Who wouldn't want to spend a day with Bob just learning from him? What an awesome video!

[@davidwalbert]

very professionally done Bob. your videos just get better and better. thank you.

[@BobHansler]

+David Walbert Appreciate it. It's about time to show some of these in action and take it to the next level. Have 15 traps out tonight... see what sunrise brings.

[@mediclimber]

1982 through 1986, I long lined for fox, raccoon, mink, muskrat. It was a truck line, 80 miles a day, 500+ sets, kept me and the wife under a roof with heat, electric, clothes and food. It wasn't easy but I did enjoy it.

[@JunkyardFox]

jut might be my favorite video youve made thus far. the victor trap is a classic, ive caught chipmunk, round squirrel, rock squirrel, dove, quai, always have at least four in my truck. other items im new to so id like to try them out, like the loofah.

[@BobHansler]

+Junkyard Fox The loofah will blow your mind. So much potential and cheap enough that you can experiment and tear a few up in the process. Instant net or sein, priceless.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

Junkyard Fox your videos are amazing too sir 😇

[@ashreymarie]

Completely agree about deer being gone fairly quickly, something that most don't seem to comprehend.

[@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin]

A bug out bag that isn't just an AR with 12Ibs of shit on it and several thousands of rounds of ammunition? Am I on bizarro youtube?

[@MajorMatatheTurtleNerd]

An AR is fun but a Mosin is better Mr Mosin. You have a gun, skewer, and club all in one.

[@funfrankie8990]

Nice video! Finally someone who calls junk junk, unlike many armchair professionals who do not want to say anything negative in case they don't get more free junk sent to them! Thanks for sharing.

[@ottawavalleybushcraft]

Your approach is pragmatic. I agree that hunting is calorie inefficient but sometimes opportunity knocks at your door. Foraging while you check your traps/nets makes sense to me. The loofah tip is a new one for me...blew my mind and I'm going to explore their use. I've carried Therabands and sugical tubing in my pack for years...pretty handy tk have around. I was always taught that best thing you can carry into the woods is knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing some of yours with us. PROPS Bob - all the way from Ontario, Canada. -MB

[@kennygwarne7893]

Thank you Bob, Another well made easy to comprehend video. always enjoy you vast knowledge of survival.

[@jimmyconner4186]

Bob, I like when you tell some thing is not worth the money. I don't have money to spend on worthless items that wont work. I sure like your videos!

[@nantahalawildman6345]

Have binged watched your videos today. You've got a natural ability to delivery information (coming from a former teacher). Thank you for sharing!

[@nantahalawildman6345]

Connibears?

[@BobHansler]

Perhaps someday. Not many nutrias here currently.

[@margaritawaltz3342]

Love your vids..the teacher in you comes through...great job!!

[@kennethmccluskey4688]

Really liking your videos. I love the yoyo reels. So useful. I had wondered about the quality of those cards. Thank you for showing how flimsy it actually is. I had a loofa come apart on me one time in the shower and was amazed at the potential usefulness. Untill then I had never even really considered how they were made. They are also handy for use as bags for gathering edibles.

[@ryannlarge8414]

The pen rods are pretty decent actually. The spinning combo works well for me. I've used mine fishing for bullhead, sunfish, trout, perch, and bass without any problem. I actually used mine for a catch and cook with a friend at a some what local quarry camp ground and it held up for hours. It stays in my vehicle bag with a backup spool of 6lbs flourocoat and some tackle.

[@jko9581]

Bob: thank you for another great video. I learn so much from you. The three takeaways from this video are 1) The loofah idea was fabulous. Functional, multi use and very light. 2) The Penrod idea is great. I've used a couple and I have to say the reel you have is a major POS. It is absolutely impossible to cast. The spinning reel is the best bet. Glad you warned the viewers that the reel is junk.

[@jko9581]

The third take away is the use of bungee material. Again light versatile and multi functional. Congrats on another great video and prayers for you and your family thank you so much for your contributions

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thanks Bob For sharing these useful tips. 👍🇬🇧

[@davidbroadfoot4214]

very nice presentation style Bob,.. and i agree trapping, snares and nets especially for fish,,, is best way to go,, frees up time to do shelter and firewood and clothing care.

[@LadyTSurvival]

thank you for your tips i actually just now ordered 4 of the collapsible crawdad traps... hopefully they will fit in my bob. i already have foothold traps and some conibears

[@riverstick8895]

Got to check out this loufa thing

[@Tex_Babylon]

Nicely done bud. Glad to have found your channel. Keep it up.

[@paultanner2007]

Brother you have a awesome channel!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@bkgcolt2433]

Very well thought of and there really is no cheating when it's survival everything you thought of is handy and definitely something people should carry well outdoors men at least

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Excellent, dood. I also usually carry a mattress bag just as a last ditch emergency sleeping shelter. Most mattress stores will give you one free if you ask them.

[@jmh7884]

i seen some one on youtube replace the wood on the rat trap with aluminum thin and light great vid i like watching vids. from people from texas because i just moved hearc can't wait for the next vid great work

[@BobHansler]

+Jordan Hyland I've seen that as well. Called it a robo-trap. I like the idea, corrugated aluminum plate. Would definitely be a work-around.

[@AlexB-tt5di]

very good video - small watertight flashlight and a notebook for writing down where all the traps are located and maybe some orange duck tape to mark them could also be useful

[@dannyh9010]

Those loofas / bath poofs also make excellent tarp and hammock snake skins.

[@brucedelagarza9641]

Love your wisdom. Great video.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

I use a 3' section section of bungee cord as the sling for my survival shotgun It also doubles as the engine for my snare and/or fish trap

[@Adam-xd9ws]

I like a Crosman model 1377, it fits on the hip and you can load it up with 2 pellets and 3 BBS and you can take up to a groundhog or possum with it easily. Or you can load it single and you have a very accurate little pistol up to 40 yards. I used it when I camped in California for 10 months and was my go to for squirrels and quail. Usually just seeing things on my daily tasks, not actively hunting. Who would have thought of a luffa? Haha that's awesome..

[@larrythewalrus8132]

So I went fishing earlier today and it has nothing to do with the video and I didn't catch anything but I am still very happy :)

[@Slumberjacksix]

Another excellent video.

[@liquidpremium]

Once again, I learn more from you in 15 minutes than from the rest of the KZbin survival community in months. Would you mind writing down a list of those items with links in the description? Thanks. I'm going to read up on my local laws.

[@BobHansler]

+Wild Calendar No problem. Ill post at midnight. Internet is fapped at the moment and ebay wont run on the low bandwidth... I'll throw in a few other goodies on the list as well that I left off.

[@comfortouch]

I looked at those readyman cards online. Those hooks looked like a minnow would straighten them out. Plus, I can carry a LOT more & better hooks in a lot less space. You'd be surprised how much tackle can fit in a TicTac container.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

this was a real good overview im a firm belief in traps you can get them big rat traps in metal not that expensive either will do the job for small animals leg holds and snares will put food on the fire

[@jonsey3645]

Great stuff to know, thanks Bob.

[@danieltriplett6717]

Great Information, Thanks for the learning opportunity

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

wow always great information, I think this is your best yet !!

[@montamoarmando]

I AM A FARMER FROM MEXICO.AND I TELL YOU PEOPLE ...THIS GUY IS THE SHIT.....LEARN A LOT WHIT THIS GUY..THANK YOU BOB...GOD BLESS YOU..

[@BobHansler]

Appreciate the endorsement. Have to make my way down to the border after a while and see what possibilities can be afforded there in Mexico. Cheers.

[@soccertechnicalinstitutell9477]

amazing presentation...I'm getting this pole !

[@sharpcaptain9988]

I am impressed b your knowledge and skill and like the videos thanks for sharing the knowledge ..

[@ajarrell3919]

Well done. I carry very similar. I use 3/16 bungee for the bug net ridgeline on my mosquito netting and as a trap trigger system on snares as well. I use rubber tubing from a tossed out exercising type contraption for the slingshot, trap engine, spearing and turnequet or broken bone setting around improvised braces. If I may suggest, for "survival" go ahead and get some cable snares and keep them in the gear. I keep 6-8 locking med game sized coiled up under my cooking cup. Another idea I use is 304 annealed stainless steel wire ( airplane safety locking wire) It is very pliable, tensle strength is nearly triple of brass wire and very reusable. plus it can be used for field expedient sutures. Wont give up all my tricks but am interested in your classes. Will sub. BoJericho

[@BobHansler]

+A jarrell Definitely have me thinking. I do have some of the pro snares, but I am always fighting the moisture that eventually ends up corroding everything it can. I keep vet sutures in the first aid kit, good for so many things. I'll look into the stainless steel wire, should work nicely.

[@TheGrizzlyHillbilly]

Brilliant. what brand of fishing line would you recommend that won't deteriorate or become brittle in a year or two? i haven't been able to find any so I use #8 bankline. it's a whole lot stronger, I either tie it to a stick or do it by hand.

[@LadyTSurvival]

there are all steel rat traps available from david canterbury's store. wilderness outfitters

[@MrBbqed]

Good and informative video!

[@crowtein6104]

I just recently discovered your channel after watching you and your Canadian buddy the wooded beardsman series of videos. I’m glad I stumbled across your videos, lots of cool content! If you ever want to do some filming on a few hundred acres in California message me. Also have some land up near port Angeles that can make a cool series. Take it easy, 8🔴⚪️1

[@lemikaelz4861]

Nice upgrade

[@charlesloveday9208]

Another great video...for true survival there's no cheating. Theres snare traps for fishing...green saplings set on bank with a line attached & hook for size of fish Ur after.

[@bigbangerik66]

Ever think about adding zip ties? Light and very useful.

[@treym322]

Bob, I noticed you’re always wearing that necklace and a paracord bracelet. I’m assuming they’re both for survival as well. Would you care to elaborate more about them and possibly where to purchase such items?! Thank you! And as always thank you for your time and knowledge! You sir are very informative

[@bigdaddyhalpin4645]

Awesome video

[@danthompson1m]

Another great one.

[@281covfefe5]

Awesome vid !!

[@zzzombiez]

Your kit and mine are fairly similar. I haven't found a trap Ilike yet that it isn't homemade, I was considering those little narrow gopher traps they sell. Ready Man cards were a patent infringement on teh thicker and better thought out design of the Arrowcards (patented), which are much better built and in a bunch of models, including one with an atlatl-sized head - although I don't have an issue with the smaller head sizes to pin an animal, and then polishing it off with a tomahawk or club. Arrowcards are Made in the USA, by Primalware. Worth a look, if you don't improvise your own. HTH. - Mike

[@phillipkarnehm7712]

great video showed me a lot

[@gantin100]

question about the speed hooks. Do you find bluegill setting off the device without actually landing the fish?

[@bryanjaeck4828]

good video with different ideas....

[@Doug-do7ge]

Great stuff

[@Dutch1911a1]

I find it a bit funny what you said about the ready man card. I had this exact conversation with friends last weekend and took the same stance as you. They swear up and down it's awesome. I said fine, let me ask you this. Is this something you would be your wife's life upon??? Crickets.... Once again, well done my friend. Love your insight on your videos. Thank you for taking the time. Dutch

[@BobHansler]

+David Sidwell It looked so amazing in the ads, and the pictures were awesome!!! and this it was a flop. Perhaps a thicker and more thought out design would work better.

[@Dutch1911a1]

+Bob Hansler Excellent case of Fantastic Advertising!

[@shannonbtanner]

The only think I would add is Bank Line...Very good cordage for just about anything really

[@BobHansler]

Always keep a few rolls around. Handy stuff, but I can only fit so much in my pack ; ) Thanks for watching. I'll be demonstrating the use of some of these items here in the coming months. Cheers.

[@jackpierce9355]

What brand and model of knife,that you Carrie on all your videos? You make very good down to earth videos.I live in the Arizona dessert.I am thinking about buying a bowie knife,can not afford over 200.00 dollars.Can you recommend one? Than you.

[@TheBootheelKid]

Good Video Man

[@gulfchef]

Very nice!

[@brerrabbit4265]

I've hunted, trapped and fished just to eat and I have found that the best time spent in the quest for food is fishing hands down. I've never went hungry living on a lake. I damn near starved living in the woods.

[@dougspizman6751]

Late 2 the party.....whats ur opinion on conibears? They seem 2 be very popular for BoBs.

[@joeyjones9041]

Why not Conibear traps? Too bulky and heavy? I have some 110's and 220's in my long term bug out bag.

[@camel_man]

Could make a belt with the paracord I made one for a 32in waist with 88ft of cord

[@tonynapoli5549]

All good to me Thanks 👍🇬🇧

[@dannyh9010]

I remember reading that during the great depression in the 1930's raccoons were hunted to the point of becoming quite rare.

[@jamesedwards1588]

Do you use the yo-yos in combination with the speed hooks

[@raymondbailey1970]

Cast nets are the dogs balls and there are no restrictions in a survival scenario.

[@combatveteransusa9369]

You bet, good stuff to carry

[@kittymorse7402]

Good video

[@eddiehoff5278]

The way that you explain (teach) is beyond compare. It seems to me that you are sharing information and not lecturing. I also appreciate your philosophy concerning animals.

[@chanseortzman2033]

hey I've been watching you videos for a while it would be really cool to see that spear pole in action in a video using it for fishing or for giging

[@BobHansler]

+Chanse Ortzman I'll have better ones come spring and the frogs will be a force of nature this year due to the returning rains. Here's an early video that I shot a while back. Rebuilding the light systems on the boat 3x brighter now and getting it geared up for the season. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZbQlXioq5aBfNU

[@royyulianto2912]

[@briandaviskit77]

nice job

[@Letsrideht8806]

What brand and size traps are those leg traps??

[@gaillevine7461]

Yay! Love the logic of trapping....have other things you should be doing. Everyone else has a pseudo glamorous outlook on survival. Your channel is much more realistic. Appreciate it.

[@loerabear]

forgot the hot sauce..!

[@ricksandfort8836]

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Maui Randall Hahha, thanks man!

[@traesdb11]

Still no handgun! just kidding I believe you will get to it eventually. do you recommend a place to buy the spear pole? Also where is a good place to get the accordion trap?

[@BobHansler]

+TDB www.ebay.com/itm/110827905380?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT www.ebay.com/itm/TRAVEL-POLE-SPEAR-carry-case-scuba-Heavy-Duty-spearfish-equip-Break-down-model-/301566430813?hash=item4636c28e5d:g:HacAAOSweW5VCLRw Scour Ebay and Amazon for that spear pole. I've bought several for about 35.00.

[@traesdb11]

Thanks man. My wife is sadly starting to figure out that whenever your videos are on my screen, there is a transaction happening soon!

[@BobHansler]

+TDB Haha, at least most of the stuff is fairly low budget... Or at least durable enough to last for a decade or so. Hours of fun with that spear pole though.

[@stevenlewis7534]

Couldn’t agree more

[@domonicsalinas2547]

i feel like yoyos would be great for bird snares

[@trulyinfamous]

That leghold trap seems like it would be effective, but I'd feel bad about causing all that suffering to the animal because it will be struggling for a while until it bleeds out. The victor trap kills them quickly so I wouldn't feel as bad using it.

[@BobHansler]

Yes and no.

[@Vera-xu3xw]

Leg hold traps dont usually kill anything USUALLY. It just holds them till you come back.

[@donavanblue9247]

Love the idea of the acordian trap but have not seen any on my web search. where did t come from?

[@BobHansler]

+donavanblue9247 I pack at least 2. Most effective type of trap, especcially with the second keeper funnel inside. Have fun with it man.

[@donavanblue9247]

Thank you very much for the help. I cannot wait to get a few of these & see what happens =D Bob Hansler

[@BobHansler]

Keep me posted. Weather is warming up, it's about time to bring out the toys.

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

what is the make and model of the medal traps iv trapped for 60 years and never saw ones like that

[@BobHansler]

+embarado smithing and woodcraft They are pretty handy. Description and link to the E-bay listing in the description box.

[@hugofilipeantunes]

Good, good, good video...

[@joshnagenmurugiah4531]

This guy reminds me of Michael J. Fox in Back To The Future. Same voice too.

[@jamesedwards1588]

Who makes that leg hold trap?

[@gbro1988]

you can probably use a trekking pole for the spear also?

[@BobHansler]

+gabriel As a trekker, Id forgo trekking poles as their use is rather limited. I am however a fan of a good appropriately long walking stick, which could definitely double as a spear. Walling sticks often feel like a hassle for the first day or so, but you get used to the weight and they come in handy more often than one might think.

[@gbro1988]

+Bob Hansler I just got to carry a sling that you were talking about thanks for your information extremely helpful

[@BobHansler]

That spearpole sling is invaluable. Have fun with it.

[@AlexT-cn4bn]

have you heard of the diy water bottle minnow/crawfish trap

[@BobHansler]

I have not. Tried a quick search and google couldn't come up with anything. What is it?

[@BobHansler]

Ah, DIY, I read it dry... sorry , yes I have. Though I will make a video over them eventually, know that it is illegal to use them in many states. They can be incredibly useful and effective, but it is one of those things that is good to know how to do for survival, not something that can be used in the everyday.

[@AlexT-cn4bn]

Ok cool keep up the good work!!!

[@LongWangHung6969]

I had an instructor that used to say: "in a real fight or survival situation, if youre not cheating, youre not trying hard enough to win."

[@Survial9999]

can you provide a link for the spear and band please

[@BobHansler]

+Survial9999 No problem. Ill post at midnight. Internet is fapped at the moment and ebay / diver supply wont run on the low bandwidth... I'll throw in a few other goodies on the list as well that I left off.

[@justinschramm8481]

wait wait wait. I loved the video but that card thing at the end bugged me. why not take it out and put it to the test before dismissing it? it just seemed like you dismissed it before you gave it any chance or tried any part of it.

[@BobHansler]

+Justin Schramm Years and years of using all manner of gear. I've taken over 1000 people out on trail over the years, each bringing their own unique gear as well as the various products that I've tried here and there. There are things that seem like they would work... but fail utterly. The card is nothing like the one they show for the ad promotion, much thinner. If you are to use the hooks, you must remember to bring line with you as well... should just throw some actual quality hooks in your wallet if that is the case. The saws have enough metal on them to take down fleshy weeds... nothing more. The spear points look large when they are in my hand up close to the camera, but understand specs, the triple point is still the size of a half dollar and utterly useless. snare toggles require the appropriate line for use, have to make sure you have that, might as well pack some steel leaders instead. It seems like a viable option, that is why I bought it... but it really is trash. Give me a pair of scissors and a coke can and I'll carve the same thing out, It'll be the same thickness and durability and cost nothing at all.

hey Bob just wondering where you went man

[@BobHansler]

+Slicky Brit Sorry senior, Though the oil companies here in Texas are caving... the local rigs across the land decided to recase and shuffle pump-jacks for a few weeks. Miles away, the generators and sounds of heavy cranes span the forests until nothing is at peace. Went ahead and ranted a backhoe for a few weeks to make the best of it.. Property is looking good, orchards and garden are getting there heading into spring, but not getting videos made has been weighing upon me, This coming week iIl be pushing them through each day. The plants are green the fish are biting, and if the weather doesn't float me away I aught to have some good stuff coming up soon.

[@saltofpetra-4502]

WAT WAS THE SPEAR THING
