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.

Today I brought 170 gallons of waxed dirt into the fur shed. Over the next couple of days I will package all of it into individual 1-gallons ziplock bags. The bags will be packed into coolers for the ride to Kansas. Over the course of the trip we will gradually empty the coolers as we make sets. The coolers will then be used to transport frozen fur back home.

Great planning

Want a tour of your shed............

Pretty country. I have a family place just across the line, South Central NE. I have plans to do what you are doing there someday.

You aren't far from where they wrote "home on the range" in 1870ish if you get West a little. Neat place to check out but I'm sure you stay busy.

Thanks!!!
