One other option: re rod stake on the end of a long chain. Just drive it through the grapple. Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

On the upper portion I guess you could say I can't drive but regardless I would say I spend the most time walking.

When I checked the set I had a huge catch circle, coyote tracks all over, and no trap. I tracked it for two miles. Saw it once, but never did catch up to it. Never made that mistake again. Moral of the story; yes, if you’re in coyote country, you need to double stake if you’re using rebar. "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

When I use rerod its always 2, chained super stakes in most ground but in rock and gravel 2 rerod crossed.. In sand , super stake and a rerod attached to the top of the super with a quick link and a JC Conner chestnut. before I did that I had some long walks.. Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

Use cable stakes and In most cases your going to be OK with just One. But If the ground Is a bit suspect you can always cross stake with cable stakes. DONE THAT A TIME OR TWO!!!! If in doubt... ALWAYS OVER STAKE!!!
