Excellent post!! Thanks for taking the time to do it..

I am spending every chance I can to continue my preparation for the trip.

Every trap is inspected for pan tightness, proper trap tags, functioning swivels and closed J-hooks. I don't set a specific pan tension but rather make sure the pan is almost loose enough to fall with it's own weight. Once set, the pressure of the springs will give me a tension I can live with. Once the cable stake is attached, I place the trapnin a gallon sized ziplock bag with a crumpled up wax paper pan cover. Each time I grab a couple of traps from a tote, I know there is already a pan cover with it. I keep the pan covers crumpled until they are ready to be used. This keeps them from blowing away in the Kansas wind.

Great prep and planning. I like the way u think!

Stack up the critters and post us some pics. I have never trapped in Kansas, love seeing the location of your catches.
