I make my own stakes, started making my own drags this year, plan on making some earth anchors this year as well, also make my own tools. What are somethings you guys make for yourself, if you can share some pictures.

Cathouse Jim trapper Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 1,093 Hathaway Montana	I started welding my own stakes as a teenager as even back then I couldn't afford the shipping on them, made my own dirt sifter from 1x4 and rabbit screen. That was my favorite sifter and still, wish I had it today. First pack basket was made from an old Boy Scout backpack "L" frame and a plastic kitchen trashcan. Currently, I still make my own stakes and drags, snare supports, weld my own baseplates and jaw laminations, odd tools like a mouse hole driver, or whatever I think I might use.
