trap some small game.

Okay, here we go.

See that?

That right there?

Those droppings, most likely rabbit.

I hate to kill any animal,

but in survival conditions,...

...everything's fair game.

That big fat rabbit sure would

be tasty right about now.

Let's see what we can do.

Now, one of the simplest,

most effective traps...

...is called the figure four deadfall.

And what you need for this

is three sticks and a big rock.

And it's very very simple.

Put a piece of bait just on

the tip of stick C over here,...

...our furry little friend

will crawl in...

...all curious and hungry,

and with any luck,...

...he'll trigger the trap.

And that will kill any small animal.

All right.

Now, let's set this up again

so you guys can see...

...how I did it.

You take a big rock, it's

heavier than it looks,...

...stick A, stick B, stick C.

You wanna make sure the

grooves and the notches...

...all line up.

You want a big rock.

Ah, okay.

Now for bait.

Rabbits love apples.

All right.

Now we wait.

All right.

There, don't say I never

did anything for you, Angie.

Okay, so, this morning

I set three traps.

Let's see if we got any food.

Oh, look at this.

Wait for it.

It looks like we got some food.

I'll tell ya, it'll be nice

to get some warm meat...

...in my belly.

Ah, can it be?

Two out of three, let's eat!

So, as you can see,

I've moved away from camp.

You don't want any dead

animals, blood or guts,...

...anywhere near where you're sleeping.

You'd invite unwelcome guests

like coyotes, wolves, a bear.

What you wanna do is take Bugs here,...

...lay him on his back like this.

Take your knife, you wanna

make a nice, long cut...

...from the breast all

the way down to the belly.

Once you've made the first cut,...

...you wanna work your

thumbs in and under the fur...

...all the way around.

Kind of like a giant tangerine.

Pull it apart, and when

you get down to the leg,...

...you need to snap it,

and make a shallow cut...

...all the way around the paw.

It should all slide off.

Next, a nice slice right

from the breastbone...

...down to the belly, this time

you wanna get deep.

And that reveals rabbit innards.

Mmm.

Okay, last but not least,

sorry, pal, cut off the head.

And there you have it, sumptuous

wild rabbit ready to cook.

Come on!

Useless piece of sh*t.

Can you hear me now?

Hey, babe.

I know things have been

really stressful lately.

I wanted to give you something

to keep you warm...

...and cozy in those freezing

cold nights out in the woods.

I know that you love it

out there but, just,...

...be careful, okay?

And we will be here when you get back.

And so will these.

I love you.
