Not a snare, but a very effective small game trap/deadfall
Ed Brooks:
Shawn Woods, on yew tube has cool primitive traps, and uses them on video. Not sure he uses natural cordage but you can. I’ve also seen on, one of the history channel shows, they used willow branch to make a snare and catch or “ have a rabbit in it” at least. Good luck! Ed
Marc St Louis:
Dead falls don't work in the winter when snow is on the ground.
GlisGlis:
thnakyou Ed I follow Shawn videos. Probably a version of the deadfalls scissor could be the ticket for small and medium game in primitive situation
thankyou Sidmand
I already knew of koolymka from the documentary "Happy people. a year in the taiga". A real good movie
Mesophilic:
What about a noose like the one I made below? It slides fine with coarse commercial made grass twine. I'm sure you could polish/burnish the wood around the hole a bit to make it even more slippery for use with handmade cordage.
