Snares


 

Warning - These are shown as methods of making snares for use in an emergency: they have been made and built in order to know how this is done. Leaving these unattended for 'practice' is totally irresponsible and should not be done. The idea is to know how and where they should be built, which will serve as knowledge if you find yourself in a survival situation. 




This is simple to make and needs only two upright sticks and a cross-piece; the snare is attached to the cross-piece which also holds a bent twig that springs upwards when the prey gets into the snare. 




This is how the cross-piece fits to the upright, cutting about half-way and cutting the crosspiece to slot in. 





The snare should be placed on a rabbit-run or near to the base of trees for squirrels. This is just one example of how to build a snare-trap.
