[@vwrFEW]

I hope he takes your advice about responding to comments, this channel is already excellent and would only get better.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Well done mate,your really are nothing short of brilliant! I just wouldn't have the patience to invent it never loan the patience to make it work. Really impressive.

[@NotSoDumb]

That is by far the best trap system I've seen. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks.

[@riverbankfisher]

I've got a story about this method of trapping to share here, from my travels in Africa. This technique has been used for generations by wandering trappers who arrived in a farming community where they weren't previously known and then proceeded to harvest antelope at such an alarming rate that local hunters lodged a complaint with the village chief, urging him to evict the visiting trappers. The chief summoned the nomadic trappers' representative for questioning, and the man showed up with a massive antelope that was still alive, and ready for butchering to feed the chief and his numerous wives. Some days later, the hunters who had lodged the protest about the visiting trappers returned to the chief's hut to find out how soon the invaders would be booted out of the area. The chief welcomed the protesters but then solemnly informed them that since it is God that allocates trapping ingenuity, it would be sacrilegious to evict those upon whom such divine wisdom had been bestowed. Thus ended the matter once and for all.

Would this work for a cat? I cant catch the fucker i need to try something new

[@juanaguilar4501]

Hahah lol

[@feralwoodcraft]

Wow, that is ingenuity at it's finest! Very very cool! I look forward to more Sir!

[@bpetnoi1472]

Now here a man who spends most of his time thinking outside of the box. I especially appreciate you showing how your traps work by catching animals. So many people show what they built and sometimes I wonder if that would even work, but you prove it.

[@asystoleD]

So freakin cool! i love how you actually show it in action unlike everybody else on youtube.

[@x1337H4X0Rx]

Glad to see another video, this trapping series is my favorite series on KZbin :)

[@kennedy67951]

Now that's a nice trap mate. Non kill so you could raze the birds you catch. Thanks for the upload.

[@hbarrett1045]

Made my first one in under 30 minutes, and literally had a dove trapped in less than an hour from cutting the tree down for the materials. GREAT VIDEO... most effective bird snare I have seen.

[@mata9290]

My hats off to you sir , from across the pound. when off work today ,I shall be teaching my 2 boys this. Personal never ,ever seen this one.. THank You

[@regsparkes6507]

You're right d.o., this would be a great trap for snowy area's. This was invented with smart thinking for sure,....Thanks for this FPSoutback. By the way,..welcome back, I was wondering where you were.

[@TheCowboyfromhell87]

Great to see you back making videos!

[@Hogwylderr]

That was some great ingenuity! This reminds me of a snare thrower I use on hogs. The fremont snare thrower...

[@HansMcMurdy]

I love how you trap things in real life and in ARK lol

[@StephenCooteNZ]

You have some great ideas, and your videos are top quality. Much appreciated. I do a lot of trapping using primitive principles. Best wishes from New Zealand.

[@bpetnoi1472]

Yet another great video and as the man in the comment below mine stated "an outside of the box thinker" thanks.

[@MrDeathd]

I seen this video yesterday and thought what the heck made one it works pretty good my son thinks it a toy ,great video thanks for posting.

[@Justins1877]

Another awesome vid, FPSoutback! I'm fairly certain I've seen all your video's, but I don't remember if you've ever mentioned if you've had traditional trapping experience, or just years of tinkering? Glad to see a new video.

[@legojelly]

[@fastmover45]

[@wzukr]

[@aspx12944]

FPSOutback is that type of a guy that can use a hand without fingers, nohate thats just cool that u can still use ur hand :)

[@littleike2228]

If you don't mind may I ask what happened to your hand?

[@enatskie1215]

what bait did he use to trap dove?

[@s.h.v.c2865]

Really great design, now I want to make one

[@oregonmodding]

Just had a friend share your video on Facebook. I am now a subscriber. Keep them coming I love this idea

[@RyeOnHam]

Brilliant! I'm off to try it out.

[@FPSoutback]

Be sure to film it!

[@Theguitarfreakguy101]

how do you tie the sticks together?

[@callummartin165]

I'm new to your vid and what happened to your hand.

[@thornwarbler]

Clever design ......thanks

[@hemansteve]

Great content and well edited. Really love your vids. So glad you are making more.

[@mohammedezziymy7949]

That's amazing! ; you are the king of the traps

[@travistreloar4103]

[@mikewilkinson5942]

[@Nitrisbot]

My hat goes off to you again fine sir. Great idea

[@pg396]

Very interesting survival Trap. Thank you!

[@jarrodd9392]

Hey man sorry about your hand if you don't mind me asking what happened??

[@GlassJR]

So great to see another 1 of your videos! Really like this 1

[@RJTrezise1983]

Been a while mate, good stuff.

[@sethfishing1]

That's amazing, did you come up with the design yourself?

[@FPSoutback]

Yeh in that I hadn't seen it anywhere else. But it is so simple I have a hard time believing that in all of human history I was first to come up with it!

[@TexugoFTW]

what happened to your hand?

[@vladbadu3076]

good job men!!! I will try do the trap

[@magicjones9465]

i like it very much good job

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Hello mate , that is an awesome trap ,subbed atb Martin

[@zxxz0000]

Help! I've made this trap and it works. But almost every time i test fire it, the snare doesn't lift up but instead get's pulled to the side and so doesn't catch the stick I used to test it on. In your video it seems to work every time. What am I doing wrong?

[@FPSoutback]

+Caleb English I'm not sure how you can make it get pulled to the side but if you have trouble with the snare closing too quick or too low, push a piece of stiff grass into the 4 corners of the snare so it rides up then when triggered.

[@zxxz0000]

+FPSOutback I think you nailed my problem. Thanks for your help and for this video!

[@meyo4158]

FPSOutback did you come up with this design or see it somewhere it's bada**

[@garrettjohnston5153]

Good trap , thankyou sir very good .

[@koomsoup1219]

[@connormcmaster3843]

[@jaredrussell3775]

[@garrettjohnston5153]

Good video thanks

[@d0nator]

Awesome video but can u please video on how to tie it like that please

[@FPSoutback]

There is nothing special about the knots that were tied, is the question to a specific one that I can describe?

[@abrb1223]

FPSOutback a more detailed how to video would be awesome, im a novice trapper and would love to learn more, but I'm not quite understanding the knot structure either

[@theGamingtrees]

This guy is a f^cking genius, seriously like wow.

[@ti902]

ชอบกับดักนี้มากๆครับ

[@granthill7931]

Will yarn work👵

[@antiqAtqueIterum]

masterclass trapping

[@suthrnhustler]

if you ever was to do a faq video I have a sneaking suspicion what the most common question you get will be

[@davealthoff1712]

That is sweet!!!

[@Nugrat1]

Awesome

[@1389kim]

Bravo

[@The2FRANKGRIMES]

Looks like you've been going fishing; fishing for birds

[@MegaBait1616]

very cleaver. mate

[@AK47Prodigy]

Cool I want to make this

[@ryyo2670]

simple bird traps please sir :( .

[@flamedrag18]

you're allowed to trap invasive species in australia?

[@FPSoutback]

Yes, in a lot of places it's even promoted by the local council.

[@paulsoldo3059]

i set it and i caught a rabbit

[@KowboyUSA]

Do you know if the tension produced by the torsion spring lessen the longer the trap is left set?

[@FPSoutback]

Yes good question, I hadn't used the best materials (its hard to find straight sticks here!) so the poplar sticks being a soft wood compressed around the lashings and the cord is polyester which doesn't have the best elastic properties. So after it was made it had to be re-tensioned as everything stretched and settled. Using nylon cord (paracord etc.) should provide a better torsion spring due to its inherently better elasticity. You could of course use rubber like strips of inner tube as well. The last design using the fork to create the spring tension had no problems, but that really depends on what tree you choose to use, the eucalypt I used has pretty good tensile properties.

[@gabrieleciciriello6447]

+FPSOutback i don't mean to be rude,but i just stumbled across your video and i have a question. what happened to your hand?

[@topiastimperi3986]

i just thinking the same thing

[@upenupen4541]

+Topias Timperi me too

[@gabrieleciciriello6447]

***** hahahaha

[@powerhail291]

With his video content most likely a bear trap.

[@UpcomingJedi]

That's what happens when you chew on your fingernails.

[@viber6268]

Great video mate!

[@lancedean9973]

2:46 the bird looking at him like "Dude, seriously?" :) hahaha

[@44putubillywidiantara34]

LMAO

[@Romulo_Oliveira037]

*Vim pelo sobrevivencialismo*

[@_corby_703_7]

Not to be rude... but indeed curious? What hapened to your hand it's a lot worse then mine. As I'm missing 1 finger

[@luismaciel3491]

Y de pronto, un comentario en español!😁

[@gabrielperez9615]

Luis Maciel jajajajaja

[@willd2156]

Seriously good video once again. hope to find some hares would make a very interesting watch

[@shamos999]

I was going to ask about what happened to your hand, but I remember this was a trap video =(

[@daniellopez483]

What happened to ur left hand if can I ask is nothing wrong

[@lionschannel.3822]

Budy this is a great and civilised trap not primitive at all.

[@mountainmel1]

OOPS, "Mtn Mel " here - hoping my letter went through ? Not sure how my friend's name Jackie Thomas got on the title, --- ? I'm a bit primitive on here. Oh well. Stay in touch !

[@17hmr243]

nice one. add your sms alert and your set

[@bushlifeaholick790]

Very awesome&easy putting this in my toolbox for Shur thanx mate CHEERS

[@christophersnedeker]

This is a great survival foot trap, should work for raccoons, opossums and foxes in North America.

[@Spottedleaf-yf4lk]

What happened to ur fingers

[@frasertive2726]

cool looking birds

[@nickbowerman]

i wonder if an ultimate trap can be mass produced at an affordable price.. you see so many of these co2 capsules for air rifles for example, perhaps a movement or pressure sensor..very interesting

[@bgdwiepp]

looks great, we've got a bit of a rabbit problem around here because of the sand hills, i might give this a bit of a go.

[@libalj]

I like you. Invasive species also get the death penalty where I live.
