Video Transcription

I do this is Mitch with a native survival school today I'm going to go over the 90-degree twitch trap stay tuned

so for this trap I need a fork stick just like the zero degree twist wrap and a bait stick I also need some cordage your toggle and an engine here's my engine the sapling I have two half hitches tie it off right there some cordage that's a toggle attached to it it's my engine so the 90 degree twit strap is a modification of the zero Degree foot strap all you're doing is turning your stick 90 degrees your bait stick now it's also going to change a few other things on how your toggle works let's go over that now if I want my bait stick to be on this side I'm going to go through the opposite side with my toggle I just lock it into place by turning it sideways like so that's almost like how the trap works what I'm going to do is stick this in the way of that toggle I'm going to rotate the toggle and put the end right over it all right so now we'll locked in very hard now the further I move this bait stick down the more sensitive this trap is now I'm not going to make it very sensitive just yet so next I have to get my snare oh it's important that I follow the path of the toggle so if my toggle wants to flip out this side I have to make sure that my snare is on the side as well I don't want to put my snare this way or else it's going to drag the animal into the V and try to stick it through that hole which isn't going to happen okay so now my so my snare is going to go out the same direction as my toggle

I'm gonna lay my snare I'm gonna lay my snare right over my bait stick it's now if the animal standing inside the snare which is right here it will get caught if it has its head right here biting it's going to get caught as well so now I need to make this a little more sensitive so I'm going to hold the toggle my finger try to get it just right

one incentives possible obviously without being prone to just going off on its own so I don't want the animal to work the trap a little bit alright set says my engine bent over so the trap looks like it's the cordage using Bank line going down it's going through this side my kago is pinned on my bait stick the snare is going around this side right there

as you can see it's all around my bait stick alright some go off to the side so I'm an animal standing in oh I like what I'm eating what's this and I'm snare so I want to thank Steve Davis for working on developing these traps and teaching them to me it is appreciated well there you have the 90 degree twitch truck it's a great trap to modify a design that you already have it helps you work with not using a post if you can't get a post to work if you're on rocky ground or the angle of the game trail works better that way with a 90 degree modification instead of the zero degree just another way to get the same job done but it's also a really nice way to look at the mechanics of the trap and realize that the sky's the limit you know if you can understand how to manipulate the toggle in different directions it's really nothing that you can do with it so it's a really cool little machine and it's really simple which is the best part about it and depending on what you put for bait you can get everything from raccoon possum to small things like squirrels it's been mix with native survival school appreciate your time I'll see you in the next one take care
