So last year was one of my first really trying to trap. Twice I had my quick link unscrew resulting in one trapping disconnecting from the earth anchor and a racoon leaving with my trap. The other was a coyote but even though the quick link unscrewed, he was still stuck. My question is what do you do to eliminate this issue? Is it as simple as wrenching the quick link tight versus tightening with fingers or do I need to go further (maybe even taping the nut closed)?

Double them up and orient them different ways(have one gate screwing up and the other down) is one way. I use "sleep ez" hooks which are just like the screw gated caribeeners we use on our saddles.
The other way is to use a virgin j-hook on the end swivel to connect to earth anchor.

Use a screwdriver and a wrench to tighten up

I used a body trap once, so I’m no trapper, but I used a small stainless steel carabiner that I had laying around.
