Build a Primitive Crawdad Trap with just a knife

[@sigma3survivalschool]

One of the reasons we haven't been posting as much is because of slow internet. This video took 12 hours to upload!

[@Project_Tribe]

I feel your pain. My internet was down for a week and now I've got about 60 subscription vids to watch!

[@jahut7321]

could you use the bamboo fishing trap technique for this that you showed a while back? Sigma 3 Survival School

[@insumner1]

Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good work. Do what you can. We will wait.

[@austintravelstead1805]

How many did you catch

[@pokemongo1748]

[@ozarkadventures121]

I spent a month in the wilderness with just a knife, and some time later spent eleven month and one week in the wilderness by myself just because I wanted to do so. Both times, I ate enough crawdads to keep me stuffed until I got a better food supply going. I found a standard fish trap worked better than a dedicated crawdad trap. Even with an opening large enough for some sizable fish to get through, the trap still held a LOT of crawdads, and some of them were huge. How many crawdads you get depends on where you are, I guess. With a piles of fish guts taken from tiny fish, which were easy to get, in the trap, I often caught more than thirty crawdads per trap. I let many of the small ones go because I just didn't need them. I also set a couple of dozen deadfall traps, and while they didn't produce as well as the fish trap, they gave me a decent amount meat, fur, and a lot more guts to bait the fish/crawdad traps. I killed a deer then, and all was fine, but I still kept after the fish and crawdads. I like them, and they're one of the easiest sources of meat you can find.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

absolutely. these small traps we build yield on average 5-6 per pull. I go fishing. Bait the traps with guts. then use the smaller crawdads to catch bigger fish. Its all a cycle of food.

great vid Sigma troops, always good to learn some new stuff. Much respect and keep up the great work.

[@theoriginalkeepercreek]

Amazing video - but would have been really nice to see it in action and what you got!!

[@RileyMcArthur]

jackie would make a great co-host :P

[@elvinamillaneam]

Great video Rob... I don't get out much but do practice my skills in my back yard. My 1st basket I made fro vines in back yard it was about the size of shot glass perfect to carry small stuff around my neck. This I learn from your channel. Now when I'm in the park I wive one and leave it there on bench for any one...

[@vulkris]

I only make traps out of bottles and I never eat them as I hate seafood, but in a survival situation ill be as picky as the crawdads, thank you for the knowledge, and ideas :)

[@jodyreeder4820]

Any plans to show how to make baskets?

[@davewhitcomb2211]

Cool video, here's the old Indian way: Take some vine and a tumble weed (cut down a small bush if you live out east) and lace it with some old meat (bacon works best). Tie a rock to it and dunk it in the nearest lake/river/stream and check every hour to get your bucket of crawfish.

[@2kChannel13]

Good vid

[@flamedrag18]

I suspect that ramp would be enough to trap fish too, tiny opening.

[@Echo4PapaBravo]

Great job. Love your vids. Thanks for coming back to KZbin, brother. We've missed ya. Now I'm gonna have to start bringing butter and lemon to the woods with me. Semper Fi

[@kan-zee]

We really enjoy your vids ..thank you for posting and plz keep em coming. What makes your vids so awesome, is you not only take the time to show the DIY technique..but you demonstrate its use in the bush..That is awesome. Your Survival School must be a great place to learn Self Reliance skills. Wish you had a school in Ontario Canada.. Cheers ;-)) LOL Certified Woods NinjaGirl..lmbo..lol

[@charleschristopher9178]

I suspect that building it bigger would work for crabs and/or lobsters; for people who live near the coasts.

[@xenoptryx]

Just as an FYI, when you say "crawdad" anywhere near south MS or LA people take it to mean "I'm a dumbass". Proper terminology is "crawFISH". Just so you know. Love your site and good info.

[@Hodggoblin]

tomato and tamato = crawdad and crawfish ya silly pronunciation nazi

[@lilfeetz1587]

I live in tn and ive always heard them called crawdads.

[@briannacampbell8332]

I'm in Mississippi and we say crawdad all the time. Just don't mess up and say Crayfish and we'll leave you be.

[@A10DoubleHelix]

12 HOURS?! WHY? Hey by the way, What kind of bow is that that your shooting in your intro?

[@lm2193]

his gf claimed his credit for making a better basket :P

[@EtherealRazer]

Please show your traps catching the things they're meant to catch. It would make a much better video.

[@Hodggoblin]

Most of the traps they make are illegal to use for hunting so they dont show catch anything with them on video .

[@tloomfield8184]

whats up with the mask.
