Primitive Technology: Crab and Fish Trap

[@primitivetechnology9550]

A simple project most people should easily be able to replicate. If you make lots of traps and put them in a long stretch of creek they should provide a modest daily source of protein.

@JamieTanner-gd4dt right but even if he has a book he promotes. My point is he doesn't do those absurd projects like you see the copycat videos do. Like this video is a perfect example.

I love that all of this stuff isn't in a complete vacuum. Getting to see the progress updates and updates after weather conditions is really cool to me. It's just a deeper peek into what it ACTUALLY takes to live and work and thrive in a "primitive" environment and lifestyle. It brings it all to life. Having a furnace to make pottery isn't just a drawing on a textbook page that exists forever. Its a real thing in the real environment and makes you realize that the tribe/village potters probably had to rebuild their furnace a couple times a year or more. People were constantly refurbishing and repairing dwellings and workspaces, and there were probably folks that were specialists in that. Pretty incredible to think about how complex and nuanced their society probably was compared to what the overall assumptions people have about primitive societies. Been following this channel for years and its one of about four channels I actually have post notifications on for.

In Ukraine such fish traps are about 2-3 times bigger, are made of willow cane and are called "ятер" ("yáter") or "верша" ("vérsha"). Work very well. I remember my childhood when I've spent summer vacations in a village with my grandparents, in early 1980's. Those were golden times! Each morning we went to the picturesque Yátran river to check our yaters, and came back home with 2-3 buckets of fish. Bigger fish we ate and with smaller we fed our cats and ducks.

One of the most effective fish traps. Traps like this (but much larger of course) are still in use in Syberia and northern regions of Russia. It's easy to make with fish net and wooden or metal rings, "wings" are made of wooden/metal frame and fish net too (wings are guiding fish into trap). You can use different size of fish nets to let small fish go throu trap and only catch big one. You can easily block small river and "filter" it with one winged trap. Just remember to NEVER abandon traps like this in water. It turns into fish graveyard pretty damn quickly.

I was watching him before KZbin, from the canopy

1. I cant express my gratitude enough for just releasing all these creatures 2. Im fascinated how well that crab blends with rocks.

Animals are friends, not food 💚

[@corporatecapitalism]

Makes me hungry

[@jmjedi923]

​@@COLDCHEMICALpresents they are food, hence why trapd like this have been around for most of human history. Its also wasteful to kill the wild animals in for the purposes of this video however

[@squidwardo7074]

Besides the crab most were too small to eat. Too much effort for how much you get out of it. Not the worst if you're surviving off it though

[@ParkerWonser-v1l]

THIS IS THE REASON WE LOVE KZbin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP

[@thatguychris5654]

More fish will swim upstream into the trap than float down into it. Place this trap with the pointed side upstream and the opening facing down for best results.
