[MakoGryphon]

[TheGods1marine]

@MakoGryphon haha Thank you my friend, Reggie

[iwantosavemoney]

good work we call them connect 4s because when you get done with it the trigger looks like a 4 you can make heaver version of this for dead fall traps as a kid we would use the same trap with a pyramid wooden box to trap birds in the back yard.

[TheGods1marine]

@iwantosavemoney Thats interesting my friend Thank you.

,Reggie

[MHTCapcomfan]

Thanks, Reggie

[HowYaDoingMon]

.22 time...

[TheGods1marine]

@ThadKs haha Yep

[CZBOHUNK]

Good job keep up the good work.

[TheGods1marine]

@CZBOHUNK Thank you my friend i plan to

Reggie

[CriticalTh1nker]

Oh! I almost forgot...With that Sesame Oil and Soy Sauce mix to flavor your Bamboo - you need to add a dash of Vinegar. The Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil wont mix without it.

[TheGods1marine]

@CriticalTh1nker Thank you my friend i will be sure be try that out

Reggie

[CriticalTh1nker]

@TheGods1marine: Let me know what you think when you do. The method I outlined to you is a popular way that Bamboo is eaten here in Japan (And no! I'm not Japanese. I just live here.)

[TheGods1marine]

@CriticalTh1nker I sure will my friend

Thank you

Reggie

[CriticalTh1nker]

3. Be proud that you possess skills that most don't; the ability to survive, with the aid of some simple tools, in an environment where most would probably starve.

Oh! And by the way...You handled Azrael315 well; the comment of whom, being completely irrelevant to the subject, was obviously a misplaced attempt to boast of his service, under the pretext of having a problem with your moniker and ACU's...

[CriticalTh1nker]

A few things...

1. I've watched most of your videos since subscribing and have found them to be very informative.

2. Relative to eating Bamboo: According to the wife, the root that you left in the ground is the healthiest and tastiest part. I cannot vouch for this; however, I can suggest that you place a small amount of Sesame oil and Soy Sauce in a dish for flavoring, and dip each piece in it as needed. For added kick, add a small amount of Wasabi to the mix. Lastly...

[Azrael315]

you're name is thegods1marine, yet you wear army acu pants, and your NOT a marine, go to bootcamp and stop irritating me kid, have fun EARNING that title like I did..

on a lighter note i enjoyed the video and i gave it a thumbs up, though it could be shortened...

[TheGods1marine]

@Azrael315 When i was younger i wanted to be in the marines like my father however as i have gotten older my career seems to be heading in another direction Also i received the ACU from my brother who currently serving over seas.

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[PooPoo2U]

@Azrael315: The kid's not going around claiming to be Sergeant York, lay off.

[Noahrr25]

Ah! You made me cringe when you started sawing with your knife towards you! 3:53 But man, keep it up! I love your videos!

[TheGods1marine]

@Noahrr25 haha yeah not the smartest thing to do

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[sjfergs]

haha when i was young id put a stick under a box and tie a string to it that would run through my window inside, I would sit and wait for a squirrel to go for the food inside and pull the string except the squirrel was always too fast this is way better!!!!

[TheGods1marine]

@sjfergs haha That one way to do it my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[666abee]

woaa you got a squirrel..

squirreeeel... yaiii.. \o/

is it tasty.??

[TheGods1marine]

@666abee haha it was not in season my friend so i did not eat it

@The1234bonecollector Thank you my friend, if you do let me know how works out.

,Reggie

[HappyJackProduction1]

[kailan919]

where do u do that is it your back yard

[TheGods1marine]

@kailan919 That's great my friend and i set this trap at a park so i could film it

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[mooseboy66]

I love how your using a $.25 kitchen knife u can get at the thrift store (looks like) to make all the awesome traps. lol right on ... I always see these long arguments on the best survival knives ... the best knife is the one your holding plus + you brain ... keep it up

[TheGods1marine]

@mooseboy66 You just can't beat those old hi carbon steak knifes

Thank you my friend, Reggie 

[radioactiveroach]

Don't let him go! He'll tell the other squirrels.

[TheGods1marine]

@radioactiveroach haha. Thanks for the laugh my friend it was much needed tonight

,Reggie

[fabianstraregy]

Nice work except when you were making the notch ; part of the time when notching you had the knife facing you which is awkward meaning there could be an accident for novices at outdoor craft . Besides that , catching the squirrel was an excellent climax . Well done .

[TheGods1marine]

@fabianstraregy Thank you my friend ill try to be more careful

,Reggie

[7u94t0n]

@fabianstraregy That awkward moment... *shiver*

[fabianstraregy]

@7u94t0n Dude I'm good with a blade but when I see any chance of there being an accident I get cotton mouthed and spittle foams at the corners of my mouth . It's scarey :)

[houndsman03]

Nice trigger, well done....

[TheGods1marine]

@houndsman03 Thank you my friend ,Reggie

[nate9721]

nice video ...thanks

[TheGods1marine]

@nate9721 Thank you my friend ,Reggie

[dblair1969]

TheGods1marine = John Connor When "it" hit's the fan, I'll be looking for this guy! Awesome information, you taught this old dawg some new tricks!

[TheGods1marine]

@dblair1969 Thank you my friend ,Reggie

[jjb3point14159265358]

"The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel!"

[TheGods1marine]

@jjb3point14159265358 Only take what you need my friend

Thanks,Reggie

[fabianstraregy]

@jjb3point14159265358 your stupid :) but the funny kind .

[jjb3point14159265358]

@fabianstraregy derp...

[yabaworld]

i like how there's kids sayin "I'm 12 and I love his videos" lol. I'm 27 and I like them too lol. Kickass. Way better than Jersey Shore or Family Guy. Plus if the Sun ejects an X-class CME Solar Flare directed at Earth, we are all getting sent back to the 1800's overnight. And hopefully people who didn't waste their life watching Jersey Shore will know how to feed themselves other than stealing off of the people who do.

[TheGods1marine]

@yabaworld I'm glade to see you enjoyed my friend

Thanks,Reggie

[someramdomguy99]

what did you use to bait the squirrel

[TheGods1marine]

@someramdomguy99 Peanut butter

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[phatasm]

In my country we call this a figure-4 deadfall trap. Well done! in my opinion a little too much whiddling but you managed to create a very fine hair trigger, which is the key.

[TheGods1marine]

@phatasm Thank you my friend

,Reggie

[hplohish]

Finally, somebody, who'd show how it's made, set up, and WORKED.

[TheGods1marine]

@hplohish Glade you enjoyed it my friend

Thanks ,Reggie

[trinity9704]

do they always bite the stick or do you put bate on it

[TheGods1marine]

@trinity9704 you will need to put a very small amount of bait on the end of the stick

Thank you my friend ,Reggie

[Nev36]

Great vid. Shame more youngsters dont have an interest like this.

[TheGods1marine]

@Nev36 That is true my friend

Thanks,Reggie

[killer3000x9]

@Nev36 Im 12 and i Love his videos

[MrGerbilBrain]

[dockfishingking]

[TheGods1marine]

@Squid413B Thank you my friend and i plan to make more videos when i obtain a camera

Thanks,Reggie

[runeski74]

nice to see it used at the end, I hate when theres a vid on a trap or snare and you never get to see it actually trap something! Great vid Reggie

[TheGods1marine]

@runeski74 Thank you my friend, i wish i could do that with all of trapping videos but unfortunately i cant

,Reggie

[Oukoyami]

[SydDoeseckle]

[TheGods1marine]

@SydDoeseckle I used peanut butter and bread on this trap

Thanks my friend, Reggie

[manni810]

[TheGods1marine]

@manni810 Sorry to hear that my friend

Reggie

[scottasing]

Dude i love you video's, But how is this ANY different then a figure 4 deadfall

[TheGods1marine]

@scottasing Thanks my friend and yes this trap is very similar to the figure four dead fall trap however its built a little different.

Reggie

[thewildhunter10]

i like how u showed that it really workd! i have went on to other peoples sights and they showed me how to make it, but they never showed me if it really worked! Thanks and keep filming.

[Steelclaw717]

8:19 Squirrels like "Oh crap..."

[EricRacine123]

i'd keep it as a pet

[wolfcookieo9]

awww look how cute the fat little squirel is :]

[kernelninja]

wow ur knifes sharp lol

[peepsight900]

How would you kill the squirrel, how long does it usually take to catch it and what did you use for bait? Thank you.

[sallymaggiespotty]

The squirrel was later tortured and killed.

[ilanimaka1]

Really a very good video & setup. Keep up the good work!

[MRmeepmurp]

lol the squirrel is like "oh shit"

[TheSasker]

look's like a kitcjen knife:P!

[VSCassidy]

good job! may i ask you a question... when you are going for a trip out in to the woods for about 3-5 days. would you take a small axe with you? or is a knife and sticks just about enough for preparing fires or shelters?

[ballzinacan01]

haha 4 people cought them selves in the trap

[TheGods1marine]

@ballzinacan01 Haha Nice !!

[hunfishsirvjefreak12]

@ballzinacan01 nice realy lke that name thegods1marine love the video do ever watch bear grylls

[kileydogg]

very good,,i recommend a putting down a wooden mat or a hard surface of sorts as a squirrel will dig itself a way out if given enough time...

[Powershowerable12324]

kool video man if im ever stuck in the woods i hope its with u

[Idonthackingknow]

he seems like a cool dude. nice video

[freereport1]

U r a Genius!

[loneshark123]

8:22 MAN HAS FOOLED BEAST HAHAHA

[3XT4SY6]

nice

[naomi797023]

love it like the way u caught that squirrel XD

[ekmann999]

what type of knife is that

[liilmiro]

Nice trap dude!! :D



[smartman136]

Just my thoughts i think you need to sharpen your knife because of the force you had to put behind it. Imagine if you slipped and hit your arm or leg. Or worse your nads. Keep it sharp. Trust me.

[DUBLongboarding]

rednecks have the best hammers!!!

[andreamaster1998]

good fantastic

[TheAlphaFaction]

it that a uhhh.. steak knife? lol

[Sk8erkingguy78]

cool house

[bf2movies200]

Dont be a robot!

[jamster12rules]

if you say look at the trapping laws why diddnt you kill it by law you have to kill it

[thelastone7139]

DAM SON!! that was pretty good!

[ezkid47]

you remind me of a douche bag named john dillion.

[dagshark]

[MrChicoDawg]

i did it and i caught me a bear

[robro6446]

now thats good EATIN'

[MrHos84]

Good video dude! You did a great job explaining everything. Maybe think about the camera shots a little, sometimes it was a little out of focus. I like that split stick version, and will try it. I just got into this woodcraft stuff and it's a lot of fun.

Thanks fo' yo' info!

[sargetech]

Good Video!!!

I liked the disclaimer you voiced at the end!!! Smart!!!

I will trap'em and have a big pot of boiling water and douse them

Squirrels are nothing but Rats with Blow Dried Tails!!! (joke)!!!

[stickypeanut13]

Thanks! I'm gonna make on. Except for coons, we have a problem with them things.

[nathan4005]

Haha that squirrel was pissed as hell jumping like that

[MrDominickmoore]
