LOL! Now those would be handy for removing ticks and lice "In the bush"
A book from my youth,yes we had books back then,called where the red fern grows,tells of using nails to trap raccoons in hollow logs with nails.
In my smallest kit I use a 5x7 tarp that is small for most sets but I use 3 nails to drive into fallen trees to hold one side of tarp to make a leanto. I like your idea using eye screws better and will be giving it a try. They should save weight, be easier to remove, and hold better. Thanks!Quote:

Dang it! My wife has a similar device. She has a hole in the front of the fridge with a beer inside. I can grab the beer but I can't get it through the hole. I've worked for hours trying to get that thing out.
Guess I will putting a few nails in the haversack.
All the old timers, Kephart, Nessmuk, etc., wrote about routinely carrying nails in their packs for shelters, traps, furniture, etc. I never have done that, figured it's just more weight, and I'd need to carry something to drive them in with. I just carry paracord and some snare wire.
Might re-think that, and add a few nails to the pack.
I keep a few various size nails. 16d and below. Also I have some military trip line kits that have a few nails in them as well. Works awesome for snares along with a lot of other uses.
Isn't this how the kid caught the raccoon in Old Yeller to teach the dog how to track the animal? I think it was Old Yeller, or some very similar book I read in the 80s as a child.
funny enough, I remember reading about this technique in "where the red fern grows" as a kid.. you can toss anything shiny in the bottom of that hole too..
The only nails (16d and above) that we carry are for my bride's breakfasts.:thumbdown:
That's the book I was thinking about. I haven't read either in 20 or more years. So everything kind of blurs into one.Quote:

Due to the fact that I grew up in Long Beach California I never got to try it but always planned on it. I remember when I asked my Granddad about it, he told me that monkeys are trapped in a similar way .As far as "is it legal", a game warden here in Texas told me that I should look into the methods of take in the regulations and if the method is NOT covered there it is unlawful and I will get a ticket. And in the book, the bait was a shiny piece of metal.
