Primitive Stone Fish Trap -Survival Trapping- Waterfall Trap

[@sharonluther8500]

Thank you for bringing my childhood in TX to me. A life well loved.🌿

[@o0julek0o]

Your dog always seems to be looking into the distance, reflecting on his life of chasing sticks and outdoors adventures.

[@acoreighterryproject]

o0julek0o Lmaoo facts!!!

[@Jaden48108]

I learned a lot. Pretty easy fish trap requiring only tools provided by nature. Nice. I always thought of you as the second coming of Les Stroud and was extremely disappointed when your medical condition prevented you from participating in a Discovery show. Maybe it's still possible. I certainly hope so. You've got the chops.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I really like your show, thank you for keeping it family friendly and no swearing..

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Wow man, that's crazy. Never would think those minnows would try to escape like that. Cool man.

[@yuhboris304]

The Wooded Beardsman hey I'm subbed to you

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

skittlebeape Love Bob!!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I leave shake and bake for the other experts!

[@rajuvinesproduction6344]

[@spyderhyatt]

The Wooded Beardsman hey I'm subbed to your channel, awesome to know you watch other channels I do, love both you guys videos, learn a lot, keep up the good work hopefully many more videos to come

[@clarkeugene5727]

Thanks for this confidence builder. Pointing out the possible overnight changes confirms your instruction not to limit your traps to a certain type.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Man I can't believe how effective that little trick is. A smorgasbord. Thanks for you hard work.

[@ManLand]

Again another powerful video...I learned something here ...

[@just82much72]

All I can say is WOW! That trap worked great. My favorite part is you sitting there talking about the pleco in the trap and flop! There he is for all to see! Good stuff. Thanks for sharing your skills

[@hockeynutt9434]

Your Dog has such an amazing life. Full of adventure all the time

[@vice6996]

insane how much things can change. from a trickling stream to a full blown river in a day. great vid. learned a lot.

[@wolfinthewildssurvival2765]

Awesome video. It's crazy how quickly and completely that small stream turned in to a large river like that.

[@BobHansler]

Check the video 'Flood Monsters'. It rises 40+ ft over that.

[@danthompson1m]

Really enjoying all your fish trapping videos! We're thinking about you! Hang in there.

[@redhaegar]

Love the laid back attitude and organic approach

[@left4halo4]

If Steve Irwin and Les Stroud were put together into one single American it would be this guy

[@babe101103]

It went from a small creek to a full blown river, where you had to use a canoe to get around. It certainly was a chance of scenery.

[@-Infernex]

you never dissapoint, but it was humorous watching that pool overfill as you try to cap it off

[@richardkaber27]

me and my friends used to get fish bait in the creeks near my home like that when I was a kid cool stuff

[@jsaenzMusic]

Man.....WEALTH of knowledge. Thank you!

[@billcarlsen3153]

thanks for your hard work its really cool seeing your creek change drastically bringing gar and gators to little honey holes

[@ozarkadventures121]

Very cool. Never fail to learn something watching your channel. Thanks. That's a lot of rain!

[@Jeff-rc7ph]

Just want to thank you. I have learned a lot from you and your videos. Keep'em coming.

[@Bunnironi]

all that hard work. you and your dog looked so sad at the end. lol. You guys are awesome. thank you !

[@danofiremano]

Wow you've been getting some rain this year! Great video and information, thanks.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hi ya Bob! It amazing and fascinating how quickly a creek can turn n to a river, a calm river n to a raging/dangerous river. I’ve not seen anyone show this way of trapping bait, would not have known it if not for u, this way is easy and effective, very handy to know if I haven’t any nets/traps. Ur much appreciated for the knowledge u have and share with us. Thank u

[@heathschwab]

wow that's amazing how a mud hole a few days later a river and 30 ft deep. crazy. but good video I did learn something from this thank you. you still in my prayers daily. hope your doing ok. god bless you and you family.

[@johnniecarter318]

Thanks man. Hope y'all are doing ok down there. Hope the eyes are healing well. God bless Texas

[@RaeSyngKane]

My goodness your dog looks so relaxed

[@arachnid83]

Cool. Someday this might save me from starving.

[@thomasgross8289]

That creek would be a great place to RC!😀

[@the.magnus]

Your dog is awesome chilling in shade while u work your butt off hehe

[@MrSharkStudios]

Your videos are so awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Caintuckee64]

Man... brings back memories. I did this as a kid...found a lot of "water dogs", while moving rocks, which I then caught many Bass with! The bass were spawning and would not hit anything else, they were very aggressive towards the waterdogs though.

[@jamesdevinaspre3182]

This was a great video, I learned a great deal here, thank you, Bob, for the video. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@patrickbryanoutside7416]

enjoyed your video, learn something every time

[@jesser007]

Your dog is awesome!

[@cliffordkelly5327]

Hay Bob, always a great video to watch & learn from !

[@brotherbreeze8351]

At the end, your dog appears to be sleeping while sitting next to you. :-P

[@BobHansler]

He has a rather laz work ethic at times.

[@muthaz1952]

Bob Hansler that's one cute and cool dog though bud

[@joemedeiros46]

I did this many times as a kid. Wasn’t thinking of a food source back then lol 👍

[@ilikethemapples5430]

I know this video is about fish and trapping and what have you but I was watching the dog and now I want one.

[@luckyturttle5962]

Very nice primitive cloths,sun glasses and primitive knife :)

[@BobHansler]

Indeed.

[@luckyturttle5962]

Ps. This is just a joke I love the vid and am not trying to hate :) subbed

[@BobHansler]

It's all good. There are a few folks out there that expect me to demonstrate these skills bare naked save for some mud scrawl and a loincloth made of porcupine... Their reasons are varied though the message comes across as pretty similar.

[@Peter421]

great video and i must say the most entertaining part was during at 16:00 portion just watching your dog squink his/her eyes too cute lol

[@exvapid4667]

this was an awesome video, i have learnt more in a couple minute, than in hours

[@ArchSpawn]

invasive species cant let it go... pushes back into water lol

[@Aleph-Noll]

maybe he killed it off camera

[@precariousjoe856]

I can't knock this guy that much. I like his videos, but he had it in his hands. Let it go so it can do more damage.

[@arcticshuskyadventures1788]

You are definitely knowledgeable!!!

[@wayneandrews1933]

Hey my friend I love doing that when I was a kid that so cool keep it up

[@rayhutchings7]

fantastic vid. enjoyed the twist ending. thanks for your channel

[@Robert-xn3dc]

Every Minow Gangsta till the bushman with a stick followed by his dog comes sweeping down the creek.

[@Moronicsmurf]

Chillest dog ever.. =)

[@neddmoulton1]

You make the best videos. You know all kinds of cool tricks and you live in what seems to be a very outdoors friendly area. Keep up the good work.

[@y__h]

Hey Bob, would you sometime make a video on how much nutrition someone need in survival situation, while trying to minimize iur negative impact on the environment. Thanks.

[@BobHansler]

Souds like a good idea ben tinkering with something similar but I can definitely look into this angle. Thanks.

[@craigmooring2091]

That is clearly very effective. Could you lay a net at the beginning and harvest once right after the drive?

[@davidbloch5370]

Bob you must have had a lot of fun as a kid. Ah the good old days. Where you at Texas

[@kulvadeewhite6987]

Wow, you build a small trap wall about a foot high and the next day or 2 the water level rises 30 feet! You should be a dam engineer..enjoyed the video and learnt a lot.

[@domonotell9290]

Damn i would just get in the swamp with my shoes and a net I'll use my shirt ... I wish I lived there so badly

[@i_like_to_move_it_move_it]

I just bought a lot of new fishing tackle and youre telling me i could have just done this, ohh man!

[@BobHansler]

Truly, for legal reasons this trap would have to be considered a crawfish trap in my state. I am not legally allowed to harvest fish from sucha trap, excepting crawfish and the occasional invasive. Tese traps should only be used in survival situations or to demonstrate historic trapping methods for educational purposes. Too ecologically distributive for most waterways. Fish on my friend, but make sure you do it responsibly and legally.

[@jonathanjennings3308]

Im from south Texas too. love your vids man

[@johnowens1032]

im from West Texas

[@tonynapoli5549]

Great vid Bob You must be riddled with minnows 👍🇬🇧

[@pascalmarti4403]

you sir know your business. i wish i could go on some wilderness tours with you. you are so down to earth and calm. really really like your stile

[@americanrebel413]

Awesome video Thank you for sharing this!

[@Big_Gourdo]

That creek is very interesting. one day its a trickling stream then the next its 30+ feet deep. That's very cool.

[@BobHansler]

IT is full of change... but imagine just how much gear I have to get to high ground every time it throws something like this at us. Stressful at times, but undeniably beautiful.

[@Big_Gourdo]

+Bob Hansler The work you put into these videos is appreciated.

[@Adam-xd9ws]

That was pretty awesome!

[@phillipkarnehm7712]

thank you for another great piece of knowledge

[@PrimitiveLifeways]

Bob excellent video!

[@mariomaldonado4608]

Good job brother!!

[@TheXyarddog]

Love your posts .... love the dog ....

[@1adventure.outdoors]

Love your videos! Great content! Very informative! Keep up the great work!

[@danyack9660]

great video, that trap is very effective, your stuff really works :) I also loved the ending, wow, it's amazing how high that water level rose

[@BobHansler]

It is the highest it has come in over a decade. It is leaving everything a silty mess, but hopefully it will open the way for some unique videos in the coming weeks. Glad you evjoted the vid. We'll keep them coming.

[@626-p4x]

that's a quality dog

[@cheshiresmileclinic]

Cool vid, thanks Bob

[@larrybedard7638]

Badass video! Thanks!

[@dollar4579]

love the dog 😍

[@kevin._.27]

really great and informative video thank you.

[@nathanmotz1011]

Watched one video and then subscribed.

[@dylantallant1977]

I love your videos keep up the great work

[@jessegrunden7326]

great video!! would love to try this out soon

[@BobHansler]

Works well. Wish I had been able to show all that was caught though. Nature had other plans. Good luck with the trapping.

[@batwithoutfangs]

I like his dog’s name. it’s so cuuuute

[@breker19er]

Great post!

[@BobHansler]

Trap design and application is pretty awesome.

[@Travel_Channels]

awesome videos man!

[@galacticgaming5058]

Great video as always u give great explanations

[@garland978]

You have a lot of good opportunities for fishing demos on that creek, even during high water levels. Does that creek flow through your property? Thanks for a great video Bob.

[@skyym3629]

I understand the disclaimer about screwing with the natural flow of the ecosystem. That being said, you could pretty much dam any part of that little creek or reroute it to whatever way you wish and I don't think you're gonna hurt anything at all. You said that it was over 20 feet deep just months earlier. Mother nature has a way with wiping the slate clean and starting over fresh when it want's to. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up

[@wolfie498]

How about a bit of string/rope with net attached? A lot less stones needed and very small and rucksackable. Just a thought, you would need a couple of twigs maybe. Love this :)

[@BobHansler]

The concept is sound, but securing such a rig so that there is absolutely no exit gets a bit tricky... that and making sure that you've the ideal materials to make such a contraption work. The stones took less than 10 minutes to fashion and when the flood came up, I lost nothing. There is a variation for waterfalls where you can suspend a net under the falling water though. That definitely works.

[@mojowatham1328]

U r an Ideal stud ...

[@BobHansler]

Some might agree with you. For a guy out in the middle of the woods with holes in his jeans and worn out boots...

[@aaronafrah]

Awesome video, I learned a lot

[@BobHansler]

That's the idea. Have quite a few different trap types and styles of varied complexity to demo... if nature will cooperate. Glad you liked it.

[@lukepotosky7710]

Did you find any snakes while using rhe branch to scare the fish forward towards your trap?

[@BobHansler]

Not this day.

[@maxhartenbach7488]

Great Video!

[@robertomora5154]

nice video once again 👌👍👍brotha

[@BobHansler]

Appreciate it. Would have had some awesome catch footage... but nature had other ideas.

[@theflash6286]

i love this idea

[@lovinlife4all]

I love your videos!

[@john-cx7nt]

Thanks Bob, Maybe I'll throw away all my fishing tackle. Or not. Spent way too much money on that stuff. I sure could have saved a bundle if I knew some of your fishing skills. Thanks for sharing with those of us who are sometimes lost.

[@wekulolosounaga164losou9]

Brother good job I love your videos though...

[@dcppap4483]

awesome job on the trap, worked great. pretty dick move not killing the invasive species, but overall great video
