Asian Bird Trap Laos

[SuperMigrod]

Dave, that is a very interesting bird trap. Love the way it stores all together to put multiples in a bug out bag. A+ on this my friend

[aholesmith]

Thanks for sharing, wish you would show some closeups of the triggering mechanism how its carved and how its attached to the sapling line and loop when set. The same for several other of your trap vids.

[MBJB07]

Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest! Great video, Dave. Keep 'em coming.

[kael9403]

Very simple yet effective bird trap I've seen so far. Thanks for this video,really appreciate it..

[Super47max]

2 dislike use only bb gun in their backyard

[Animerawks100]

The way you say about the chicken part. Is what they call us asian catching the chicken call the Red Jungle Fowl chickens. Known to be a wild chicken which is similar to a quail family.

[PFbigfan447]

a very brilliant trap dave,but i wish this GratzyTheGame would stop teasing every body!

[blueeyedmom91]

Neat

Great video

[kiwicoote]

Thank you for posting this.  I'm a primitive trap enthusiast and it is really good to see genuine artifacts as you have shown us. A good trap, well explained.

Best wishes from New Zealand.... Stephen Coote.

solid



[Super47max]

great video...my father,uncles and grandpa used to do the same trap like this back in laos. there also a way to trap wild boars by the leg. he should try teaching how to make some asian hmong cross bow for small game.

[xman4152]

are they for sell



[primitivebushskills]

that trap looks really effective thanks for showing

good small size and easy to carry

[OUTDOORSWITHCLF]

Hey i was just wondering if anyone from the team could show how to make a trap similar to this.

[jerryhawj91]

lol i made a big version of that trap which my dad tought me and i try it using my chicken lol the resalts success lol i didnt for fun lol

[Touyeng07]

are these perhaps traps by the Hmong people?

[7whitewolf7]

good vid been looking 4 good bird traps. =

[FalseShadowx]

Dave,

I have a small library of survival and primitive trap making books. I have read them and searched for more traps online for several years, and had thought I'd seen them all. I have never seen or heard of this trap before. Also, your videos on here as well as Dual Survival are the best survival-oriented videos I have ever seen. Keep it up, and good luck in the future!

[nateiscool100]

[survivalmike]

cheers from Austria

Mike

[koeksoep12]

It works fine I do make one by my ine and I cachts a bird!!!!!!!!!!!

[BombMastre]

Thank you, Dave! Have been looking for some bird traps.

Is this trap illustrated in your book? All the best

[wildernessoutfitters]

@BombMastre Yes Sir

[baddogonline]

That tribe could mass produce those and make a mint...

[jimrbsn]

Human ingenuity is amazing !

I guess that's why there are about 7 billion of us now.

[FixedByDoc]

this is my favorite video of yours this week... that is a great little trap kit... thanks for going all over the globe and bringing this back to share with me. i cant get a passport so i have to liive through ppl like you when it comes to travel. i really like this one...

[MrBillTroop73]

Nice work !

I bet you could just push a stick through the hole of a bright colored pony bead, and not have to split the stick?

Just a thought.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@MrBillTroop73 You may very well be right, animals like people (SAR) are attracted to contrast and movement.

[modernsavage7]

@wildernessoutfitters it never ceases to amaze me how patient and tolerant you are when dealing with "gentlemen" like gratzythegame. you exhibit a lot of class while still managing put the pup under the porch!!! LOL, so good to have you back

[GratzyTheGame]

my traps are way better

[wildernessoutfitters]

@GratzyTheGame Saw your comment on my other trap vid so I thought I would check out your page, you have some nice traps many are overcomplicated for real value! I guess I am not one to talk bad about others so I will just say that watching your Survival Tin video 1. you have alot to learn and 2. Your hands dont look like they have seen much dirt time. Stick around young man we can all learn from each other without saying we are better.

[TJ41238]

@GratzyTheGame oh yeah ur traps are way better after all ur on tv with survival expert cody lundin and an awsome you tube channel full of very impressive stuf and have written two books on survivability......oh wait thats not u i must be thinking of survival expert dave canterbury

[GratzyTheGame]

@TJ41238 Have you seen the tv show DUAL SURVIVAL? in a survival situation dave hunted a turkey with a bow and a cody found one big fish into a river., then at the final , they have seen o ship on the water and in the air a plane. WTF? IT'S SO FAKE. Look at Survivalman with Less Stroud if you want to see some real survival situations. Dave and Cody are survival experts. I learnd soo much from their videos, but my traps are way better :)))...........not !!! Thank you for your reply.

[TJ41238]

@GratzyTheGame ive seen every episode of dual survival not only do they show how to score food with primitive traps how to make fire from friction of some king of magnafinglass and also if u were in daves shoes how would u deal with all that how would u deal with african lions and alligators u would probably get ur ass ate

[GratzyTheGame]

@TJ41238 obviously you don't get it. The tv-show are just some scenarios, that's not real life, it's just a show. Look at "Alone in the wild" that's the real deal, cum spune o vorba romaneasca, - "Esti mai prost ca mos craciun !"

[bennyboyshaw]

Excellent bit of kit. Laos is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I got seriously lost off road in the Jungle there, and all though none of the villagers anywhere understood a f~~~ing word I said, they all smiled and pointed and offered help, lovely.

[psynthpriest]

Another very cool snare trap. Amazing how many tiny variations there can be on a simple idea.

[tekknorat]

Niceee. Kinda permanent trap, one that You can use over and over again. Cool.

[danthemanb3]

This is why your channel is my favorite. You show unique things that actually work, not just random survival techniques.

[m6996j]

i bet critter liked this one . i did too

[curtisskeete]

We make the same trap in the Caribbean. We call it a break neck trap.

[frutte33]

Dave is back posting vids on youtube......That makes me happy.

[moxncal]

my father said that in laos if your lost in the jungle you will NEVER go hungry, always something to eat. being born in the refugee camps and growing up in the US, i think i wouldn't last a day in laos, i would need my father or some local guide.

[p4h10oso]

This is why you're my fav bushmaster, another new doable skill.

[survivalmike]

amazing stuff DAVE!

thx for showing - ONE of my favorites now :-)

all the best from Austria

cheers Mike

[farmboyEN]

Awesome trap but i would suggest maybe a Bic pen tube instead of a very small pvc pipe

[markshmily]

Very cool trap!

I wonder if a bit large one would be good for catching turkeys?

[flamedrag18]

I can easily see this being adapted for even northern climates, use mountain ash berries of pieces of apple for the bait, milk weed for the bait holder/trigger stick and some form of hardwood for the pegs and toggle.

almost any bird will eat both mountain ash berries and apple.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@flamedrag18 Will post a vid tomorow shot in the summer of this trap modded for America with a locust branch bait stick and berries for bait.

[flamedrag18]

@wildernessoutfitters cool

[tyler1768]

you can also use very small fishing hooks with bait on it birf eats bait and hook hook get caught in bird and then you have dinner

[flamedrag18]

@tyler1768 downsides to that is you need the bird to pick it up and swallow it and you can lose your hook if the bird somehow breaks the cord, this method is easier and more productive, the reason these people use these traps instead of hooks, they can afford to waste hooks.

[aerobique]

: D

[TheSurviver72]

Sweet! You da Man, Dave. Really appreciate all the new vids your putting up. Thanks!!

[RonRay]

One of the best bird traps I've seen!

[slab698]

man thats slick.

[topcat6228]

wow nice trap. Have to try this some time. One question I have is how you got the seeds trough customs? that seed might be an Invasive species to the US

[wildernessoutfitters]

@topcat6228 That seed aint gonna grow in the Plastic Bag in a keepsake box in the closet bro, no worries!

[joker52mlb]

@wildernessoutfitters well put. lol!

[topcat6228]

@wildernessoutfitters ok cool just wondering. thank you reply. hay if you get a chance to go out hunting this season. good luck. Vin

[flamedrag18]

@topcat6228 if you check it into customs, your allowed to bring them in, also, the seed can't germinate in it's current state, so they let it through.

[tracycolorado]

Thank You Very Much

[saintrojo]

Hell you could "glue" some seeds with pine pitch on any sort of stick. Very Kewl !!!

[flamedrag18]

@saintrojo this way makes it even harder for them to get at them.

[wanderinggibbon]

I suggest Elder stem for the UK and Europe, it has a removable pith. Damn! Good to have you back, Dave.

[prvthudson]

that is a awesome lil trap, that is took cool. would love to see it actually work keep p the good vids dave.

[hellerZauberer]

Very interesting. Any chance we could get a different angle so we can see what you're doing?. I am so glad you make sure what you are saying is heard.

[ZeroCool11687]

Thanks on the informative video. very helpful.. I had a question i have a victorinox Trecker... would that be a good knife along side with a good camping axe ?. thanks dave.

[bcafotw]

Use River Cane for the seed trap , almost as good as bamboo. First Rate Dave !! thanks, ...JC

[Krylon103112]

[darthwelt]
