Chapter 640 - 275: Pink Salmon_4
He left the campsite, picking a random direction to start walking.
Although it had not yet snowed, many clear animal trails were visible among the grass and bushes due to frequent movement.
Soon, he came across a very fresh path.
"Look, everyone, here’s a trail that’s often used by small animals. The grass has been trampled to the sides and the frequent walking has left distinct marks in the middle, and I tentatively presume these could be rabbit traces. I will now use the nearby bushes’ branches to make a snare!"
Lin Yang casually pulled out his army knife, and started to trim the bushes, cutting off small branches, leaving only a segment about the thickness of a thumb.
He tested the branch by bending it, noting it was very resilient, springing back immediately when released.
Next, he took out a spool of PE line, made a rough measurement of the needed length, cut the line with his knife, and twisted two pieces together.
One end was tied to the bush branch, and the middle was tied to a short wooden stick, leaving a noose about the size of a bowl.
Two Y-shaped branches were placed on either side for support, and a notch was cut in the middle of the stick to counteract the direction of the trigger mechanism for balance. He then positioned the noose in the very middle of the animal path.
