3 Easy Spring Snare Traps ~ Primitive ~ Survival

[@TXFoolery]

Been searching for skills to add to my "kit"; this is the best video I have come across by far. Others put way too much superfluous talk, which distracts from what you have made a very straight-forward approach that is easy to adopt. Thank you.

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

Correct TXF .

[@richardneagle3177]

These videos might save someone's life .. bravo 👏

[@freepointsgals609]

Oh my god that's so cool! I understand the basic mechanism of how a snare works!

[@johnkeller7273]

Finally someone who makes a quality informing video in a short amount of time. Thank you.

[@crowhawk6626]

Back in the day, I snared everything from sparrows with horsehair or fishing line, to roe deer with washing line rope. For rabbits I always found parachute chord was far more versatile than the traditional brass wire. You could cut the chord to length to suit whatever run you were snaring.

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks for watching Laura and for the no silly bollocks comment 😉💜

[@Printerguy360]

Very informative. To the point. No useless banter. Thank you. Going to try to trap this weekend.

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it bro. I'm out trapping rabbits and squirrels over the next week. Let me know how it goes for you. Cheers, Andy

[@agridlife1495]

GREAT !!! You just made me look like a PRO~ I set the Lock Spring Snare. Super easy...thanks

[@TheGeneticHunters]

Very well made love the techniques and appreciate you putting in the effort to show others that aren't aware of these

[@williamperrin2880]

Nice, easy, simple and efficient. Excellent video.

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

Very well demonstrated as always . 3 great trigger mechanisms and the tree branches are plenty large enough not to get what I call "memory" / lose their spring ability . Your videos are always awesome Andy . My best wishes to You and your loved ones . Lefty - Patrick

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks Patrick. Sorry for the late reply. Iv been away for a month and not had much time to log on. I hope your well brother. You to... peace and love to you and yours

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

Things are fairly ok . Been hittin the beer a bit too much , but ok for an old guy . Would love to see you make a video for the Bulgarian Board of Tourism . Your English speaking voice and awesome accent would be perfect + ... it would make you a few quid ... maybe quite a few . Just my opinion - Make a video and submit it to them . They will say yes or no . If they are smart , they will jump on it . The perfect job would be getting paid to travel around the country making videos promoting tourism , historical sites , architecture etc. "Bulgaria - The Enchanted Land " They provide the automobile , petrol and living / travel expenses + a salary . Enough of my weird ideas . Take care Brother .

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks Patrick. Make sure you take care of yourself brotha. I started drinking alot while I was in Bulgaria last year. Loneliness I think!? Alcohol can work as a depressant in most cases. I stick to having a few spliffs in the evenings nowadays. Less harmful and cheers me up, rather than depressing me like beer does. That's a great idea! Iv been spending alot of time in Bulgaria recently. Been back and forth four times in two months. Finally bought a house and land out there. I'd love to arrange something with the tourism board. Any extra income would come in handy when I finally move out there permantly. Thanks again for all the kind words and support my friend. It's muchly appreciated. Shame you live so far away. I'd love to go on a camp/ hunt and get to know you better. Your a good man. Stay safe, Andy

[@abbycatlover]

I’m hoping soon I can master these snares! Thank for the new knowledge!😁

[@drewmcrae2798]

Great video, I have watched others and am always left confused and overwhelmed with knot tying and too much chatter. This video taught me more in a few minutes than all the other videos combined regarding basic trapping. Very concise and teaching the way it should be done. Cheers mate.

[@mikeclarke4523]

brilliant video sir, well explained and demonstrated, appreciated. thanks

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Cheers Mike, thanks for watching.

[@FeathersandFishhooks]

Cool video. Very informative! In America we usually just shoot small game with shotguns.

i made the first one today before watching and it set off in my face when testing so i got a nice whooping

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

+gavin goproactionvideos Hurts doesn't it. Usually only happens the once tho mate. Cheers Andy

[@koaheart]

You're lucky, I nearly lost an ear setting one for a racoon. After trial and error it's easier to judge what not to use for the spring. Unless you're trying to catch Volkswagen it doesn't have to be that strong.

nice video, thanx brother! been wanting to learn these and your video explains them well !!!

[@stevemcdermott6199]

Great vid Buddy, I've got some rats in my composter can u use snare traps on them or are they too small?

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks Steve. Rats dont tend to fall for snare type traps. Your better off with a dead fall type trap for small rodents. I have a video on how to build a spring dead fall, but a more simpler four figure dead fall or a paiute deadfall will work jus a's good. Loads of videos on them hear on KZbin. Thanks for watching brotha

[@xeraththunorson3234]

Thanks you, sir! Was looking for a good reference for a kill trap. I currently have a past problem!

[@klounpound6945]

These are going to be some of the first traps I ever try this year. I'll update as time goes by.

[@exploreoutdoors3978]

Ryan Recollet nice I came to watch spring snare tutorial because my traditional snare wire got torn ... must have been big rabbits

[@minusone2870]

KZbin Wars, indeed. heavy well fed ones. would have been a good catch though if it didn't break. my father taught me how to do it when I was younger but in today's world of technology, I haven't done it in a long time.. I will be trying the second tactic.

[@exploreoutdoors3978]

I so am! :-) I got a busy weekend but once it's outta way I'm gonna try your traps out in the wild and see how I manage. Will let you know how it went..

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

+Mateusz "Ostry" Ostrowski Nice one. Defantly! let me know how it goes. Iv always had good results from them. The second one (roller snare) isn't too good on windy days. it's very sensitive, and tends to trigger by its safe during bad weather. I hope it goes well, and have a good weekend Bro.

hi andy excellent video would love to se the end result of your snares

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

+Addison Chandler Thanks Addison. This video was very early on with my channel, and I was a little hesitant about showing snared rabbits, but I'm over it now lol. Iv recently taken on two new pesting jobs. Planning a series of trapping videos... primitive + modern traps with a result at the end of each one. Cheers buddy Andy

[@whitneyjohnson5983]

nice

[@santobernabel4216]

really helped

[@cloroxbleach-sn8zc]

do you need bait for it to work?

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

No bait needed for a rabbit snare. There set on a rabbit run (trail) and when set correctly, they catch the rabbit around the neck as it hops into the snare. Iv recently posted a video on a baited net trap. It works in a very simular way to these spring type traps. Check it out if you get chance. Thanks for watching

[@cloroxbleach-sn8zc]

Thank you, will do.

[@jamescarmean2701]

Very nice basic snares. All you really need to get the job done. Keep your face away once the engine is set to go!

[@ericam5506]

I'm here cuz of Corona

[@Marks4real_1]

Love videos like this . Keep it up

[@KaiAdventure]

How do you spot a rabbit trail?

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Critters tend to use the same trails to and from different areas. Just like a hikers trail through the woods... Over time it creates a path way of trodden down ground and an imprint. Depending on the terrain, the surrounding foliage will be pushed down, shorter than the surrounding or gone along the trail line. Look in a field that you've seen or suspect that there's rabbits in and you will clearly see lines in the grass. These are their trails. If you look closer at the trails, you'll notice small bold patches in the grass at the same distances apart from each other. These are called beats and are the result of the Rabbit hopping and it's back feet landing in that spot. Over time it creates little bold patches. This can help selecting the correct spot to set your snare or trap. They tend to hop over high points along the trail, so they don't stop at a high point and get spotted by a predator. You want to set your snare at a point where the rabbit is hopping forward and moving through the air. Thanks for watching Kai

[@thomasbingham2797]

Great video straight to the point keep it up, gained a sub hope it helps

[@Electronicpoacher1]

good old traps them but they are for survival as a poacher with his salt would never use them,,but nice video

[@ronaldmorton5436]

[@traininggrounds9450]

It is NOT right before God to strangle ANYTHING. It is the definition of what is INHUMANE. To strangle anything is to bring a curse on the thing you strangled and if you eat what you cursed you eat the curse. This is the word of God. Do not throw your lot in with the world who have NO understanding about ANYTHING that comes from God but who only live their lives according to their own understanding and merit. God has said that anything strangled is cursed and the Apostles themselves said that the Church of God is to abstain from blood, what has been sacrificed to idols and what has been strangled. DO NOT STRANGLE ANIMALS. YOU ARE CURSING THE ANIMAL, THE LAND AND YOURSELF. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEFORE GOD BECAUSE HE HIMSELF HAS CURSED WHAT HAS BEEN STRANGLED. So SNARE the animal by capturing it in a cage or by killing it immediately through a spear snare that punctures and stabs the animal that it may BLEED its blood out to the ground and expire. Those are the only two sanctioned and humane ways to kill ANYTHING on this earth. The animal must be bled while it is alive for the meat to keep longer anyway. The blood must be shed for it to be humane and for the animal to die falling asleep rather than the animal dying while awake. his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance. ~Deuteronomy @ but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. ~Acts @ that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” ~Acts @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. ~Acts @ So even if you are a Gentile and do not follow the law you still are instructed not to practice strangling animals or to even eat animals that have been strangled. This is the word of God. I am a servant of God.

[@any1568]

This is how people in Jesus' time caught food. And God wants us to eat and here you go

[@any1568]

Animals don't have free will and why did god put these animals on earth if they don't have free will and also you can't curse animals and how could someone say that God CURSES

[@any1568]

And satan worshipers literally do sacrifices with the blood of animals

which one works best? im thinking to go on a trial for three days in the wilderness.

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

The first ones my favorite (Lock snare) and has caught me more rabbits than the others, but one of the tricks to trapping is multiple traps. Best to set 5+. That's 5 times the chance of a catch. Thanks for watching

[@indestructoZombie]

[@Galactic_JS]

No matter how many times i watch the third trap, when he sticks his hand in it i imagine the tree pulling him up off the ground

[@pigeonsniper667]

On your Roller spring snare try hooking your cross member by the ends or turning the anchor/ground pegs so that the notches for the cross member face oppose directions. this makes the trigger more sensitive and easy to trip by an animal going both ways on the trail.

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Thanks Michael, nice tip with the notchs apposed. I'll try that next time. Cheers Andy
