Is there a problem using 1/8 inch stainless steel cable for beaver drowning cables? My old cables really deteriorated badly, thinking stainless would be a better option. How about using them for Earth Anchors too?

Make sure you use copper ferrules on them.

Can you elaborate please? I’ve used aluminum on stainless and didn’t have a problem that I’m aware of.

Newt likes stainless cable we did some trading on some I came across years back. Might be a salt water thing.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Why would stainless cable be illegal for beaver drowners or cable stakes?

There are no regulations that I know of regulating drowners or anchors.

When they get wet, you get galvanic corrosion. If you're using them in dry environment, you probably wont have issues.

Because if not pulled or get lost, they stay there forever, will not rust up and break down.
