Survival traps series - 5 - Fish traps

This is part 5 and the last on of the survival traps series, and introduce you to some ways of cathing fish with minimal effort or gear.
These traps in this series are not ment to be used in regular trapping. Trapping fish though are rearly regulated. Check your local regulations.
Enjoy!

[@scoutingfreegermany]

Great series buddy. Just one thing about fishing traps in general. Many people forget to make a good research on where the fish like to stay. Like looking for cover under or behind some rocks. Backfloating water is a great place to set-up a trap. In rivers that are moving faster, it's a good idea, to put some weight at the fishing line, to keep the bait at the ground, especially if one uses a worm. If possible always set-up multiple traps with different kind of bait. Just my 2 cents :-) Cheers, Marc

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Scouting Free Very true Marc. As said in the other trap videos, you have to know your prey to be successful. Thanks for Watching Odd

[@invictus3598]

Excellent examples of passive fish traps! Thank you!

[@epicgalaxydrif1897]

Thanks for taking your time to make this video and share your story. Not many people out there even with a lot of money are able to live the life like yours...cherish it and live it to the fullest.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Anhtuan Trinh Thank you, I am not a man with a lot of money, but I have a lot of nature around me here in Norway -Odd

[@MaZEEZaM]

I enjoy the bushcraft videos when I learn something new and in this case genuinely learned from your video. So Thanks from Australia 🐮

[@happyhome2523]

I loved your chewing gum fish story! haha :D

[@DocLarsen44]

I must say that I had not seen the sapling & trigger system before. I think that is a great survival system for fish. There is no reason that someone who has even the possibility of being in a survival situation should not have some line and a few hooks. This would be a very basic must have and since it is small and very light, again, there is no excuse for not having it with you. I have enjoyed this whole trap series. Thanks, Odd.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

DocLarsen44 Thank you Mr. Larsen. I do agree with you, I think that anyone hiking in a area were there can be fish, should at least have a hook and a line rolled up on a old wine kork or a stick. I do.Thank you very much for following this series. Atb, Odd

[@drsbrettsavage]

Thanks for going slow enough so I can see and think through these skills.

[@johnwmacdonald994]

Thanks Odd. Another nice one, and you've inspired me to get my fishing gear together.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

John W MacDonald :) I`ll pat myself on the shoulder. Go out and get some fish!Atb, Odd

[@Vuhlositee]

Fantastic video, It has been great watching you build and set the traps. I do not get nearly as much out of a book. Thanks for taking the time to create this trap series. Be safe, have fun, and live well.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Vuhlositee Thank you, as said in the videos, to practice your self is the best and almost only way to learn it.Thank you for watching Atb, Odd

[@henrywilson5204]

Odd, I enjoyed this video. It took me back a good number of years. Fishing is my favorite sport and I have caught fish on some of the most unlikely rigs, too. I've even caught ‘em using golf balls (salt water fishing). One thing I learned to do many years ago is always snot-the-line (moisten with your saliva) before you draw a knot tight. Monofilament fishing line heats up when tied dry and loses strength. Just an old trick to pass on, it works. Thanks. Henry

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Henry Wilson I do the same thing with the knots, I may have cut that away during editing, I have to check. ;)Golf balls? Thats new to me... Atb, Odd

[@henrywilson5204]

Odd, Yes, golf balls. What you will need is: One golf ball, chartreuse or bright yellow, these colors works best, About 12” to 18” 300 lbs test mono, the heavy test line helps with abrasion, Two glass or plastic beads, any color except red, I use dark blue, Two saltwater barrel swivels, Two saltwater double crimps for 300 lbs test, Crimping tool. Take a golf ball, drill a hole through it large enough to insert the 300 lbs test line loosely, you want this line to slide loosely through the hole. Once the rig is finished you want about 1.5” to 2” (about 50mm) spacing on both sides of the golf ball and the swivels. Don't make this gap too long or too short. Too long or too short and you'll lose the popping sound. At first it’s a trial and error thing. Insert the 300 lbs test line through the golf ball, insert a glass or plastic bead on each side of the golf ball. Next insert a double saltwater crimp one on each side, and then a barrel swivel on each side (saltwater). Form a double loop at each end of the mono threading it through the swivel loop and finally crimp the loop using a double crimp (burn the tag ends to a mushroom shape-be careful and don't burn the mono). When use a crimping tool being careful not to crush the mono. (I would send you a picture but I don't know how to do it on my computer-I know how to do it via email.) Attach one end of the golf-ball rig to your main line (minimum 20 lbs test, I've caught 50lbs Tuna on 20lbs test using this rig-what a blast) and the other end attach about 4’ to 6’ of 20 lbs test mono. At the end of this leader line attach a single very sharp (Norwegian hooks are the best) saltwater hook (silver in color) with small white real feathers, about three. White’s the best color, you can purchase them ready-made or make your own; I make my own (I hardly buy ready-made fishing stuff, it seldom measures up). Most of the already made ones insert a small red feather with the white, remove it. For some reason saltwater fish don’t like red mixed with white (a matter of opinion of course). The spacing between the golf ball and the swivel while pulled through the water yields a popping noise that attracts fish. It also creates a bubble stream indicative of fast swimming fish. They first hear the noise then see bubbles then the golf ball then the whitefly trailing behind thinking it’s a small white fish chasing a yellow fish. Bonito fish off the coast of California go nuts when using this rig. The rig can be used for casting or trolling (be careful casting it, watch out for the 6’ leader-you will need a long poll). The weight of the golf ball aids in casting and keeping the rig in the water while trolling (best speed is between 8 and 11 knots). It works great when trolling if you keep the golf ball on the face of the 3rd wake allowing it to pop in and out of the face of the wake (this works with most trolling rigs). Either casting or trolling I've caught a lot of fish on this rig. If casting you should move the rig through the water as fast as you can pausing occasionally (it creates the popping sound). You'll get the hang of it. I've never tried it in fresh water, but I suppose if someone would downsized it a bit it might work. I’m an old salt water fisherman. The only store bought stuff I buy are hooks and fishing line (we call it string). I hope this helps. Take care and good luck fishing. Henry

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thank you Henry for good explanation. I`ll send you a PM with my email. Would like to see a picture. Atb, Odd

[@henrywilson5204]

Okay

[@robinredbrest1000]

Where were the fish

[@blazez4fun]

got me a cod on that fish snare trap you had in this video. Made the setup on a small island where we was camping and went to bed. next morning we came to a tight line and a 3lbs cod. thanks for a great video :)

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+blazez4fun Cool, I have not set this trap in seawater myself, only rivers and lakes. Cods a trawling the shoreline during the night, even the days also, so that was a good idea and catch. Well done. -Odd

[@kimjacobsen8916]

What bait did you use to catch the cod?

[@Fran-pc9yv]

I used these on big cats in the river.with proper line and a stout engine for the trap it can hold 80 pound cats no problem.pretty sure our Cajun neighbors use this on gators too.so it's versatile and effective and requires little experience.I'll suggest ushering a similar trigger to a zero degree twitch snare for those super lite biters.it will adopt effortlessly to this set up and offers a hair trigger.just a friendly tip for all of us survives.keep doing what you do best guys.learn and evolve your skills and share what you know.we are in this together

[@quercus4730]

If you bend the sapling on down you can notch it and eliminate the carving of the trigger. Very good video and directions. Thank you.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

I know, but its easier on a drawing than in the wild to do so and get a sensitive trigger.

[@adirondeau]

Quercus, why notch and potentially kill the tree when you can carve the trigger from a fallen piece or just a limb?

[@quercus4730]

Because you notch a sapling or limb doesn't mean you have killed it. I agree with the amount of fishing equipment you need. I think most people buy gear according to advertisement. Thank you.

[@adirondeau]

You've otherwise hurt the tree which can kill it when there is a simpler solution. I'm not a tree hugger, trees are resources, but to do harm where none is needed is a waste. Have you ever see trees scared by skidders in the woods? They, more often than not, die due to infection or infestation.

[@karenchakey]

Hi Odd, thanks for the lesson, I just got a couple of Yo Yo's so I will be practicing with! Loved the primitive trap too, always good stuff to know!!!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

karenchakey You will enjoy those yo-yo`s, they are a very nice addition to any kit, and works very well. Thank you for watching Atb, Odd

[@boulangeriedesrosiers724]

Trap fishing. Just love the concept. Thanks from Quebec

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Daniel Des Rosiers Thank you for watching Odd

[@Next72Hours]

love the yoyo snares great idea and good way to conserve energy in a survival situation - thank for posting, beautiful area you live in there - Phil

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

***** Thank you Phil, appreciatedAtb, Odd

[@tbrew8222]

I love my "yo yo". so simple but very effective for fish and snares. Can unwind some string if more is needed, or to adjust the springs tension. I wish I could find more locally, I think mine was 2.99 when I got it years ago

[@Andysfishing]

Good video. I should do more survival videos. I have a few already and my fans really like them. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Andy's Fishing Thank you, I have been subscribing you for a long time, I love fishing and its interesting to see what others do. I`ll check your survival videos too. Atb, Odd

[@Andysfishing]

***** It's funny how you get taken for a ride on KZbin, if you let it... I haven't looked at any survival videos for ages.

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

First off, beautiful area!!! Love it... Second great series!! And great job on the setup on your trigger set!!! Freaking sweet, really enjoyed my friend!!!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Central Oregon Survival Network Thank you Todd, glad to hear. Yes it works fine, even a small fish can pull it off. Atb, Odd

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Sweet!!!! Thanks for sharing Odd atb Todd

[@BushcraftCooking]

I love to eat fish but I have no patience to fish, so I prefer the traps. It gives you time to do other things.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Bushcraft Cooking It sure does. Thats the benefit with traps.Atb, Odd

[@INDOMITUSBUSHCRAFTMCMLIX]

Hi Odd, nice video, this fish trap is new for me. I knew something like this for rabbits, never thought about it for fish. I like to fish, you know, so I like to be there and active on fishing process. Very imaginative. Tusen takk for det. Ha det fint vennen.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

rfuret I like to be fishing activly myself also, but sometimes I cross thru areas were I do not know if there are fish or not, then a rig like this is usefull to find out if there are something that are willing to take a bait in that pond or river. I let it stay for some hours and pick it up on my way back. Thanks for watching Odd

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Nice video again Odd. One of my favourite subjects...fishing. Looks to be a great technique. 'Tussen Takk Odd.

[@RM-io7qo]

Awesome and straightforward means to catch fish. Well done and take care...

[@edmonddantes1617]

hello there. I'm Jude from Philippines. I do enjoy watching your video although you were using and old ways of catching fish but I can't deny the fact that I learned more so much about you. how I wish I could fishing with you soon

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Edmond Dantes Thank you for watching. I `m sorry I cant show any catch in this video, I`m not sure its legal in this creek so I had to take the traps out again. You are welcome over for some fishing time, there are a lot of good places for fishing in Norway. Atb, Odd

[@Wadaryu1000]

Atb, Odd, thank you VERY much, I found it last night and placed an order. Very happy to see that distinctive pattern on the sheath again after all these years. Again, thank you for posting and all the best, liked and subscribed!

[@kullcraven]

Excellent job on the traps man, very nice to here your story and that you have used these mothods many times. I did alot of fishing in my life as well, tho not primitive much. Thanks for sharing.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Kullcraven Bushcraft Thanks Kull, I mostly do modern type fishing, but from time to time I try to set a trap just for the fun of it and for practice.Thank you for watching Atb, Odd

[@tiedemann8225]

Her var det noen gode tips. Enkle, og sikkert effektive. Takk for at du deler

[@MrTatts64]

Excellent video, thanks!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+MrTatts64 Thank you sir.

[@kxd2591]

Very good video. Thanks for taking the time to post. And that looks like a good parka you have on.

[@MZONE3D]

Awesome. Would be great to see the fish at the end of it. But your videos are really well made. Thanks for sharing

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thank you, glad you liked it. Cant show any catch in fresh waters, not legal over here. But I will do one in the ocean.

[@bencrowe7485]

Awesome video on fish traps! Subscribed!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Ben Crowe Thank you Ben, appreciated.

[@prepperonthefly7924]

great tips with the saplings and the trap. I will have to practice that this spring

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+prepper on the fly Thank you, Practice is everything! -Odd

[@ladybug4762]

I loved this one as well ☺️ Watching and listening. And yeah, I believe that you got a trick or to or five up your sleeves! Get those sleeves off! 😉

[@mikethomas5412]

Simple trap that I've never thought about...Thanks!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Mike Thomas I`m just glad to share. Thank you for watching Atb, Odd

[@charlietango186]

I have used the yoyo for catching rabbits but not for fish yet, you can also use the sapling for catching rabbit as well, the man below this comment (Russ) is a friend of mine who lives just down the road from me, very good video, look forwards to the others. atb Ray

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+CharlieTango 1 Thank you Ray, do you use a neck snare with the yoyo? -Odd

[@charlietango186]

You can use it on it's own with the clip, clipped onto the cord itself with a safety pin close to the clip to put the bait on if you wish, that way the rabbit (with a bit of luck) will be caught with the loop while it is eating, or you can fix a snare on it and just let it hang there in the rabbit run with the bottom of the loop about 2" off the ground. atb Ray

[@charlietango186]

Forgot to mention, if you use the yo yo cord on it's own the rabbit can chew through the cord in no time, it is better to use the wire snare with it.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

I understand, thank you.

[@charlietango186]

your welcome.

[@benjamincarter7569]

Great video. Thanks. Loved it

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Benjamin Carter Thank you very much! Atb, Odd

[@DonnyB]

nice video Odd, I have a couple of yoyo traps but haven't used them. Thank you for the demonstration

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Donny B They work great, have used mine for several years now. Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas -Odd

[@studio-logic]

very natural.. i love it.. thanks your video..

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+SungTae Cha Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed. IT was a shame that I didnt get a fish during the filming, I got one during the night after though. All the best, Odd

[@kingsclownvideos]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@standingbear998]

as a kid we could not buy fishing gear. I have caught small fish in the creek with thread on a small bent nail and a small safety pin. things we did have.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Another in teresting video. Good job. I may be doing something similar in our lake for Northern Pike this summer.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

***** For pike fishing? Sounds cool, how big do they get in you lake? in my local lake the biggest one caught with a rod was about 19 kg or about 42 lb. Normally you will get them in size from 1-10 lb. In the early summer you can go with kayak or canoe in the shallow grassy water and almost risk tipping over when they get spooked and kick off. Thanks for watching Lonnie, atb, Odd

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

***** The pike in our lake do not get real large since the lake is not very big. The biggest fish we have caught in our lake was 31 inches long or 78 Centimeters. We never weighed it so don't kno how much it weighed There are bigger pike that have been caught in nearby lakes. Now that we finally have a boat out at our cabin, we tried fishing from the boat but didn't catch any. I generally do much better fishing from shore there.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Pikes are often a good challenge. :) And they sometimes cut my line! Lol

[@electronpusher604]

Remember also, if you use circle hooks you don't need(and shouldn't use) any hook-setting device. Simply attach the line to a tree with some give, and it'll work great. They were invented for long lines.

[@laveras1]

Simple low-tech, but highly effective. Great thinking. Many thanks for posting! If you come to Barcelona one day, please let us know, NorwegianBushcraft.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+laveras1 Thanks, I will. Odd

[@Timbertrekkerbushcraft]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

TheBelfastBushcraft Glad too, and thank you for watching,Atb, Odd

[@greymouser469]

Great video and series, thanks. :-) I have not seen the use of a sapling that way, for fish; interesting. Thing is when you were explaining it, I thought people had better make sure they do not use too much tension, I just imagined a fish biting, then getting yanked into the air and flying across the forest! Sorry, don't mind me, I have a strange sense of humour... Be well, Dave.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Grey Mouser Hi Dave, you are in on soemthing, to much and the toggel will be harder to release and the risk of getting the fish on land is there. During a night, some animal will find it and eat it. In this creek there are some greyling from 1-2 lb. size. You need some tension to catapult them out of the water, and the length of the line I used will also prevent any flying fish. But you have good point. Thanks for wathing and commenting, Atb, Odd

[@greymouser469]

***** Perhaps you could work out just how much tension is required... ;-) ( You do realise I was joking, yes? ) All joking aside, it reminds me of teaching a friend how to fish. I guess we were about nine years old, I was a veteran fisherman of four years, he his first time. It was the really hot summer of 1976. He borrowed my old and spare rod and reel, the rod was all of five and a half feet long. I showed him that he needed to strike the fish firmly, but not too much, when he got a bite. In his excitement he yanked hard on the rod, and away over his head flew a small Perch of about six ounces! It made a mess of the fish as it sailed about 20 feet behind us. He didn't go fishing again... Be well, Dave.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Yes it know you were joking, but still its possible, and actually something to remember when setting up this. Cool story, I can see your buddy and his facial expression clearly in my mind ;)

[@huntfished2107]

Hoped to see a catch but thumbs up for the video! I also Use traps but they are more like rigs

[@Blycker]

Enjoyed the video, but I must admit to a sense of let down when you didn't show either trap catching fish!!! That's the whole point! We want to see the trap being used effectively.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Jonathan Blycker Thanks for watching, Atb, Odd

[@TheRunereaper]

Hello again Odd. Thanks for a really good and informative series. I always thought it was pointless to carry trapping gear in a survival kit because I'd rather be walking out of any difficulties than sitting around trying to catch food. That being said, there is no reason why we shouldn't fish / trap while we sleep and all your gear is very light and fast to set up. Lots of little gems for us wannabe survivalists, I live in SE England where about 20M people survive, so opportunities to test survival theories are rare. Where in Norway do you film all this? Thanks again Odd, Paul.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

TheRunereaper Hi Paul, As you say there is no reason for not carrying a string and hook or two if you know the posibility of beeing stuck out there are present. Bad weather, injury etc. For the last 15 years I`ve been living in the south east inland close to Norways biggest lake Mjøsa. Most of the filming are done close to this area. Some videos are done in mid west were I grew up. Were I live now, the population is heavy enough for me, were I grew up its better, about 3500 people on 650km2. A lot of dens forest, wildlife, islands, coastline and mountains almost 1000 meter above sea level. That kind of nature suits me better. Thanks for watching Odd

[@pauloakes4189]

Dude, I hope you are not planning to live on the fish you will catch in the stream behind you! It would take 20 miles of stream per person to survive off that creek. Suggestion for you - make or purchase a small net. A large grain bag will suffice. Rip it apart and attach each side to semi long poles to make a scoop. Use rocks or fallen timber to narrow down the stream to a narrow swift current. Set the scoop /net at the narrow point of the swift water. Jump in the upstream and make a lot of commotion or beat hell out of the water with a pole if you don't want to get wet. Fish that live in small streams will panic easily and will rush downstream straight into your trap/net. This will work. I know because I was raised so poor we had to learn how to survive very early. Your methods will work over a period of time. My way will give you instant access to anything that is in that creek including snakes, frogs, and salamanders. Good luck with your future, I learn from you, you can learn from me.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Paul Oakes I`m not sure its legal to fish in this creek. It is close by my house so it is easy to demonstrate. My 6 year old son fish in this creek in the spring. Greylings up to 2lb. Thanks for suggestion and for watching Odd

[@Barcodum]

Just had a thought. If need be, could you use your unstrung bow as a fishing pole?

[@intrepid5592]

I think a sabiki rig will do really well in that area...

[@danielscarbrough4363]

Looks like where I live in NW Arkansas USA! Nice!

[@dominicwinter6445]

great video and something I will try the next time we are out.may I ask who makes the jacket you are wearing in the video,looks good hard quality

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Dominic Winter The one I have is a brand not available any more, but its the same as the Ridgline Monsoon jacket. Thank you for watching Odd

[@davidthomas2126]

Thanks for sharing your traps, the stream looks really clean. What type of fish is in this stream?

[@mrshweets5191]

Well done and really enjoyed.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks

[@MaZEEZaM]

Thanks very much for showing this especially the natural trap. I'm also fan of using nylon fishing line as little as possible as it literally takes 600 years to break down, not exactly an environmental product. New sub based on this video from me 😛

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

MaZEEZaM Thank you very much for watching and subscribing, much appreciated. Atb, Odd

[@tiagogobbi3610]

ir's really this kind of trap it worth for you man?? Like exactly armed in 9:58?? Because if these worls I will begin try the exactly trap, even in my tropical country like Brazil, becase thiese kind of mini river it's comon some regions here, ok?? I thiink it's not even necessary all that trap machhanism in 10:35 but, I imagined that its for trying all kings of needed and works so, it's good stuff anyways I think lol! As you says like your grandparets use to do it!! Anyways, your vids are so cool and funny that I 'm just can thank you ok?? And, this quality of filming and LIFE STLYE it's so better in your channel, do you know?? So, Thank yoiu so much and bevause I was watching AGAIN in 2019, I'm will do like such people do, and just can send BIG HUGS from the futere my budy!! Well, sincerelatly hugs and good luck to all in life for you and your family!! :)) :))

[@riccisamurai]

thank you for your time

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+riccisamurai Thanks for watching Odd

[@snorristurluson9679]

great video and great story about your childhood!! I remember that we catched some fish just by hand or with some wire loops in small rivers.Never forgot that skills but you have to be very quick in reaction.I'm too old for that now ;) Btw.you weared a pretty nice jacket on this trip i'd never saw that. What Brand is it?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Snorri Sturluson Hi Snorri, Thank you for watching, the jacket is called Monsoon.. Its a membrane type, waterproof. But the memebrane is not that good so you get condensation very quickly if you move to much. But for normal easy-going tempo in cold wet weather its good. I can only find the same type in UK stores now, called: Ridgeline Monsoon Elite Smock, google it and you can find several vendors. I bought it from a sporting goods store called XXL, they doesnt have it any more I think. Atb, Odd

[@yeoldesalt4889]

15 minutes of more trapper than trap!

[@11304800]

+Ye Olde Salt Maybe he needs to SHUT HIS TRAP?? Bahhh

[@yeoldesalt4889]

+Johnny Wewoka if only a fish was actually caught... (facepalm) it'd make it less than a I-just-want-to-see-myself-on-youtube video.

[@11304800]

Ye Olde Salt Fish don't always bite when you want them to. Still---that trap does work--

[@justablackdude5423]

Awesome, awesome video. I know really late but what clothes are you wearing? I've been looking for something water proofish and rugged material.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Just a Black Dude Thanks, the jacket is not in production anymore, but its equal to the Ridgline Monsoon Jacket. The pants are Haglöfs rugged mountain pants. Thank you for watching -Odd

[@justablackdude5423]

+NorwegianBushcraft Thanks for the reply man.

[@neutronjohnson5614]

Wow Great traps! ill remember these.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks

[@cr0cket01]

nice vid and shows bit of safety around 840 mark as it fly up and nearly hit you. If that was another type of trap that could have been bad

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

cr0cket01 It looks close yes, but it was not that bad, did not have the head in the way. I was more concerned about getting the hook into my hand!Thanks ofr watching Odd

[@cr0cket01]

Yes as I said shows why safety important you done. That style trap many times yet you still nearly had accident.

[@zyriab5797]

That trigger trap was awesome. I subbed ! :)

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks, yes that works well, both for fishtraps like this and many other traps.

[@wyomingslabjacking4190]

Very well put!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

[@manuelf2984]

Did your traps catch fish? Would be great if you showed that it did!

[@Scoutforlife]

Enjoyed your Vid very much. Bent nail and gum!!? Norway must be the last place where the fishing is that good : ). Im working on a similar vid for Tropical regions which is how i came across you. Ive subbed! thanks for sharing.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Scoutforlife Fish is pretty easy to catch, even with gum! Looking forward to see your video, subbed you back.

[@edawolf3000]

Great video, thank you. What brand is the pants and jacket your wearing?

[@Wadaryu1000]

Hi good video thanks for posting. I have to ask about the neck knife you have there! I recognized this by one that I lost about 20 years ago-my father had given it to me and I was very upset that it was gone without trace. Could you please tell me the manufacturer of the one you have there? I would highly appreciate that.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Jonathan Lloyd Hi Jonathan, it is a shame you lost yours, its the Helle Nying, this I have had for almost 30 years, they still make the same one. www.helle.no/products/knives/nying/ Atb, Odd

[@flamedrag18]

Man does your area look similar to mine here in Cape Breton, NS, Canada, the trees, the water, everything. as for what you carry, you can get some very inexpensive scented plastic worms on ebay from china, to carry around with you, saves you some time and effort in a dire situation and they weigh near nothing, pop some in a mini baggy and put it in your kit. also, where did you find such a convenient little container?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+SirLobsterman Hi, I have tried the artificial worms with no luck so far. I might use wrong types. Canada and Norway is not that different in nature I belive. The container is an old snus container. -Odd

[@georgerosado5194]

nice video demostration. I wish the audio was abit louder but thank-you so much for the good tips.were thoes (fj-raven)pants you had on? pretty cool

So with the sapling fish snare does the fish remain in the water after being caught or is it pulled out onto the bank?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Tommy Colang Hi Tommy, I have experienced both. Some are still in the water, a small one I ones found in a tree(!), and some are partly hanging in the water. Depending one your sapling, size of fish and length of cordage used. Just a few times I have experienced the trap triggered without a fish attached. Works well, but if the fish are too small it can be hard to set the trap with a sensitive enough trigger. I have also found the trap not released with a fish on. Thank you for watching -Odd

[@jorgreiling2755]

Nice. I like that video. What are the best YoYo's to buy and how are they?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

+Jorg Reiling Thanks. I only know about one type, and they work well. I have used the same one for several years now, also under water, and it still doesnt show any signs of wear. www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Fishers-Fishing-Package-TRIGGER/dp/B015ZP72ZA Odd

[@jorgreiling2755]

Awesome. Thank you. Do you go for fishing also with rod & reel?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Yes, thats what I normally use. Sometimes I put a jojo in and leave it while fishing with a rod. I normally go for spinners and lures hunting for trout.

[@Reachandrescue]

Great Video!

As a small kid I used to catch 'stingsild' with a bit of rope and a worm, no hook needed. Mini fish over a mini fire, ate a lot of them. I favored trout though, and that was caught either by tickling (which was very hard to do) or using a blinker. I did not like fly fishing.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Interesting.. -Odd

[@edwardgardener746]

Hey, I live in norway and have two leaks nearby. I just moved here and are looking for a way to fish that is effective and not so time consuming (since I run a farm also but want to have fish on the side for food). But I want to live more from the foods from nature and not so much the supermarket. I'm wondering about the fish traps you made and how effective they are and how much you need to feed 2 people per week, lets say you don't eat meat from the store? You just eat fish. And what is a ethical way to kill the fish after you catch them? Do you cut of the head or knock out with a stone? How often do you check the traps and what type of bait do you put in? What are your principles concerning Norwegian lake fishing? My neighbours said the lakes are free to fish there. They say I'm to skinny haha.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Good questions. As with all other fishing, you never know when they pass and how many of them. It also depends on species, time of the year and differnet habitats. This traps shown in this video will be forbidden to use in most lakes and rivers. Some places you can set the fish traps made as a basket(ruse), you have to check the local regulations. The other ones with lines are mostly forbidden. A none attended line with hook and bait are usually not alloved in fresh waters. In the ocean its ok, and widly used. The SNO (game and wilderness authorities in Norway) do not look lightly on illegal hunting and fishing. I follow the rules, cause it is more than enough places to fish and plenty of fish to catch, but in life or death situations, anyone are allowed to use what ever needed to survive. For bait in the basket type traps you can use a small mesh bag with bread, meat or fish. Depending on what you are trying to catch. In the ocean I often use crushed muzzles, snails or liver from other fish as bait. Works fine. For line and hook traps, worms, larvees and even small pieces of meat works great for most fish. For your needs, I would suggest you set some nets if it is allowed. A couple of nets of 25 meters will do good if there are enough fish there. I would not suggest a fish-only diet though. Check with your neighbours. You will need a boat too. This is the most effective way, and commonly used all over the country, both in fresh water and salt water. I kill the fish by either strike it at a hard surface, smaller fish I just break the neck all the way back, bigger fish I cut blood vanes and nerves around the spine, and /or press my knife thru their head/brain. They die quickly that way. This video was made for survival training purposes. And as you can see, I did not show any catch. I hope this answer most of your questions. Atb. Odd

Who is the manufacturer of the rain wear you're wearing?

[@rusumberbarr9208]

what brand is ur jacket and trousers? are they water proof?, new to ur channel...

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Rus Umberger Hi Rus, The pants are the first generation from Haglöfs, called Rugged Mountain Pants, very good quality. Relativly windproof, not waterproof but dries up quickly. Very strong fabric. Now you get the generation II, I think they come in mono colors only. The jacket is a Fjällreven Singi shell jacket, made of cotton mix. Windproof, breathable, not waterproof, but can be quite water rejectable with som wax. This one is with the "tobaco" colors. The pants and jacket are not 100% waterproof or has any membrane like goretex. I prefere breatable clothes when walking and other activities with lots of movment. I do have some membrane clothes, but doenst use them to much, in rainy conditions I wear suitable clothes for that. Thank you for your interest, Atb, Odd

[@adelarsen9776]

I was fly fishing on Orkla i Rennebu for salmon. I came home with a 6kg Salmon. My best survival tool is my Master Card.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

I wanted to see the fish too! But when i go out fishing almost always see Fish and Game officers and tickets suck!

[@taitjones6310]

You don't need a fishing license in Norway. Because they got their shit together. America is retarded
