Comments on: Traditional Squirrel Deadfall http://livingprimitively.com/2007/01/traditional-squirrel-deadfall/ We are a group of people who are passionate about the old skills of living in and with nature. We don´t live in the same area, but instead work in different environments and have different approaches to what we do. With this site we´d like to share our passion with the larger world and connect with like minded people. Posting might be infrequent, because our lifestyle doesn´t involve internet access at all times.

After the trap is sprung, are you just using gravity to kill the critter?<br /><br />What if you use lashings to tension the split logs together? Would that help? Interesting.
