So I see there is a post about once a week asking about this set and alot of confusion. The link below is a podcast of Mark explaining in detail what when why and how it works and so on. It's 100% free to listen or download. You can listen in your phone computer iPad or what ever . So if you wanted to listen from the horses mouth here you go.
The video I have coming out will HOPEFULLY clear up any confusion..........its so easy, its stupid! That said, I think trappers are often visual in nature and once they SEE it, the light bulb goes off! Thanks for posting!

Like you state in one video..”it looks a little amateurish”... That was the hard for me to “get over” was the light coat of covering where you can still see parts of the trap. It was my best performer this year. As a newbie that is still trying to figure out all the different BS, maybe the “amateurish” part is the best part. Thanks Zag!

Because just about every YouTuber out there uses a pipe and calls it a Pipe Dream set. Can’t wait for the video. Probably 80% of my sets are bedded Zagger style, whether used with a pipe, scent post, or believe it or not a dirt hole.

Depends on definition of “light covering”. This year I only broke up the trap. Standing over could still see the outline of the trap. I know this is against “the rules” but it worked. Maybe Mark will chime in on this.

I just use a few grass clippings that I collect when they mow the roads during the summer. As long as it blends in with the surrounding area then I don’t worry about it. I think the less covering the more natural it looks.

I carry a set of Wiss scissors and cut cover from grass that is on site. By “light covering”, I mean I can see parts of the trap/screen like Mark’s article vs a dirt set where everything is covered. Like I said, I’m newer at all this...

I'm like Wanna-Be I pretty much bed all my canine and cat sets with a version of the technique. Down here where it is so wet all the time having the space under the trap is very helpful. I also stake in the hole and even put drags in it with plenty of room. I had a guy tell me my hole was too deep. I told him if they come out wearing a bracelet and have a stamp on their foot from Chinese immigration it's just about deep enough. I have found that good screen pan covers have served me well so far. Like others I usually just use whatever is at the set to cover/blend it.
