How to Make Pig Spear Trap

[ricktoven2]

Dude, you got some mad skills. The property you make videos on seems especially suited for that type of thing. Is that home? Where are you?

[TheGods1marine]

@ricktoven2 Thank you my friend. I am in North Carolina also some some video are on my father's land, friends land and public.

Thanks, Reggie

[dr0d84]

All these trap you have made, have you caught anything?

[TheGods1marine]

@dr0d84 Because of all the laws here i can only use the dead fall trap.

Thank you my friend. Reggie

[120793Wes]

Do you think you could do more stuff with hardwood trees and stuff like that, you do a good job as far as technique but i dont think there will be a good supply of bamboo in most survival situations lol

[BigMacD1442]

wont the bamboo get used to being bent and loose its spring

[JoMouse75]

?? That trap has enough power to stop or wound so you can track it? Also wondering if you would consider it useful to use a smaller piece hollowed out and placed into the striking point so there would be continual bleeding? Does that make sense?

Thanks for you videos

[TheGods1marine]

@JoMouse75 That makes since my friend, Just make sure it have enough power.

Thanks, Reggie

[Xalmeus]

Those tutorials are kinda usefull. but I didn't know there were wild pigs in North Carolina

[TheGods1marine]

@Xalmeus Thats is true my friend.

Thanks, Reggie

[KiraleeStrange]

cool



[TheGods1marine]

@KiraleeStrange Thank you my friend, Reggie

[SuperApurdy]

if you dont mind my asking, were is it that you live? i live in Pennsylvania.

I would hate to have all those rules and regs about not being able to use certain traps.

Your friend,

Alex

[TheGods1marine]

@SuperApurdy North Carolina my friend and yeah there pretty strict around here.

Thanks, Reggie

[Cody00911]

hey, try using Para Cord bud, it will work way better!

[TheGods1marine]

@Cody00911 That is true my friend.

Thanks, Reggie

[uplandhunter00]

you are very talented in backwoods stuff but hay no homemade knife whatsup w/dat???

[TheGods1marine]

@uplandhunter00 Just never really gave it a try my friend.

Thanks, Reggie

[UL439]

would it have enough force to do any arm to a wild hog? those guys have pretty hard sides.

[TheGods1marine]

@UL439 I don't know my friend i have never tried it because its illegal to use here :(

Thanks, Reggie

[Cody00911]

@UL439 Yes, bigger Peice of bamboo for the spring and use 3 spears on it and for tieing it and what not, use Para Cord! its way better then that rope twine shit cuz that will break easily and rot and this will work with other types of wood too but if its not a strong enough spring then tie it once at the top then tie it again lower down the stick and fishing line works great for the trip line aswell

[SuperApurdy]

have you ever gotten anything in any of your traps? u should do a video on a snare that got something in it. do you have hogs ner were you live?

[TheGods1marine]

@SuperApurdy Sorry my friend most of the traps i show how to build i cannot use because of the laws however i was able to use my dead fall and catch some small animals.

Thanks, Reggie

[lordbradford1]

you got some good skills kid

[TheGods1marine]

@lordbradford1 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[machinegunmike95]

how well does the point penetrate hog skin???

[TheGods1marine]

@machinegunmike95 I don't know my friend have never tried it.

Thanks, Reggie

[machinegunmike95]

@TheGods1marine ok well thank you for the speedy reply friend

[kissmyarse666]

Very clever mate , your knowledge is vast reggie your learning an old dog like me a few new neat skills , big Thumbs up great stuff

[TheGods1marine]

[TheGods1marine]

@NCR0NewportRanger Thank you my friend

Reggie

[edwardgegi]

nice... bud can't you use something else exept bamboo ??? you use bamboo il all your videos

[TheGods1marine]

@edwardgegi Yes my friend you can.

Thanks, Reggie

[jwhamilton79]

where did you learn all this you are good buddy, i have to learn how to build it, awsome asome

[TheGods1marine]

@jwhamilton79 Books and online but most of what i know is from just spending time out in the bush.

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[kromknives]

great vids im really impressed pay no attention to the idiots! just jealous! i thought mabey you would like to make your own bushcraft knife. check out greenpete he is a good place to start. good knives can be made easy and simply and would be a good addition to your vids. keep it up your doin great

[TheGods1marine]

@kromknives Thank you my friend

,Reggie

[RandomChannel44]

next make a manbearpig trap please.

[TheGods1marine]

@RandomChannel44 haha that might be kinda hard my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[ASPerlman]

you should have put something in the trap to show the power of the spring and how deep the spear could penetrate say a grapefruit.

[TheGods1marine]

@ASPerlman Thats a good idea my friend Thank you

,Reggie

[MHTCapcomfan]

seems like a painful death to me O_o

[TheGods1marine]

@MHTCapcomfan Not if its done right my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[Bushcrafts]

This really is a piece of professionality

[TheGods1marine]

@Bushcrafts Thank you my friend

,Reggie

[babochureum]

someone somewhere has backyard full of dead cat corpses cuz of this video.

[TheGods1marine]

@babochureum haha No worries my friend i took this trap down

Thanks, Reggie

[narisfria07052]

dude you rock!! keep it up

[TheGods1marine]

@narisfria07052 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[TheMLBM100]

That's a painful looking blister on your left hand at 5:35

[TheGods1marine]

@TheMLBM100 yeah it was a cut from a mora :(

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[aydinsha]

great video, next time in stuck in China within a bamboo forest ill be sure to make this.

[TheGods1marine]

@aydinsha haha ok my friend, or if you are passing thought north Carolina.

Thanks, Reggie

[aydinsha]

@TheGods1marine The bamboo in N Carolina is all very near to cities since they were all spread from nurseries. Don't get me wrong, your videos are amazing and very detailed, BUT i think for the most part they are too complex for a real life "lost in what-have you" situations, there are simple things that are just as effective and won't waste time and calories. These are nice boy scout tricks but go look at any special forces and you will see much simpler survival methods.

[TheGods1marine]

@aydinsha That is true my friend however i do not teach survival i teach bushcraft

Thanks, Reggie

[aydinsha]

@TheGods1marine i see. well it is safe to say you would survive very long during a zombie apocalypse lol

[jwhamilton79]

@aydinsha i think he is smarter than the ones on tv i mean come on he prob aint fourteen he has caught stuff lay off the kid he will last,when most wont

[Oscarallknowing]

@aydinsha

Yeah ! Aydinsha your video was so much better ! You tell him !

[cjg0815]

Sometimes I watch your videos just cause that background music makes me happy :)

[TheGods1marine]

@cjg0815 haha Thank you my friend, Reggie

[IceColdNukaCola]

[TheGods1marine]

@swords9023 Thank you my friend

,Reggie

[Yulimo777]

@TheGods1marine Hello, I just wanted to know if the Mora's knives are good for bushcraft? Thank you.

[TheGods1marine]

@Yulimo777 Yes my friend they are however you must know how to care for a hi carbon steel blade if you don't it will rust up on you.

Thanks, Reggie

[Yulimo777]

@TheGods1marine well thank you mate, however i love your videos, hope you'll make new ones soon :-) !

[TheGods1marine]

@Yulimo777 Thank you my friend and more videos are coming soon.

Thanks, Reggie

[kismetashmc2]

This is tried and true lethal killing device. This was more a test of the design, concept, and fuctionality of the trap's machanics, than a working model. Anyone can pull a pointy stick back, but the gold he gave us in this video was the live visual example of the more complex than usual multiple toggle and ring trigger/tripwire design set-up. With some tweaking this trap can easily unleash more than enough kenetic force to cleanly dispatch any unwary animal. Great trap, great video Reggie.

[TheGods1marine]

@kismetashmc2 Thank you my friend

Reggie

[allyalison123]

this is a good trap.

[TheGods1marine]

@allyalison123 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[ThePremedcandy]

how did you get the spear to store enough energy to spring back so quickly? and will the force of the spear be enough to actually puncture the thick and tough hide of a pig?

[TheGods1marine]

@ThePremedcandy I doubt this would have enough power to penetrate the skin of a pig however when building this trap for the first time i manged to put a good size hole in my backpack.

Thank you my friend

Reggie

[UNIDEN2211]

Good video. Interesting experment, Good thinking - you're a  Clever lad, Yes, kind of risky because you could get something besides legal game, maybe even a dog or human. You spent a lot of time on that bushcraft project.

[TheGods1marine]

@UNIDEN2211 Thank you my and no worry i checked the law and this trap is illegal so i only practice with it and then take it down. However i must say they are fun to build and put to gather even if have to take it down after.

Reggie

[kismetashmc2]

Great vid Reggie. You know I have seen that diagram many times and this is the first time I have watched it in action. Well, with the working open to the learner, that is. Well instructed. Subbed! 

[TheGods1marine]

@kismetashmc2 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[TheKaarlson]

how many hours do you spend in the woods everyday?

[TheGods1marine]

@TheKaarlson On a day off work and school i may spend all day out in the woods

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[icrusoe]

You should setup a motion sensor hunting camera and show us if your traps work! Not this though, some of your snare traps etc

[TheGods1marine]

@icrusoe Thats a very good idea my friend i will look into it

Thanks, Reggie

[Meowskivich]

Well, that's just dandy.

[TheGods1marine]

@Meowskivich Sure is my friend Thank you

,Reggie

[IDriveCorporation]

That bamboo spear is way too thick it will hurt the pig but not penetrate enough to kill it. you could use something thinner and dry not green and your cordage is crap as well. You should also set a noose trap under it so it can´t run off.

[TheGods1marine]

@IDriveCorporation Thank you my friend i will keep that in mind, Reggie

[joshpj84]

@TheGods1marine Do you make your own cordage? If so, how?

[TheGods1marine]

@joshpj84 Sorry my friend i am still learning how to do that myself

Thanks, Reggie

[joshpj84]

@TheGods1marine Message me if you like, and I can do my best to teach you how. All you really need is access to Yucca plants.

[kismetashmc2]

@IDriveCorporation Great thoughts idc, but maybe speak to the youngster with a bit less negative wording while getting your point across.

[Ace5948]

I have seen people on Youtube build all the spear traps but never seen any of them work on a animal.

[TheGods1marine]

@Ace5948 That is true my friend because most of them are illegal.

Thanks, Reggie

[ThePeter74Peter]

The 6 "dislikes" are from pigs.

[TheGods1marine]

@ThePeter74Peter Everyone has there own opinion my friend and i respect that.

Thanks , Reggie

[heatedhonda1]

@TheGods1marine thats true thare are diferant kinds of peple they were probly just city peple who don't really like this stuff like us

[tood10000]

do more videos

[TheGods1marine]

@tood10000 coming very soon my friend very soon

Thanks, Reggie

[fullfist]

at first the music was kinda funny, but it gets annoying and repetitive pretty fast.

.

2 cents

[TheGods1marine]

@fullfist I fully agree with you my friend and i am looking for new music now also the way i'm going to edit my new videos are going to be different so that there is very little need for music.

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[ThePeter74Peter]

Please make a vid of you traping, cleaning, and cooking what ever you've been eating.

[TheGods1marine]

@ThePeter74Peter I don't live out woods my friend. go to school and have a job and everything however i do spend allot of time in the outdoors.

Thanks, Reggie

[EsclaveduSeigneur]

nice job kid ! thank's a lot for video !

[TheGods1marine]

@EsclaveduSeigneur  Your welcome my friend

,Reggie

[clanseller55]

wow reggie ure knowledge of bushcraft is amazing!

where did you learn all this stuff and do u have any usefull tips for making a pigsprear trap?

greets - john courious fan from the netherlands

[TheGods1marine]

@clanseller55 Sorry my friend all i know is what in the video.

Thanks, Reggie

[mrtongra]

if you are lost in the wilderness in North America were are you going to find bamboo? It would be more practical to use willow.

[TheGods1marine]

@mrtongra That may be true my friend i have not had much practice with willow.

Thanks, Reggie

[FactShouter]

Well Done! Seen several of your video's and would bet my bottom buck your dad is real proud of you!

With that level of knowledge - my guess is you love to hunt - just to think about it - North Carolina sells a LIFE TIME sportsman license ... bought one for my son a few years ago.

[TheGods1marine]

@FactShouter Thank you my friend however unfortunately i have never been able to go hunting but would love to!

Thanks, Reggie

[willyg63]

when i close my eyes and hear the music i imagine i think im in an imaginary kingdom

[TheGods1marine]

@willyg63 haha nice my friend, Reggie

[heatedhonda1]

whats on the outside of the hut?? is it dirt or mulch

[TheGods1marine]

@heatedhonda1 Just leaves my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[forbin80]

[TheGods1marine]

@forbin80 That's good way to get yourself hurt my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[headhunter1286]

Nice>>>>>>>

[TheGods1marine]

@headhunter1286 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[Pawnche]

[TheGods1marine]

@Pawnche Thank you my friend i will, Reggie

[21FinkPloyd12]

[TheGods1marine]

@21FinkPloyd12 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[bigbuck2881]

Thanks, Reggie

[AskMyShotgun]

are you a boy scout??

[TheGods1marine]

@AskMyShotgun sorry my friend i was never in the scouts.

Thanks, Reggie

[FishHunt95]

Lets say you don`t have bamboo! What other kind of "Sticks" can be used? btw. i live in norway

[TheGods1marine]

@FishHunt95 any of them my friend but specially willow and cedar.

Thanks, Reggie

[left4newbz]

let's say you don't have rope or twine on you in a survival situation, where do you get or find "rope" in the forest?

[TheGods1marine]

@left4newbz You can always find a natural cordage in the bust however that a hole other video that i will try to cover when i start posting again...which will be very soon

Than you my friend, Reggie

[markscott94]

Do you use the twine just for demo purposes, or do you recommend using it on weekend camping?

[TheGods1marine]

@markscott94 No my friend is not very good for weekend camping however when i made this video its all i had so i made due with what i had on hand.

Thanks, Reggie

[markscott94]

@TheGods1marine OK, what would you recommend for first timers like myself? Thank you for the reply

[TheGods1marine]

@markscott94 Just buy some small rope at Walmart its not as good as para cord but at the same time its not the price of para cord either.

Thanks my friend, Reggie

[Mathaius833]

reggie my friend, i don't thing that would penetrate skin

[TheGods1marine]

@Mathaius833 That is true my friend i would need to make better arrow and the bow would need to be stronger

,Thank you my friend, Reggie

[HappyJackProduction1]

I think it would be more practical to do this without bamboo, dont see to much in the states.

[TheGods1marine]

@HappyJackProduction1 This will work with many kinds of wood, you just have to use what you have on hand.

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[gallo1993]

what kind of knife is that



[TheGods1marine]

@gallo1993 A mora 510

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[FanFlashGil]

whaha reggie may i ask u end a replai to ur fans always the same way :p mix it up a bit ps. love ur videos

[TheGods1marine]

@FanFlashGil I will try my friend ... i mean Awesome youtuber

haha Thanks.

signed, The guy in the video

[TyRiders2]

This a out standing video,Keep up the great work

[TheGods1marine]

@TyRiders2 Thank you my friend, Reggie

[skittification]

interesting, but it does not look as though it could penetrate a hogs hide

[TheGods1marine]

@skittification That is true my friend i would need to make better arrow and the bow would need to be stronger

,Thank you my friend, Reggie

[L0L51]

bear grils subscribe to you

[TheGods1marine]

@L0L51 haha That would be interesting.

Thank you my friend ,Reggie

[noodzintheblue]

reggie please get different music

[TheGods1marine]

@noodzintheblue haha ok my friend ill work on it

[FanFlashGil]

@TheGods1marine hey reggie this is the first time that i saw one of ur vids and for some reason people are not hating on u. i really like the whole setup of ur vids and even ur midevel music :p i dont know what i have to expect if u changed it but suprise me :D

[TheGods1marine]

@FanFlashGil Thank you my friend and ill do my best

,Reggie

[kingsofcool1]

@noodzintheblue dude wtf i was thinking the same thing

[barrysbailbonds]

@noodzintheblue No, the music was awesome. I totally pictures 7 Dwarfs walking through the woods.

[retsofauhsoj101]

@barrysbailbonds And then getting caught in a pig spear trap? Yeah, I pictured the exact same thing!

[Wayon88]

Wtf carring around bamboo ? why not take a gun right away!

[TheGods1marine]

@Wayon88 This bamboo was growing on the side of the river where i built this trap so their was no need to carry it with me

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[IIDASHII]

@Wayon88

Because you have to be there for a gun to work...this is feasible only for a survival situation. I believe it would be quite illegal in most areas of the US to use this, or any other lethal trap, otherwise.

[MrShovelheaddan]

The pigs around here (East Texas and Southwest Arkansas) would run through that to get a good scratching. Great video though. I like the way you are outdoors savvy instead of sitting in front of a video game every day. I was like you when I was growing up. You make good videos. Keep 'em coming!! Later.........

[TheGods1marine]

@MrShovelheaddan Thank you my fiend and yes this trap would need much more power to stop a pig.

Thanks, Reggie

[justadbeer]

Good in theory, but hogs are VERY tough critters. That trap doesn't generate enough force and speed to penetrate a hog. You need more mass and speed. The bamboo point is to fat and will slow penetration to almost nothing. Don't let this bring you down! keep up the good work!

[TheGods1marine]

@justadbeer Thank you my friend i will defiantly remember that when working with this trap

,Reggie

[Lindzee1000]

that is an excellent trap! have you tested it? another question, can you make a trap where a spear will be springed down from a branch or so? so you could break the hogs neck bone from the skull to kill it. have you tried making a trap where a deep hole is dug then the top is covered lightly with twigs and such and the animal falls in and you come back and kill it?

[TheGods1marine]

@Lindzee1000 No sorry to say i never been able to test it because of the laws and i have heard of the pit trap but i have never gotten around to trying it.

Thank you my friend, Reggie

[mrhippy100]

Where do you live as to have so much Bamboo ? This is a great material to have when in survivor mode. Another great vid dude.

[TheGods1marine]

@mrhippy100 Thank you my friend and i live in north Carolina

,Reggie

[mrhippy100]

@TheGods1marine Thanks Regie, this is good to know, I plan on some day visiting N.C. for vacation and do some camping and fishing. These vids are pretty good and usefull even in my home state of MO. Although we got lots of rocks but your concepts are great.

[Jeffrich308]

Great Video! I wish I had Bamboo in my area,

[TheGods1marine]

@Jeffrich308 Bamboo is a great blessing my friend

Thanks, Reggie

[super125rider1]

LOL where the fuck do i get bambo from ?
