page mcnitt a survival today I'm going to be going over a treeless spring snare trap don't go away okay so basically the point of this vid is to make a spring snare trap when you're not near trees so no me you've bent over a sapling to be your engine for your force but this trap will basically work in a field or anywhere where you don't have a sapling handy so this is my engine right here I put two stakes in and they counter force each other so they pin the stick where it is and it's almost like a bow where it bends back so this is where I time I cordage now I have to keep the cordage parallel to the ground so then I make why stick put the clothes underneath then I head straight up onto my tripod right here then the cord goes straight down to my toggle I'll show you guys right over here which is the standard toggle where my cordage comes down right here with my toggle and we have a nice little necks ner right here ok so again quick rundown this tripod is creating the angle to go down just like a tree would then all I have to do is create tension and that's what I did with the bent stick right here so that creates tension and if my rope goes straight to the tripod without the Y stick at the bottom the stick is going to want to pull up not in the direction I want to pull see that so I want to pull this way and be nice and power to the ground nice and clean then it goes up here right back down to my trigger ok so give you a quick close up of the engine so as I pull on the cord you can see it creates tension and wants to whip back so there's my engine all right i'll set it off okay so i have a wide stake here toggle tied to the bank line going up and over my bait stick and my Slipknot snap it's very common toggle so now I'm snare all right so so when you use this often used system and you think of other ways to use it you make it easier on yourself so I just want to share it share that with you guys and you know this is this has been done before obviously everyone's seen this I just wanted to show how it can also be used with a treeless engine or else benvenuto survival appreciate your views comments need support I just want to share this treeless version of the spring trap take care you
