Crafting requirements
- 1 x Slender tree trunk
- 2 x Branch
- 1 x Stone
- A knife
Usage
Should the prey not die upon impact, it will at least get stuck under the weight of the trunk, which is usually increased by placing a heavy stone on it.
As the light lever trap is used to small, non-carnivorous animals, baits aren't used, but the trap is placed on the known paths of the animals.
