No they are very simple things... not always effective, but rather ingenious...
for example, one very rudimentary trap is to take a heavy flat stone, and prop up one end very precariously with a stick. Then you place some bait underneath... rotten, inedible fish or worms or something or maybe a piece of meat from a previous kill. The animal goes to eat it and nudges the stick and the stone falls and kills it, or actual probably just traps it and injures it. Not humane but such is the harsh nature of...nature. You need to set up alot to catch anything but it can work...
Another is to set up snares on the branch of a tree (you can use various materials from nature like roots, but often in survival situations people aren't naked and they have things to work with like your shoelaces or clothings or backpack strings)... squirrels run through them and it tightens as they pass and captures them.
anyways there's tons of stuff like this. they don't take long to set up but it takes alot of patience to catch anything.
