BIG NEWS: I have designed my own Survival Knife called “APO-1”. You can get it now at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/ Thank you so much for your support

We've always poked about ten holes in a can of cheap dog food and used that for bait. It gives off a very good scent trail, and I've pulled up traps that were so full I couldn't lift them. Btw: you might have better luck if you Face the opening down stream, fish follow the scent trail upstream.. Love the channel.

hi you are the best

Try cheese ... old cheese left out to spoil..... I bet you get a net full !!! Nice weir. Perhaps the "throat" was a bit small. But only you know the size of fish you're after..... as usual a superb video Lilly

111 fish dislliked vid, what an amazing fish trap youve weaved. I like the honesty at the end.

Good job Lilly. Fish traps, like snares are a hit&miss proposition and so you need a number of traps just as you need a number of snares to better the odds. The nice thing about Fish traps is they are easily set, reusable and you can build permanent traps into a lake, stream bed, river or shoreline.

Wow Lilly, that thing is awesome. You are an amazing survivalist.

Survival Lilly is the Macgyver of the outdoors survival.

That smile at the end. · ▾ ♥ ❤

Lemme just go harvest some bamboo on the block. Nope, gunfire. Popeye's it is.

I always enjoy your videos and love the enthusiasm you have for learning survival skills. Very impressive weaving that basket....it looked great!

Great job on the trap Lily! Looks perfect to me,... sometimes it just takes a long time in the perfect area.

I love how you show us the whole process----you are incredibly patient and persistent.

Amazing job Lilly. Looks so professionaly done.

It's just great to see you doing what all of our ancestors would have been doing, out in the natural environment. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Lilly! I'm surprised you didn't catch any crawfish in your trap. Great work as always. I wish you could do a collaboration video with Babs Kijewski. That would be such fun to watch you two together.

So happy you have recovered well from your hand injury. Welcome back to survival :D

I enjoy that you show how you may improve your traps, or adapt from set backs you have. Continue the great work!

How's the wrist doing?

Thank you for these videos! They will help me and my family if we go camping.

Lily, long time fan here first time comment. Glad to hear your wrist is healing. The Entrance opening needs to be just barely big enough for the largest fish you're planning to catch. in this specific case it looks like maybe a much smaller entrance. good luck can you pause posted .thank you

And using bark is a smart idea I've never thought of that good job survival Lilly

I with my brother wathch your films every weekend :) We are from Poland and you inspireate we to build next shelters. ;) My English is not good because I live in Poland.

I'm glad that you show that when it comes to survival things don't always work the way you want them to. Sometimes you just have to be patient.

What a fun project. I hope to go fishing with my daughters this summer, however this type of fish trap I think is illegal in my area of Colorado, USA. Thanks for posting.

Good to see you well and out with nature again.

today i learned that THERE IS A SEASON FOR CRAWFISH!! Who'd a-thunk it! Lily, you surprise me every time :)

That was one cool looking trap!!

You are an inspiration Lilly!

Lilly you are such a special gift to us all. thanks so much for everything you give us.

Remind me to keep a lily in my pocket when i get stuck in the bush 😆 awesome vid

Please do catch and cook videos! They're becoming more popular these days!

Lilly is a inspiration. Smart, calm, attractive, tough. Mom's show your daughters this channel.

Looks great Lilly. Fish fry an Lilly's tonight. Some one alert the beer gnomes.

You're right, that turned out pretty beautiful. I don't know if I would have dipped it in the water. :)

Is nice to know that there are places in the world where spring is actually spring and not winter :P Very nice vids on your channel!

once again another great video, thanks for the consistent content :)

Coole Technik(en)! Besten Dank und Frohe Ostern, Sepp

Another really cool video! Thanks Lilly!

Cool I've always wanted to know how to do that other than a wall the fish go over but can't get back out I'm sure this video will help

Great video Lilly!

It is the best such trap I have seen anyone make. Bravo! Good job.

my daughter is 4 and she and i both love watching ypur videos together. she likes that you do things like us

a beautiful trap in only hours! i'd take me five days......you rock Lilly......

I don't care if it catches anything, that trap is a true work of art!

I really appreciate your videos Lilly! They are so relaxing to watch, and with your video skills it feels like I am right there! If you feel like it, you could try using canned sardines as bait for crayfish when they come into season. Cheers!

Please do a follow up video if you catch fish using this method. It is a great method for those of us who don't like to sit around with a fishing pole in our hands, but like to catch fish. Around where I live, poke poling is the instant method, but needs two people. I actually don't think using a trap here would be legal but in a survival situation, anything goes. Good to see you back in action.

Nice job girl! I can't wait to try making my own!

we appreciate al lthe effort to weave that trap and if it dosen't work you can use the cap for a hat!

great vid!!

I think turning the entrance cone of the fish trap to face down stream will make it easier for the fish to enter. They will be following the scent trail in the water and will enter the entrance cone as they follow the scent trail. That is the method I have always used in the past. seemed to work then.

very beautiful trap.

Lilly, fish generally feed upstream.....turn that absolutely beautifully crafted trap so the entrance side is facing downstream and that beauty outta work like a champ!....you are the best sweetie, keep it up!

Love the videos keep them coming and is your wrist all better

I think you are awesome. Miss the nature and her sounds, so beautiful...

Thanks for sharing this honest video, the result of your fishery is the most likely to happen in a survival situation. This needs to be told to beginners, surviving in the wild is not easy, And that is a fact. :)

Best line ever : ,, I didn't catch any but I think it works. '' 👍

Beautiful job on the trap!

Great video Lilly trap looks great and good luck on catching some fish :)

wow， thx lilly , have a happy week !

Thank you for showing us how to make it I know from watching other videos that they have worked in the past.

Good stuff Lilly! Try Hellgrammite or Crayfish as bait.Not sure if you have Hellgrammite there but it is the best live bait I have ever used! Thanks for sharing,hope all is well!

wrong direction in the stream. try to reverse your trap

Hi, Lilly. I enjoy your videos very much. I subscribed to your channel a couple weeks ago. The other stick funnel fish traps that I have seen, which were successful, didn't make the trap so narrow at the bottom. . Some of the angler's had the basket end about 5 to six inches wide with an flat basket weave end cap permanently attached. Also, known of them used bait. The only baited traps I've seen were for crabbing and frogs. Something they didn't do was put the trap so close to rushing swirling water as you did. There traps were close enough to the bank or very near the bank also. They often caught small fish, minnows and worms to use as bait for larger fish. But the bait was visible, not hidden and just leaving a scent in the water. Seems to me that fish are attracted to shapes and flashes for than scent trails in the water. Maybe you can try foil shaped minnows or worms dangling in the trap. Also, if able to, cut the shapes out of your used food cans. Possibly make hook out of strips of used cans.. Just a thougt. I'm so sorry your traps didn't work out. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with your trap in future. God bless you. Have a great year ahead. Hugs, Linda Lee

Nice fish trap Lilly....a lot easier weaving that willow bark than vine. I enjoyed the video!

So relaxing to watch

I like your methodology!!! Good video!!!

Lilly; for some good bait...try using a small crawfish..claws removed. Works great! Also try taking a short piece of nylon stocking, put bait in center , tye the nylon above bait; roll material down over bait ; add string on and hang in the water....for catching crawfish! love your videos and comments;keep on truckin!

Lilly this is genius! Well done!

I am looking forward to you catching a fish in your trap in the future , enjoyed the video Lilly!

Hi Lilly , I have both knives and haven't noticed much difference...I do like the softer handles on the Cold Steel, for and average knife the SRK has held up nicely....Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and hope your hand is better

Lily you need to put some sort of barrier to guide the fish to the opening! you can use 3 sticks on each side stuck in the mud with several long sticks lashed to the sticks . You can use a couple of bigger rocks making the same thing ,something must funnel the fish to the opening! good job on making the trap though!

Awesome I love it!

Excellent workmanship, as always. That's such a beautiful location and sure would be a nice place to hide out if you had to, or even if you just wanted to get away for a while.

Very Cool!

Great job !

try a bagel.. they are tougher than bread and hold together better. catches fish too.

GREAT JOB; WELL DONE.

I love the look of that trap you made and you must have caught some fish later on using it.

"Fish first" - a useful survival doctrine. The fish net takes 5 hours to make then is a "passive" asset. That is it is working while you are off doing other things. For long term survival, or to broaden hiked in food, it looks quite handy.

Mal wieder ein geiles Video, mach weiter so ;)

top of the morning , Happy to see another one of your vids , great trap..

Great Job Lilly..Your wrist look like it's working perfectly as before.

Looks like a 1,000 year old eel trap. Loved it.

I think fishes usually swim opposite to the current. Try changing the direction. Nice video :)

Hey Lily from your Canadian fan. Keep trying, the trap looks great. Always look forward to your videos. You are an amazing person :)

Love d sincerity... Admitting dat u didn't catch any fish unlike many vloggers.... Good luck in d future

That's why it's called trapping and not fishing. I've caught lots of fish and crabs in traps just like that on the beaches of NE Brazil in my youth. If those crayfish were in season, probably some tainted meat would do the trick as bait. Thanks for the great video and it's good to see your arm healed well.

Lilly, I use a one-stroke method of cutting saplings, etc. I bend the sapling down toward the ground with my left hand as far as I can so that I am looking at the top of the "U" that is under tension. With my knife in my right hand I hold the knife parallel with the ground about a foot above the "U". Then I hit the "U" with the knife with a sharp blow. I pretend that I am driving the knife clean through the sapling. As the sapling is cut the tension is released and snaps the sapling free.

great job Lilly!!

Hey. You need to put the entrance facing the other way.

It’s admiral of you to show projects that don’t work out, Lilly.

Honest video i appreciate

Hi Lilly, my husband is a bush craft master. He says you made a great fish trap. However, having been trapping fish most of his life he says you need to put the entrance down stream. The odor of the bait flows downstream and lures the fish to come for the bait. Fish will not swim up stream and then back down stream to get the bait. I know it seems logical to put the wide end upstream but he has been doing this type of trapping since he was about 10. Also he suggest hanging the bait in the trap and using rotten meat, that helps the sent spread in the water better. While he may be wise in bush lore I am afraid his internet skills are very limited LOL Give it a try and see if this helps.

Gr8 job Lilly, yu truly are amazing.

Wow just wow me and my friend (we are boys ) learn so much from u thx

Stop disabling comments please, if your worried about hate just know that we love your vids and support everything you do. We understand that you hunt for food not sport.

That is an amazing skill.

Thanks Lilly. Don't get discouraged optimism is still an important tool Brian 76
