Repairing the Hog Trap
The pigs had broken/dug under my fencing last time we had some in there, so this was the repair and reset trip. Put down five more posts to reinforce the fencing, and wove some heavy wire through the bottom... should be more than enough.
Poured some month-old soured corn in there, on top of the half bag of feed corn and the leftover donuts (pigs dig em).
And then we dorked out with the editing and aerial footage. Cameras used were the Drift Stealth 2, and the dji mini3 pro. Still learning with the drone, this was the first time using footage from that camera.

Bushcraft Hunting Feeder Stand Build
At this time, my hunting spot was a good 1.5 miles from where I could park, so I was hiking out all my supplies in or on the framepack. There were no trees with low sturdy enough branches to hang my feeder, so I chose to construct one with what was around instead of trying to hike out the materials.
Materials Used:
550 paracord,
3/8 inch cord
a cheap pulley from the hardware store
my machete and folding camp saw.
Moultrie collapsible Deer Feeder
It's basically a cooking tripod but bigger, and the knots I was using are technically called shitknots... I am aware of this, if any bushcrafters have any advice on any rope magic, I will gladly accept it . It was sturdy enough to serve its purpose.
I had scouted this spot specifically for hogs, there are tracks, wallers, gametrails and acorns all around, and was within 100 yards of the bayou. I had another spot I preferred, but had moved after the first spot was consumed by the bayou after a couple days of hard rain. Such are things in southern Louisiana.
You'll also see me shed some clothing as the vid progresses, it was in the 20s when I started, but warmed up as the morning went along.
*Update: this spot was destroyed in hurricane Laura, the blind wasn't worth moving, and the feeder was buried beneath tons of trees and debris. There was no salvaging the spot.
The new spot is only about a half mile hike, so been working hard on that this year. Lots of videos to edit, rye/barley crop and pig traps. Lots of snakes. I'll update more as soon as I can. Cheers, thanks for looking.
