triggers: The Deadfall Series (part 5)

This trap is a very large scale dead fall. The animal hits the branch with the bait on it and as it turns log it is attached to the log releases from the notch and the large dead fall weight log is released. I side notch will probably be need for large scale traps to make fitting of the log holding the dead fall safe and much easier. This trap, when done on the large scale, is extremely dangers and is only for the most experienced of survivalist in the most dire of situations.

Triggers: The deadfall series (part 2):The Figure 4

This is one of my favorite traps because its elegance and its versatility of function. The figure four is an easy cary (without the rock) and is easily set up. A very important feature of the figure 4 is that it can be used as a live trap. To make it a live trap, simply make the rock a basket, box or other container that is large enough to capture an animal. This makes it ideal for long term survival because it allows the survivalist to turn wild animals into farm animals, both preserving food and possibly allowing for breading. Also, and probably most importantly this trap, or variation thereof, can be made without tools.

Have fun and watch those hands

Triggers: The deadfall series



This trigger is best for small traps, say ones in trees, and is extremely easy to carry. Also it is easy to cary and it is great for live traps.
