   too bad you didn’t actually show HOW to make that snare, that might be useful for somebody that doesn’t already know how to make a slip knot.

   You want your traps simple, expecially your triggers. I agree that spring based is good for most animals but not necessary for rabbits. Rabbits will pull and pull and strangle themselves to death. They don’t realize that if they stood still and chewed on the cord that they would live.

   yep, i think this is a technique everybody should know, for safety you know… but if i may add: hares, squirells, walking birds or other small creatures, always tent to take the easy way, so you can influence that. make the other ways hard to pass, then they will see your trapped way as the only one and will certainly take that way. offcourse its the best to put it on an existing trial, but when you cant find that, make sure the only way for the animal is to walk YOUR planned route.

    Good info when in a pinch. A good idea when your going to be far enough away from civilization that you may need to hunt for food is to bring a roll of snare wire. It’s cheap, and it works. It’s best to set these on well worn trails. Rabbits/hares tend to make very distinguishable pathways and follow them when not fleeing danger a good portion of the time.
