Guess you could say the rats got revenge and gave the trap a little flip!

You do know you need to pay rights when using that expression ? ;-)

[@wilrobles5392]

The rats dogged this trap.

[@supersendojarren]

"sup guys. i'ma teach y'all how to make this new rat trap, now all you need is this fancy kind of rock and some tools you can improvise. alternatively you could have a knife and a drill and other metal tools. but if all ya got is a rock, I got you bruh." you are a legend Mr. Shawn Woods.

[@yotengo2807]

supersendojarren lmao

[@matlavi4075]

That obsidian was beautiful! It was therapeutic watching you put the trap together.

[@DM-jh9eh]

Thank you, sir. While I have no need for mouse traps, etc, you present them in such an interesting way that I look forward to every video.

[@animetheory2572]

Reminds me of your old Otzi the Iceman Series, I’m glad your going back to your old ways

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

Dude, I watched a bunch of his old videos in his playlists after reading your comment.😮 Woww! Shawn has created such a high quality history in his videos.

[@animetheory2572]

Kketansa Art I’m glad I could get you to check out his older videos. They were some of the best. It sucks KZbin restricted him from doing more

[@eduardopupucon]

yeah man i miss his bushcraft videos

[@sosteve9113]

Awesome

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

WOW, the Obsidian tutorial was so pleasant 😊 It makes more pleasing with your voice 🙂

Time for ASMR flintknapping ;)

[@SargeOfTheGuard]

Absolutely wonderful watching you knap the Obsidian and make the cordage!

[@silversilk8438]

I honestly didn't expect a twining tutorial! The flint mapping was fascinating too Thank you for these videos!

[@docink6175]

You certainly didn't lose your knapping technique, awesome video

[@gutsngorrrr]

I loved the fact that the rats weren't bothered by this trap, normally they sense the man made materials and stay clear, but because this was all natural it sort of worked.

[@markfryer9880]

Damn rats have a rescue squad now. These little bastards are too well organized. Time Shawn decimated the colony, it must be costing him a fortune in lost chicken feed and lost eggs due to stressed chickens.

[@somerandomstupidrat8870]

OH YEAH CROSSOVER TIME!!!!!

[@idvarhurd7804]

Your craftsmanship in working with stone is amazing!

[@minortriad]

The fact that you posted the result even though it failed shows that you are legit. Done completely from primitive tools, very impressive.

[@karislost9667]

As a fellow new zealander or kiwi, (we call ourselves kiwis) this was very knowledgeable. I might make this. By the way, that Maori word is prounounced: Ta-fiti maka-maka.

[@jameslivingston8301]

Thank you Shawn again! You are Amazing! You built a trap from plants...with a rock and a antler. I loved your Historic Hunter.

[@rodneyaran9635]

I love this primitive survival tutorial videos. Very informative and educational. It's frustrating that KZbin demonetize this kind of content.

[@AlyxGlide]

my man can't pronounce Tawhiti makamaka but he sure can build it!

[@jrootabega]

Pronouncing is just building out of sounds

[@edwardtupper6374]

Wh = f so Ta fee tee. There weren't any rats until the European colonisation so likely these were originally intended to snare flightless birds

[@aidendsouza3054]

Edward Tupper Or the Maori developed it sometime during the 18th or 19th century

[@plantlady42069]

Im so happy to see your old style stuff with flintknapping and the like. I miss it so much!

[@yiannikomniny4745]

I Loved the ancient technologies videos where u made spears and bows, those were the days

[@tiredolfolk2662]

You never cease to amaze me... Your knowledge, passion and resources! As far as catching... They don't call fishing; catching for a reason 😏 Thanks as always for your vids!!

[@notanimposter]

So happy to see more flintknapping on your channel!

[@judsonb2006]

I’d like to see a rat trap, either walk the plank style or the log roll style . With maybe a 25 gallon tub, something tall enough they can’t jump out. Great videos Shawn, thanks.

[@brie1114]

I really enjoy your videos, had to see this cause I'm a new Zealander :)

[@nickriel21]

Ive been your fan since your primitive tool making days when you used to hunt deers with primitive arrows. its awesome to see you going back to your roots from time to time.

[@ngauge22]

The rat getting away with help from his friends is unfortunate. You put a lot of work into that trap and I learned how to make cordage. Very well done. Thank you.

[@willierants5880]

I loved the video so much I've watched it multiple times already. So many valuable skills to be learned here with an excellent practical demonstration.

[@ElusiveMasquerade]

This is one of my all time favorite channels.

[@danisaac]

A blast from the past! loved how you made from scratch with no tools

[@fehlfarben166]

d tube and dailymotion for me the best without censorship like yt

[@maggiee639]

It’s my understanding that flecking knives is pretty difficult to learn how to do but you make it look so easy!

[@shadowwriter329]

2:43 that piece that just broke off here looks like it would make a perfect arrow head.

[@razorsaber2287]

shadowwriter329 Yeah I noticed that too

[@yeeturmcbeetur8197]

Wow. Cobble and obsidian. Looks like you’re ready for the nether.

[@themightymo6936]

Please keep em coming Sean. My children love your videos.

[@Backstabmacro]

I love these kind of crafting videos, keep it up man!!

[@robertball1532]

Great to see flint knapping demonstrations again 👍

[@ssmit80]

Very cool. NIce to see you harvested everything from nature, except the fiber grown in your garden. Plus you made your own tools!

[@Nymphiiee]

Flax is also used to make kete baskets in NZ, it's great.

[@karlregan5276]

The flint knapping was cool! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@geminiwriter8875]

I was scrolling down my newsfeed. Reading the English catchphrases and subtitles etc. then I read Tawhiti Makamaka and went ‘wait... that’s not English... that’s MY language..’ all I know of my culture, never knew this existed. Came with curiosity, left with wisdom, thank you for branching out for knowledge all over the world :)

[@RickCarter1776]

Here for the primitive build aspect of the video, nice primitive skill set Shawn!

[@baronvg]

That dragon glass- er, obsidian looks badass!

[@kantill]

Awesome to see some of the old channel sneak into your new channel.

[@reallyhightemplar4013]

i find it epic how smart they are that they cooperate and help their friend that got caught

[@vyngo7825]

That rocky thing looks like magic

[@FrancisSims]

Wow, your skill with these primitive technologies is amazing!

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

Imagine what Shawn could do if he was named Shawn Stone or Shawn Steel. But Shawn Woods works great. Thank you Shawn!

[@orange42]

Pronounced "Tah-fitty mahkah-mahkah" or "mucka-mucka." Spelling error in description, correct on video :)

[@arponto]

This is correct pronunciation

[@gabrielflores3262]

Oh no! Shawn turned to a rat! 8:30

[@LukeHeuer]

Good to see you’re going back to your roots! Awesome combination of your content!

[@cuber9320]

This takes me back to why subscribed. A man and simple tools. MTM is still good tho.

[@herbwag6456]

Terrific watching you build that trap! Wish we had obsidian around here!

[@miskatonic763]

You should look up videos of a British Show called Time Team. There a group of archeologists who explore British historical sites to find out all they can with a limit of 3 days. One of the archeologists is a master flint knapper. He's amazing to watch. He can recreate a tool within a few minutes and prove how well they work. I think you might like it.

[@jasonleedham5678]

Love the ancient skills, personally i think some of the old knapping videos are the best you have made!

[@Sludgepump]

Fantastic Shawn! Very interesting watching you knap that nice big chunk of obsidian.

[@leesass3602]

I always appreciate your video Shawn, perhaps and not similar to a hangman's noose that will tighten but not loosen easily. That way if another rat chews through the string the rat that got caught will still suffocate

[@iamTheSnark]

Your videos are the best when I do my morning routine. Potter around in the kitchen, do my workout, enjoy your voice. Thank you.

[@rensbos4176]

This is one of your best and most unique vids, keep up the good work!

[@a.i.a3949]

Been a while since any flint knapping, primitive stuff was my favourite part of your channel :)))

[@tycreps6407]

I absolutely love the primitive style videos! My mindset as well. I miss the foraging and heirloom gardens. Any plans for continuing that stuff?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That was cool watching you make the tools and the trap!

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

yes Shawn has talents.

[@oct123456]

Absolutely love these longer videos

Getting in on that Primitive Technology trend? Well you're doing a fantastic job of it, good show.

[@DanStone1980]

I’m really liking the construction videos. Thanks!

[@SueBobChicVid]

Mouse traps, wildlife video, now geology. I've never seen obsidian. That is very unusual - to me. And I live under a rock.

[@PGRFN]

I missed the Flint knapping videos 👍👍

[@vincew.2824]

A true Renaissance Man! Way to be self sufficient.

[@redwalker7243]

That was a great video. Enjoyed watching you knapping out those tools and use them to make the trap . Looking forward to your next video.

Wow I got to say this is been your best video yet

Ayyy. Oregon obsidian. Glad you visited. Lol

[@jolllyroger1]

Those brambles in the background make great fast easy cordage

Way cool seeing the entire process!

[@lizchatfield692]

Thank Shawn native NZ people had lots of ways to catch food . thanks .

[@LacoteCohen]

If I ever get lost in the woods i can never go hungry thank you Mr. Woods

[@DavidOldenburg1]

Very impressed with how you showed the entire build! I'm guessing you are a former boy scout! Great channel :-)

[@zwz.zdenek]

You could make a casing made of stones or even mud reinforced with straw to prevent the rats from accessing the trap from the side with minimum effort compared to the build.

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

Outstanding Shawn.

[@ScootLoops616]

You the man shawn. Hope this doesnt get demonitized somehow but with your luck who knows.

[@TheVocalTune]

Dang that trap needs to have back up traps since they seem to know to do some JOLLY COOPERATION! probably need to put thorns or blades surrounded that part where the rat bit off the rope.

[@bobozinkermanlives9553]

Amazing work, great flintnapping!

[@pierre5325]

Fascinating, very educational, I liked this one much.

[@pauljs75]

I wonder if something like this could be hybridized with the Spanish windlass type trap? So something like a small catapult frame made with sticks that would be portable, but tensioned by the cordage so you're not worried about having a springy enough stick. And that could still be made with relatively primitive methods.

[@Mike_Martian]

This was amazing stuff! You should try doing some bushcraft videos!

[@Jacobson47]

Imagine him and dutch bushcraft guys catching and eating rats lol

[@markj127]

Best video yet.
