primitive snaring

Russ:
Oooooo! Cool!

GlisGlis:

that could be a good solution.
I'm not sure though that making holes is a fast solution to produce many snares in primitive conditions (without a steel awl)

GlisGlis:
just found on youtube a guy snaring with sinew cordage (search for "lynx sinew snare" or "squirrel sinew snare")
So primitive snaring is a thing
I also made some elm bark cordage. That stuff is really strong even at very thin diameter.
I think it's definitly usable for snaring and for bow string too
