I made my pack basket from an old kitchen garbage can. Added straps, a couple hoops and it works great.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Hadn't even thought about that but I like that idea even better! Thanks for posting!

I make all my rebar stakes and drags. Well that’s not entirely true, the good lord made some of my drags, sometimes I use rocks and tree limbs lol. I’ll be making myself a pack basket this spring as I done wore out my old wooden one, busted a hole right through the bottom of it. I’ve made a lot of pan covers, but anymore I find that I’d rather spend $30 a year on store bought ones than spend all that time cutting them out. I build my skinning gambrel out of scrap iron I had laying around. I plan on building a bunch of expanded pans this summer for cat traps next year, I’ll build em out of aluminum sheeting and rivet them on, it’ll only cost me my time, I can get as much aluminum sheeting as I want out of the scrap bin at work. Built colony traps and cage traps. Stretchers out of scrap lumper. Probably build a new catch pole this year. Also would like to get my winch set up for skinning. Possibly build a skinning rack that plugs in to the receiver hitch on my pickup.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to building trapping gear lol.
