Having moved 17 times in the last 30 years, I’ve been through so many fleshing systems, I’m going to make one last (hopefully) fleshing beam base. You guys have any good ideas and photos to share? I’ve used wall mounted and have a system for that but too often I need to travel with one or bring it to a friend’s house. Like to have a wooden base that folds or breaks down for travel. Got a pretty simple idea I’ve used plenty in the past but I don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Montana weather is doing Montana things and I’m getting antsy. Lol.

Will take a photo when I get there. They seem popular. "Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."

I also anchored a 2nd one to pole in the barn for home use. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware!

MTP sells them. I got back into trapping with the idea of not making any money and so far have been quite successful.

The square tubing in the picture is bolted to the under side of the beam and goes into the next size larger tubing that's mounted to the wall. The receptacle had a 3/8 bolt and nut with a piece of rebar welded across the top of the bolt to tighten it down. I glued a narrow strip of the pipe wall down the center of the under side to stiffen it a bit. It works pretty good. That's the under side gluing the strip down the center. The square tubing is the piece I bolted to the bottom and goes into the receiver on the wall. Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

I do my fleshing in my basement so no coons or skunks. , It's bunge'ed to the post. I can remove any time I want. Upright is set to the height I like, could be made adjustable. Maybe this will give you some more ideas.

Like exactly (just a different colored beam) If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.
