We had some Brazilian Cherry wood left over from a project. It's very strong and stands up well to the elements, so we set up an assembly line and fabricated a bunch of figure four trap triggers. They should be good supplements to the snares in our survival kits and camping gear. They only weigh a few ounces, and don't take up much space.

These are a half-inch square. The bait stick is a foot long, and the other two components are eight inches each. I think that's a good size for squirrels and rabbits.

I've never seen a prettier figure four deadfall in all of my life.

Hmm, if I tied a round of 5.56 on the bait stick, I could probably flatten you like a possum on I-95.

I am reading SAS Survival Handbook right now, book has an ass load of natural traps. Some like this, some very elaborate. Good read recommend it to anyone.

Figure 4 can be used for more than just deadfalls
