And what did you do with the sparrow? I hope you didn't just let it go to waste...

Cool! Maybe a person could catch something as big as a squirrel with a rat trap?
no it didnt go to waste. i used it for snake food. and yes ppl do catch squirrels,thats next
I thought snakes liked to eat prey that they killed?

they do but my snake will eat any type of kill whether dead or alive....alive is funner to watch
Yes, I just read how to train them to eat already dead prey.
Funner? Maybe not the word I would have used. But maybe interesting since that's how nature intended it.

Keep up the learning process, But us what you get. Know what I mean!
kill all the sparrows you want! Damn nuisance nest raiders... You know the English Sparrow is well known for pushing out native spices of wrens and other songbirds in the west...

i have thought about puting one of my mouse traps in my survival bag. not bad
I added one to my Bugout bag a while back, and MAN, that thing hurts when it goes off.
...last time I try to sneak an energy bar, thats for sure.
It could be that the purpose of your life is merely to serve as a warning to others.
Now that there's funny, I don't care who you are.
Read about using rat traps to catch squirrels somewhere. You can nail them to a tree that the squirrels regularly use. Most are made of thin wood that needs to be drilled first to allow the nail to go through without cracking. Same hole can be used to tether the trap to a stake, root, or whatever. Dirty them up a little, so they don't stick out visually too much, bait with peanut butter or other suitable food. Also, use "rat" traps, not the tiny plastic ones for mice. Read where a person used one of the little plastic ones tied to a tree. They went to check their trap the next morning. They were astonished to see a large, VERY irritated, and very much alive squirrel with the trap stuck around its head. It was strong enough to grab its head, but not kill it. Of course they let that one go since they figured it was troubled enough by the experience.
Snare wire and the knowledge to use it in multiple locations would be best.He who have fuller mind have lighter pack.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Tell them Kevin sent you!!
A rat trap is perfect for your kit. It has multiple uses besides just for trapping. Start a fire with the wood, needles, hooks, lures- see where I am going with this? I'd still carry snare wire too.

Multiple uses - yep. You can even protect your supplies with them.
