I was camping in Texas with my nephew on a small island that split a fairly large creek (could almost consider it a river). I wasn't paying attention and used a barbless hook with line attached to a spring pole. I had a bell attached to the line let me know I was getting a bite. I heard it ring and got to it in time to see the pole launch a good-sized pan fish from one side of the island to the other side of the creek. My nephew asked me "what the hell was that?" I said, "Apparently I'm relocating fish under the witness protection program". Ate cup o noodle soup that night. Went to a trotline setup instead the next day.

[@dustinweatherby5518]

That was probably the most straight forward survival/bushcraft technique I've learned in ages. Very well done sir thank you

[@ogk9com]

Thanks Dave for everything, really! About a 10? yrs ago you sold me a slingbow and some other stuff for an 8 year old. He's grown to a strong young man with skills to live without. We left our Ohio/Amish community for the woods of Texas and the tonight another son is watching your videos too. God bless you and yours.

[@kylebraxton2668]

Wow, what a wonderful concept. Getting straight to the video without a 30 minute intro. Great video!

[@ky4tgtodd203]

Thanks Dave for all you have done over the years for the bushcrafting/trapping /survivalist community! No one has been better at passing on their knowledge for current and future generations of bushcrafters! You’re the best brother! God bless you!

[@alexanderbielski9327]

He's taught us all a lot. He's taught me almost everything I know. I will be passing that knowledge to my children and they will know his name.

[@terryqueen3233]

The fishing part of that trap is so much better than tying it to your toe. What an excellent trap. Thanks Dave that is way simpler and the way I used to sell them.

[@duybear4023]

Very educational! If I see a fish in the trees, I'll know how it got there.

[@ClayTallStories]

An excellent clear informative demo of how to make the Twitch-up trap thank you, Dave. In my own experience, I have found that it takes 7-9 set traps to set in an average rabbit-populated area in the countryside here in New Zealand for me to bag one rabbit a night. I will bring a video out on this in action in my next primitive video.

[@Occupuyourspine]

Pleased to see trapping still happens. 80 year old guy here. In the winter bunnies run on obvious paths in the snow I made loops of brass wire. drove in a peg & laid the wire right on the paths, snow would soon cover the snare and sooner or later a rabbit would step into my snare. Every time I checked there was a rabbits foot in the snare. yup every snare I set this way got a bunny. But too hard to get back to the snare before a coyote does. Yes I fed them coyotes all winter; I also caught weasels with small leg hold traps. I skinned them & the HBC would buy the pelts from me. 🤠. I did not trap except in the winter for fur.

[@dointh4198]

That was one of the best videos to that subject I've ever seen. Very impressed by the knots - very well thought through with a lot of experience.

[@philipmyers7687]

Brilliant, simple, and elegant as always Dave. Thank you for all that you do. You are a blessing to me and my family. ❤️🙏🏼

[@nicholasparker6988]

I learn more in five minutes with Dave than hours and days spent with so-called experts. Dave is clear, concise, and gifted teacher of survival and bushcraft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with the world.

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Beautiful larks head and marlin spike combination. Certainly a super secure knot but yet easily undone. Totally brilliant Dave. Superb trap/trigger method. Thanks so much for all you do on this channel. I sent I application to the 2023 Alone Challenge. Wish me the good fortune of getting selected. Jim Rodgers

[@16prospector]

Awesome teaching Dave. You keep getting better and better at effective demonstrations step by step. I particularly enjoyed the larks head slip knot. Would never have thought of that combination.

[@jrocket092887]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mr Canterbury.

[@AstroVanTribe]

This is how my dad taught me - We'd go camping when I was real young, sleeping on the ground, no tent. He'd set a couple of these and a trout line with a dozen or so baited hooks and we'd eat for days.... Rabbit, squirrel, racoon, fish....

[@OzMan9989]

That larks head slip knot is great. Very useful.

[@user-nn6hf4ws9m]

Awesome very informative video. Simplified enough that nearly anyone could do this. Thank you.

[@vincentcleaver1925]

KZbin offered me a fourteen year old one of your videos and I'm impressed you've been doing this this long. Great stuff!

[@outdoorztime2923]

Nicely done, and the way the world is getting, it just might come in handy one day.

[@zefdin101]

You’re a great teacher Dave. Very well explained and understandable. Great stuff to know!

[@2greeksandacamera]

Dave you’re the best and getting better and more clearly demonstrated information to us always. You were also the best back when they had you paired with the other guy on the tv show. He was good, but his personality was too competitive for the entire concept of survival being a cooperative team effort.

[@woodstrekker6345]

Thanks Dave. God Bless everyone at SRO.

[@johnsellers9623]

I’ve watched so many of these types of videos and it’s just like the knot tying videos, at least with me anyway. But you can watch someone doing it a hundred times but until you get the rope or string or wire and physically make the knots or cut the pieces of wood and do it yourself you will be lost in the field. It’s not hard. But the more you do it the more you can fine tune the snare or perfect the knots. That’s what happened to me. I couldn’t remember a quarter of the information or skills shown to me from watching a video and began to think I was stupid. Well maybe I am. But hands on makes it happen and the more you do it the better you will get. Dave there definitely knows his stuff and that’s a fact. But all he can tell and do is show you. You have to do it yourself to know how to do it. Buddy your videos are always amazing and appreciated thank you for sharing your experience with us ✌️👍🇺🇸

[@mikejeffsteel]

Always learning something new from you Dave! Thanks!

[@markottinger]

I like the use of orange line for demonstration 👍

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

I've never had to use all that boy scout stuff I learned. But, it certainly could come in handy. Some think survival is running around the woods with a AR. Those guys will starve quickly....

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

All this stuff is BoyScout stuff , my wilderness survival instructor was such a hard ass .if you earned the merit badge ,you were qualified to survive the apocalypse !

[@TheOutsideLife9]

thank you for teaching me everything i know David. These skills will last any man or woman a lifetime.

[@fmh357]

IMHO that was one of the best examples of how this kind of snare or fishing trap works. Good job.

[@fredschmidt3148]

DC is the foremost bushcraft voice out here. Please keep perfecting your skillset Dave.

[@feldarbeiter7171]

Every time the best teacher ! Thanks and all the best for everyone,from Germany 🌳🌲

[@EDHBry]

You are an excellent teacher, thank you!

[@highgatehandyman6479]

Marlin spike to larkshead knot. I will say that although these are basic details i have learned so much application from Dave on this subject over the years. Super useful

[@bunyslayer]

Thanks for actually showing what your doing and explaining it clearly, great videos man!

[@rctrix9063]

This is an excellent demonstration of trap design and application. Thank you for your time.

[@yessroman]

Unlike some other fellows, this man values the message more than the the messenger. Subbed.

[@alexanderbielski9327]

Super awesome trap trigger system. I like using a counter balance like a log so I don't have to find a spring pole but I'm definitely adding this trigger to how I set it up.

[@Dreoilin]

Dave, great content! I love learning new stuff like this, teaching my 4 kids too.

[@codycox2685]

Loving the influx of new videos.

[@zombie_snax]

Yep, I used to use it for fishing. I use a beer can and when it snaps , it hits the can . Perfect for catfish and always free. I'd love to see a video on that. People are wasting money on tech . It's extremely satisfying to hear that can pop .

[@davidoliver2826]

Always enjoy your explanation of these traps! Thanks Dave!

[@2AMS-BLINDNATION]

WHATS UP DAVID. SIR I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE DUAL SURVIVOR. I LOVED THAT SHOW. YOU WERE AWESOME BRO. SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. I HAD NO IDEA YOU HAD ONE. LOOKING FOWARD TO BINGE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT

[@davidleasure9138]

Great traps demonstration. Snares will produce food for sure

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thank you for offering a well-constructed tutorial!

[@cjfazio3012]

Always enjoy Dave’s videos. I believe him to be the salt of the earth type of person

[@Flashahol]

Your content and teaching style are really exemplary!

[@duaine.jcouch9606]

You da man Dave..! Thanks for teaching triggers as so many others don’t..!

[@felgercarb-mu5rc]

Dave teaches great sprinpole snare trap! Dave is a super teacher!

[@randypennington4968]

ABSOLUTELY great instructions as always !!! Keep it COMING evermore learning !!!Thanks

[@shadomane]

Great instructional video. Awesome trigger. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Dave.

[@greywindLOSP]

DC, On the bait stick I use a smooth rock or coin on the ground to give it a faster smoother trip.....JMO....Excellent demo always enjoy the traps & triggers ....ATB

[@tinaanderson9868]

Thank you for making the knots understandable!

[@benthere8051]

I love your larks head jam knot.

[@user-wq6lm8um4j]

Well done. I bought the Traps and Snares Card Deck from Ready Hour that I use out in the bush to practice, but this was super thorough and gave me extra details. Thx

[@ronperrault8182]

Very good demonstration. I will be putting it together and saving the parts in a bag. I will make a few of them Thx.

[@slickydicky]

Heck yea! This is what I was talking about the other day when I said I miss the older style of videos you would make!

[@crawford323]

Very well done. Linked to further explanations and instructions of the knots you favor would perfect what you have done. Excellent!

[@cripplers8]

Learn something new every day. Thanks Dave!

[@Xacerbated]

I really like the trigger system on this one! I’ll have to try it out soon. Thanks again!

[@mathewwyne711]

A very informative and educational video. Still doesn't out do my wife though, she's got the most primitive and effective meat trap known to man.

[@ekbusdriver]

Never looked at anything like this before. Very well explained! I just need to learn the knots/hitches.

[@raywilliams1969]

Get video. Very informative and easy to follow as always Dav. Thank you again for sharing.

[@ebony5766]

I love these kind of vudeos! I'm going to try this tomorrow.

[@abcstardust]

Thank you for your excellent explanation of this useful snare! I feel like I can make it happen.

[@RomoRooster]

When I was young I was taught the figure 4 dead fall, I eventually developed different snares, swinging logs and live traps based off the figure 4 triggers. Even alarm systems using those pull-string party poppers and throw snaps and figure 4 triggers

[@user-vd8ns5ox4p]

I like Dave's teaching style

[@kaiboy1116]

Thanks mate.

[@davidhorsey7164]

Cheers Dave great and valuable Info a lot of people don't like this kind of thing but if it keeps you alive longer I have no trouble with it very handy to know if stuck or injured away from civilisation cheers bro

[@kevinthewanderingwoodchuck2586]

Out the door I go to give this a try! Thanks so much Dave

[@charlesleblanc6638]

Quite a neat trap set .. Well explained and looks effective. Thanks

[@Adventuristic89]

Love this Dave. Just ordered your book on trapping too. Excited to get out & try some of your stuff 👍

[@ensporium8857]

For the algorithm 🎉

[@matthewdukes3207]

Response to your comment for the algorithm.

[@muzzleflash1]

​@@matthewdukes3207 Replying to your reply on the comment.

[@manta1969manta]

Yeah! My favourite snare! Really good lesson video! Thanks!

[@elund408]

Nice, so many ways to use this trigger put it to the side of a trail and put your loop vertical etc.

[@robdavidson4945]

Thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciate your videos.

[@zombie_snax]

Dude, I've used a similar setup for fishing for years. I never put the two together. Good looking out brother. Thank you.

[@celuiquipeut6527]

Wow! Hopefully i will never have to use this for my survival...but man am i glad i learned this today!!!

[@jgunther3398]

i hadn't heard of the "poacher's loop" knot before. good the way it tightens and has friction compared to say just a bowline with the string passing through

[@cassioalexsander9725]

That's a very useful video. Now I'm going to look for your videos about knots. Thanks, mister.

[@pfcaraujo]

You are the best!! I’m adopting you as my grandpa!

[@FosterHeninger]

Fantastic demonstration, thanks for sharing

[@ExpeditionaryJonny]

Hey, Dave! This video is great and the timing is perfect. I remember you showing some of these tricks at your primitive trapping class but it is taking some time for the details to sink in. I'll be going back and revisiting this one several times. I appreciate you, brother!

[@1Epicdoom]

Simple and effective ty Brother for another outstanding trap for my arsenal

[@alfredo4988]

Very informative video, easy to understand. Thank you.

[@splishsplash2579]

A very efficient and simple trap can't fail , One thing to consider a problem may arise when throwing out the fishing line not to set the trap and ideally you want to keep the line as taught as possible Cheers UK

[@traviseberhart5796]

Thanks Dave, I’m going to give this one a shot.

[@insanityks1]

Good video! Thanks for the close up detail! Wore my glasses for it Dave! 😅

[@mad151maxx4]

Hey Dave, SO happy to see on video again. Hope all is well. I'll be subscribing. Keep them coming.

[@americanpatriotbill]

Professional at work !!!! Outstanding AF

[@j-sonS]

I will never do any of these things but love it!

[@PRICKLES13]

DAVE!!!! I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT VOICE! Great to see you again!!!!

[@h2oski1200]

sure would like to see how u did the poachers loop/larks head thing. I really liked the marlin spike hitch/larks head combo, although I might have just used a constrictor knot there. anyways, learned something new so thanks!

[@visnuexe]

Awesome how to for something I had a Dickensons understanding how to set up!

[@stephanygates6491]

Wonderfully detailed explanation!

[@ASeekerOfLostSkills]

Thanks for another great video, hope your well.
