Snaring Small Game | First Good Snow

[@Chardifications]

This is fast becoming my favorite KZbin channel. Great film work, editing, music and interesting topics. Wishing you nothing but success Ed. 👍🙏

[@MountainMariner]

Thank you!

[@frankpohl4377]

Yeah the atmosphäre is unic. Not much talk but nice films practical tips and a feeling of wilderness like not many YTconten producer can over. I thought this morning "If WW3 would start with a nice nuclear attac ....this place would not be in troubel. " Best place to be when the dirt hits the fan :-)

[@MountainMariner]

Hopefully it is a prime spot to survive in that unfortunate circumstance.

If the world did come to an end as we know it. I'd definitely want to be joining Ed's tribe. He has the perfect set up with modern conveniences. Though he may not be too happy if 1-200 people turn up at his door. Lol

[@frankpohl4377]

I love Eds content. Its diverend. I hopw that he can make money with iit to support his time when he stops working or reduce working time. Many YTbers make millions with much talk but nonsences often and no quality infos. I love this sureal cabin space. Ad has alot dicipline that I have NOT.

I've done fair amount of hunting but I've never snared. It saves on lead and it's cleaner. Glad your getting some snow. I'm surprised YT isn't hollering! I'm not sure how people think food gets to the table. Take care and see you next time.

Love those northern lights! When I process small game weather it's for food or fur, I use anvil type pruners for feet removal. Helps save your blade and is a time saver as well. As always another great video!

That’s a quick way to remove the feet. I’ve got that tool but snapping and cutting them was the quickest, otherwise I would have had to shovel snow out from the workshop door!

Hey Ed, was wondering if those Alaska Bunnies have lice. In Wisconsin our cotton tail rabbits do. When hunting them I would recover the bunny and hang it on a branch and grab it on the way back home. That way once their body temp drops the lice jump off. As a kid i had many meals of rabbit pot pie! In the winter i spent most week ends hunting bunnies and grouse with my Border Collie and Lab mix. Back then at a young age i used a single shot 410. Great memories with those 2 faithful dogs! Love your videos!!!

[@MountainMariner]

No lice fortunately. Or ticks. Or snakes. Not many alligators up here either! 😂

[@Suzie-he9ni]

I watch old reruns of Alone. They catch all their own food in the wild. It's so hard to watch cute bunnies getting killed but with the economy the way it's going all of us might have to start hunting and trapping to survive. Good information Ed.

[@MountainMariner]

If you have to feed yourself and have a hundred other things to do instead of hunting, snares are the answer. Low effort, high reward.

Congrats! You’re batting .500 on the bunny highway. Happy to see you wearing gloves while processing the bunnies. Nobody wants a jab in the backside if you don’t have to. I’ve preached till I’m blue in the face to my son about it (retired nurse here). Intro music was great! Nice change of pace. Don’t get me started on those Northern Lights 😍. Thanks for letting us hang out with you.

[@frankpohl4377]

yeah music is better the other has a dark vibe. And you mean that bunnys can transmitt viruses or parasits???

[@SuzanneHarden]

@@frankpohl4377 Hi Frank. Tularemia is a bacteria and if a bunny is infected, little white dots appear on the liver. When processing and removing innards, this bacteria can be transmitted, especially if there are any breaks in the skin (cuts, hang nails) on the hands. Eating undercooked meat infected with Tularemia can also infect a person. Edmund was wise to wear gloves to protect himself from possible exposure since he didn’t know if his bunnies were infected. Hope this clarifies my earlier post.

[@frankpohl4377]

Ed is one of my safty first heros on TY. No I understand.. as a facility manager I also do know some basice about poison fungis in buildings not only chemical stuff. Viruses also can transmitt in wildlive or thevirus in the mice poop. The hunter virus for exp. is traveling in nord germany malde hundrets thick- the virus is in that stuff and when people clean without ewaring a FFP2 mask they can get the virus into the breathsystem.

[@frankpohl4377]

The new music was nice! Sounds positive! Your etho standard music or sounds are a little dark vibe based. The preparation of your meal in the bunny mansion kitchen was also nice to watch. Bunny shoes because you can make a shoe out of one bunny? I remember my first 3 week school internship in a big restaurant with traditionell german food on the table. I was 14 years old. This internship should help a young soul to find a job for the future. I had 3 of this while I was in School. I had to put smal holes into the bunnb or rabbit back and then puting 1 centimeter sticks pure porkfett stripes into the holes then this bunny was cooked in the ofen....I never forgot my first bunny :-) Wild flesh is the best God has to over. The flesh fiber and the food that this wild life consume is chemical free and taste awsome! Cooking videos also would draw more women into your canal :-) But please wear a nice Cook cheff uniform and hut! I can send you one from Germany!

I’ll eventually add some cooking videos but generally my diet consists of boring, healthy and quick to cook meals. I do a lot of stews too and those are famously boring to watch simmering on the stove!

The "ladder thing" In germany everyone how has to stepps on ladders have to make a 2 hour coaching "for the safty first ladder" using. One of the insurance worker comps gives the training. One of my colleg fall from 4 meters..broke his back. As a privat person its also good to know how to work secure on a ladder. Tipp 1: When stepping on a roof- make sure that the ladder is ca. 100 centimeter longer then the roff so you can keep a hand on the ladder when you step on the roof 2: We instale a big metal hoes under the roof and bin the ladder to that thing. That makes sure that the ladder cann fall to the left or right or down.. 3: After law- in Germany every roof must have a secure system where you can hook into. Of course this is not easy but build but if you have a strong roof structure with a monster log- you could drill a 2 centimeter hole through the metal the insolation and through the log. Then you bring a monster screw (lets say 30 centim oder however the log is thick- and bind it t ogether. On the roof you make sure that it is water proof with silicon and so. Eyebold? On top of the roof you have now the first security system. Of course you could instal such a system in the mittle of the roof and in the sitting position like you do it reaching the point and there you conect yourself and then you can start the work...The wind is also danger. I had to work on 100 meter high buildings. Sometimes the windwafes hit me like on the beach! Of course the right shoes...Frank

[@frankpohl4377]

last "architectural thoughts" Cabin insolation: Its clear that the builder had build the cabin for 3 season using. I know some YTer canals that had build a cabin or even a home in the coldest parts of alaska. They created the buildings in the best insolation quality floor roof walls all the classic idems like mudroom and often with shutters bear proove and so on. All waterpipes inside to building for protection- some had build a fantasic foundament dry cross circulation for air. Some had 2 windows for better insolation. Dry cabins are often build for the 3 season time- hunting fisching and so on. Off course the position on top of the hill makes the cabin the worlds best hunting stand with 360 suround view. Moose and other fine food on feeds in focus of the kal 50! Perfect spot! In the building industry we call a optimizing of a structur "revitalize" Some empty building will be a Hotel other micro appartements. Using the structure and make more out of it. Building for 365 in extrem cold -scandinavia Bawaria Alaska sibiria- have small windows to reduce the cold pressure into the home- small windows a "Must have" Big monster windows panorama style is a sign for the 3 season use of a cabin. The goal is to change the 3 season bbuilding in a 4 season building. Wind-power snowpower in your eara is hard core. Time affort money logistics "only 2 hands" on deck- weather dictator- a special program needed or kreative improvisation to make the best out of it stepp by stepp. Architectural thoughts- starting with a question: Has the walk around the cabin the terasse or veranda the same logs the same foundament like the rest of the cabin? If not is it possible to strengthen this part of the outdoor of the cabin with own tree logs? You have nice logs not so fat but strong and big enough to use them you need another bigger tool to make them "building material". Think about this: If the structure can carry some more 300-400 Kilo weight- then you could build another skin wall or second wall in the northside and use this place with the RV toilett or a composite WC and showerroom. I thing part of the old shower house could be used for the first part. The new second skin would be a strong barrier between the outside and insie the space the air would reduce the pressure of cold into the wall and the windows. ou need not more so much wood for the heating. Many had build a second skin around a "summer cabin" to have a better insolation. Often they started with a muddroom. And if you feel the wind of change after building the northside with a barrier- you could go on and build the next skin later when you have money and power and time or even helpers. Wood has a big heat storage capacity. Log houses are real hot buildings and they regulate even in summer the humidity in a home. Big panorama windows are wunderfull for the view but they are a great luxury in the artic space where you live. Idea: When you have time you take out one of the monster panorama and fill the space with a strong wood insolation the wood fiber has the power. To do this you would reduce heat losses through the window- and you create a natural heat storage IN the wood slates. Even 10 centimeter slate is enought for the inside- the outsiide needs extra water proove slates (natural oil for impregnation or fire) and to cover the microspace between the slates (lets say12 cm by 2 or 3 cm vertical so the water can run faster and nail a 3 cm slate over the contact line to close it for rain) The winterproove loghouse from Albert Einstein is still dry and has no fungi after 100 years. He had 10 cm logs with slates outside and inside. Made a perfect insolation that can breath and regulate. You can safe the panorama window for the next skin wall and integrate it into the now wall. Also you could build shooting windows like in the castles and hunting spaces if you love to shoot from the toilet or from the shower :-) Or while you make coffe 🙂 If you can insolate the floor from the outside and make is more wind proove then you would have a better athmosfähr in the home. There where the biggest space is on the terasse of veranda- there I would build the combi muddroom/waterstorage/ Shower. The other space around the cabin like a walk around in a U-form. You could walk and watch have enough light and you can shoot if youl like to. The walls you could use as storage space. The roof in such a angle that the snow load could slide like a racing men on a ski. Windows as you can affford them. The inside windows- you can open them if you will let heat to the walkaround- and you build a door into the new space. Ventilation will be possible and in summer? The new skin would be a protection for the cabin it brakes the sunpower and the sun is not more hitting the inside like bevore. If you like this ideas- and you have fun to create a YT dialog then make a 5 Minutes video about the foundament of the cabin so that I and others can see in what kind of stone rock the logs are grounded and how the transoms are. I thing that is is possible to make the walkaround stabil with not much money. T-beams out of your own wood- bound to the rock- 3-4 pices per side. Also space that you could use for fire wood storage for 2 month or so 🙂Love Frank with fun in creating ideas to "make the place a better home"
