BG stands, BG boxes, trapping hammers, disposable stakes, stake driver's, rebar stakes, drowning rods, drowning cables, cookie cutters, live traps and tons of trap mods.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Trapper Caps, Wooden and steel stakes (my design), Lure - Bait and (at-the set) container types, BG stands (all types and sizes - finally satisfied on this one), Cookie cutter, Set marker for marking location of trap/snare, Earth anchors & driver & puller, Tile spade and trowels (Stainless steel handle custom point), Cage Live box and PVC traps, All sizes Coni Cubbies/Boxes, Mink tubes, Overhead Coni roofs for baited coni's, Bait holder for Coni' triggers, Coni Safety Gripper, Too many Dirt Sifters (finally made one I like), Portable trap boiling set ups, Trap dye (don't know if you call that a tool but don't buy much - gather & mix natural material), Trap hanging rig after dying or dipping (no more nails in wooden 1 X's), Muskrat and Beaver Floats, Muskrat Colony traps, Sparrow Elevator traps, Trap setters (but finally went back to buying them), Grapples - Steel and wooden Drags, Fastening devices for extension chain, Coni Swivels, Snare(s) and drowning locks, Wire and later Cable drowners, and finally a more sensitive trigger system for my Canine Ram Snares. Some of these are mods to existing tools but have tried a lot of adaptation through the years. Before Covid I used a lot of latex gloves cut/stretched for trap pan covers (cheap at 3.99/box of 100) but the virus made them way too expensive for any more of that. Probably forgetting a few but these come to mind................................................ the mike

The jury is still out on this wire roll tamer. I glued and stitched a piece of inner tube into a giant rubber band to keep my wire roll together. I think the stitching is going to tear out, but we shall see...... Also, I'm just a small time hobby trapper with a bad back. I walk into places because efficiency is not a concern for me. But a pack basket would kill me. So, I use a trash can in my Mystery Ranch Popup 18, which is a small meat hauler pack. But it doesn't leave all the weight hanging on my shoulders crushing my already failed spine.
