Last spring I made a "Log Cabin" type cage trap that is illustrated in the SAS Survival Handbook by John Wiseman. Here's my attempt at it.

I underestimated the amount of time I thought this would take and I was beginning to develop a blister on my index finger from pulling the lashings tight.

A LOT OF STINKIN' LASHINGS! ...and they gotta be tight otherwise the cage will not be rigid.

Now all I gotta do is put a roof on this cage and I'll be ready to catch some critters!

Man, I'm glad I brought my FAK I put a strip of mole skin on my index finger that blister was screaming. The roof is half done and can almost taste the succotash I'ma be make out of those critters I'm gunna be catching with this here rig!

Finally it's done!

The figure 4 trigger.

I bated it with a Frito!

Look's like I got all the right components necessary. All in all it took me a littler under 5 hours from start to finnish.

Thanks for checkin' out my attempt at the Log Cabin style cage trap!
