Thanks 👍

@@clayhayeshunter lol nah that's my line...you're the one teaching me new things.

​@clayhayeshunter Sir , you're the the deal . .. This is thee most impressive and detailed ,hard core survival bushcraft I've ever seen . Thank you for sharing your phenomenal knowledge.

That would be so cool

Probably one of the few people who wouldn't go broke buying the strips...cause yeah he doesn't have to buy them.

@Clark42EoC I'm not talking about a cedar strip and fiberglass canoe. I mean one with a birch bark skin , a split cedar inner frame, all sewn together with spruce roots. A traditional native canoe.

@@withoutfurtheradoforever I could only speak to a cedar strip canoe cause that's all I know about but I apologize...I did see you said birch bark but you also clearly knew what kind of canoe I meant when I spoke of strip price.

Many thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you think so!

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much

Thanks for visiting

Many thanks!

It would be a vacation for him.

Thank you!

@@clayhayeshunter Why did you strip off some of the inner bamboo? Because it is less abrasive for working with?

Yes, thanks

Glad you like them!

@just_another_WFR lol ok.

just_another_WFR The number of ways you are dead wrong and arrogant about it says all anyone needs to know. First off, the survival in my name refers to 20 years of fighting deadly health issues daily. Second, the design I spoke of is the same one used by many cultures for thousands of years. Third, I have made three of these traps over the decades. Made from whole saplings and tied together with much thinner strips that were quicker to tie. Catching fish in these traps isn't rocket science. In the time this took, a person could make three of quick ones compared to the nice once Clay made...more like have one in the water to catch bait for overnight promitory peg dead falls in the same amount of time. So yes, his is far more durable than a quick version so it will last a lot longer especially if you are packing it out as you travel. Fourth, you have no idea who you are talking to and to assume your masterful expertise over what I am saying and come at me like I'm an idiot is absurd. Who does that?. I had nothing but good things to say. In any real scenario you are the type to be first thrown out of the group so I hope you do know it all. I grew up in the mountains of NC in the 70s. We lived off the land and the farm before I added 40 years of experience to it. Hell, I barely wore shoes before about 9yo. We would go as kids and camp for days living on trout, rabbit and squirrels at the old family moonshine camps and that was normal life. Get a grip man, whatever this is that you are doing isn't it.

@just_another_WFR wow, you claim all of this experience but speak as if there is a simple answer and only yours is correct for all fishing all situations. You sound ridiculous saying you have done all these things in all of these countries yet you waste your time telling me how wrong I am. What you are saying doesn't even make sense. When you make the trap larger than Clays (about chest high) it has plenty of cage qualities to fit your claims as an expert of global fish psychology. Next, when you use them in small fast mountain streams you can funnel the fish into it and don't even use bait. Fish traps entirely depend on where, when, how and for what. Your blanket statement to try to be somebody and say my advice is deadly only shows more about what you are lacking is far more vast and personal than basic discussion about things I have proven work with my own hands...as well as endless other people throughout time. All of this is ignorant and seems more like a troll with no life than a world traveller. People that travel have respect and manners. Anyone that says "when yall with survival" (while being a complete asshole out of the gate) doesnt have the character to do much of anything real. I'm done here, this is obviously a waste of time.

Man, they would take an entire essay to answer. In short, they both have their significant challenges. I don’t think I could pick a winner.

Many thanks 🙏

Thank you very much!

Thank you kindly

Thank you so much!

😜

Definitely takes a while

Willow would work great

Because the forest of overstocked which you can see by the lack of understory plants.

@@clayhayeshunter Ah right, I’m in the top of Australia and was talking about native, unmanaged bush/woods/forest

Same here in philippines. We also call it bubu

Thanks for sharing

Yeah, it kills the tree. The inner layer of the bark is where the transport system of trees are situated called the xylem and phloem respectively. Water and nutrients cant move to the top of the tree anymore and it will die.

Yes, but the trees are overstocked anyway so killing a few will benefit the rest.

Панда ест деревья тоже

Yep

I did last year and did some night time bow fishing with it.

Я бы их съел

We’re in Florida right now

I wondered this myself. Great question!

It will not work. Since the fish came in into the trap because they wanna take a selfie for the family album.

A question for Pandora
