About like a plate of spaghetti.

I try to use plastic totes and milk crates with cardboard bottoms and sides.

I have a Diamondback bed cover on my truck .The way they are designed to open they allow you easy access to every part of your truck bed.I use lite weight aluminum boxes to store things in And for some items I use buckets or totes .With a little planning you can . lay out a plan to put the items you want where it works best The lids on the cover seal tight with no leaks .I wish I HAD SOMEHING LIKE IT 30 YEARS AGO .

The decked drawer system works pretty good. It's just a bit pricey.

Milk crates keep everything somewhat in order, usually by the end of the day its a disaster in the truck bed.

Trucks are a pain, If ya want room for trapping you have to go with a small cab, My full cab only leaves about 5 feet of room in the bed.

As I just trap on my own property these days, I just throw the stuff I need in the tractor bucket with the small stuff in a 5 gal bucket. Nope I am not organized at all.

I have a tall topper on my truck, I have a shelf in the front of my truck box that goes side to side by about 4 feet. I can haul more than I can set in a day. With side doors on the topper it stays very organized.

I built one for my truck years ago when I worked construction and loved it. Just wish I would have patented it.

Custom setup, its not ready yet. Racks to hang the animals, hooks to hang the the traps with a bungee to keep them from slinging all around. First one was made out of wood, next one will be aluminum or stainless.

Same here, looks great the night before opener. A week or so in it isn’t anything to show off at all.

Don’t have hardly any pics of loaded truck. This is best I could find.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Just went to set a couple 330s yesterday. Little early but want a beav for bait. Toyota Matrix with a trapping bag. Setters, hammer/shovel, safety, wire, leatherman and some Dam Beaver lure. Gotta get 1 day in before my hand surgery later this afternoon…lol
I’ve got a Sierra with a shell. I’ll use milk crates and totes. Got the long hook in the back already which is a must if you have a shell.
Once the suns up I’m off to check n possibly skin 1 or 2 beav before heading to the city.

I like to work out of an open bed for easy access, but the newer trucks keep getting taller and harder to reach over. No wonder they are putting those silly step tailgates on them now.

I am going to have to get one of those hooks this year. I'm tired of climbing in the bed.

A rubber bed mat does keep stuff from sliding around as much and is easier on the knees.

The hook sure came in handy this morning. Gotta tie off the 330s properly. Found the 57 pounder further in the water with the hook.

Organized? I'll have to Google that for a definition.


For the most part, I am a victim of my own decisions.
