    When monitoring the movement of game, use a cheap bedside alarm clock tied to a tree. Remove the battery cover and tie the thread onto the battery. That way when the game pass and pull the battery out you can see what time it was because the clock will stop when the battery pops out.

    For monitoring trails for suspected poachers, don't tie the thread to an object on both sides of the trail. Tie it on one side, take it across the trail at a height about halfway between ankle and knee, then just lightly loop it over a branch on the other side of the trail. Not around yhe branch, just over it. That way it doesn't break, or bend or shake the bushes on either side. It just slides off the branch and slide across the poachers leg until he reaches the wind of it and it falls to the ground. And it points the way the poacher was going on the trail. Do this on multiple trail around the perimeter of your property and you can tell where he enters and where he leaves.

The thread was wrapped through the slits and around the lil piece of cardboard. I had some black, white, green, brown.. and then a few needles through a lil piece of paper. I always like the flat thin cardboard idea to keep some thread handy.

    Who gives a toss about game wardens if you are hungry. I don't know about the US, but here in Europe, they cannot frisk you while you're walking in the woods here. And when you want to fish using these, you put it out after sunset, We call this a 'nachtlijn' translated this means a 'night line' here in Europe - set up and taken away after sundown, before sunset. Owning a yo yo like this is not illegal, walking around with it is not either, fishing with it probably is even with a license, but personally I wouldn't care and I dare them to catch me. I you are not fishing for profit or for distribution, the game wardens can go suck on a lollipop for all I care. Also: two words that describe an identical activity - but have a different meaning in the dictionary are the following: Poaching: 'The average Joe who hunt game to eat' Hunting: 'The nobility who hunt game for entertainment'

    When I"am camping, regardless of stealth camping or simply camping, I set up a series of dead falls around my camping area on all avenues of approach, not to injure or hurt anyone, just make a lot of noise for the very reasons you stated. early warning and so I can make good my escape if need be. Someone approaches, trips a line and in the forest the approachers hear crashing and or thudding of limbs or logs or whatever the line they tripped was attached too causing that object to fall thus making noise, pulling their attention away from my location. I usually use very thin fishing line.

    They sell bobbin threaders that r battery powered at the fabrick store for about 20bucks but I think they r online for 5-10bucks. So if ya plan on doing this alot, get a bobbin threader(if u don't already have a sewing machine) so u don't spend hours winding the bobbin by hand. 😀

    If you do not have the fishing gadget a similar thing can be used with a trap. Basically putting a string around two trees close together and then using a stick between the two strands to wind it up and of course what ever trip you decide to use and or any other modifications. The point is if you got to run and leave stuff behind it would be better if the stuff you leave behind didn't cost you anything and can be easily made with a piece of string and some sticks.

    For the most basic alarm that almost everyone already has the stuff to make. Use a regular old rod and reel with mono line to make an invisible perimeter alarm. People or bears? Run the line at knee high and tie it off to something near you that alerts you. It's basic, but, so easy and effective.

    I hear my grandpa tellin me about moonshiners using tricks like this and to see if lawmen found their stills before they approached them. If they came across broken threads or any other evidence disturbance they would just continue down the trail away from their stills amd camp sites and loop back around to the other side and see if there were lawmen waiting in amush for them. If so they would do their best to leave the area and if they were stopped by officers they would just try to act like they were normal hunters walking around the area looking for game.

    When I was a kid I found some cap bombs in a joke shop that you were supposed to be put under a plate or something and when it was lifted the cap bombs would fire. Had a lot of fun with the scouts with these. Set them up so that when a cotton trip wire was engaged the cap bomb was pulled out of a tube made from a coke can making it go off. Not as stealthy as those in the video but good fun.

    growing up around shiners we got taught most of the tricks!! we've always used store brand clear 4 or 6 pound mono for trip wires!! i haven't used a yo-yo for a noise maker but i have used a whip before although if i'm going to the effort of making a whip anymore it will have spikes on it about crotch level! we've also used rat traps drilling a hole in it for a 12 gauge shell and fixing a nub on the bar to hit the primer and running a tripwire to it and we've made homemade friction igniters and rigged them to cherry bombs!

    They make trip wire that is thinner and breaks easier but not too easy. It’s booby trap trip wire and usually it’s OD green and it’s not that expensive. When You walk through it you don’t even know you did. But on dirt roads & driveways we would sweep the dirt with brush so you see any tire tracks or foot prints that go through. Those are old Warden & Sheriff’s Deputy tricks from my 25 years in LE for checking cabins for B&E trespassers.
