>> Yeah, good job, team.
[film reel creaking]
>> Okay, so we did the snare, which was shockingly effective.
[slow motion crashing]
>> This one, I thought I knew what you were talking about
when you pitched this, you have a rock, you have a stick,
a critter, hits the stick and the rock falls on the critter.
But this sounds closer to the crazy snare that we did.
>> It's a little more complicated because
it does involve a spring pull
or an engine like the other one did.
I didn't want to cut a living branch off, so.
Do you know, PVC grows wild out here?
[laughs]
>> It does, it does here!
>> Yeah, yeah, it's weird thing about Texas.
[static crackling]
>> This is going to be the engine that pops
the stick out from under the rock, right?
>> Okay, so basically, it's the same idea
as a rock on a stick, but it's just got a trigger,
when the trigger this will yank out the stick
and kill the thing?
>> Yeah, actually just like the other one,
it requires a lot of tension,
precariously balanced on a little trigger.
>> Okay, the snare we just had a springy branch
that was up and it was already rooted in the ground.
How do we provide a fulcrum to provide yanking power?
>> Well you can--
>> [laughs] Yanking power, that's my porn name!
[laughter]
>> So you take your spring pull, your engine
or what have you, and you're going to set it down, right,
and you can place it like, between,
like, two rocks or stumps or something like that.
I have two-- >> Or two trees
that happen to already be there.
>> Exactly!
>> So we have to build our own anchors.
>> Yeah, and so I've got these Y branches here,
multipurpose right, we're going to put this here.
>> Yeah.
>> And then put this in the opposite side.
>> And so basically this is the trap being strung...
oh, but it occurs to me this doesn't have to make it all
the way here because we're going to tie off a string here.
>> Yeah, you want to get farther away?
>> Yeah just a little bit.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah, hammer this in.
>> JASON: Yeah.
[hammering]
>> Now, I've seen the people use rocks
or stumps that were already there.
>> Alright, here you go
[hammering stick]
>> Give me some bend see if that--
>> Yeah. >> I think it'll hold.
>> BRIAN: Certainly enough to yank out a stick right?
>> JASON: Oof, I don't know.
>> BRIAN: You know what we could do?
>> JASON: Some rocks!
>> BRIAN: Yeah, there we go.
>> JASON: Yeah.
>> BRIAN: As long as we get some tension in there.
>> JASON: Exactly!
>> BRIAN: Okay, so I guess we what?
Tie off a string on this?
>> We're going to need to tie two strings to this,
one of them,
will go into our prop stick that we're going to put under here.
>> BRIAN: Okay so here, give me a snip on this.
And then you could cut off another one.
Just what a slip knot is fine?
>> JASON: Yeah.
And again, you're not going to want to tie it to where it's loose
you're going to want to tie it where it's tense.
>> BRIAN: So like, this goes back here to the trigger.
>> JASON: Yup!
>> BRIAN: Got it, and then there's another one
to pull out the stick.
>> JASON: To pull out the prop, yeah.
>> That one as well.
>> JASON: Yeah, that'll work.
>> This is the prop stick.
And then we're going to stake this one in the ground.
>> BRIAN: So,
this guy goes on here.
>> JASON: Yeah, that's our prop stick.
>> BRIAN: Probably could have just actually tied a knot
on it instead of making a slip knot.
>> Something we have to think about,
if we pull the PVC too far this way,
those might slip off the end.
>> BRIAN: there we go.
So yeah,
I mean at this point,
that'd be fine right?
>> JASON: I think so.
Hop up and what we're going to do is
a rock here.
>> BRIAN: Yup.
>> JASON: We're going to get that stake in there.
Now you don't want your stake sticking out too much.
>> BRIAN: You want it lower than the prop stake right?
>> JASON: Yeah, exactly,
because this could keep the animal from getting crushed.
>> And we want him nice and dead!
>> Yeah.
[metal clinking]
All you want is a pissed off squirrel,
nobody needs that.
[leaves rustling]
[metal clinking]
>> BRIAN: Okay how do you set up the trigger on that though?
>> Very carefully. [laughs]
[metal clinking]
What we're going to do is we're going to tie
a little bait stick here,
and it's going to go like right there.
>> How's it going to stay up like that?
>> It's going to be pretty precarious right?
So, we're going to tie it around here,
you want to leave it like a little loose.
>> JASON: Okay.
>> BRIAN: All right I'm adding tension.
>> JASON: Yup.
>> BRIAN: All right.
It seems to be set?
>> JASON: Okay!
>> BRIAN: So when this thing gets touched
it's going to fling this out,
and we want, whoops.
[laughs]
>> BRIAN: Hold on.
Okay.
>> Oh geez, it's very precariously balanced.
>> JASON: Yeah.
>> BRIAN: Oh, wait wait I think we got it,
I think we got it!
>> JASON: Okay!
>> All right dude,
this is the one totally unnecessary string--
>> [laughs]
>> Because we got lunch coming!
>> Oh, I'm hungry too!
>> All right what does this guy--
>> JASON: Oh, he's not having a good time.
It's been a rough day.
It's been a rough day at the,
wilderness--
>> BRIAN: I guess the irony is that
you have to put bait out,
I guess it's bait you don't want it's like--
>> JASON: Yeah.
>> BRIAN: walnuts or something.
>> [laughs] He crawls on his back!
>> Yeah that's, uh--
>> Come on baby!
He made it.
[laughs]
>> You live!
He lives to see another day!
>> Here you go,
>> Come on!
Come on, come on.
>> JASON: Yummy, yummy!
>> BRIAN: [high pitched voice] I love food!
I love to eat food!
I escaped again!
[laughs]
Who likes Fruit Roll-Ups?
Oh, anyway.
>> JASON: Not as precarious as we--
>> BRIAN: Just going to cozy up for a moment.
>> JASON: Thought!
>> BRIAN: Nibbling on it.
>> JASON: He escaped again!
>> I think we have a,
not so much a hair trigger!
I'm going to feel these.
Yeah, they're both tense.
I'm just going to throw him in there.
>> All right, do it!
[radio static]
[laughs]
>> Darn it!
>> So in this case,
our failure is that there's not enough tension on this
to pull this out.
>> Yeah.
>> But, I mean for principle he's there,
this pulls,
and then oh my god that's on there really tight--
>> JASON: Okay.
What I'm going to do is, uh, you know what?
Yeah let's pull this like--
>> Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, there we go it's about to drop.
>> And let's get the string up here.
>> Whoa! >> You okay?
[walkie-talkie radio] >> Splinter?
It's fine.
>> Are you bleeding?
>> It's fine. >> Okay.
He's fine.
>> BRIAN: Reset the injury counter.
>> JASON: [groans]
Here let's uh--
>> Now I'm bleeding all over myself.
[static]
>> So, the big change is Bryce suggested
that we not have both of them be tense
which makes sense because you want that
to have momentum to yank this guy out right?
>> JASON: Exactly!
Yeah so I think that's a better idea.
What can I do?
You want me to hold anything?
>> Pray.
>> Okay. >> Actually here help me,
with the rock.
>> All right, crumb.
>> Here we go.
[crack] >> Ooh.
Uh,
>> JASON: Okay I'm not holding it.
>> We're good? >> We're good.
>> Oh, I think we got it!
>> Okay!
Oh okay,
we're going to plant the bait of
AOL CDs.
>> Come on!
I'm hungry!
[laughs]
>> Please!
Come on!
>> JASON: Got it?
[groans] >> [laughs]
>> Okay.
>> So, this is a case where the rock is just so heavy
that it's secure,
that we need extra,
this is why you need a springy thing to yank it out.
>> I have an idea.
>> You're just going to kick it.
>> No. >> No?
>> We're going to try the other one.
Do you want to try
that?
>> BRIAN: Oh, is that a different--
>> This is the method that I was talking about earlier
where it just swats the stick out from under it.
>> BRIAN: How are we going to secure that on?
>> We just shorten the rope.
It's the same principle of the trigger,
and it just hits it, physically.
>> Unfortunately, I don't think that'll snag on there,
it's just going to slide,
that rope will slide right off.
>> JASON: I think if we just cut a little notch in there
to keep it held.
>> BRIAN: Aha!
>> JASON: We got to reset it.
>> So you got to get it on the other side--
>> Yup.
>> Of the stick.
Okay, you want to give me a little more length?
>> JASON: Oh from,
yeah.
>> Okay. >> Okay.
>> So, you hold that there.
>> Yep.
>> Okay, let go.
>> Okay, I'm going to let go.
>> And if you reposition that rock.
Yeah.
Okay same game,
just this time we're going to knock the sick right out.
>> JASON: Yeah!
>> BRIAN: Okay hold on trigger is
set.
Okay.
>> JASON: All right!
>> BRIAN: Okay, okay, okay I swear!
We can do this.
Gentle.
[sighs]
Okay.
>> JASON: All right, now this is going to work!
>> BRIAN: I swear!
Okay, hold on!
>> Okay, varmint!
You get in there and you get that candy!
We're going to get you this time!
>> BRIAN: Set up a roll of pennies,
who loves a roll of pennies,
come on buddy!
>> JASON: We got this! >> Come on buddy!
>> BRIAN: [shouts excitedly] >> [laughs triumphantly]
[slow motion stick falling]
>> Oh, that was so much more satisfying--
>> Victory! >> Than I dared hoped!
>> Yes! [grunts] >> Oh that's good!
