Best tools in you trapping kit.

What are your favorite trapping tools?

Traps

I'm screwed without my s hook tool . This reminds me I need to get a better one

One hand trap setters and RTS trap setter.

Ron Marsh style J hook tool
Freedom pro hammer
Heavy duty stake puller
Mig Welder

Always had wire cutters in a holster on my belt, and always had some hand size anvil pruners. I bought cheap ones for about five bucks, since I seemed to lose a pair or two every season. In Western Oregon they were a necessity. It's a jungle out there.

.... the “2nd” stake driver lol

I paint mine orange because I keep setting them down and have to go back to get it....

I try to carry doubles on all set making equipment. Also painted orange because I leave something behind a few times a year.

What is the saying "Two is one, one is none" If this isn't a trapping saying it should be.

Lets see it

Leatherman

I'd say my 4 wheeler lol

I'm with you headache and id add the snowmobile as well

Next to traps, and the vehicle, I'd say the sifter.

My Milwaukee rotary hammer drill, cement mixer for making waxed sand, and my Death Ray.

My SOG multitool , linemans pliers, and my Kline wire reeler , them my snowmobile and of course snares and snare supports.

Mig welder I dont buy stuff anymore . I make just about all my stuff.

My death ray

GET THE RON MARSH S-HOOK TOOL!

(yes, I know I'm yelling!)

get THAT one, nothing else!

no, buy THREE of them!

in my bag are extra tags, bait, lure, plastic butter knives, roll of tie wire, pliers, screw driver, wrench, estwing straight claw framing hammer, a little bait hole shovel with a cut down handle, a flattened cut in half roll of wax paper, a sifter, a couple pieces of rolled up #9 wire and a couple snares.

Without a doubt... One Hand Setters!

My super heavy duty trowel from Stalker Fabrications. I had this trowel from day one when I got back into trapping. I use it for everything including pounding and prying stakes (if for some reason I don’t have my hammer), dispatch, cutting small branches and roots and wire, breaking ice and frozen ground, and everything between....I feel naked without it! Lost sleep once when I temporarily lost it!

Second to the One Hand Setters... 2" auger and cordless drill. Making a dirthole set is as easy as pie!

Gransfors Bruks forest axe.

It doesn't fit in a kit but I would be lost without my Peet boot dryer.

You'd be shocked at the things one man can accomplish- my model is a slight upgrade called a Handyman but I use it to pull up fence posts when you cant get a tractor in, hold up gates while I drill the hinge bolt holes, hold one end of planks while I fasten the far end- you name it. It's companion is a ComeAlong and I rarely leave the driveway w/o them, a tpost driver, and 2 or 3 tee posts. You can do a lot with simple leverage tools

Dewalt drill w/ 3 batteries and a 4 tine "potato rake".

Snow shoes, Dry gloves and a hunk of looped paracord In my pants pocket, matches in shirt pocket, ~20" light axe. Standard winter bush travel gear for here. Don't leave home without them!

Mud motor. I keep 2 spares just in case.

Axe

You can see just by the tools list, the wide variety of habitats we habit.

Thanks TurkeyTime. I was hoping it would make the cut! LOL

Your*

BG trap setting tool, BG safety hook, cable cutters and axe.

At the very least my favorite tools, Extra.... fire maker, knife, food/ snacks, water and hoody etc... whatever extra item I can fit in my pack to help me survive in case something happens
