I think you're one of the best Bushcraft teachers on KZbin. I really love the way you explain things in detail and up close with the camera. Please keep the great videos coming!!!!!!!!!!

[@leoseven9343]

Yeah. I agree with you. And This video calls always as my Chanel '' L7''. But yeah. He is really good at bushcraft teaching.

[@cautious1343]

I agree! fery well done.

[@wookiejesusofnazarethkashy1940]

He's more informative than My Daily Life, but not nearly as hot.

[@EverydayReady]

I agree with this.

[@lawrenguldemond1092]

This is great!

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

The L7 trigger is one of the most useful and versatility trap triggers available. Honestly, it's probably the trigger that I use the most.

[@Tier1GearEDCReviews]

Agreed! I'll never forget my grandpa teaching it to me as a kid. It works lol🍻

[@Tier1GearEDCReviews]

Trade you subs btw?

[@leoseven9343]

L7 trigger... My Chanel is L7. Leo Seven. Nice.

[@flash_flood_area]

L7 can trigger the best of us... in a good way.

[@yourbarista4154]

Dude I just saw one of your comments on Ben Shapiro haha

[@dalesuggs3658]

Great tutorial will teach my Royal Ranger kids I teach Wednesday night. Royal Rangers is a church base class teach & reach young men from 6yrs old up to 18 yrs old. I'm sure they will enjoy this L7 method as they enjoy all aspects of hunting. Thanks for explaining & keeping it simple

[@MZ-mu6om]

I agree with all those comments on how well you communicate all of the instructions of the said project. Great teacher, thanks for all that you do !!!

[@poppypopper1646]

Great totorial, caught about 4 preschoolers already.

[@ltcoltealeaf]

Wow, you are so fucking hilarious. Cringe.

[@poppypopper1646]

@@ltcoltealeaf Ik, right. If you try really hard, you may be able to pop jokes like these one day too.

[@Bennacho]

@@ltcoltealeaf I thought it was hilarious

[@gingersherrod11]

Creepy fukin response

[@AmyS3uk]

nice one XD Dismiss those nasty nitpickers. Jokes have to be polarizing, otherwise they aint funny ;-)

[@timteller1400]

What a good video. And I almost forgot that you're the hand-in-my-face guy until the end, when your hand came flying and one of your fingers disappeared in my nose, the other one poked my eye. Now I'm half blind, half non-smelling. But still... it was totally worth it. What a good video. Thank you

[@robertpaulis439]

Little bell on spring pole great tell tale!!! Like fishing.

[@donnienewman9141]

Thank you!!! I've never had someone teach that to me and have me understand it. I'll have to practice this Saturday. How awesome!!!

[@rogerturner6737]

I use a trigger that is fulcrum similar to your L7 I can see that your system is a working model thanks for sharing 👍

[@FlippyHambone]

This is exactly what I needed. Grazie!

[@The_Channel_Of_Chad]

Great video. I'd add a couple of nuggets from experience to make this better though: 1) In the event your stake doesn't gain enough purchase to stay driven in the ground, you can carve some feathers down the shaft for increased bite. Just drive it in and pack the soil down around it. Works like a charm. 2) Consider chamfering the top of your stake prior to driving it into the ground; this will reduce splitting, particularly if you're using the pol of an axe/hatchet over a wooden club.

[@warlock.420]

Didn't get 3 minutes in before I had to like this video, great stuff! Your a natural teacher!

[@gregcrowe8885]

You good teacher. I made figure 4 when child it works. 2 7s works better. Lots of good soldiers around good fighters still need someone to help us think and organize Thank You for helping

[@jxk7712]

This guy is the bed. His capacities should be part of some form of educational curriculum. Remove the trapping and you’ve got a brilliant guy that can teach our public school children hands on experiences. Go Emerson, Whitman, go Teddy26, let’s appreciate our skill sets sans public teachers unions

[@tumbleweed6658]

Best video and teaching on the L7 you make it easy to use and understand. Keep the videos coming.

Wow, thank you Sir. For CARING.

You're a natural teacher. I actually understand now. And I'm stupid up on it so it's like a🥴

[@willybee3056]

You really rigger my thought process. . Thanks.

Awesome video, brother. Thanks. Actually learnt something

[@robertmyers6859]

GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU

[@ivymike2691]

Did something similar set up with a Mojave scissor trap to get some squirrels that were going after my dad's garden and it worked super well.

[@vsnature7146]

Awesome video buddy. very informative, and well explained. I appreciate you

[@JasonVladimir]

Great training! Thanks for sharing!

[@darrellblair5818]

This was great. So simple.

[@meldeweese6875]

Great ! Good for fish trap also ----- Mtn Mel , Ret USN SERE .

[@samuelblades1865]

This would be good to set up for fishing but that’s about it ,

[@renelaurs]

Great informative video, I´m surely gonna play with the L7 Trigger. :-). You are a great teacher. Thanks. :-)

[@allanvarner8137]

I'm new to your channel as of today I really like this and it's a great idea.. thanks

[@artthrower7773]

Thanks

[@islagames]

Good info. I will surround my house with this. I call it "unrestricted anti pest warfare". Thnx.

[@outdoorzone]

Super easy! Thx! All traps kill by: mangle, dangle, strangle or tangle!

[@jerrodlopes186]

Awesome. Simple.

[@jackieeastom8758]

One very important thing to remember is that you don’t encroach on somebody’s hunting grounds! With the current situation and threats to the national food chain,every animal & fish is going to be critical to a families survival. When I first moved to the area I live in now,my first scouting trip into the hunting area I wanted to hunt was to find out where the local people were setting up.

[@angryshrub1]

Nice. The Gas Meter Reader won't know what hit him.

[@woodswalker7579]

Awesome video. Thanks

[@country4lyfe365]

Awsome video . very useful..I think this would be a great snare for rabbits and squirrel

[@randomchanell8033]

I myself have been in the hobby of camping and surviving solo

[@dzrtgoat]

It is effective back in the day when I was homeless this is one way I trapped for my food

[@marcvallois8984]

Yessss good job 👏 merci 🙏🙏

[@lavonprince3530]

Thanks for the information..

[@David-wg7bj]

I love the simplicity and once you know it and played around you can make dozens of them all around your camp if you want! Question: what kind of rope do you use? Something I should look for when I buy it?

[@WhiteWolfeHU]

Beaver chew this around 😂 love it man.

[@Anthony-wb6ih]

Could you go over how to tie the knots please. Snare knots!?

[@hansfranson6570]

Thank's❗ Very useful👍

[@kayakncamping]

Great video & great concept. Easy enough to remember by the time I get out into the field. It would be good to see a few more traps, if you're so inclined...

[@24323151]

Greetings from Bonny Scotland. (Gods occasional holiday destination) Just came upon your channel, I must say I'm rather impressed. Not bad for a Yank at all. The only problem is in the real world, ie. now. The lairds goffer's (Landowners servants) will easily spot the rabbit or whatever, and in consequence will be on the look out for you. By the way I wouldn't classify myself as a survivalist, just some body who thinks its god's given right, to take food from the wild, in a sustainable way of course. I mean when you think about it, like the original Americans, how on earth can you own the land, stuff an nonsense, I say. Now here in Scotland there is no trespass law, you can't get done for trespass, one of the few countries in the world to have such a law. But you certainly can and do get done for poaching, in fact the fines and sometimes jail can be quite intimidating. But I don't worry about such things, because game meat an fish are the only type I eat. Love an Light Chris.

Well explained. I subscribed.

[@AllinAllisAllweAllare]

The L7 Trap is Fast and Frightening

[@charlesmurray1220]

You didn't show us the snare. How you attach it to the line, if it is made from - wire, cable, cordage, ect. How and where you place it...

[@DevinAkin]

Greatness.

[@dennispowers3798]

For the amount of time it takes to set the trap I could have set 6 simple but effective snares that are just as effective.

[@billyandrew]

Better to use more than one trap, increasing your chance of success.

[@robmarshallofficial]

This is the best explanation of this technique and I never thought of fishing like this. What line have you used? If you have an Amazon link, that would be great. Thanks again for this

[@UncleBud83]

Noice. Thanks again

[@t.curran8243]

Great explanation. Hate to catch a skunk in that! FYI, you had Valentine no perfume ad after your vid-totally not related to your channel.

[@jmbs9833]

This reminds me of the simpsons, where the rabbit flys into the sky... Man i need to get out more...

[@fightingducks2669]

I did this with toenail clippers lol great trick

[@meklin1285]

same one from Predator but they pulled down a tree with 10 people, i would hate to get caught by that

[@OtisAvalon]

Has this guy been on "Alone" yet?

[@wilsonlayne1522]

I have a rat trap in my bug out bag if it fails me I will remember this

[@shaunhall6834]

Cool!

[@hm_nn_5633]

You didn't show how the loop of the snare is made.

Everyone in the comments: Wow this is such a great video about trapping! Me: Is this a Project zomboid vid?

[@robertgonzalez8419]

Sweet

[@aaroncamren691]

This is all fine and good. I'm skilled with wood working but I cannot tie a knot to save my life. I can tie a basic not but I have no idea what you used there or how to replicate it. I would probably just end up making a bow or fishing spear lol.

[@chrisbrady3462]

Was that a big foot???

[@lorenville]

Why is it not called a 7 7?

[@ЮраПанас]

Nah thanx man. I better shoplift

[@RoebenVZyl]

Man i love youre vids, you have any books or so?

[@MegaChevy65]

I'm gonna set something like this up in the house, but sideways and try to get it to smack my wife in the butt off a trip wire when she walks by😂

[@radionqnewchanceokcspencer6116]

Will this trap a crazy baby mamma?

[@jeffersonluizbento20]

Perfeito!

[@MrBottlecapBill]

When I was a kid I had a little fort I build in the forest. I used this trigger method attached to a sheet of hidden plywood that dropped down into a hole when stepped on. The other end of the trigger went way up into a pine tree where I had a bucket of swamp water hidden to tip nasty swamp water on whoever stepped on the plywood trigger near the entrance to my fort. I covered the plywood with a thin layer of dirt and leaves to hide it. My little sister came home pretty angry one day hahaha. You've never seen a young boy so pleased with himself in your life. Until dad got home. :D

[@maxpower2631]

Boys will be boys 😂

[@ChosMan16]

That’s awesome, I was doing things like that too. My wife and I worked very hard to move out of the city and get a place in the country, woods in the backyard. It saddens me - I have to kick the kid out of the house. Rather be inside with an electronic. Even before covid 🤷‍♂️

I’ve probably seen a hundred pictures of this in survival books but never really understood how to do until now, you’re a great teacher. Subscribed

[@djomegaminus]

I posted the same above. Don't know exactly why but I feel as though after seeing a bunch of videos on how to do this it finally stuck.

[@johnboyd7158]

This video just got you a new subscriber! Brought back memories! Over 60 years ago, I read Jack London and other wilderness books. I learned to make snares and traps. I even ran a "trap line " in brush near a RR track. Since then I survived Vietnam, raising a teenager and a narcissistic ex. These videos brought me to happy memories. Great skills and a talented teaching manner. Thank you

[@corablue5569]

Yes- thank you, and thank goodness you survived it all 🤗

[@awatchman4347]

I finally figured out how I found your channel, it was through Townsend.

[@danielww9022]

Hands down THE best presentation on this trigger. The swingin' bank line was a nice touch, too.

[@johnryan1292]

im still waiting for like an april fools video where it starts off like a legitimate trap design but the trap engine when activated just clicks on a smart phone and orders uber eats

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

@ John Ryan I think you'd REALLY have to finess that "7" part so it gets Uber eats on your speed dial & nothing else, like accidentally call 911 or something.

[@imying72]

Great to know theres other wilderness survival instructors in Pa. Keep up the great work.

[@fermingarcia9816]

Love his, no non-sense approach, gets right to the point.

[@jasongarling20]

Well explained my friend! I know it's a simple concept, but some visual learners need to see it! Again, well done, and keep crushing the day every day!

[@262Fishing]

I know this video has been around a little bit, but hopefully you see this... Could you expand on the snare? Specifically where to lay it in relation to the trigger, that knot to use, etc. I'm brand new to this stuff and loving every second of your videos

[@miketully9592]

You try to find game trails where animals have walked so it's real close to your sapling it's just a slip knot that they get caught in and it's best if you use brush shrubs dead trees to funnel them into your snare

[@rd0054]

Never really thought about traps in a fishing scenario. Thanks

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

@ Roger Douglass If you want a few MAJORLY involved fishing traps, find Greg Ovens on KZbin. He made one out of a mousetrap & then one that somehow had the fish get pulled up into this thing that also chopped off it's head too after catching it. Both were ice fishing ideas.

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

PS For some reason Greg Ovens looks like he could be in a metal band too! He's great to watch & funny too @ times

[@WaitWhat99]

I LOVE watching your videos. They’re so concise and easy to follow. Thankyou from Australia 🤙🇦🇺

[@coydog669]

Learned this trigger system over 40 years ago. Love the simplicity of it and use while I'm fishing

[@JamilaJibril-e8h]

Trigger system noted.,..

[@914southside]

I’ve seen so many videos on this and this is without a doubt the best description I’ve seen it’s so easy but no one stressed the trigger is really the most important part

[@zerojee1]

So simple, yet essential. I learn so much from this channel. Thanks Dan!
