Might as well call me old, lol.

I guess I'm in the minority, I never kneel. I squat when I'm setting traps, and try to never put anything but the soles of my boots on the ground.

And no, that isn't easy on the knees either.

garBage bag???

Just to keep knees dry∆∆∆∆

I have worn the = Cheap kind of knee pads for years! LOL!!!

Sometimes the knees just don't cooperate!

Knee pads would be handy if there was a set that stayed put or didn’t bind up in your knee pit.

I buy cheap foam butt pads and cut em half. They fit in my set making bag and last until they blow out of the back of the truck.

I trap for a Ranch that's always messing with me, they just dropped it off
today.
I said no to the pink gloves.

Knee pads everyday on the line, on wet or snowy days I also wear gaiters.

I squat. It's not getting any easier, but I got a kneeling pad and never carry the thing.

I have always used the green pads available from the trap supply places. Tried knee pads for the convenience and simplicity of always being there without having to pick up something else. But I always seemed to be getting dirt and debris behind them when digging.

A friend gave me a Kobalt Foam Pad from Lowes that is thicker and bigger than the green pads and they work well also. They are available locally for only a couple bucks more than the green ones. Either works well for me.

Thinking about this, save my knees a bunch of pain if just lay down to make the set…

I went to Goodwill and bought a cheap folding aluminum walker. Took the wheels off . I set it right beside me when making a set. My back is totally fused, have a hard time getting back up

I recently went to the = 40 dollar kind. Marvins and Lowes have. Very thick padding for old knees.

Steel - I use the same. They sure are better than kneeling on rocks or a trap chain. Plus, hard to forget them at a set. In Ohio they cost less - one reason to live here.

Willy . I picked up a set at Marvins the other day for 29.95 Wanted extra set for West Texas Just incase I lose a pare A pair last me a year or more

Ergokneel pad. Have them in the shop, house, and trap line. Nice quality pads

I have a real thick (~1.5") firm pad I bought off Amazon and although it's a little big it works great. It pads my knees in the rocky ground I trap in and is actually big enough and firm enough that I can set a #2 Bridger on it.

I also have one of the green ones all of the trapping supply places sell and it works pretty well but not as good as the big one.

I couldn't figure out how to share the link but here's the title of the thick pad

"Kneeling Pad Extra Thick | Garden & Bathtub Kneeler for Baby Bath | Knee Pads for Woman and Men | Mat for Bathtub, Gardening, Yoga, Construction Work, Prayers & Exercise High Density 18" x 11" x 1.5""

I use these. I hate kneeling in the rocks and these help. They help keep you dry as well if you are kneeling in mud or snow.
