This Hand-Tied Net Trap is for the Birds!

Published 2022-01-07
With a hand tied net, you can easily make this effective primitive trap for birds. If you were in a survival situation, the ability to make improvised traps and especially a bird trap could be very beneficial. Primitive survival skills are important to know in the event that you have very limited resources to work with. If you do have access to cordage, being able to improvise a net can help you to trap not only birds, but other small animals as well. This net trap uses a spring pole setup aka twitch up as an engine to make it easy to catch or snare birds. If you don't know how to hand tie a net, check the video just before this one to learn.

Nothing like a small family-run business. They are one of the cornerstones of Traditional Society. Long may Jason and his family prosper!

That’s a cool trip system. I need to practice my sewing. Had a grandfather and uncle that shrimped and made nets . They taught my father quite a bit. I have a buddy that’s a squirrel hunting nut , he’ll love this . Have a great evening

That's a cool trap and liked the net tutorial. Maybe you could wedge a stick under that bottom bar while you're setting up the trap. That would keep you from triggering it during setup and then remove at the end.

Great lessons on this and the last video. I've never tried making a net, and not sure I'll have the patience for doing it. But going to give it a shot, it's a definite good skill to at least have a working knowledge of. Thanks!!

Great video Matt. "I love it when a plan comes together". This was a great follow-up to your Net Making video. I admire your humility about your limitations (net making), but also your willingness to develop them into a strength. Thank You, have a safe weekend, and Rich Blessings. From South Texas

THANK YOU so much for your time and interest! I didn't discuss BAITING the trap in this video as I did in the previous platform trap video as baiting is inferred. You could use seeds, granola, insects, berries, little pieces of bread, etc. The toggle is a great place to position your bait or just spread it on the platform. I appreciate your support.
