Yep finally got it up on the wall. Got some ideas from a little help from Gareee. It only cost me around $4. I bought the wood and two 88 cents hooks that hold thirty pounds each from Lowes. I think it turned out pretty good. Check out a video here…

Simple and to the point, can’t argue that. Looks good!

One suggestion I sent him via PM, was to do a yellow base coat on the wood, and then use electrical tape to make the black stripes, just like the traps had.

After seeing Creel’s new charity stand, I kinda want more of a mechanical look to the wall mount.

That’s an awesome idea, but don’t know if my wife would go for the stripes 😁 , but maybe the yellow.

I will admit in person the natural look kinda gives a cool look. maybe I’ll paint or not. I’m not sure yet. Thanks for the compliments! I’ll post this stuff on your post later on in the week. Have a good one!

Yep. I had a stud finder and put 4 long screws right into the studs. I wanted to make sure there was no chance of it falling.

I found this great hook at an Ace hardware store

I have them mounted up high so I can hang the suit on the lower hook.

The pack sits at a slight angle down making a great display.
