What do you all store your traps in? I use plastic totes but they get a bit flimsy when I put a few dozen in them. Would like some more robust. Thanks

I have been picking up cheap coolers at auctions. More durable then totes,stackable and usually have handles.

Open shed where they don't get rained on, but can stay aired out while hanging.

Put them in totes too. I make sure the chains are tangled through every trap so all 40 traps turn into one big chunk of steel that all comes out as one piece later.

I use the thick plastic bins the ones with locks and built in handles. Either 22 gallon and or 43 gallon ones. The 22 gallon one I can put 50 + traps, stakes, extension, sifter and a bunch of other needed items and closes just fine

I use drywall mud buckets. A tots full of traps is to heavy to move, load or almost anything else plus if you put a tote full of traps in your truck k during season it is broke from the weight or cold.or both.

Oh yes, very much mine...I buy them from farmplast...They make them for the milk industry, and sell the black crates for around $5 each...Google them.

Or, there's always those that come from the method you mention, but why go that route?
