Finding oneself in a societal collapse or SHTF situation is a frightening experience unless you're prepared.
Hopefully, you've been preparing ahead of time by having enough equipment and food prep to last you for a while.
Even if your plans go awry, and you have planned ahead enough to keep you going for months in a top secret bug out location, the situation could take longer to get through.
That's why it's vital to learn how to provide food for yourself and your family even if all of the usual sources have all but disappeared. What this equates to is you may need to trust in more traditional methods of catching food more than opening another can of beans or freeze dried food.
For thousands of years. people everywhere have developed a plethora of techniques to capture game that didn't involve hunting. After all, some believe that hunting can result in injury and is a waste of valuable energy when you're supposed to be hunkering down during a SHTF situation.
To ensure your survival and fill your belly for the foreseeable future, check out some amazing primitive trap methods of catching your next meal after the break.

I used to teach survival for the US Army. You have to set twenty traps for every thing you wish to catch. There are much easier food sources available in the form of grubs & insects.
Before the shtf make sure you practice a lot it’s not as easy as it seems
Snares work great. Ive never tried the deadfall…
Agreed. I remember when I first started trapping. Had almost no success. You really have to take into account WHERE you place the trap more than how.. Like the trap itself is not too hard to make, but you have to actually place it in a spot where it will work. And don’t stink up the place in the process. Sometimes the animal will avoid the trap entirely if it catches on a human placed it. There not as dumb as we like to think
