Interesting question! In the book My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George, Sam uses multiple different traps; however, they all have one thing in common.
In the book, Sam moves to the wilderness and uses animal traps for survival. Sam uses multiple different traps, such as “deadfalls, pit traps, and snares.” For all of these different types of traps, Sam uses bait.
Throughout the story, Sam uses multiple different types of bait. For example, to try and capture a deer, Sam uses bait made from turtle fat and hickory salt because he remembers that deer enjoy the taste of salt.
By using this method, Sam catches numerous different animals in his traps. Although he is isolated in the wilderness, the traps provide fresh food for him to help him survive. Even when unfortunate events occur, such as the forester visiting, Sam continues surviving in the wilderness (at least partially) because of the food from his traps.
