deadfalls and speartraps on youtube (light, best, animals)

[zonest]

man, you need a LOT more weight than they are showing, or your animal is going to escape wounded from the deadfall. Best add several stake/spears to such a lightweight deadfall. Also, for the "bamboo whip', or swinging spear trap, better add some foot snares, set up 2-3" from the surface, on forked sticks, and tie the other ends of the snares to a drag log. In that manner, the animal will exhaust itself, while leaving an obvious trail for you to follow. With tallow or wax on the cable/wire, snares will last forever in your buried drum of materials caches. No animal will bother to dig them up.

When you have say, 40 snares, trotlines and nets set out, spread out in a "4 leaf clover" fashion, you're going to have some fish or game to eat, every day and such lines can be serviced at night, greatly increasing your chances of not getting shot, post shtf.

If you're not going to go to the trouble of caching food long term, then you'd better at least cache some ways to CATCH food, and have buried empty drums as a way to store preserved food, where animals, moisture and insects won't ruin it.

Zonest seems to have gone away

[MTSilvertip]

He does that a lot.
Gunkid has been here several times using several names. He gets busted and goes away until he thinks up a new screen name.

Just like athlete's foot, he'll be back.
