Does anyone run chain on their wolf fangs? If so what are the advantages over cable?
Thanks,

I have both cable and chains on mine. I will be switching them all to chains next year because if you don’t get the deep enough and set the anchor, the cable will stick up.

I use cable. It's cheaper and If you run Into problems when It's time to pull you can easily cut the cable. The other thing Is I don't like the big hole that the chain leaves when you drive the chained up stakes. And It's harder to drive stakes with chain Into the ground then It Is with cable.

I don't use wolf fangs but I've used both cable and chain on the earth anchors I have and all mine are chain now.

haven't used wolf fangs yet but I use both chain and cable for the reasons above chains do coil up flatter I use #3 straight link but in loose sandy ground its more convenient to hook up a couple cable stakes and double up also a gob of cables can be thrown in the box and not tangle up like chain

Mine are hybrids with 12" of 1/8" cable and 6" of chain on top.This gives me a range of 12"-18" of depth with no cable sticking up.

So your adding cable and chain to your Initial chain set up?
I use a heavy quick link between my cable staking system and my trap chain.

I run cable thinking that switching to chain would increase longevity of them if I leave them in the ground from year to year. Then I wouldn’t have to go out in the spring to pull those I can’t get out of the frozen ground.

I use strictly cable. Like the fact that I can just clip and go. Really have never had a problem with the loop sticking up out of the trap bed, over drive the anchor.

I use chain but when it's froze in and I can't get it out I leave the chain with a piece of flagging on it.

Cable. I don't get the end sticking up thing, I just bend it over and shove it in the driver hole.
