Bucket Or Trug

[bryn27 89]

Minds not made up just yet but the old bucket is a chow on, these builder trugs look a better alternative.

Problem with the builders trugs is the handles last no time. The daughter uses them for horse feed etc; never known the handles of one to last 6 months.

Was thinking along the lines of capacity for those of us on foot?

me old bucket is shite to work with now I have more traps to set or retrieve.

You need something rigid that will protect your traps.

 

Those builders trugs 'squeeze' together when you pick them up which will potentially squeeze the contents.

 

The buckets I use carry 18 traps in each, which when working on foot means that I can carry two buckets, which is 36 traps. Back to the truck for a sarnie and grab another two buckets and that's 72 traps. That's enough for one day in most peoples books.....

 

Of course, I've got the quad which makes things even easier.........

I need a taller bucket then lol.

Thinking along the lines of a softer fabric holdall type. Lady (loose term) I know owns this factory and can turn her hand to almost anything so it's alleged.

If its fabric and needs designed and produced this lass can do it, would they work Matt and what design or fabric would be ok.

Fire some ideas at me and I'll put them to her no probs, I'm thinking long canvas camo type bag that you can lay the probe on top of and walk on to the next stop, long and deep for the foot soldiers.

[Matt 160]

I'm really not interested in back packs, bags, or trugs; but it's nice of you to think of me

 

I'm more than happy with my recycled (free) plastic buckets

[bryn27 89]

That's what I do when I respect someone's opinion, always have and always will.

Been trialing some canvas buckets,..they sure are comfortable to carry,..but require a wee bit of tweaking...The bucket definitely needs a sewn in sleeve for markers, plus a few more modifications to suit a mole trapper..

Plastic buckets from farmers with wire handle and usually white. Original were sheep licks or had molasses in.

[bryn27 89]

The basic molasses or salt lick buckets arnt comfortable to carry over large areas that's why I was thinking along the long canvas bag type.

[bryn27 89]

shorter than a gun bag but deeper.
