Been watching Alone on the SBS on demand.
Some of the participants have been using Paiute to catch mice. Thought I'd give it a go.
Nice and warm, well fed, sitting down but still very time consuming and frustrating.
I have much more respect for those on the show doing this half starved with cold hands in the rain and wind!
The eagle-eyed amongst you will see that I have wrapped the cordage once round the upright; I have read that I should have roughened the upright post instead to allow more friction.
