Pack basket

Where is a good place to get a pack basket? I’d like to use one for ice fishing and making trails for tree stands this spring.

I have an old one from LL Bean but don't know if they still sell them or not.
Just Google pack baskets, there should be some choice there.

One of the fur bearers trapping supplies will sell them.

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Many of our local bait & tackle shops and some sporting goods shops sell them.
LL Bean, Kittery Trading Post, AJ's bait & tackle, etc.

Do a google search, they make kits so you can make your own. It’s fun .....

Loring makes a nice one.  It is made with plastic strips and is nearly indestructible.

When I was doing some serious trapping I zip tied a milk crate on the bottom of one of the old aluminum pack frames. It’s indestructible and could hold a lot of weight.

Make one from a new 13 gallon plastic trash bucket from Wal mart. All you need are a couple firing strips, shoulder straps and a rubber car floor mat for a cover. Dave Canterbury builds a nice one on his Youtube channel Self Reliance Outfitters

most of the trapping supply catalogs offer pack baskets, classic equipment for those who run lines.

I made one out of a kitty litter bucket stuffed in an old surplus duffle bag and added shoulder straps.  There is a guy in Maine that makes absolute pieces of art. A bit pricey.
