Budget trapping tote?

What is a decently cheap bag or tote to carry my set equipment & attractants in?

I got a 5 gallon bucket organizer that goes around the top. It's got a bunch of pockets to out bait or lure in

I use a cheap plastic lined lunch box. One of the style ya find in the outdoors section at Wally world. Has a shoulder strap an plenty of pockets for lure an such. Waxed dirt goes inside. The lid is nice to keep dirt dry

I'd carry them separately so you don't get lure stank on your set making stuff.

How are you getting around? Walking, 4-wheeler, bicycle, truck?

Are you walking in or driving in?

5 gallon buckets work okay. I like my Loring pack basket with a canvas pouch hanging off the outside for lure and such.

$20 tool bag at Lowes
I love the shoulder strap to carry with often when don’t want to use regular handles.

Cheap tool bag

I bought a tool tote from Harbor Freight. It's about 19" long and has 13 pockets around the outside, a shoulder strap and a hard rubber bottom. It cost me about $20 on sale. For the money, I think it works great.

Bout $20

This is what I use to carry my tools. Lol

Walking most times! I want 2 tote, one for equipment & one for attractants.

I had a bag i used for lure/bait last year and i am getting away from that. I spilled some lure in it and being cloth it became an issue. I think i am going to start using a small 6 pack cooler for bait/lure and then a new bag for tools and gear. On the tools and gear I am a bucket junky but am getting tired of picking things up after the bucket tips over. With longer gear that i use like a drill with dirt hole bit and stake driver the dang buckets tip over at every set. Thinking longer gear bag to try this year. I know Chris at Coyote trapping school apparently makes a really nice gear bag.

I use a trappers pack for almost everything.

I bought a husky tool bag from home depot. It fits all my stuff and I like the shoulder strap for carrying it.

I still use a bucket but I bolted an old carpenter tool belt to outside of mine. Traps and tools in the bucket, bait and lure on outside pouches.

I have the large one for trap setting stuff and the smaller one for scents and lures really like them

X2, traps and setting gear go inside, attractors go on the outside. I've used buckets, tool bags in various designs. So far the Husky fits best. I also use Weiser's beaver bag for long treks and beaver work.

If you are going by foot for a couple miles I would use a backpack or packbasket.

Hands down Husky bags. I've got one of the larger ones 24 inches long. I've used it and abused it with this being the fifth season. Nothing else I've used compares. $36 but it's paid for itself easily with what I would have had wrapped up in other cheap products.

This year I'm gonna try a regular backpack with most of my tools, and a bucket with some dirt, and my lures/baits...I have to walk quite a bit on my line.

I attached a carpenter belt and some extra pouches to the outside of a square bucket and bolted two pieces of pvc pipe inside the bucket. I then attached the bucket to a small pack frame. Lure and bait in the extra pouches, wire screen and small tools in the pouches on the carpenters belt. My trowel, hammer, and wolf fang driver go in the pipe to keep them in place. This leaves room in the bucket for a can or two of waxed dirt. I carry a roll of wire on one of the frame uprights and my cable extensions on the other.

The frame helps keep the tall tools from tipping the bucket over and is the handle to carry for short distances. If I have a longer walk or have my hands full carrying animals, I put it on my back.

These two are what I got! The top one is 19" long for my set making equipment (drill & auger, 3# sodbuster type hammer, sifter, gloves, whisk broom, & pan covers), & the second one is 15" for my bait, lure, scent holders, etc. $20 for the top & $17 for the bottom. We'll see how they hold up. These, I believe are real budget trapping totes!

^^^^^^^ I had one like that I got at Harbor Freight for about 19 dollars. At wal-mart they have one thats similar . Rusty Johnson used to carry one that looked similar to it. I had the Harbor Freight one for a while till i got a Leggets bag I had no issues with it, carried for a few weeks. It rain on it,got wet, and smell like a wet dog, was my only complant

When you get old those canvas totes just don't cut It. You need something like a 5 gallon bucket so you can push off It to get up.

I 100% agree with John on this!

Met Mr. Leggett at a UP Show nice guy. Was going to visit him in MD many years ago but did not work out.

I use a square plastic cat litter bucket and bolted on a smaller square plastic pail to it for my baits and lures. This is my second year with it and like it better than anything I've tired so far. Will try to post up a pic tomorrow.

That would be nice, but I'm on a budget and can't afford on, or else I might have bought one!

5 gallon buckets are free. Well for the most part.

I zip tied a short piece of electrical conduit to the side for my bait fork. I also drilled holes in the bottom of the buckets for drainage. This set up is usually enough for my needs but I have another large square bucket for extra dirt, traps and such. I know I don't have much into this.

I used a bucket last season; doesn't work so well when you're on foot!

Attach It to a back pack frame. Then you have both hands free.

Very easily done!

You spent $37, the Leggets bag is $40. The Leggets bag is quality.

I'm gonna try a school backpack this year, I like the way certain things fit, but realize I'm gonna have to carry a bucket too. Just got tired of lugging a bucket with everything in it, we'll see.
