You can do the same with any bodygrip and you'll have a stable unit. One stick. Another reason to use the KB is it allows the beaver to kick out of the set area. The problem with a stand is it keeps the dead critter in place. I would rather have that bottom edge location freed up for the next critter to swim through and not find his dead buddy laying there.

"in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"

Swamp Wolf trapper Joined: Apr 2009 South Ga - Almost Florida	Originally Posted by coondagger2 KB's on crossovers probably work good because you can press the legs in the ground a little. For rocky streams they are useless. Your area of contact on a rocky creek bottom is limited to the 4 legs with KB's design. They are probably 1/8" diameter. In order to stabilize a big 330 you need a much larger footprint and much more bottom contact than 4 little legs. Probably 75% of my trapping is in places you'd never drive rebar in the bottom of the creek. You'd bend 3/8" rebar like a pretzel. These work a lot better I don't have rocky streams....just muddy and sandy bottoms. Your stabilizer looks like it would ŵork great for 330s, but ol'Boco won't like it. Thank God For Your Blessings!
