What's your success rate with the figure 4, mine sucks. Maybe ill get something 1 out of 12 or 15 tries. Seems mine fall by themselves cause my bait is still on.

I would really like to start working on some of the primitive trapping skills.

Man that is classic. Thank you for the great picture because I am sure that a lot of people have only seen illustrations that just don't do it justice.

I have never actually trapped anything before. I just practice making traps and snares, just in case. The Creosote was so oily that I had to roll it in the sand to give it enough friction for it to stay together. It was very fast once the trigger was tripped. Thanks for the complements.

How is that Creosote oil on the wood for catching a spark?

Good question. At this point I do not have an answer. I will try it out as tinder in the future and let you know how it works out.
