No disrespect mate but these are the sort of things that should stay in the movies, firstly you'll soon scare off any potential prey as once a deer has tripped your Uzi banger it's not on a be back for a long long time. Chances are you'll not remember where every trap is once you've got a bit malnourished and could end up setting off your own Rambo traps. Then your malnourished, injured or partially deaf and anyone nearby will come to find what's happened and either end up injured and unable to help you or walk right in and take your stuff and leave you for dead.

This is why I believe small groups or communities are the way to go as there is safety in numbers. It's all well setting these traps but could you live with finding a child caught up in one? I know I couldn't and I doubt most could traps are for food weapons are for defence.

Im not having a dig if that's the way you think you need to survive good luck, I wish you all the best.
