The Kleptsy Trap with Promontory Peg Trigger.wmv

[26stayfrosty]

Hey Dave! what kind of bait would be good for this kind of trap?

[jhonnydonot]

hey dave, i added a few things to this trap, insted of useing one peace of string on the spring i used several to create more power, i however had to create larger notches to acomidate the string. for the killing device i traded up to a sharpened deer antler that i use for an awl as well as flint knapping. hope this is helpful, thanks for all the vids

[bikenutter1]

String loaded kill point has enough strike force to pierce thick fur animals? I'm a novice but I'd have to question that. Possibly add a barb to kill tip to hook prey in place also? Many thanks.

[BostonReaper1]

Great stuff love the free info

[hardhatg69]

you are an awesome teacher. any time you teach something like this, whether here or on the show im left few if any questions( normally just my o.c.d.,lol) only thing i was wondering is would a bleed channel in the kill stick work or do you think its too thin? i would deff fire harden it tho..always get a sharper point..thanks again for the awesome vids

[ProphetChaser]

You have the same watch I do.

[jlindner87]

Lashing your Bushmaster Spearpoint for the killing device would make for one nasty trap.

[Smegger]

Great video as always Dave , i have learnt alot from all your video's and glad to see your still doing youtube even with the success of dual survival .

[soulcollecter1329]

Very nice trap. Going to have to try this one. U r the best Dave. And thanks to the fellow who showed it to you. That's part of the main purpose of pathfinder. Passing on tribal knowledge.

[Lancekkilmer]

I spend a lot of time researching different bushcraft skills and your videos are great for learning from. You take your time and fully explain each aspect. Thank you.

[jasonthephoneboy]

Awesome trap Dave, I have been playing with this trap. What I have come to find is by pulling the swing stick around to between the pressure sticks, make your trigger stick a dogbone trigger. Attach the string onto the part that has the steak on it. cut off extra string. When the animal steps on the trigger or touches the trigger with its head to eat the bait, the arm swings 270+ degrees striking the animal. This method would be for larger game. but would kill if a head shot is made.

[chazmyrtormtor]

The trigger for this is the same as a friction point split stick trigger like I did a video on recently. Very cool.

[fridaysnewspaper]

Hey Dave, Is it better to set up different types of traps or one that is trusted and reliable?

Thank you and Great video !

[babalonkie]

I love watching these vids, i could sit here all day watching them. I like that they are high quality too. :)

[steinderbush]

Very nice trap Dave !! If you want more power you can enlarge the whole trap i guess and maybe fork the killing stick!! Maybe you could kill a small piggie with it !?? What do you think ??Good luck tou you!!

[42kws]

What is the knife around your neck? It looks like a BHK I have but I can't tell for sure.

[bobfreaky09]

Thanks, cool trap but I don't think it would have enough force to actually kill the animal. Nice watch too I got the same one but I think the should re- engineer the temperature device.

[truemonster1]

i like the handle on your axe. where oh were did you get that? what type \ brand of axe is that?

[Raioh87]

Hey dave, does your camera has a swiveling lcd screen? I think that'll help a lot when you're recording tutorial videos where you need to be in front of the camera so you'll know the crucial part of the tutorial is clear and on-screen, just a suggestion:)

[macy725]

It seems a trap that small would only be good for birds or very small mammals, and a trap more suitible for larger animals would also be dangerous to me when i'm setting it up! But it's a great trap though.

[ldmak90]

Just curious if you would get better or worse results by setting the trigger stick under the short end of the killing device rather than at the sharp end of the killing device?? Not even sure if this trap would work that way but would there be a benefit to the killing device having more rotation power or would the delay of the rotation allow the animal to possibly quickly move away?? Hope I'm explaining this right. great vid as usual brother.

[ratlefty]

Cool the only problem I see is it spiking u by chance

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

hello Dave. how about avoiding the two piece and a string killing device by making it out of natural branching? sure the search for the right piece of wood would be less hassle.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@DudeNumberOnePlus That would work well if you founf the correct piece for sure.

[zugzwangish]

@wildernessoufitters

Hey Dave, this is a really great trap! I spent some time and created one, and it works great. However, I did one modification/improvement that make the trap far more deadly. For the killing device on the trap I used a 1/4 piece of hardwood dowel with a hunting arrow broadehad on the end. This is something you could carry in your pack, or you could even sacrifice and actual arrow in a self reliance situation. Just a thought, thanks again, cheers.

[BigSlimmyD]

Man, thats an great trap. Thanks for the video.

[Waldhandwerk]

Great Idea! Thanks for showing. ATB Sepp

[Trustme722]

Hey Dave i've been a subscriber since close to the beginning and its great to see you haven't lost touch with your roots. But in keeping with the common man theme i was wondering if you could could point me towards a bushcraft axe that's $40 or under. Thanks!

[wildernessoutfitters]

@Trustme722 Thats tough 40 bucks is not alot for a good axe, Truper brand Axes are not horrible and they are less than 20, just make sure you have a wood handle you can replace in an emergency

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

@Trustme722 Got husquarna hatchet, its not great, but better than CheapChinessePotSteelCrap sold ordinary, price was some 30-40.

[NPSurvival]

@Trustme722 You might want to look at Cold Steel axes and tomahawks, I have some experience with them and they have never let me down.

[bigbob6556]

Dave! Your badass man, i watch Dual Survival EVERY week. Keep the show going!

[TheSchutes]

Your camera is providing excellent visuals! I feel like I am sitting right there. One question; bankline is tarred you said, I have never come across is before. It is NOT hootchie or tarp cord, obviously. It's designed use is what please? (Trying to source some locally). It was good to see the axe used as a hammer, it seems an overlooked benefit I think. Good idea about preparation. Thanks!

[wildernessoutfitters]

@TheSchutes Tarred Bank/Net line is made for Marine Applications you can find it at Bass Pro and Some times Walmart, or on my web site buddy.

[mihacurk]

@wildernessoutfitters Is it nylon or some other material? I've found something similar to bank line but knots are not holding very good unless I melt ends with a match. But I made this trap and it is a pretty fascinating thing. It is actually a killing device. Greetings from Slovenia!

[ER720]

good stuff brother !! and i see you added a few new tattoos to the collection !!

[bill65761]

How does bank line compare / differ from 550? Could I substitute 550 in this trap?

[mark01318]

@bill65761 550 is much thicker

[masonmeep]

great vid

[tdegazio]

vector hawk?

[Tux3d0]

You got 2 new tattoos One Reptile and Iris? o.O

[GrimLP]

Great video Dave, thanks. A couple of questions for ya if I may:

1) That land is really beautiful, what's a rough estimate of the cost per acre? I need to get out of this desert.

2) I noticed some new ink on your forearm there, what species of reptile is that?

Thanks again.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@GrimLP 1. Depends on location and resources 5,000+, 2. Gator

[Jrsdrums]

Dave, I just wanna thank you for all the time you've taken to make these videos. It's so awesome that when not filming Dual Survival, you're still hard at work educating and helping people sharpen their outdoor/survival skills.

[Eddiefry]

would like to see you try some of these on dual survival some time.

[ewtoutdoors]

Thanks man, your vids are great. Your like a hero to Bushcraft. Take care and have a great day. Appreciate your dedication and efforts.

[dlvmark]

Sweet! I has wondering when you were going to post a new video. Great job!

[survivalmike]

REALLY NICE trap Dave! Never seen this before and I have to say I like it alot!

thx for showing us this type of trap

ATB from Austria

Mike

[sdksniper]

I love your videos Dave, I love learning from you. Thank you very much brother.

[snaponjohn100]

Great video, Dave. I'll see you this fall. :-)

Have a blessed week. John

[24JoeyL]

great video and cool trap but a bit complicated, seems like a dead fall would be easier and more affective, to many variables none the less great idea

[danthman114]

the viet cong used similar methods for their traps

[Texasoutback]

would like to se this trap used in Dual Survival

[hereforareasonunown]

whould like to see the after math of your traps in play

[iShemagh]

Dave once gave a box of old watches to a group of kids. These kids are now know as the Power Rangers.

Awesome Show and videos Dave.

[armouredcockroach]

Hi Dave that was Brilliant thanks very much for sharing,

PS Glad the Gathering went well Blessings Michael S

[MrJoeyBoombotz]

The Bow Saw Trap!!! You could use a nail or 2 instead as well!! Excellent idea and video! Would be good to have a few around the camp to kill vermin or get small game.Thank you for all you do. I love Dual Survivor and the videos by all of your graduates of your school, too. They put out hi quality outdoors-men vids!! Kudos and congratulations on all of your well deserved success.

[wilderness636]

what kine of game will this trap kill

[HuhaMaza]

Dawi here, that size kleptsy is more for animals the size of possums and raccoons. I have made a smaller version for squirrels. These were traditionally used in the far north on wolves and even reputedly small bears. The size just needs to be scaled to whatever you are targeting. I use paracord, and I do 3 wraps around the posts, this gives more mass to the spring and exponentially increases the resistance, making it faster and stronger, and faster to set. This is here to make you think! Create!

[ja2595]

Alright, 2 things. 1: What kind of hawk is that?

2: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe you said the the killing device would be able to complete one whole swing before impaling the animal. But in the slow motion portion of the video, it seems that the killing device would only be able to move roughly 90 degrees before coming in contact with the prey. I don't know, maybe i just misunderstood what you said. But nonetheless, great video. Keep up the good work Dave.

[boomer00000]

I The only problem I see with this trap is the clearance from the ground you need to set it. If its something small like a rat or something i dont think that it will swing low enough to get the animal.... i might try it by winding up the trap then pounding in the pegs a little further so when it it releases it buries itself in the ground a bit and basically impales the animal or at the very least pins it.

[lobo25111967]

good trap !!!

[JOCAMPO87]

Great vid Dave..Thanks

[MTNMANTIM]

cool trap, i like it. thank you for the well presented info.

Tim

[SurvivalOberschwaben]

Hey! How are you? I´m fine! I have one question, Where can I buy cheap and a lot of this rope? I hope you can help me!

ATB Gabriel from Germany

[survival919]

very cool trap. I have two questions. What kind of boots are you wearing? And what is the deal with that new hawk? thank you for all you do. nice vid!

[maethorize]

@ErnieCosmo If you're able to turn a 12ft log that weighs about 200lbs around an anchor point that is 15ft above ground level, I think you could.

[BSRadar100]

My concern would be if the animal was larger his body would not leave enough room for the killing stick to gain enough momentum for penetration. I like the idea of this trap though. Maybe if you made the components of the trap taller and weighted the back side of the killing stick with a stone to help sink the stick in it would be more effective on larger animals like possums or coons. Just a thought.

[seanmulhall]

I saw this trap at the gathering. I was surprised how sensitive and devastating this trap could be.

[Naturliebe]

Hello Dave,

nice idea. A truly ingenious trap. Wonderfully explained.

Thanks.

Greetings Tito

[forestkobold]

can i make the same trap with 550 para coord???

[HoosierSurvival]

Well done Dave. Looking forward to trying this out.

[chaconfc13]

so you could make that trap as big as you wanted to pity much for game about nee high

[roughinitoutdoors1]

how sharp do you need the killing devise to be?

[Ilovetheplatypus]

Have you ever saw this trap work before? It seems like there are a lot of things that could go wrong with it, and it's more difficult to set up than any other trap I've seen. Also, what size game is this intended to kill?

[markshmily]

Cool trap!

Thanks for showing it to us Dave!



[pedestrian0101]

nice freshy on you arm!

[ThePatriotGunner]

Great tutorial with this trap set up and design and further operational. We all appreciate all you contribute on your channel and thanks for sharing.

[DukeSilverTrio]

Great video. 2 quick questions:

What cordage did you use here?

What was that introduction song to this upload?

Thanks.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@DukeSilverTrio Bankline Cordage, not sure about the song purchased from the web brother

[megalizardfreak]

@wildernessoutfitters can u reply to my comment plz or pm me

[tdegazio]

@DukeSilverTrio tarred nylon twine, i think

[wILLiamking777]

very slick trap id maybe split the kill stick and sharpen the points kinda like you do with a fishing spear id think it would have less chance of missing very slick trap though.love the vids and you and the hippie crack me up good stuff.

[tylerdurden1971]

@wildernessoutfitters Dave, What Neck Knife Are You Useing? Thanks

[mikemike1225]

That's one bad ass trap !!!

[IVOIPSG]

Dave What BHK Knife was it?

[wildernessoutfitters]

@IVOIPSG Mini Brumby

[jokertim777]

I have to say I was really expecting you to point the bait stick 180 degrees from where you did. When you first described the trap, I imagined the head of the animal between the two upright pegs and the killing stick to be released right at its head.

If you do it your way, would you use sticks to funnel the animal into the best killing position? Otherwise it just seemed like you could miss the animal with it so open like that.

Thanks for sharing another trap.

[wildernessoutfitters]

@jokertim777 It will work either way the point you make is good, although depending on angularity it can be a difficult set at 180.

[landroamer1000]

what are those heart shaped plants around your trap? ive seen them around here.

[freedoomed]

neat trap, i like it!

[copperpees]

hey MR. canterberry. Do you teach classes on wilderness survival. if so were?

[wildernessoutfitters]

@copperpees Ohio, you can see the Hands on training schedule on our website, the link is above.

[nick617617]

is that the knife you used in mexico? if not what did u use?

[wildernessoutfitters]

@nick617617 I used a Habilis Bushtool

[sevengable]

DAVE! That may be the coolest thing I have ever seen. The second coolest thing I have ever seen is the new Tat- the Iris brand. Nice ink brother. Where did this Dawi dude learn this trap?

[megalizardfreak]

dave not to be rude but do u think u could review the tops Steel Eagle 111A in Hunter's Point

[ewetubesuxass]

Sweet little trap!

[sigma3survivalschool]

That is not an effective killing trap. I going to go out of the norm and not be the yes man on this post. I am somewhat of a trapping expert and the only thing that trap is going to do is potentially maim the animal. I wouldn't recommend actually using that trap in a survival situation. And I don't think dave would use it either. Now I could see that being used on a much larger scale for man trapping by posting it between two trees above a walkway on some kind of trip line. Just my two cents!

[wildernessoutfitters]

@sigma3survivalschool As I said below brother I think for a Rabbit it would work fine for tougher and larger game you would need to scale the trap and use a broadhead or metal spearpoint to the killing device itself. Thanks for posting brother.

[sigma3survivalschool]

@wildernessoutfitters Well the problem with spear type traps is that they wound the animal. Just like a bow and arrow doesn't immediately drop a deer. I would bet a hundred bucks that 9 out of 10 times the animal would get hit and would not be pegged to the trap. The only tension on the trap to keep it pegged is the tension on the cordage. And most animals flop unbelievably. That is why you can't use modern snares more than once because they thrash wildly! But either way I like the trapping vids

[brutallindigo]

I had to add to this to my favorites ..Thanks for sharing Dave ....I wonder instead of bank line if surgical tubing would work?I always carry some of that in my kit too.I have a few ground hogs invading the garden HMMmmmm ha! ha !

[wildernessoutfitters]

@brutallindigo It would work for sure but the winding may be an issue to get the same speed. Worth a try for sure!

[achborkah]

Nice to see you still sporting the Vec hawk there. Is that the same one you did a test video on a couple of years ago?

[wildernessoutfitters]

@achborkah Yes it is, every once in a while I break it out for a run! LOL

[briargoatkilla]

cool. i bet a nail driven through your spinner thing would pin 'em down good. small and light weight too. i'm gonna try it.

[herpingmad145]

what bhk neck knife are you wearing? and wha knives did you have at the pathfinder gathering

[wildernessoutfitters]

@herpingmad145 It is the Mini Brundi Neck Knife and I was carrying a New Prototype Jungle Knife at the Gathering brother.

[ausurvival]

Thanks David. Nice trap. Its an easy one to picture in my head so I can remember it easily. Reminds me of a buck saw.

[muddog1561]

Cool trap, I'll remember this.

[hemicudaware]

you can see his scar from when he cauterized his wound on dual survival at 8:10

[jmg1957]

dave ,..great job...peace from mississippi...jimbo

[Greatbloke]

Nice looking trap. Time consuming as you said, but easy to remember how to make, and fast and easy to reset.

[acemech777]

Thank you for the trap. I have not used one like that before, I will give it a try on my next outing. Always keep your powder dry.

[wildernessoutfitters]

I think this trap is very viable for Rabbits, squirrels are a bit tougher but a Broadhead or Pathfinder Sper Point as a Killing device would work well even for coon I would say.

[pranachimana]

great as always Dave. Thumbs up

[jjungill]

Got some new Tattoos Dave?, nice.

[suaverider]

Nice :-)

[hillbillybushcraft]

Great info thanks

[SsjSned]

[SsjSned]

@STLmaniac6 cool beans thanks

[MrJPort10]

Nice

[trevor6744]

very cool



[TheSurviver72]

Great trap!

[Urudrim]

thanks for sharing. one more idea to add to my repertoire and maybe i'll try to catch that pesky rabbit who's eating all my bean and sunflower plants.

[JemarqueMarquis]

@Urudrim im trying to catch the beans and sunflowers that are eating all my rabbits. I have genetically modified plants.

[Angelsigns2012]

You could also get your woman to check the traps, clean the animal, and cook you a meal while sitting back at base camp. :D

[Deathtakeslast]

Bait set on the stick before its set ? lol

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@Deathtakeslast as always.......

[FreedomRoar]

Nice work as always, very interesting. Keep up the good work we all appreciate it.

Greeting and thanks from Slovenia
