the rat stick its head under the wire rather then over it

[@FokkerAce1917]

The notch on the top beam seems to have broken off when it was triggered.

[@jasongenova1741]

You shoulda done this 7 years ago ;)

[@awtsgege9884]

Jason Genova i know right😂😂😂

[@sdjosh9081]

Why?

[@Dosbomber]

Some people are still fascinated with anything involving the number "420"... the meme is already too old.

[@alfredschnozzenstein1657]

+Jason Genova I see what you did there!

[@getamber2671]

Dosbomber This meme will never be too old. Only the people who view it.

[@JGuti-ko2xe]

I think that it's cool, the fact that you made it yourself. Great job Shawn.

[@wickletheewickleton9154]

I love how you make the silver bots and weapons seem special still.

[@Horny_Fruit_Flies]

These medieval mouse traps look brutal. And somehow, I'm not suprised at all.

[@josephd.5524]

Loving the idea of you recreating these archaic designs!

[@ShakerNL]

So many mouse traps you have. You could create your own mouse trap museum.

[@CapnHolic]

This is a great idea. Can't wait to see what you make next.

[@mamacrow2759]

I like these recreations of old designs! Really interesting! keep it up

[@captainkarenobvious3087]

That thing is wicked scary.

[@sev348]

Idk why youtube showed me this but. A whole channel about mouse traps. Radical

[@zasmrcaveman5725]

The early bird gets the worm but, The second mouse always gets the cheese.

[@buzbom1]

You know the producers/creators of all those "SAW" movies are getting some new ideas. Another cool vid Shawn, thumbs up.

[@2006jakebob]

Like the fact you made this with real historical research

[@mik3p.925]

Fascinating design. thanks for sharing

[@richardcampbell2438]

I noticed that the top leading edge, where the toggle sets into a carved slot broke off at its thinnest point, making it impossible to set the toggle in place.

[@tspiderkeeper]

Got my sub for creating a replica of the traps in old times

[@patricialadd520]

Very interesting to learn from our past, things long forgotten! Thank you for sharing! I subscribed.

[@broken_font1881]

If you put a "roof" on that trigger mechanism right above the striker when it's in its primed position, then the rats would not be able to go over the striker.

[@steelbluelibra]

Thanks for making the kill trap videos again. I know you said there is no monetizing these, but we like them. Keep it up!

[@indianajones6747]

I love this series! Keep up the good work buddy. Thumbs up for you

[@williambarnes5023]

I like how that other rat came up and saw the dead rat and was like, "Hey boss, I think this might be a trap." and then noped off.

[@SwampDonkey64]

That rat was a boss. He took the bait from the top of the trap. When the trap went off he didn't even flinch. He stayed and finished his snack like a boss.

[@AntonFromStockholm]

I like the idea that you make your own traps, you should have a campaign for a week when you upload a video per day! Homemade could be a good theme!

[@Eireann.]

LuckyLuke946 thats a really good idea 👍

[@jonr4721]

That would take the fun out of 7 mondays though.

[@AntonFromStockholm]

Irish Obrien thanks 🤗

[@deniseflick6556]

I truly enjoy all of your videos Shawn. The mouse trap ones and the ones where you make primitive hunting gear. When will you be making more videos of you making some more daggers or arrows? Havent seen one in a while. Keep up the good work tho!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Just becaus a tool is primitive doesn't mean it's crude. I love how well-engineered some devices from ancient times were, and this trap is no exception.

[@mypeeps333]

WOW that's crazy !!👍 great video

[@freddylong2292]

I don't know why I enjoy watching these video's so much.

[@ondfritz2]

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

[@lukehatfield8988]

WOW you have some super cool traps..would love to see in person...you should open a shop to show collection and history

[@Iguana5k]

You have so many mousetraps by now, you could open a museum :)

[@frankg8360]

The only channel I watch till the end of the ad

[@desertwindauh]

Fascinating. I just wonder how they were able to make the spring wire-kill bar back then.

[@Gods-bad-boy]

It's the engineering that I'm fascinated with

[@MrAircraftGuy]

Great video! Huge fan of your videos!

[@rhart367]

Needs a cover on top and just a hole for the bait hook to go through and it will catch rats. That way they can't get the bait from above.

[@lindybeige]

Given that many serviceable designs of mousetrap have been devised, why do you think that so many different types exist? Other machines do not get reinvented so many times.

[@user-ft3jq5vi2l]

I don't know. Maybe the just-right combination of a bit of evolutionary pressure, but not so much that it discourages crazy ideas, aswell as some excentrics wanting to kill mice in the most wicked way possible. Also, *Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at screen* hey it's that british history guy!

[@oldieestman]

Keep it up man, i enjoy your videos.

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

+Shawn Woods - I see that after use a piece of wood is missing from the end of the trap armature, where the block for the kill bar suspension string would rest in the notch. Did it break, or did one of the rodents gnaw it off?

[@pinzgauernorcal]

you can make a shroud covering access to the bait from above forcing the rat to enter underneath.

[@deadlocked5260]

Back then: THAT darn kid of mine be making some crazy doofangles, that whippersnapper!

[@Max-ej4oh]

Can you adapt the full dragonbreath extension? So it breathes fire once it catches Jerry's many siblins.

[@indriclarisa9393]

Hi Shawn, I watched your videos, they are all nicely done and highly informative. I learned a lot from them. I just have a quick question, it seems that all the traps are mostly designed for small mouse. Anything that is effective against rats?

[@tylerharris42]

Phwoar make a big version and get that Monstrous rat!

[@J_PIK]

You should make a mouse trap so absurd that it shoots a continuous stream of flame onto the 🐀 after it is caught. Do it for the viewers. This would be amazing and I’m sure would get a lot of viewers to replay it over and over again.

[@michaelwoods7770]

Finally. Been waiting for this one.

[@voltirsilent]

Rat is like: "What? *munch, munch*"

[@_korykordich_]

Please do a scaled up version for rats

[@outdoorsdiy7611]

Let's go set this up with motion cameras in the barn

[@SpiritBear12]

You don't need a bigger version of it to kill rats. I'm quite confident that that trap would do it, you just have to block off access to the bait over the bail from the top. Build a shroud or housing for the trap. Set the trap up, then place the housing or shroud over the trap to cover the bail. The rats can smell the bait and put their head under the bail and over the nails where it belongs and trigger the trap the way it's supposed to work.

[@botatron80]

This is really cool

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

Perhaps you could widen the overhanging part that the trigger goes through to keep rats from reaching the bait over the top.

[@Stray0]

It's truly amazing people weren't dumb as stone 500 years ago. Wow. Amazing.

[@fisharmor]

If you're impressed with how technologically advanced a 1590 mousetrap is, you should check out some of the flying buttress cathedrals or astronomical clocks that predicted eclipses, that they were building 200 years prior to that.

[@tonyholt90]

Very cool trap !

[@Kasey1776]

That is so cool!

[@bearling477]

"amazing that something so advanced is from the 16th century" bro, you realize that was the renaissance, right? Da Vinci was designing tanks and flying machines a hundred years before this mouse trap. The middle ages gave us massive and complicated siege weaponry and steel that was both lightweight and invulnerable to weaponry, plus all of the major colleges we know today.

[@failtolawl]

seems like all you need is some cover so that the rats are more willing to go in the trap rather than above.

[@cheapandeasy1715]

The early bird gets the worm, but the late mouse gets the peanut butter.

[@Ptoksik]

Would you be able to provide a link to the manuscript, as it sounds intriguing?

[@hajee613]

Mousetrap Monday’s is becoming an addiction lol

[@drnostress]

Cool, I love your videos.

[@katedunno1230]

Before I found your Videos Shawn, I never knew I had any interest in mouse traps. Now I love them. Also it looks like KZbin has eased up a bit on live kill traps. I'm glad about that because I want to see the end result. Dead rodents. Thanks as always for great videos

[@Error-nf8yy]

Looks like fun.

[@Crankbait13]

Love this stuff

[@jaspip1678]

What happened to the trigger that the latch hooks onto? Mouse chew on it or did it break from normal use?

[@TheToaster101]

I really enjoy watching these videos and seeing how all the different traps work.

[@vincentb.8672]

Andrew Tan I know right, they're really entertaining

[@undeadwerewolves9463]

Never thought I'd find it so interesting 😂 I love seeing all these different designs

[@billymays8864]

Mmmmmm that pic be smexy

[@williamjarman7466]

Looks sweet doesn't work as good as a simple ones but definitely looks medieval

[@Junkboy888]

Adding two half circles pieces of wood on the left and right of the top arm will stop the rats from getting the Bait from over the kill bar.

[@RationalLlama]

Your voice is so soothing. I want you to read a bedtime story.

[@Daniel-bo1zs]

The wood on mouse trap was broken where it holds the trigger mechanism at the end of the video seems like a lot of work for a trap that you can only use a couple times?

[@terryshrives8322]

Awesome!

If there was a cap on top kind of like whats on the bottom, it would close off the opening on top when the trap is set. The rats would have no choice but to go through the bottom or leave it alone. Larger is probably the better idea though.

[@TheSleepyKit]

The trap didn't look like it was in great condition towards the end of the video. It was missing some spikes, there were a few cracks in the wooded base and the notch looked like it had been chewed off. I'm curious as to the endurance of this trap.

[@zainorton6292]

Damn this looks so evil.

[@billymays8864]

EEEEVIL

[@lovro_ribic]

You know it's deadly when he doesn't just let his fingers be smashed by it

[@SaukeChase26]

Wow this was cool

[@johnjoe3097]

I wish I had a bezzilion mouse traps like you.. the traps in my house won't fall for the same trap over and over , need to change my trap every now and then.

[@jodyreeder4820]

Amazingly good.

[@djohnson3678]

superb !

[@inspectorsteve2287]

The spring wire looks like a coat hanger you cut.

[@vh2929]

these old mouse traps are cool

[@bettykuykendall2083]

AWESOME 👍
