Corbie grinned at him. "I'd usually soak them in a container of water, not my mouth, so I don't know if the taste ever does grow on you. She took the last piece o sinew up as she considered his question. "I think for the frame vines would probably work, but it wouldn't be white as study. Cordage might work better but it takes some time and effort to make it so that'd be something to think about. The noose should definitely be sinew or wire though." She took that opportunity to pop the sinew into her mouth to wet it again - yeah admittedly it didn't taste great - and when she took it out again it was pliable. Twisting a slip loop in one end, she held it up so it draped over her paw. "You want a really big knot where the snare would be very tight to a rabbit's neck. Big enough that it would be hard to pull it through this loop, but not so big it would be impossible." She demonstrated, then fed the free end of the sinew threw the loop until the loop rested against the knot. "When the rabbit jerks on the noose, it tightens past this knot and then it can't loosen again even if they stop pulling, so they can't escape it." She knotted the free end of the sinew around the top branch of the frame so it was centered, then spread the noose open more so it gaped open wide.
She stepped back and surveyed it, satisfied. She didn't think she really had the time to wait for the results of their snares to come naturally, but she did want to know they held up. "Should we save time and give them a test run by frightening some rabbits through here?" The Best way to use snares was to set them and leave, letting the snare do all the work,but driving game into them was a viable, if less relaxing, option too.
