What’s everyone using to lug stuff around while trapping?

I cant find a quick picture of my machine with box. It's simple a box I screwed together out of 1/2 inch plywood. Its bolted to back cargo rack on my machine. Think it holds 4 or 5 of the 5 gallon buckets. My machine is a single seater so that box pretty much stays on my machine all time. When I used it on trapline I also bolt on a plastic recycling bin on front rack. Those bins became easy to find when city switched to carts. Their alot tougher that a tote couple 1/4 inch bolt and fender washer. Goes right on.
If your hauling something regularly that needs more protection. The large heavy pelican type cases are way to go. My sister regularly was hauling camera equipment around with her atv. She has the large pelican box on front.

Ohio Steel cart works well for us, pulls great behind the atv or side by side.

This is what ive got going right now, unfortunately the 4wheeler breaks down on me too much to trust it on my line. Did some tinkering this week and threw the bat on the charger to hopefully get it going to set snares off it since its so much faster.

Morning Yoteboy,

My setup is very similar to that of K-snow. I have 3 milk crates (secured with zip ties) on back rack of ATV and two mounted at front. I keep feed bags for fur. It`s cheap and easy to clean. I have also a couple of pouches affixed to milk crate to hold lures, pliers and other small tools.

Simple and cheap.

I started with plastic pickup tool boxes, now my rear one is aluminum
When I trapped in WY I would fill it up with stuff and set up a days worth from my atv

Ive made a few over the years, designed to pack in bear bait and haul goose decoys
One was a beautiful aluminum box where materials were nearly $200. looked pretty ,,, for a while crazy
Harbor freight steel and trailer tounge boxes..

A few made out of 5/8 plywood
A few companies make and sell baskets and plastic enclosed boxes

I found for multiple uses for me :,, not pretty but more pacticle, 5/8 plywood low sides "6" you may want to extend the box behind you slightly. Some companies have drop boxes. When I had a larger Articcat 2 up I rasided the hitch for a Harbor frieldght hitch rack,,, For carring bear baits.

Thje saddle bags for my uses are junk .

Around here farmers mount a Conco tool box I thin those work well mounted in front [Linked Image]
