Hi...

Today I went out to practice making deadfall traps. Took my knife and SAK and went out. The first I wanted to practice was this: http://i.timeinc.net/fieldstream/images_small/os_twostick.jpg
Made it exactly as the picture says. Succeded!! :biggthump :biggthump :super:

Next I wanted to try was a 'promontory peg', which is a deadfall made of 1 single stick. The pictures are near the bottom of this page: http://www.bill-hay.com/Lake.htm
It also succeded!! :naughty: :biggthump :eek:):

BUT........... There's always a 'but'! :p When I tried to make a figure-4 deadfall, I didn't succed.....! :cry: But found out later that I had made a mistake... I'm sure it works next time! :biggthump

Tomorrow it's a camp gadget and cooking over fire...! Wait and see. :wink: :wink:

Cheers :uu:

Well done Andy! I also tried making the figure 4 deadfall yesterday and was also unsuccessful, practice makes perfect as they say.

Good traps! I made a lot of figure-4 traps, but I didn't know about these 2. Seems I got homework. :biggthump
