1:28 another tip , that we use up in N.canada..is we heat up the wire , by a camp fire...and burn the hole through. If you get a few wires heating at the same time...you can get that hole , burnt out in no time. cheers

Very good. Today we'd use a wire snare to prevent chew out, but in primitive situations where only natural cordage is available, the pipe prevents chew out.

You could probably tie a bunch of sticks together in a round, so they form the tube for the string to go through, if you are struggling to find a wood that isn’t pithy in the centre or easy to core out, Very clever stuff and easy to carry and place where needed than fiddling around with triggers and stuff

My guess would be the stick was to stop the animal from chewing the cordage of course that is my guess . thank you for sharing this .i enjoyed watching it .👍

Sounds lovely, interesting and very clever Great job on this demo ,thanks mate

Just a quick observation... it seems like the rear vertical stick could be used to secure the open end of the string. It also seems like waxing the string would make it glide smoother, making it more "instant". Thanks for sharing this unique snare.

Not seen this one before mate! Different and interesting! Thanks for sharing brother 👍🏽👍🏽Best wishes

Great job Malc! I was looking for that book years ago, and forgot all about it. I'm interested.to see what else comes of it. Finally, someone with some fresh traps! 😁

Brilliant little trap mate, the skill is in identifying a Hare run. Cheers

I think you're right it was used to prevent chew out and hold the animal still. I've seen the inuit use a similar bone pipe snare for ground squirrels.

🌲🌲🦅thank you for sharing your video the wooden tube guard snare set you have is very close to the bird bone tube guard snare set used by ancient peoples in Alaska and BC and probably elsewhere (the bone tube was a snare guard ) your video was great 🌲🌲🌲

Elder, thank you. I have been racking my head trying to remember that wood, because of how easy it is to pull out the pith. We made whistles out of them in the scouts.

Everyone in the comments wanting to over complicate a perfectly good simple trap. Nice video 👍

New trap to me bro. Thanks. Keep up the great videos. Excellent old English country field stuff. Love it.

Genial muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, fuerte abrazo!

That's a very interesting trap it looks the snare that animal protection agency use to catch stray animals.

You did a great job. Thanks.

Question what keeps it from losening off if the animal quits fighting it and paws or just chews the stick and loosens it?

Badass brother. I like seeing people reference old literature and show stuff like this. I subbed and will be watching for your vids. Keep going man!

Pure skills the lad👍

very good. I think I might make a couple in wood and a couple with pvc and see how they work out.

Taking notes from Greene county North Carolina , useful information.

Never seen that one before very interesting Malc 👍👏🇬🇧

Thread some cordage through the elder (after the pith is removed) then add some fine sand to one end and work the cordage back and forth dragging the sand through the middle (works like sandpaper) to polish the inside of the elder.

Great video malc keep them coming

Several times a day I work on getting the pith out, Mate!

Will be interesting to see if it makes the animal not struggle as much when first caught,twine has a habit of snapping if frayed etc,the points cause pain,stops struggling until you arrive and quickly dispatch. Unless its like a fox snare type of non-release snare and forces unconsciousness. Would like to get that book,thanks for showing it to us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Interesting. A type of snare, I suppose. Thanks for showing.

nice and simple... what kind of animals you can trap with that? i mean what kind of foot will trap on the rope and it will not just slide in and out.

Brilliant design, really...probably more effective, than just a string, at dispatching the Prey.

i think this one was used to keep the rabits alive they would stop chewing the cordage or attempting to so they could take them with them to dispatch later while traveling and i also think this was used to keep them alive so they could keep live stock of rabits much easier then hunting al the time you know what rabits do if there is a couple 😉 nice to see some old trap keep up the good work 💪👍👍

When you were carving the spikes I thought, that looks a bit like a bird whistle. I think whistles were made from reed, but I suppose elder would work too.

Dinosaur Colorado USA saying hello and thank you for sharing

Looks a good trap. I used he bender snare which works well. If you had a drop weight that fell it would yank the cord tighter.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Gracias por compartir!!

Hare pipe looks like variation of the 1600s British Wick (or vice versa). Small copper tube diameter, and then insert jute/cotton waxed wick. Pull out wick and light for a small lighted candle. Pull wick back in for snuffing out. I make these with dreadlock of a cotton swabbie mop, perfect size for 3/8" pipe. Would suggest that you make a two-strand stake lines. Stake line with the loop and tag end knot (in one direction). Then have another stake and tag end knot through the tubing (in other direction). No matter where the hare pulls AWAY from original stake, loop tightens up. Hare tries to pull TOWARD original stake, other strand makes pipe tighten up. Using small copper tubing, then use metal file and rasp out the tubing gigging points. The loop chokes out the hare, choking off the carotid blood (and air) supply and the rabbit goes to sleep and dies from anoxia to the brain. Otherwise, the metal (or wood) gig tips would dig into the hare's throat (and carotid artery) all the time that it struggles in the trap ... literally stabbing and bleeding them out.

Interesting trap. I'm guessing that the more the points dug into the animal the more it would pull - catch 22 - and the faster the animal would pass out.

Growing up on a farm and working and living with animals also being a active seasoned trapper I believe the spikes actually were to possibly keep the animals for choaking themselves out because the spikes would induce pain making it relax tension. However it would keep tension trying to escape but not strangle itself to death or exhaust itself

Great trap! Thanks man.

Woow. ..Thanks for video. ..

Nice to be able to have a willow tree around. In the California desert , we aren't so lucky .

Круто👍

Fun video. Thanks for sharing.

what tool do you use to drill the wood??

How common is trapping where you live? On the east coast of the southern U.S it has become a lost art. Further north it may be more common.

We use a small of bamboo here in the states

Great video keep them coming

I believe the reason for the stick was to keep the animal from crewing through the cord , allowing you to use smaller cord or string .

Looks like it will work 😎

Nice one brother

do its legal to set snares in U.K. or is a season to set them I know itrs in winter but do you need a license ?

Interesting my man.

looks great,its a interesting point

Tape 2 sharp nails to the end of the stick.to make sharp points.put your wire in a drill to drill out pith.

nice, and they cant chew the rope either, i like it

Where did you find that book I cant find it anywhere??

We used to make when we were bairns likr,, we used copper pipe, if u hit the sharpend copper with a hammer a couple of times it stiffens up enough to do the damage and we used pike traces for ligature. Never killed em but jammed em right up. Was rabbits we were after though. Worked every single time. Dont think we missed one. We dangled ours though as opposed to crossways

Similar to a snake rope holding or bad animal holding trap! By the way, nice tattoo's!

I could see using it for rabbits maybe coyotes, hang it vertically, head high over a trail they run, I'd use some sort of cable or wire.i could see in a survival situation with heavy enough wire and a good anchor a guy could share a deer.

New sub right here cracking video

At first I thought it was the hare pipe you make to call hares,,but going to watch anyways as all aspects of hunting trapping etc are my thing. 👍 Would you be better using elder .?

how do you get your scent from it. Must smoke it.

I love you knife, where did you get it ? Or did you make it?

If you heat the wire to red-hot in colour, not white-hot, it will burn it out the pith much easier with smooth tunnel sides. Cheers.

Thanks!

What type of wood do you use? Alder or Elder?

"Just by pushing the pith out of it."

Nice Buddy

Would this trap work on squirrels?

That trap would be a lot easier made if you used bamboo

Хрена себе, брат, ты синий, прям как я. Молодец!

I've trapped a few squirrels with just a simple snare and a piece of bait. This looks like a nice design though.

Great

Never seen this before here in North Borneo..

First video I’ve seen from him not the face I expected with the voice

I wouldn't whittle the spiked end down all far, you want the spiked to also be strong to a degree, he better to shave it like flat edging a pencil by only shaving 2 sides to form a wedge tapering to the middle then shave the sides down to get the desired finer point

Steady friend

Confirm the hare will trapped please tell

Dangerous as hell cutting toward your hand like that.

Definitely increases efficiency and keeps the animals from chewing out of the snare

The main idea behind this trap is to not only strangle the prey but also tines create a wound that will not close as the animal struggles.

استاد خیلی خوب بود،فقط اون آخر کلیب که گذاشتن تله بود، زود تمام میشه، بازهم تشکر داره.

👍👍

Kannur in Kerala😍😍😍💯👍

Heat the wire and it burns right through along the grain.

I Wonder what the knuckles on the left hand used to say

(RUS)Сразу видно опытного сидельца - все руки в наколках :-) "Восемь ходок - семь побегов: погоняло "мотороллер" ;-D Потому и в ловушках разбирается - кабана,видимо, не всегда удавалось с собой прихватить ;-D (шутка, но в каждой шутке всегда есть доля шутки).

6:20 yep! 😁

I think if the points were barbed like straightened out fishing hooks then it'd be fool proof

Scrapes the innards of the branch onto his leg, Ends up having an a Pithy knee...

Make two. If the snare fails, you have a pea shooter.

ок

iv seen this one b4 but i think now we have easy access to wire this trap is a bit pointless always thought it was a bit cruel aswell, they often strangle themselves without the spikes. maybe if it kills them quicker the hare would be less likel;y to be found by a fox or another human so you dont get them knicked

Well pith on it !!!

Смотрю на его руки в наколках как он апредиляет грязные руки или чистые ?

So cool drinking mescall and making a pipe for your hair. Just kidding very nice job thank you for sharing.

(RUS) какое дерево используете для трубки? я сначала подумал, что вы высверлили-прокололи отверстие в ней, но по переведённым комментариям понял, что просто выдавили сердцевину... Так можно сделать не со всякой древесиной. Есть русский вариант такой ловушки - там используют трубчатую птичью кость вместо дерева - мне кажется, что она дольше продержится против заячьих зубов ;-) но её ещё надо добыть :-)

😁👍🏾
