As a logger we used to use this same method on a much larger scale to stabilize the trees our blocks and lines were tied into from the yarder.. This was a two man job to install and uninstall, and both men had to be careful each time to not slip a grip and get killed when that line is tight... Good times!

Great idea. Also if you temper the tip of the spike to make it harder it would have a better chance of not breaking the tip off when it strikes the animal.

It most defiantly will do what it's designed to do. You just have to make sure that the kill is quick with no suffering.

I agree 100%. That is the greatest concern for me. I never like to kill anything honestly and would only use this type of device in the most dire of circumstances. I would hope above all things for a clean kill in that situation and minimal suffering for the animal. Thank you for you time and interest Daniel.

Black Hat Bushcraft , I don’t think this nimalZwill have the desired effect with the spike angle. There is a significant danger of wounding / maiming an animal. You can demonstrate this for yourself by showing this exact setup striking a harder target like an apple.

Great, great job. Your videos are so much clearer and more concise than most of the other bush-craft channels. This looks like the simplest and most effective of these primitive types of traps I have seen. Do you think cordage made from green tree bark would provide enough KE? I don't see a reason as to why not.

Very nice and simple set up. I am not a trap expert. From simple observation What if the animal comes from the side? You might try adding a couple of more spikes on either side of your primary spike. To add width to your killing area. Also you mentioned that it might kill by simply knocking the animal out. Would adding a small amount of weight like a small stone to the top of the spike make it more like a hammer driving a nail?
@Modern_Warrior_School

I'm not an expert either, but if the trap was set the same way as in the video (with the extra half turn), I believe adding a stone to the spiked side may counter act the windlass, slowing it down. If you have access to larger stones, it may be easier to make a "#4" type trap.

Do you I think you would have better results if you used multiple prongs or a forked barb? If three or four prongs don't impale the animal to kill it, I would think that it would at least pin it to the ground. With the windlass turned a few more times, it would have a whole bunch of stored up latent energy still that would make it very hard for any animal pinned to get out.

@grandwonder5858

I don't think this trap work as well as those spring-loaded twitch snares or a Mojave Scissor Trap because the spike has to hit the animal perfectly in order to make a kill. You could hit an animal on its shoulder, part of its back, a leg, etc and not make a kill, but end up injuring an animal for life for no reason. I like a snare-type trap or a Mojave Scissor Trap a lot better because the areas in which an animal could be caught and killed are much bigger. Plus, once they are caught you know they are going to die and not merely injured.
