My Cable Anchors and Rebar Stakes and how I made them.

[@chriscatlin8460]

I like the set-up. Very efficient.

[@iwantosavemoney]

That is cool my friend smart effective am sure. Am going to use your anker system for throw lines in high traffic areas.

[@oby-1607]

Best tips for anchors yet. Guess I got a little welding to do and a trip to Home Depot. Thanks for sharing.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thanks Oby-1. I put a lot of thought into these. I have seen mahy different types etcd but none that were completely reusable. Good lUCK!

[@frustratedmajority851]

Excellent! Nice fat earth anchor too so you can use a big ole rugged stake driver. Im all about simplicity and longevity. I love this idea. For now, im gonna add some little washers onto my super stakes for reclaim. Thanks for sharing!

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank you David for your nice comment and for watching, glad it helped.

[@stephencutting2865]

That was a total awesome idea thank you for sharing

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hey you are welcome I am glad you can use it, Thanks for watching!~

[@jamesrice5550]

I have been using these type anchors for years and yes they work.

[@1nvisible1]

*Paul, what are you using for washers? 3/8" cut with a plasma? 40" or so of 1/2" rebar? thank you!*

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I really like your cable anchor design . Good job

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank you Justin it works extremely well.

[@bradparker7069]

I’ve purchased and used the anchor system before but almost always left them. Not any more! Awesome idea. Thanks

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Have you made any Brad? How did they work out for you?

[@leslieb6881]

Smart idea! Good thinkin, Lincoln!

[@Jeffrich308]

I do something similar, but I use 1/2" pipe and put a small tywrap on the removing cable. Thanks for the video...

[@dobrobob]

Good video.... funny I was just heading out to the shop to make some removable anchors almost the same idea. Thought I’d check you tube for some more ideas and found this thanks for sharing ... keep up the good work

[@slipryeel]

Good stuff haven't trapped for years I'll use your idea just a bit bigger for a wind turbine anchors thanks for the knowledge.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hiya Slipry, glad I could help... thanks for watching

[@wadewittman8510]

Paul, I sure like the way you have your earth anchor retrieval system. I use wolf fangs but believe I can do the same to them. Thanks for the tip.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Glad to help Wade, let me know how it works for you. Thank you for watching!

[@vrod1a]

Very well explained, an easy and smart system 👍

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thanks Vrod1a, appreciate your comments and watching!

[@basweny1]

These are all greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hi Bradley, thank you!

[@JaredBack]

Do you have video on how you made your anchor driver I like that I have similar anchors that you use there nice I need a better idea on driver

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hi, Sorry I did not make a video of the driver.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

3/4" ReBar with steel pipe about 2" up the rebar, weld that on. Then I had to use a grinder to narrow the tip slightly to fit my anchors better. You want a little play when the anchor is.on the stake. I hope this helps.

[@TomSutts1969]

Thanks Paul I'll let definitely be modifying my staking system! Cheers Tom. 👍

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hi Tim, thanks for watching ang subscribing! I am happy to to share ideas and knowledge.

[@jimnowak3960]

Very clever Paul.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank You Jim! Do you use something like this?

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

hey thanks Paul. Hope to get out soon and start doing a few dirt holes. i know i have a couple fox that are around daily. Great stuff sir!!

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Your welcome Adam, I hope it gives you some ideas...go get em.

[@trapperstrailsandtales4657]

Thanks for sharing Paul Migwech

[@carypeck5042]

A wonderful idea thank you so much.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

You are welcome Cary, thank you for watching.

[@stevedingman474]

Funny how trappers think alike I first made these 30 years ago after seeing them in a trapping magazine. First it was one cable and I toted along a 6 ft long hickory pole/walking stick to muscle them out using it as a fulcrum. Older I got less I liked it then I got to messing around and ended up with what’s close to your double cable !

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hi Steve, thank you for watching and subbing! You are so right about the trapping ideals and ingenious ways of figuring out problems.

[@davidmingues9553]

I really like the spring in the middle of the chain. That would have held a cat that pulled out of my trap when I walked up 2 days ago. Huge bobcat,,,no.2 trap. What size trap is best for coyotes and bobcats?

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

We have large Coyotes here and wolves and Lynx. For Foot Holds I like to use MB 750's But 550 or 650 should work for smaller yotes. The extra spring takes the snap out of the pull and I think really helps to hold them.

[@davidmingues9553]

@@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders thanks for the info ontrap size. I have been looking at no.3 Bridger 4 spring traps with offset jaw. I ordered one to look it over. It seems to be a really good trap.

[@davidayotte9697]

That is cool.thanks for showing me that

[@frankiecrouch3918]

This is an awesome video and I find all of your videos informative. Did you cut the pipe about 3 inches long and what size nuts did you you use?

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Yes the pipe is 3"-3.5" long and the nuts were sized according to the cable size I was using. You want enough room in the nut for the cable to move freely.

[@HouseBladeDesign]

Cool idea....u could also do that with pogos drill a hole in the washer..I make all mine also.neat channel i subbed

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank you House Knives! What ever you can do to adapt to your style...thank you for the Sub!

[@houndsman406]

Good deal

[@R-S_vids]

excellent method, thanks for sharing.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank you David, we trappers are always trying to make something a little different to suit a certain situation. Appreciate your watching and comment.

[@toddcaskey9984]

Nice system I'm going to copy when I get a welder

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thanks Todd...

[@toddcaskey9984]

Paul Nicholls - Pausabni Traders I really like your videos , you are down to earth , that's what I like , and you are not trying to show off . Good job and please keep it up and keep the vids coming. Todd

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Thank you for your kind words Todd Caskey

[@toddcaskey9984]

Paul Nicholls - Pausabni Traders What is the pausabni traders? I tried looking it up and could not find out ?

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Paul, what are the lengths you use for the two cables on you anchor. Great video. I learned a lot from it.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hello! It will depend on the types of soil you trap in. The anchors in this video are 18" and 21" after the have been looped. Depending on the size of loop you want, you will need to leave your cables a little longer. In lighter soil types they will need to be longer. Thank you for watching and for the awesome comments. Let me know how they work for you.

[@mattwilliams5435]

Great idea thanks

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hi Matt, glad you enjoyed it. These work great in a variety of soil types.

[@ranchertrapperdieselbuilds3632]

2 cables on it so when you pull it it just flips around to make you're life alot easier instead of digging in etc..... ingenuous... thanks now I'm making about 30. You should patient that lol

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Glad you like them, let me know how they work for you. Thanks for watching!

[@jacqueslemay8728]

Very smart!!

[@frankhampton5961]

I will make some thank you.

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hello Frank, I am glad you were able to get something from my channel! Thank you for subbing and watching!

[@lordrichard8184]

What tools and gear do you carry when you go out on the trap line?

[@PaulNichollsPausabniTraders]

Hey Billy Bob, what I carry depends on what part of the season I am trapping and what traps I am setting. But I always carry a Fiskars Machete, Hatchet, Wire Cutters, a couple different plies and 2 types of folding knives. A container of various nails and staples, 2 types of wire...and the list goes on. Also lots of safety/emergency items. Thanks for watching!
