Snares & Traps

Various traps for survival situations include the spring snare, which flings prey off the ground when triggered, and the baited snare, which uses bait to release the mechanism. The leg snare utilizes a forked stick to capture game, while the platform trap uses a depressed platform to trigger the trap. Deadfall traps like the figure 4 and tripwire deadfall employ heavy weights to capture game. The spear deadfall adds sharpened sticks for more impact, and the sprung spear trap uses a spring-loaded mechanism. The baited hole noose targets scavengers.
