Pathfinder DF-4 Deadfall Trap
The Pathfinder DF-4 stands for Deadfall Figure - 4. It mimics the traditional figure four trap trigger system carved out with sticks. Yet it is in a one piece design, and it collapses down for easy storage. The PDF-4 deadfall trap can easily be set with one hand holding the trap trigger, and the other holding up the deadfall. The traditional carved figure four trap method works very well and is time tested, but can be time consuming and difficult to set.
The PDF-4 is made with a combination of 6000 series aluminum, and the pivot points are put together with air craft type rivets. The traps are also anodized with a type III hardened finished. A lot of effort was made to keep these traps light, compact, and durable.
The single weighs 3.4 oz. and is 13 1/2" tall by 1/2"X5/8" when collapsed.
The traps have been extensively tested with an accuracy average ranging around 20% per trap. Meaning with every five well placed traps we would have one to two captures a day, of course we do not guarantee these figures as many factors come into play.
The Pros of the PDF-4 trap are light weight, packable, stealth, efficient, fast setting, humane due to a quick kill mechanics, or it can be used for live capture with cage type deadfalls. The PDF-4 when in use can be working for you while you engage in other activities. The PDF-4 is light weight and takes up very little room in your pack. These traps are perfect to carry for emergency food procurement, or can be used for basic trapping if laws allow.
The PDF-4 is not a gimmick, it is a real survival tool. Trapping is not the most popular subject these days, however it is a viable way to produce protein. In the event an alternative way is needed to provide food the PDF-4 is a real option.

The deadfall trap is easy to carry, easy to set up and is wickedly sensitive. If you don't have time to find and then make deadfall sticks, this is the answer you have been looking for.
Nice little set up, great value
Although I have yet to catch anything, I think it is my fault so far. This is a clean and simple design that takes the work out of fashioning a figure-4 trap.
Easy set up and seem to be well built.. havent used them for serious use yet but have been testing and playing with them around the house.. They work as advertised and have become my kids new hobby trying to catch anything with them.. very pleased with them and will be getting more in the future.
Haven't used it yet but seems to be well constructed.By the time you fabricate one in the field using sticks,with these you could be enjoying a meal of squirrel or fish.Yes these can be set up a fishing spring pole!I intend on getting the 5 pack.

Fits my bottle like a glove. As an added bonus I use it to keep me warm in winter outdoor sleepovers. Fill your bottle with hot water, slip it in the bag, and keep it with you in your sleeping gear...Many therms of warmth for several hours!
I could not be happier with this purchase. As other items I have from SRO the build quality is above average and solid as a rock.
Pot - Love the bat wing handles. My hands are average and there is plenty of room to fit all 4 fingers in with a glove on. No issues with getting a good grip on it. I have been using it on a canister stove and find that it sits sturdy when cooking since it has a wider bottom than cup type pot. I also like bail it comes in handy to grab it off the stove. I can’t wait to try it over a campfire with a tripod.
Stove – Great match Dave. Good idea to make it a little smaller. If you take it out of its pouch and just use a bandana you can lay it flat on the bottom of the pot and a gas can on top of it with room for the stem. The top will stick up just a bit, but the bag takes care of keeping it all together.
Bag – I like it a lot. It’s built well and should hold up under normal use. It is big enough that you can have the pot and sit a 110g can on top and it closes and does not leave a lot of extra bag flopping around.
Windscreen – It’s HUGE!!!! 12 panels. This thing will have no problem blocking the wind for the stove. Actually, I think it’s large enough to use around one of the square butane stoves a caterer uses. I can see using it as a small campfire heat reflector.
I see another poster mentioned this on the page for the pot alone. “Would love to see a 6-inch version of the camp skillet to go with it.” I agree with them it would make a great combination set / addition to this set.
The Ozark Trail 18oz Stainless Steele cup from Walmart (still only $6.00) nests perfectly inside the 1QT. pot. You can then fill the cup, take the stove out of its pouch, and lay it flat on top of the cup. The lid sticks up just a bit but once it’s in the bag and the gas can is on top of it, it sits snug.
I purchased this mattress to replace the foam mattress in my Canvascutter Bedroll, as the foam was too bulky to properly pack on a horse. This mattress compacts down to half the size, and is just as comfortable. It inflates and deflates properly without the use of a pump. It seems to be constructed very well. Great Mattress!
a awesome piece of equipment to have
As usual 1st class item & service.
