Survival Fishing - Most epic survival basket fish trap ever!

[@dif4us]

I know you boys aren't basket weavers by trade, though this is a great show, but I'd like to suggest drying your materials, then soaking them until pliable. This ensures that you do not get any breakage and that it's more likely you won't get mold, etc. Hope that's helpful to someone :)

[@robertmeadows7508]

Well its comments like yours that not only make the project more enjoyable,but could make the difference between success or failure.Thank you.

[@pher8487]

Dif Bengoyte and this is for survival situation,yeah right

[@naturewithandy7204]

This basket is built to sit under water!not really any point in drying it out.

[@machodeth4822]

Epic is definitely a good description. The concept is basic to understand and the function seems 100% Anyone doubting this method obviously doesn't know jack shit about survival, or even how fish work for that matter. Thanks for sharing knowledge as always Rob, lots of us DO appreciate the knowledge. Hope all the D-bags never deter you.

[@AdventureArchives]

fantastic instructional video. thanks!

[@jimray1111]

Hey Josh, I love the design and its ability to be used not only as a trap but a pack as well. Awesome job! One thing Ive noticed on weaving vids is the starter row is called twining because they almost invariably us twin to start the weave. If you have a little extra paracord or bankline you might want to use it for the first 5 or so wraps then go to the vines. Thats not criticism by any means, just an observation. Again, great job brother!

[@PhoenixCustomPrimiti]

I know what I'll be making next. I have the bamboo, sedge/broom grass and vines. Looks like a real fun project to get into. Thanks!

[@seankmorris]

I will make one of these in the next few weekends and test it. I am inspired. Thanks.

[@jaquezmeov6172]

Another awesome video! Im going to take this idea of yours and use it in my Jungle camping adventure in Thailand- next month! woohoo!

[@MrSoulAdder]

This reminds me of a 2 liter bottle minnow trap where you cut the dom of the bottle off and shove the neck into the bottle great video i will really enjoy making this and trying it out

[@jarodmorris611]

I wish these channels that make fish traps, snares, etc. would show their stuff in action. It's cool to make them but what's the point unless they actually work?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Jarod Morris all primitive trapping is illegal sir

[@crappyone]

Sigma 3 Survival School Depends on what state you live in. As far as I've read and heard, primitive trapping is legal in our state.

[@rampagedaughter7947]

+Sigma 3 Survival School then whats the point if teaching it to us if we can't even use it and don't say it's for survival because it really isn't Jarod Morris is right what's the point unless they actually work also look at the twelve likes he's got just shows how many people think your wrong plus if it really is illegal then teach us something that isn't.

[@jarodmorris611]

I believe in my state that I can use some of these traps on my own property legally. I can't use them on other people's property or public lands.

[@dickeydanger6156]

It's an old Japanese style that's been around for hundreds of years. Maybe even longer. It'll work.

[@josephcade3541]

THANKYOU you saved my life

[@ERuiz-fe1db]

I was wondering if I could use five fifty cord for the basket? If I could do you know of any pros and cons to using the cord for the entire basket, minus the frame. Appreciate these videos, very informative and you guys make it look easy. Keep it up

[@rvlqcitizen]

However, that said, I've been thinkin on tryin to make on for quite a while now and seeing as there're vines EVERYwhere, problem solved. Now to go do it. Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to make one from palm branches and leaves. But I reckon I'll start with vines.

[@robertmeadows7508]

You made a beautiful thing there sir,well done.You have inspired me to have a go .Thank you.Will let you know how I get on.

[@brettlaw920]

I haven't seen anyone else mention it, but the same basket making technique could be easily used to make hanging gardens. If you live in an area where wildlife regularly eat up your edibles, this could be used to ensure you have a steady source of root vegetables that isn't being pillaged by hogs, bears, deer, etc.

[@BearPhylls]

Shared on my Facebook page ; when I grow up I wanna be just like bear grylls.

[@tillinvite]

awsome video man, i might just have found a new favorite youtube channel :D

[@brookegermond6123]

Nice. I lived off the land for three years as a survival instructor, but I at least had a knife. No gun or fishing equipment, but yea, I had a knife.

[@kaypes1998]

These videos are great! Keep it up, you just got a new subscriber

[@Bassghost007]

Great video as usual brother!

[@mountsmountainbushcraft4483]

Great trap but there goes my spring video lol you guys do a great job keep up the good work and thanks for your videos

[@orielfelz7599]

simply admirable!

[@mrbluenun452]

This is one of my first views of your stuff, have you a video where they actually catch fish?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

like i mentioned in the video. just bundle sticks together and it will work the same way.

[@raejones5721]

Best damn little basket ever and I am making mines now. Thanks

[@TheSquidly1]

i hope this isnt too odd of an idea, but could i use this weaving skill to make a shelter which would go in a tree as a semi long term shelter? like a tree house?

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

we have sandbar willow here. i think an easy way to make a backet is make a big willow ,wreath, lay it on the ground, shove five or seven spoke through the wreath into the ground and work my basket from fat to thin at the top, then pull the whole thing out of the ground and make the funnel for the fish. sounds super fast and effective. would you guys give this method a try and see how it works? ill try it too and post the results :D

[@jeffmoestaygyi.1248]

im making videos testing these, have you guys ever tried putting a trap door on these with weaved vines and a makeshift hinge rock weight or maybe a catail leaf throat trapping them in? im trying different desighs like this.

[@annparis4981]

yes these work flawlessly. pioneers use to put them under small waterfalls. These work like a funnel. As the fish swim, if one swims into the large end, the funnel herds the fish from the larger end through the smaller end, and into the reservoir. Once the fish swim down the funnel into the reservoir, the fish cant line themselves straight enough to swim back out. Small fish can swim out, large fish cannot. Cut the top of a plastic water bottle, invert it and put it back into the bottle. put it into a shallow lake and in an hour it will be filled with minnows you can use for bait. Also, if I'm lost in the wilderness by a stream or body of water, the last thing on my mind will be the fishing laws. In fact I would HOPE and PRAY some forest ranger stumbled across me. I'd welcome the citation!

[@evolutionaryprepping4414]

I have tried the basket trap and I do think it is an effective fish trap but there is one the tops them all in my opinion which is the gill net. The cons of a gill net is that it takes a lot of cordage to make one and you need different sizes for different sized fish. The pros of a gill net is that you can deploy it it a lake, river, or an ocean, you can feed a very large population with just one (depending on the length and the size of fish), if you can't catch fish you can always put it high up in the air to catch birds, it does not require bait, and it does not take a lot of knowledge to make one. (You only need to know how to make an overhand knot and a cow hitch.)

[@creativewoodworker4300]

Thanks!

[@rockfordteaparty]

Two questions: In North America finding a bamboo stick may not be simple, what can be used instead of bamboo? And what kind of vine did you use in this video...how can you tell a good vine from a Poison Ivy Vine?

[@Wlddog1]

That brought up a visual. Could see all the cats in your area suddenly without tails, and you putting one freaky trap into the water.

[@HaiDiMeng]

To do the basket with an even amount of spokes simply follow the Japanese weaving technique and do 2 over and one under. Simple and easy just make sure you do not mess up the pattern.

[@rey9883]

Underwater Basket Weaving 101... lol

[@ThePrayerHotline]

Great video :) I only need to know now is how to lure the fish inside.

[@shockey4n1]

i live in south central pa, close to lancaster/buck county area, and i can find bamboo growing in our woodland areas, its rare, but you can find bamboo ;P,

[@Laughinghawg]

Rob, would soaking the vines(the ones you are weaving) over night or longer make the job of weaving easier and quicker? or would it create some kind of problem with the materials/vines?

[@zachgooch173]

+Laughing Hawg I have made birdhouses using the same design and yes soaking vines does help keep them from breaking as easily .

[@boonejones7373]

If you build this large enough, it can be used to catch whales.

[@RD37760]

it won't work on whales...it's a fish trap--whales are mammals

[@gambinegambini3081]

Aqui no Brasil pescamos com uma armadilha dessa, só pega peixe de couro tipo bagre, essa tua armadilha com peixe vai ficar muito pesada e não se consegue tirar de dentro da água...mas seu vídeo é bom.

[@jessedaniel6850]

Could You Make A Shelter Like That

[@sigma3survivalschool]

just bundle sticks together if you don't have bamboo

[@rvlqcitizen]

In many areas fishing w/o a licence is illegal unless it's not only primitive,but usually things like can-n-line.Many places you'd get in trouble if ya got caught using a trap,unless it's for crabs (which in both ME and FL you can have 5. If you're not surviving for kicks though, I'd say that's where the OTHER skills you're school teaches eh?I'm in FL and would LOVE to do some SERE type survival training. Perhaps minus the R part,as if you get caught by the cops in the first place,R is yer end:)

[@curtisdrew62]

Nice

[@bigsoleairbrus7034]

like your video but do you have video of it working, any catches?

[@jimmieblue6262]

The north Vietnamese would have several types of traps to catch fish. They are very creative to build traps from almost nothing.

[@biggusballuz5405]

Wild Humans appeared.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

What if you dont just happen to find bamboo in the eastern woods? Pine roots are very flexible and would probably work.

[@survivalbushcraftandemerge1488]

Cool

[@kylliandolmen2881]

Hello,What wood is used to achieve this? Thanks

[@AnishinaabePride]

whats another wood you could use for the frame? there isnt any bambo in mn.

[@AALMONDJ0Y]

AnishinaabePride maybe like a thicker willow switch would be your best bet. If you could find some straighter cottonwood or pine it would work as well.

[@TheFishLover1]

bamboo? were you at right now ? asia?

[@103959770979]

Where you place the bite?

[@jimbash6384]

well now I find this interesting. All these people watching, then mouthing off about materials used on your video, but not a one of then have a clue as to what using their imagination is. As for bamboo and vine GRANTED I have not been to Alaska but I have yet to see areas here that do not have vines of some sort. I have also found quite a bit of bamboo in OKLAHOMA in the wild. Granted it is an invasive species of plant and has managed to move itself into wild areas but it is there.

[@johnsonwendy321]

Where did you buy that shirt. Did it come with ripped sleeves or?

[@OCsurvivalTV]

Do you live in fort smith, ar?? If so, we need to meet up!!

[@Murphysince1990]

Anyone know how long this sort of trap will last? i assume it will rot and fall apart, i just wonder how quickly.

[@josh55611]

Now that's a fish trap

[@sigma3survivalschool]

a lashing of 7 straight sticks will do the exact same thing.

[@gaurdians1]

Well thats pretty cool. too bad bamboo doesn't grow anywhere near me.

[@Stady999]

true.. true...

[@regressmenot]

I was really hoping to see that thing in action. :-(

[@098317]

Does bamboo occur naturally in the USA? Perhaps y0u went to Walmark?

[@texheel]

all over southeast texas for sure

[@daniellehaskins6155]

all over georgia too

[@allenjames8713]

all over tennessee

[@neilshannon9930]

or China....

[@Zeno.of.Citium]

I made a super small one out of this type of grass

[@brutalbrital]

great video but you have to have an odd number of spokes right...thats an odd number of spokes or did you say use an odd number of spokes

[@11304800]

Great rap--but I don't see the necessity of using such thick vines. It seems like it would much faster and easier to use thinner material.

[@jordangolden2181]

Were are u supposed to find bamboo and all of those matirals

[@kevinroman5388]

Bamboo is more abundant in North America than you think I live in Oklahoma and see it everywhere

[@Cellus002]

GEEZ!!! That's a hellova trap

[@Orficedestroyer]

where in the eff do you find wild bamboo in America? do they have it in the south? i live and hunt in idaho and it doesnt exist here.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Orficedestroyer you wouldn't have any in Idaho. but its all over the south. YOu can use sticks tied at the bottom just as easy. you don't need split bamboo. and roots will replace the vines. you have lots of pine up there and the roots of pine is easy to get. you can use this tactic in your area.

[@htncul3047]

Try walmart eh? I know, or try and get lost in asia.haha, and everywhere i go i find a metal chair, theyare freakin everywhere!

Orficedestroyer Canebrakes are all over the South in wet areas, but the cane is smaller than the bamboo of asia.

[@makesomewaves]

¿cómo sé si funciona? deberían mostrar ejemplos para ver los resultados.

[@evilgerbal13]

you should probably promote knife safety when doing any survival situation that would involve the use of a knife. always cut away, never cut towards yourself. i saw you cutting that skinny limb off but you quickly changed direction. i do not know if you knew that and corrected yourself or maybe it was blind luck that you switched direction.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

this is a different more effective version

[@jaquezmeov6172]

shoot another video with this same idea using only bamboo!

[@warlord3618]

Only lacked put in the water to know if it really works.

[@jessgarib1631]

Am I the only one who thinks he sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy??

[@__-pl3jg]

11:28 - That's what she said..:-)

[@syahnizuki6219]

yeah bamboo easy way to use with

[@garrettdrebole8244]

Im pretty sure Sigma3 isnt trying to teach basic common sense knife safety. He is a true outdoors that likely uses a knife like an extension of himself. They have been nice enough to share an amazing survival tool. Listen with maturity, respect, and learn something. Then go watch a video on knife safety if you dont already know. To Sigma3, Thank you. I have never seen this done and plan on attempting this on my 10 day camping trip coming up in the Ozarks. Lots of vines here. :-)

[@fightinbabypenguins]

It looks like if you made it big enough you could actually use it as a hut

[@toadjam12000]

how much does that weigh

[@georgedanh8111]

a lot.. all that vine he used and it gets larger as it goes up about 3-4 feet.. its pretty heavy.. not something you want to carry everywhere..

[@timkropf4648]

Bamboo? Shall I plant the tree and wait for it to grow? No such thing in most of the U.S. So, I guess the next best thing is to lash together a bundle of willows to create your split bamboo starting point... About the "8 minute" mark you said this". :-)

[@shawndean8358]

An old Arkansas hillbilly I've known all my life showed me a version of this that his family used for hard times , put a little stinky cheese in that bad boy and it will scare you as to how many fish you can catch in one .

[@brianwbid]

step one .....fly to Asia to get a piece of bamboo

[@spaceracer23]

uh Professor, you are aware that bamboo is native to India, Africa, and both South and North America as well as Asia....right? Chances are he got that piece off his own property in Arkansas.

[@TheSoCalSurfer69]

omg. I coulda walked to Costco and got a hotdog/soda for a $1.49 by the time it took to make that basket.

[@frederikbrok961]

......what about showing how it works

[@austinmayes5890]

Can anyone explain to me how the fish doesnt just swim out the hole

[@glidershower]

Simple: to them, the hole magically disappears once they are in. And even if a few smart ones try to swim out, thanks to the inverted barbs which allows them to get in easily but hurts them if they try to get out, they desist. Check out how an Indian fish trap works. It's the same concept.

[@donrussell8889]

if you want to know what REALLY works, for hunting or fishing for survival, get your state's fish and game laws/regs and do what they make illegal. It's almost always illegal cause it WORKS, really well. Like silencers, jacklighting, fish poison, baiting, etc.

[@johnberholtz]

soak your vines they will be a little more flexable.

[@mikesaint48]

Ill have to agree... Where the hell you gonna find bamboo ? Use what youll actually find...... in the wilderness...

[@nursedee2996]

Bamboo plants can be bought at stores and they are hardy to withstand weather climates in our states. They also sell cut bamboo pieces in stores. This is an excellent video!!

[@mikesaint48]

Ok... this I understand... but in a survival situation.... Dont think your gonna be running to the nearing walmart...

[@DoubleMelonDragon]

Stoney Lonsome i dont even have vines here so im kinda fucked

[@DONKIEKIZZLE]

You have to get creative. Use 5-7 saplings instead of bamboo. I bet you could use smaller saplings instead of vines.

[@cevdetsertas6608]

ırmagının akısına ölürüm TÜRKİYEM!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamhansen9456]

You don't need an uneven number of spokes.. You can just weave it like this guy does: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5Oklpd9iLqWqNE Also more fish will enter if more light does. so if you makes the weave less dense you will catch more fish as long as the fish can't get through. Maybe you're trying to catch itty bitty fish that can get through a 1 inch hole, but if you're not you shouldn't weave it that dense.. Just my two cents

[@sigma3survivalschool]

I don't disagree with that assessment. But you need the right kind of material to do those looser weaves. And I don't think it could be accomplished with what we have around. Unless it was done much smaller with willow branches.

[@anarchyghost704]

Didnt yall just put out a similar video?
