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.

to right UN, totaly agreed. in most situations simply guarding is enough. but in light of some one needing ideas of how traps work and or can be made from, i fired off a few ideas into the arena to give others something to go on. the thing to remember is as you said is if what i would call a sivi falls into your set trap then you risk all! i stress that even though alot of the info and ideas i post can be lethal and or fatal. NO ONE, should attempt any unless tshtf and they feel that their or their familys lifes are at risk.

It's just different schools of thinking mate if i knew it was coming id set traps but its too risky to permanently leave them set.

if you want any ideas though there is a book called 'man trapping' by Ragnar benson I've got one called 'survival trapping' by him which is a great book so I'm sure 'man trapping' won't disappoint.
