Totally agree with what you said about 2:35 into vid about ppl running into the woods if "things go bad". I myself have had ppl argue with me that if that happens, EVERYBODY is going to run into the woods "looking for animals to eat". I keep telling them, if your used to Denny's, Safeway, and McDonald's, you're NOT going to go into the woods and turn into "Davy Crockett"! Glad to hear someone else having the same mindset. Like you (and others) say; if you don't practice the skill now, you won't have it later.

I was taught by an old trapper that you should start out with 1-330, 2-220 and 3-110s per person the you need to feed as a rule of thumb. With these traps you can keep your family in meat for a long long time.

You are a good man, Dave. Thank you for continuing to teach us instead of simply asking people to attend the classes (which I'd like to eventually do). I'm sure many have learned and thought about a lot from your videos.

Good work. The most rewarding thing in watching you Dave is your base of knowledge and the fact that you update and voice your thoughts on various subjects from different paradigms. Talking is easy........ communication is very hard. Hope you never stop making them, they keep me looking at the same problems from different angles..

Dave, I hope you don't get discouraged by some of the less polite comments you get on KZitem. These videos are great, and very helpful to guys like me who don't always think about every aspect of long term issues. For everyone who argues with you about brands or nitpicks details about efficiency or criticizes the video itself, there are 5 others who learned something useful, or can now think about the problem in a different way. On their behalf, I'd like to say, Thanks!

it's all a matter of doing things wisely and respectfully. If you eat everything in nature, you will perish rather quickly.. there is much nutrition in wild food, but also much danger. Educate yourself with trusted experience, and you will prosper. Dave teaches trapping through his collection of trusted experience. Listen to what he says.. he does what he does for specific reasons... and he shares this knowledge for our benefit... what better karma is there?

Dave, if a spring on a double long spring, or even on a coil spring looses tension over time and use, is it possible with black-smithing techniques to slowly and evenly heat the spring just below orange hot, then slowly cooling it in boiling water to restore original spring tension on those types of traps, and will you be discussing and showing that on your black-smithing series?

Hey Dave! It occurs to me, since longevity of service is wanted, why not replace the screws with stainless steel hex head bolt and nut before even using your trap? That looks like a #12 pan head machine screw. A #12 hex head would be a 5/16" head and nut which is a common size for many other mechanicals, so this would hold with the two is one ideology. Flat heads and even Phillips head screws are notorious for stripping and so are much less reliable.
