Never caught anything. It was just for practice. 
 |  | Well, it may only take you a few tries to get your first one, but in a survival situation you make multiple traps to increase your odds. And setting all of those up, well as you can see from watching Les, can be quite a pain  |
Ah, yes. I see what you mean. 
After the 15th rock falls on your hand it can get a little frustrating.

I prefer wooden sticks 
But seriously...The wood I used in the pictures is some old dried out maple that i split for the trap. I guess just about any easily carved wood of the proper size will do.
I have found that green wood works better than dry wood...easier to carve , less splintering , easier to find.

Yeah, green wood works better, although it gets juice all over your blade. 
I like green maple the best.
