How to Make a Forest Trap in Minutes 🌿🪤 This is a fast and simple trap made entirely from sticks and string — it’s a classic bushcraft trick used in real survival situations. Traditionally, traps like this were designed for small birds like pigeons or quails. But if you build it larger and sturdier, you could potentially catch bigger game like a pheasant or even a grouse. Still, let me be very clear: this is not for fun or casual use. I’m sharing it as a survival skill — something that could help you if you ever find yourself truly lost, hungry, and without options. 🏕️ The straighter the sticks, the better the result — but even with twisted or uneven ones, it works great if you tie it tight. If your trap turns out too light, tie a stone on top to increase the weight and ensure it doesn’t collapse too early. The trigger is very sensitive and reacts even to small movements. You can use seeds, crumbs, or any bait you have on hand. This is a humane trap — the animal stays unharmed, and you can always release it. Skills like this should be used only in emergency situations. Respect nature. Learn not just to survive, but to live in harmony with the wild. 🤍 #camping #survival #bushcraft #outdoors 

New York Times Travel

Hawaii’s Oahu island is the kind of place where it seems you never meet a person who’s been there just once. People visit, then they come back. Pretty soon Oahu has baked itself into your travel routines. For the writer Timothy Taylor, he repeatedly returns for the hikes and the stellar eats, for which Honolulu is one of the finest cities on earth.

Nature Is Metal

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained 📽 by @facundo._.garcia Orcas risk their lives to hunt sea lions at Península Valdés, Argentina, employing a fierce tactic that exploits the region’s rare flat beaches, smooth with pebbles, during high tide to target animals with a high success rate. These beaches are uniquely suited to this hunting style because their gentle slope and slick, rounded pebbles allow orcas to surge onto shore with a tail thrust and wiggle-slide back to safety. High tides provide water depth and wave momentum to support their 12,000-pound bodies and assist retreat, whereas rocky or sandy coasts might beach the orca for good. Dense sea lion colonies, who are vulnerable on land due to clumsy movement, cluster close to the water’s edge on these open shores, enabling the cunning orcas to grab them before they can escape. This strategy’s extreme risk overshadows its effectiveness: if an orca misjudges the high tide’s narrow window, its 12,000-pound body strands on the slick pebbles, and without the water’s buoyancy to keep it afloat, gravity presses the orca’s massive frame downward, gradually compressing the lungs and heart against its ribcage over time, causing organ collapse as tissues are starved of oxygen. This restriction prevents full breaths, leading to progressive oxygen deprivation, while the orca’s body, unable to dissipate the heat of the sun since they are usually underwater, begins to overheat, accelerating dehydration that shuts down vital functions, as seen in a 2022 incident where a pregnant orca died after stranding. Most beaches lack the flat, pebbly terrain, tides you can set a watch to, or dense sea lion colonies required for this maneuver, making the coast of Península Valdés nearly unmatched for this high-stakes hunt, where orcas balance survival against the constant threat of a lethal stranding. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!
