That’s a cool trip system. I need to practice my sewing. Had a grandfather and uncle that shrimped and made nets . They taught my father quite a bit. I have a buddy that’s a squirrel hunting nut , he’ll love this . Have a great evening

I really appreciate you taking the time to tune in and comment my friend! I hope you friend likes this one as well. Take care John.

Ok, I REALLY like this net snare much better than just a loop type they use . What I like even better is your platform style and your trigger is so much better than the L7 type of trigger that they often use for a fishing snare. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to give this one a go especially since I learned how to make my own fishing net.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

That's a cool trap and liked the net tutorial. Maybe you could wedge a stick under that bottom bar while you're setting up the trap. That would keep you from triggering it during setup and then remove at the end.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

That may actually be worth trying. Nice idea. I appreciate your time and interest my friend.

[@robertogomez3698]

Great video Matt. "I love it when a plan comes together". This was a great follow-up to your Net Making video. I admire your humility about your limitations (net making), but also your willingness to develop them into a strength. Thank You, have a safe weekend, and Rich Blessings. From South Texas

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Thank you so much Roberto! I really appreciate your kind words my friend! Blessings to you and yours!

[@craigscreek1]

Great lessons on this and the last video. I've never tried making a net, and not sure I'll have the patience for doing it. But going to give it a shot, it's a definite good skill to at least have a working knowledge of. Thanks!!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Absolutely Bill! It frustrated me quite a bit but a little quiet time alone and I finally got it. I hope you will get around to trying it as well. Good luck my friend and thank you for tuning in and sharing a kind word!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

THANK YOU so much for your time and interest! I didn't discuss BAITING the trap in this video as I did in the previous platform trap video as baiting is inferred. You could use seeds, granola, insects, berries, little pieces of bread, etc. The toggle is a great place to position your bait or just spread it on the platform. I appreciate your support.

Excellent job Matt. We never stop learning and watching you do these makes us have confidence as well. Keeping it simple really helps. Thank you for sharing.

[@jamesreed6558]

Never done any trapping. Watching your videos I might give it a try.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

I really enjoy tinkering with these traps. I feel like there is a lot of good bushcraft lessons learned in the process making micro adjustments with notches, leverage, etc. Thanks for tuning in James!

Could always do the deadfall treadle snare if a spring pole isn't available. Great video!

That's awesome 👌, I'm getting ready to start making the net, I'm sure it's going to take alot of practice. Well That's ok I've got all week end bad weather has us inside.

I'd really love to see that catch something, I appreciate all the work just want to see it in action!! Ewok approved!!😁✌💚

Thank you so much for tuning in! I couldn't help but think of that scene in Return of the Jedi when they all get swiped up in that Ewok net lol! Thank you again and take care!

[@jeffreywebb7932]

Thats cool🙂👍

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Thank you so much Jeff!

[@DWerner7822]

Great video, per usual, and very detailed. You certainly know your craft. The trap seems to work great for 100' of #36, but what changes would you recommend if you were looking for bigger game? Let's say 1 pound of #36?

[@blackhatbushcraft]

LOL, I'd up that net just a little 😂Maybe kevlar thread would be a good investment too? You know, I wish I could catch 1lb rolls of bank line out there, I'd have traps all over my woods! It would save me some money along the way!

[@randybeeson3424]

Daves net technique is difficult. I do it different and the end result is the same. I couldnt follow him on his either. Great video.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Thank you so much Randy. I really appreciate you tuning and sharing a kind word.

[@DWerner7822]

One question regarding your net making video. I found the needles on SRO, but according to the description, it is just the needle. I thought you had said it includes the gauge block.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

I actually got the gauges from Amazon. They were fairly cheap. If you check my amazon link, select the hunting, trapping & fishing tab and you will see the gauges and some other needles I have used. They work well.

[@DWerner7822]

@@blackhatbushcraft Gracias Amigo. 😃

[@nick92028]

Is this in a book so I can reference in the field and dont have access to KZbin?

[@ronthomas7892]

Where do you buy your net making supplies ?

[@blackhatbushcraft]

The needle and cordage came from SRO and the gauges from Amazon. If you check my Amazon like in the description box, click the Hunting, Trapping & Fishing tab and you will see needles and gauges there also. Thank you for your interest!

[@splishsplash2579]

Any bird with half a brain when it flys in is going to first land on your spring pole and the whole thing will collapse

[@blackhatbushcraft]

That is a possibility but it doesn't necessarily go off from a bird landing. The bird will not always land on the pole first either. I have experimented with it enough to know that it will work. No improvised trap is 100% though for sure.

[@GarryNichols]

Winged creatures (birds) are so light anyway, So don't see how this could actually catch a real bird. My roll of bankline weighs alot more than any bird other than a turkey.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

This is a hair trigger when set right. If a bird of any size lands, it can catch them. It isn't 100% success ratio but no primitive style or improvised trap will be. It is a fun one to play with and an adaptable trigger to use with other devices such as snares. Thanks for taking the time to tune in.

[@stevestumpy6873]

can you catch some bacon?

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Probably not with the net but there other good option :) Bacon is mandatory!
