The Paiute deadfall trap, also known as the Death Fall, is a traditional hunting device that employs a weighted stick to capture prey. This ingenious setup involves tying one end of cordage to a diagonal stick and the other to a shorter catch stick. The bait stick, placed strategically, triggers the trap when disturbed, allowing the diagonal stick to rapidly rise, releasing the weight to crush the unsuspecting prey. Master this method for efficient trapping, whether for survival skills or outdoor adventures.
