How long do you run your chains with 1.5s and DPS when using rebar? I plan on using 30 inch long 1/2 inch rebar stakes since some of my land is mucky/soupy.

I use 24" 3/8s rebar and add 3 links of #2 chain with a stake swivel on the end for my DPs.

Mine are 18" long with my dp's. But I do agree it all depends of what type of soil you are trapping in.

I use stock chains for DP's and a 24" 3/8" rebar stake, on land not by/in the water.

I use the stock chain plus a swivel added in the middle of it.

I use stock chain and a 12-18” cabled super stake in muck and can push it down with the driver and pull it up by hand. All my coons run side to side or in a circle. They ain’t figured out to stand over it and pull it straight up yet, lol.
