Improvised Grenade Trap (Birch Sapling Variant)

A covert lethal trap constructed by the Doctor using a military grenade repurposed as an explosive component. The trap employs a slender birch sapling bent into a forked prong, which serves as a camouflaged mechanical trigger mechanism. The grenade is wedged into the natural groove of the sapling's fork, held under tension with its pin already pulled but prevented from detonating by taut tension. The entire apparatus is designed to blend seamlessly with woodland foliage, activating when disturbed and releasing the spring-loaded sapling to detonate the grenade. The crude duct tape securing the spoon latch and olive drab metal body with handling scratches reflect the Doctor's hasty but precise improvisation, transforming basic ordnance into a psychological weapon that exploits expectations of obvious danger.
