Emphasis is on building a solid foundation in the ‘art of primitive survival trapping’ lecture and field study.
This one-day Oregon trapping course focuses on the use of trapping in a primitive survival situation. We will learn to make simple but successful primitive traps. Traps are used to harvest wildlife for food in an emergency survival situation.
Survival trapping is important to short and long-term survival. Knowledge and understanding of what trap to use and where to set it trains for success.
Primitive snares
Snares are traps that use a slipknot, or noose made from plant fiber or wire, that when tripped tightens around the animal's neck and chokes it quickly.
Deadfalls
- Deadfalls are traps that use a heavy weight like rocks or logs to crush the animal.
- You will be learning how to make and set primitive traps for survival purposes only.
- We do not trap animals on this course.
The Hunt
Traps can kill indiscriminately. We have a responsibility to domestic animals and wildlife. When practicing with traps, do not leave set traps unattended. It's your responsibility to understand and follow all local, state, and federal game trapping laws.
Fun Fact. Some plants hunt using special ways to trap their food such as the Cobra Lily A native plants that traps insects to eat.
