Secret Trap You Have Never Seen Before

[@SurvivalLilly]

Thanks for watching this video. My knife is sold out btw... so I want to thank all my customers who supported me and bought an APO-1. For those who did not get one in time I expect new knives to arrive in about 1-2 weeks. If you want to get a reminder per email. Just send me a business email. You will find the email address at my website www.survivallilly.at/shop

[@CrankyPantss]

[@1959jimbob]

Lilly, I can appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement on learning this trap but my people have been using this trap for hundreds of years to great success. Please don't feel bad here, I am not criticizing you in any way and by all means keep up the learning. You do excellent diy/how-to videos and they are always things we all can learn from.

[@jakes1292]

Thanks for sharing Lilly! It is really nice to see this on video. The old books are confusing and your explanation is so much better to see how it actually works. Cheers!

[@darrelkopsa7143]

Spring snares are actually quite common as a means of catching small ( or large ) game for survival. Learned these in Boy Scouts as a youngster. The variations are generally in the trigger mechanism. Certain animals, like rabbits use established trails a lot, especially for escape routes. They usually run in a circular route to confuse scent trackers, so you can use snares without bait as well. Nice to see someone besides special forces guys showing some of this.

[@jeandavoux7393]

never leave a trap or anything else behind you. rule number 1 in the wilde. you are a good teacher Lilly.

[@todddoyka5202]

the spring pole set has been used for thousands of years in various settings.

[@paulwalsh2344]

Yes. I've seen examples of North American native spring snares too of course, but it's the trigger mechanism that's kinda unique. Usual spring snares use a hooked notches or a lever held by the short key peg that's under the "V"-shaped anchor peg. This one doesn't use hooked notches or a lever, but the bait itself as the trigger holding the key peg, and that's a cool idea.

[@kantill]

If you remove the branches from your spring pole it will faster, less drag.

[@kantill]

@America Reigns sorry don't know what that word means. But the concept is pretty simple. The more surface area you have I.E. the branches the more drag. Kinda like putting a bunch things on a car or plane that catches the wind.

[@steveyonah1084]

Not a beaver "Dam" but probably a beaver hutch built into the bank. I have seen many instances where instead of building a typical hutch in the middle of a dammed up pond, the beavers will dig a den into the side of a high bank, then cover it with cut logs/limbs to protect from predators.

for the loop you should learn the poachers knot when it tightens it will not loosen until you loosen it great video thank you see you on the next one

[@OlJarhead]

It's always funny when young people think they "discover" something new. I am from Southern Indiana, and my dad showed me how to make this snare back around 1970 when I was 10 years old. But I do like your videos Lilly. Thanks for bringing the old ways to young people. P.S. this snare will not work well in very cold weather, as the snare tends to freeze in the bent position, and will usually have little or no spring when set off.

[@leonardcharlesnew1591]

Hands up all those who's face lit up with a wicked grin when Lilly mentions "Neighbour's cat" 😁

[@Angelshaven777]

I love it...thanks for the demonstration, will definitely use this method in a survival situation

[@Angelshaven777]

@Mr. Shlock yes they do..lol

[@Angelshaven777]

I'm not in the woods..but not quite in the city either...but close to it

[@Angelshaven777]

@Mr. Shlock well if you want to buy from here it would be a good choice, the reason it's so reasonable here is because it's the real South, no city lights, not as much partying going on...I live in the Bible belt area of this State, people are just laid back, easy going and kind. I've lived in the city and wouldn't give two cents to move back....the country is all I'll ever want to be. So good luck!

[@lorenray223]

50ish years ago a Minnesotan (USA) taught me a huge variant version for deer! We also immediately dismantled it for safety, after pitching a log into the air!!! He was a huge farm boy! Hard to set a 200pound pull!!! Good reminder!!!

[@Imagezone61]

Greetings from Florida. Lilly, I recently discovered, and love your videos. You are a smart woman with great survival skills. I see you using your knife a lot. Personally I carry a small axe as well as a knife. An axe may serve you better for cutting trees as it has a bit more weight, and you can swing it with more force. Just my opinion of course. Thanks for your great videos!

[@Kevin_Kennelly]

I agree. A small ax is a superior tool for that task. The ax has much more momentum than a knife because of it's weight. But the weight is also the problem. You need to travel light in a survival situation. Your tools need to be multi-purpose (knife). I agree with your opinion for day-to-day work. And I agree that Lilly is a very good KZbinr. I bet she'd make a good teacher.

[@animistchannel2983]

KZbinrs trying to use what is basically a H2H combat knife for every job imaginable is kind of a running joke at this point. It's like they all watched Crocodile Dundee and Rambo too many times. Whenever an old camper brings up "Get a hatchet!" in the comments, the one-blade-fits-all fanboys throw a hissy fit to defend the macho image. I used to go to the bush with a hatchet, a sturdy chef knife, and a thin paring/bait knife. I owned combat knives, but they usually got left behind as a waste of weight. I would literally take a sword first -- at least that had some reach. That said, Lily's APO-1 knife looks like a good version of its kind. I think she picked the right compromises for the way she actually uses it. Most "bad at everything but looking good" knives I've seen aren't as well rounded. Still, for a kilogram of loadout, a hatchet/tomahawk is the best bet you can get.

[@reymundocarlosescobedo3856]

So instead of the stone you would use a piece of fruit.Nicely done they need to open season on crows they over take the other nice birds of nature.

I have determined that your videos are the best out there for this genre. I have gone through Military Sere Training, JEST School, and who know how many wilderness training programs. I have trekked in Dessert, Alpine, Jungle, Forrest biomes, both in the winter and in the summer months. as well as deserted island hopped in Indonesia. At 63, I have done a lot, however I love watch on our videos. I always learn something, whether new, another perspective, or a better way to do it. Thank you for sharing.

Nice videos dear friend Lily. 👍😊

[@blackhatbushcraft]

It a a great trap Lilly. I use the same configuration but where you used the stone (aka fruit) I use a very thin stick to balance the toggle with bait smeared on that stick. It makes for a "hair trigger." I haven't used a 2nd loop as you did but only a single loop (good idea!). Also, I tie the snare loop with a knot that doesn't open back up without manipulating open somewhat like a neuse. It is a great configuration for a survival trap that is adaptable for the target species. Take care.

[@vincelee6247]

Great video, what kind of knife are you using in this video? It looks like a Schrade. Thanks for sharing Lilly..

[@FullmetalAngyl]

But what if you WANT to catch the neighbor's cat!? XD Awesome video. Amazing trap. It's so much simpler having the bait holding up the toggle like that.

hahaha telling the crows to shut up made me laugh so hard, you made my day, also i am pretty sure i saw that trap in the SAS survival guide book, however in the big book not the pocket book ..... thank you for sharing great videos Lilly ....peace and love from Canada...

[@patriciahibbert6139]

I read a lot of your comments and they say that snare setup is old ,Well it maybe to some and others not.I've done it for rabbits and other small game,lol.But I now use 2 fibre glass rods out of a dome tent for greater strength and tape all the joints to keep them from separating.And you will have a real strong trap for hanging rabbits and any small game ;-)

[@brianlee6849]

Very nice. I just found you on KZbin I really enjoy your videos. I used to live in Alaska for 7 and 1/2 years and I've taken some survival classes. I really enjoy the outdoors love fishing hunting camping everything but you never know when you're going to have to actually be in a real life survival situation. Especially when I lived in Alaska. One of the big things they taught us in Alaska was to bring proper clothes even if it's a beautiful sunny warm day in an hour it could be practically freezing and rainy. Many people die from hypothermia in Alaska because they go out unprepared. Thank you I'm going to keep watching.

[@BWORKZ_SouthWales]

One of the First ever snare traps my grandad ever showed me as a young boy! Useful yet old. I have always preferred snares to deadfall or spike traps personally. The easiest for catching birds is a simple length of string tied to a post at 1 end with bread threaded onto it. When they eat the bread they swallow the string and can't fly away. Very useful
