I was camping in Texas with my nephew on a small island that split a fairly large creek (could almost consider it a river). I wasn't paying attention and used a barbless hook with line attached to a spring pole. I had a bell attached to the line let me know I was getting a bite. I heard it ring and got to it in time to see the pole launch a good-sized pan fish from one side of the island to the other side of the creek. My nephew asked me "what the hell was that?" I said, "Apparently I'm relocating fish under the witness protection program". Ate cup o noodle soup that night. Went to a trotline setup instead the next day.

That was probably the most straight forward survival/bushcraft technique I've learned in ages. Very well done sir thank you

Thanks Dave for everything, really! About a 10? yrs ago you sold me a slingbow and some other stuff for an 8 year old. He's grown to a strong young man with skills to live without. We left our Ohio/Amish community for the woods of Texas and the tonight another son is watching your videos too. God bless you and yours.

Wow, what a wonderful concept. Getting straight to the video without a 30 minute intro. Great video!

The fishing part of that trap is so much better than tying it to your toe. What an excellent trap. Thanks Dave that is way simpler and the way I used to sell them.

Thanks Dave for all you have done over the years for the bushcrafting/trapping /survivalist community! No one has been better at passing on their knowledge for current and future generations of bushcrafters! You’re the best brother! God bless you!

He's taught us all a lot. He's taught me almost everything I know. I will be passing that knowledge to my children and they will know his name.

An excellent clear informative demo of how to make the Twitch-up trap thank you, Dave. In my own experience, I have found that it takes 7-9 set traps to set in an average rabbit-populated area in the countryside here in New Zealand for me to bag one rabbit a night. I will bring a video out on this in action in my next primitive video.

Very educational! If I see a fish in the trees, I'll know how it got there.

Brilliant, simple, and elegant as always Dave. Thank you for all that you do. You are a blessing to me and my family. ❤️🙏🏼

Pleased to see trapping still happens. 80 year old guy here. In the winter bunnies run on obvious paths in the snow I made loops of brass wire. drove in a peg & laid the wire right on the paths, snow would soon cover the snare and sooner or later a rabbit would step into my snare. Every time I checked there was a rabbits foot in the snare. yup every snare I set this way got a bunny. But too hard to get back to the snare before a coyote does. Yes I fed them coyotes all winter; I also caught weasels with small leg hold traps. I skinned them & the HBC would buy the pelts from me. 🤠. I did not trap except in the winter for fur.

That was one of the best videos to that subject I've ever seen. Very impressed by the knots - very well thought through with a lot of experience.

Beautiful larks head and marlin spike combination. Certainly a super secure knot but yet easily undone. Totally brilliant Dave. Superb trap/trigger method. Thanks so much for all you do on this channel. I sent I application to the 2023 Alone Challenge. Wish me the good fortune of getting selected. Jim Rodgers

Awesome very informative video. Simplified enough that nearly anyone could do this. Thank you.

Awesome teaching Dave. You keep getting better and better at effective demonstrations step by step. I particularly enjoyed the larks head slip knot. Would never have thought of that combination.

That larks head slip knot is great. Very useful.

You’re a great teacher Dave. Very well explained and understandable. Great stuff to know!

Every time the best teacher ! Thanks and all the best for everyone,from Germany 🌳🌲

Thanks Dave. God Bless everyone at SRO.

Marlin spike to larkshead knot. I will say that although these are basic details i have learned so much application from Dave on this subject over the years. Super useful

KZread offered me a fourteen year old one of your videos and I'm impressed you've been doing this this long. Great stuff!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mr Canterbury.

thank you for teaching me everything i know David. These skills will last any man or woman a lifetime.

Nicely done, and the way the world is getting, it just might come in handy one day.

Thanks for actually showing what your doing and explaining it clearly, great videos man!

This is an excellent demonstration of trap design and application. Thank you for your time.

Always learning something new from you Dave! Thanks!

Dave teaches great sprinpole snare trap! Dave is a super teacher!

Always enjoy your explanation of these traps! Thanks Dave!

WHATS UP DAVID. SIR I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE DUAL SURVIVOR. I LOVED THAT SHOW. YOU WERE AWESOME BRO. SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. I HAD NO IDEA YOU HAD ONE. LOOKING FOWARD TO BINGE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT

Dave, great content! I love learning new stuff like this, teaching my 4 kids too.

Thank you for offering a well-constructed tutorial!

I’ve watched so many of these types of videos and it’s just like the knot tying videos, at least with me anyway. But you can watch someone doing it a hundred times but until you get the rope or string or wire and physically make the knots or cut the pieces of wood and do it yourself you will be lost in the field. It’s not hard. But the more you do it the more you can fine tune the snare or perfect the knots. That’s what happened to me. I couldn’t remember a quarter of the information or skills shown to me from watching a video and began to think I was stupid. Well maybe I am. But hands on makes it happen and the more you do it the better you will get. Dave there definitely knows his stuff and that’s a fact. But all he can tell and do is show you. You have to do it yourself to know how to do it. Buddy your videos are always amazing and appreciated thank you for sharing your experience with us ✌️👍🇺🇸

IMHO that was one of the best examples of how this kind of snare or fishing trap works. Good job.

Your content and teaching style are really exemplary!

Super awesome trap trigger system. I like using a counter balance like a log so I don't have to find a spring pole but I'm definitely adding this trigger to how I set it up.

You da man Dave..! Thanks for teaching triggers as so many others don’t..!

Great instructional video. Awesome trigger. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Dave.

I love your larks head jam knot.

I like the use of orange line for demonstration 👍

Always enjoy Dave’s videos. I believe him to be the salt of the earth type of person

Well done. I bought the Traps and Snares Card Deck from Ready Hour that I use out in the bush to practice, but this was super thorough and gave me extra details. Thx

You are an excellent teacher, thank you!

Dave you’re the best and getting better and more clearly demonstrated information to us always. You were also the best back when they had you paired with the other guy on the tv show. He was good, but his personality was too competitive for the entire concept of survival being a cooperative team effort.

Heck yea! This is what I was talking about the other day when I said I miss the older style of videos you would make!

I really like the trigger system on this one! I’ll have to try it out soon. Thanks again!

Thank you for making the knots understandable!

ABSOLUTELY great instructions as always !!! Keep it COMING evermore learning !!!Thanks

Yep, I used to use it for fishing. I use a beer can and when it snaps , it hits the can . Perfect for catfish and always free. I'd love to see a video on that. People are wasting money on tech . It's extremely satisfying to hear that can pop .

Get video. Very informative and easy to follow as always Dav. Thank you again for sharing.

Very good demonstration. I will be putting it together and saving the parts in a bag. I will make a few of them Thx.

Learn something new every day. Thanks Dave!

DC is the foremost bushcraft voice out here. Please keep perfecting your skillset Dave.

Thanks Dave. Love from WKY.

Thank you for your excellent explanation of this useful snare! I feel like I can make it happen.

Love this Dave. Just ordered your book on trapping too. Excited to get out & try some of your stuff 👍

I like Dave's teaching style

I love these kind of vudeos! I'm going to try this tomorrow.

A very efficient and simple trap can't fail , One thing to consider a problem may arise when throwing out the fishing line not to set the trap and ideally you want to keep the line as taught as possible Cheers UK

Yeah! My favourite snare! Really good lesson video! Thanks!

Professional at work !!!! Outstanding AF

Quite a neat trap set .. Well explained and looks effective. Thanks

I learn more in five minutes with Dave than hours and days spent with so-called experts. Dave is clear, concise, and gifted teacher of survival and bushcraft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with the world.

When I was young I was taught the figure 4 dead fall, I eventually developed different snares, swinging logs and live traps based off the figure 4 triggers. Even alarm systems using those pull-string party poppers and throw snaps and figure 4 triggers

Dude, I've used a similar setup for fishing for years. I never put the two together. Good looking out brother. Thank you.

Loving the influx of new videos.

Thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciate your videos.

Simple and effective ty Brother for another outstanding trap for my arsenal

A very informative and educational video. Still doesn't out do my wife though, she's got the most primitive and effective meat trap known to man.

Out the door I go to give this a try! Thanks so much Dave

Great video. straight to the point yet detailed enough. (I rarely comment on videos but you go straight to the meat and potatoes with your content) good stuff! ill definitely check out more of your content if its like this. :)

Hey Dave, SO happy to see on video again. Hope all is well. I'll be subscribing. Keep them coming.

Thank you again sir. Very well illustrated. NW ga.

Great traps demonstration. Snares will produce food for sure

Thanks for another great video, hope your well.

Fantastic demonstration, thanks for sharing

This is how my dad taught me - We'd go camping when I was real young, sleeping on the ground, no tent. He'd set a couple of these and a trout line with a dozen or so baited hooks and we'd eat for days.... Rabbit, squirrel, racoon, fish....

Thanks Dave, I’m going to give this one a shot.

I've never had to use all that boy scout stuff I learned. But, it certainly could come in handy. Some think survival is running around the woods with a AR. Those guys will starve quickly....

All this stuff is BoyScout stuff , my wilderness survival instructor was such a hard ass .if you earned the merit badge ,you were qualified to survive the apocalypse !

Nice explanation, keep it simple.

DC, On the bait stick I use a smooth rock or coin on the ground to give it a faster smoother trip.....JMO....Excellent demo always enjoy the traps & triggers ....ATB

Unlike some other fellows, this man values the message more than the the messenger. Subbed.

i hadn't heard of the "poacher's loop" knot before. good the way it tightens and has friction compared to say just a bowline with the string passing through

Awesome how to for something I had a Dickensons understanding how to set up!

hell yeah Dave, I'll see you in may for the land nave intensive!!!

Dave is the man.

Wonderfully detailed explanation!

Wow! Hopefully i will never have to use this for my survival...but man am i glad i learned this today!!!

Very informative video, easy to understand. Thank you.

this was crystal clear

Good video! Thanks for the close up detail! Wore my glasses for it Dave! 😅

I will never do any of these things but love it!

Wow, impressive ! I loved the video and knowledge. THANKS 😊 ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Nice, so many ways to use this trigger put it to the side of a trail and put your loop vertical etc.

very concise and easy to understand. very well done. New subscriber - Thank you

Nice. Thanks for the lesson

Great trap. Thanks for that!

Very well done. Linked to further explanations and instructions of the knots you favor would perfect what you have done. Excellent!

That is really neat.

Way awesome! Thank you, Dave.

Awesome.....Many thanks for this video 😊😊
