Native American fish trap, Wilderness Survival

Native American history how they got food for there hungry family, How the Native American made there fish trap, The funnel opening will have to be large enough for the fish or turtle to swim into, leave the opening facing into deeper water,They can't get out they do circles in the trap.for survival only. Basic Wilderness Survival bushcraft

[@ParadiseReptiles1]

its amazing how the native americans thought up of some of the most effective yet simplest ways to trap fish and other animals and not have to spend anything to do it. the native americans are a blessing to the lands if you ask me. my grandfather was native american. may his soul forever rest in peace.

[@JPseagull72]

That was cute how you patted it to keep it calm :)

[@OttavianoAugusto2011]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Perhaps, this could save someone's life one day plus it really makes me appreciate and respect even more the Natives survival skills and their symbiotic relationship with Mother Nature.

[@erik5990]

This is a awesome trap and easy to make thanks for making a video on this trap.

[@snocamo154]

Check the trap for water moccasins (for us southerners especially) before sticking your bare hand into it. These snakes are sneaky and will hide in the trap waiting for more fish to show up. I nearly learned that the hard way once when fish grabbing in a side pool of water along a creek recently flooded. This would be a great trap for turtles. They will be less stressed by remaining cool and wet till I check the trap again a few hours later after baiting it. Thank you for the video.

[@jakeyou23]

sir, are you a robot?

[@quailjailss]

Awesome vid... seriously never knew it was that easy. I've seen the tribes on National Geo. or river monsters using HUGE large complex set ups, but never simple little easy to diy ones. Thanks!

[@tim3jones]

Around 10 hour's , left it there over night.

[@thunderousfire]

Hey man I learnt something here. Thanks for making the video! Appreciate it!

[@brandonrogers8740]

No pole No problem! ... good job! Thanks for the knowledge!

[@Ikefis]

tried it Tim...got a turtle. Thanks...look forward to seeing more from you

[@kcatto21]

This is an amazing example of this trap..... We used to makes these as kids.... so we could run traps and hand lines and poles.... we eat a lot of fish...

[@eyang7]

Thanks Tim. Great video. Keep making more videos. Eng

[@aramhampson]

they cant get out because their eyes are on each side of their head, so there is a blind spot.. well thats what I always figured.. We would make these when we were kids. great video.

[@tim3jones]

Yes you can use this in Colorado, Can use rocks to make it there all have a lot of rocks there.

[@BrandNewMachine]

wow...awesome...i live in Jamaica...we need to learn more about sustainable fishing. thanks man!

[@carsontj221]

Great trap! Simple and effective. Exactly what you need for wilderness survival.

[@DropofLead]

Really good video. I saw Les Stroud use a very similar design in the Georgia swamps on his show. Very effective and simple. Good Job!

[@MrDoomperson]

Very good, I'll try it next time we go out on a survival trip then!

[@javisj2000]

wonderful, a new trap to try out. Nice one dude!

[@madmadmadmad0000004]

I was impressesd by the size of the fish and I was really glad you let the fish go because you weren't in a real survival situation.

[@quynhntruong]

That was awesome, you gotta admire the native American

[@dyffykins]

thats cool. if your in a long term survival situation you could build a pen the same style to keep fresh fish!

[@tim3jones]

@mark01318 Its like a minnow trap that you can get at the bait shop store, There 's a opening in it they swim around the edge of the trap.

[@SolemAris]

Very easy...super useful...lesson learned...thank you ...great video.

[@wolfmaan]

That's cool man! Cheers for posting this video!

[@IBMikmaq]

That catfish is good eating, slice under the gillis till you break thru the back bone then take a fork jab in back of head and pull back and peel all the skin off in one piece!

[@bearhauptmanful]

Very cool! Nice to see someone showing results. Nice trap and thanks.

[@PBTvids]

alrite thanks man im goingon a camp trip deep in the mountains so this will be usefull. ill have to try one of those flat heads one day

[@tim3jones]

Thank you, I love flathead catfish.

[@jsmythib]

hooks, poles, line....All you need are sticks and a chunk of meat?!! A fish trap frees up your time! lol..thanks for sharing that -very nice.

[@Eric-ky3fo]

Wow that's awesome! Fish traps are the coolest!

[@VipersRealTV]

Wow, great stuff.

[@deathofkindness]

Thanks Tim...I will be giving this a try

[@deathofkindness]

Great video bro I have a rather stupid question how do you think this would work for ponds?? I have several ponds around where i live filled with crappie and bass and turtle and I wonder if this would work for them in a survival situation Thanks

[@tim3jones]

@O7ROADKING You welcome glad you like it.

[@tedddy666]

this is so cool. im going to try this tomorow when i go fishing and ill come back the next day. Thanks man!! I liked this

[@Yahsbsuq]

Thank you :) nice fish too ! Impressive !

[@O7ROADKING]

Great video thanks for posting

[@tim3jones]

@davesajerk This was in a creek.

[@DancingSpiderman]

1:24 - 1:57 should be entitled "Dumb Enuf To Be Et". That trap reminds me of those damn metal ring finger puzzles the boss has laying on his humongous desk. Me, playing with the bosses metal ring finger puzzles could be entitled "Dumb Enuf To Be Fired" or "Jury Duty Pool" I did not know catfish were attracted to Spam On A Toothpick. Hmmmm... Awesome vid. Kudos.

[@tim3jones]

Your Welcome.

[@picka21chu]

Amazing Video, thanks man. I am gonna try it just for fun!

[@MrDarkTides]

Excellent demonstration

[@nimi118]

the best vidio ever i have seen on wilderness survivl and could you tell me which type of bait i could lure fish in and can i use worms and thanks for the vidio

[@LabRat6619]

Thats an interesting trap, never seen that done before.

[@PBTvids]

its a simple yet great design nice im surprised it could fit through there

[@tim3jones]

Yes fishes really go to shore for food.

[@Pawliee888]

man, you probably just saved someones life with this video

[@newschoololdschool]

Nice. Bigger fish than I normally catch with a pole.lol

[@NSXFiles]

Pretty cool man. Thx for the video post.

[@purmolshark]

nice iv'e been dying to find out how to make that trap. i seen les stroud make that on survivorman. good catch.

[@angelstgeorge]

Beautiful that you let it go. That's a true native spirit.

[@CheckLike]

Cool vid! Not only can this trap fish but frogs and turtles have turned up in my taps.. I didnt eat 'em but they made their way in there if it was a survival situation and your starving they'd go down good as any fish. My grampa taught me this were at Six Nations Indian reservation.

[@bugburn]

that's a big catch. nice video.

[@matthewmacdonald9498]

I am going to a lake this summer. Do you think it will work. Will I be able to get bass in it

[@tim3jones]

Thanks for the tip.

[@BullRonin]

pretty amazing. What kind of bait was used?

[@larrylynn123]

I'm impressed....that was cool!!!

[@modyboytoy]

great video mate, keep the good work.

[@Dasjabal]

thats pretty freaking slick. thanks for sharing

[@tim3jones]

@devonman90 The V needs to be around 5'' in side of the trap, The fish can not fined the opening they go a long the edge of the trap.

[@Jason_Maier]

Nice work . . and that is one big catfish (do you cook it whole or gut/filet it first?) And could you also build a fish trap with rocks?

[@PAFloridian]

thanks for posting

[@devrobbiz]

Interesting, cool vid!

[@Harbinification]

Useful ! Thank you !

[@mikester105]

dude this workout perfect thank you so much

[@tim3jones]

@armyfreak95 Yes it will work for bass and trout, Thank you, That's cool...

[@xtrememetalfan]

that is so neat,im gonna try that when i go fishing at the river sometime

[@tim3jones]

@Takiado Thank you.

[@Checkthisup]

I'm definitely trying this. Looks easy. Thank you for sharing :)

[@jasongiddensviper478]

Geat video keep em coming!

[@tim3jones]

@Bushcraftpeople Yes i still read them, Good luck on the fish trap in Sweden.

[@TheEmptyTurtle]

I'm going to try this, thanks!

[@tim3jones]

@TwoFive0ne For bait earth warms, The wood was willow,The opening was 4'' wide, Good luck!!!

[@rollofnickles]

I gave your video a thumbs up but can you explain how a fish that only eats live pray and is bigger than the opening got in your trap?

[@tim3jones]

Yes i like going for noodling catfish.

[@tim3jones]

@nimi118 Thank you, Yes you can use worms use a small stick like on my bird trap video.

[@althea_starr9861]

Amazing!

[@canuckcamper]

Very cool video

[@MrDoomperson]

Are all fish equally "stupid"? I live in Denmark and we don't have catfish as far as I know, we would have trout, "perch" and "pike" if google translate havn't failed me. Pike is a crazy fish that eats everything, razer sharp teeth and perch is a smaller fat one. We also got a silvery one with red finns! Best explanations ever!

[@tim3jones]

@MrDadadou Thank you.

[@cerealcow]

I know you posted this about 8 months ago but I'll try and respond a bit more detailed. See the fish cant turn that tightly, once it enters the little slots on the left or right, it can't turn to leave easily. 1 or two really smart or agile fish may escape, but you'll always have something to eat.

[@YoungAmericanOutback]

That was awesome!! I am going to have to give that a try. Do you need anything more than a fishing license to fish like this?

[@tim3jones]

@PBTvids I think it would work put the bait that the bass 0r trout would like.

[@MrOceanfisher]

awesome video!! im gonna try this

[@FraterSolzai]

Hey that's cool I think I'm trying that soon.

[@radonease8729]

We've taught the Cub Scouts in pack 1832 how to make a 1 minute emergency shelter, start a fire with flint and steel and now we're going to teach them this simple food (Fish) trap

[@InfernoRed54]

wow wasnt expecting you to catch a catfish that size. the trap is so small

[@flamedrag18]

you can also make these out of rocks and way bigger without much more effort, just find a shallow area in a river or lake shoreline that curves it, now make a open bottom V towards the inside of the depression in the bank high enough so fish can't swim over it.
