So, I figured what else makes a GB costume with a pack…a Trap! I know it’s not the most accurate but, it does the trick!

Made mainly of wood and plexyglass. The wheels are rollerblade wheel bearings.

The trap isn’t completely light. I don’t have the accurate belt holder, and I didn’t know if the fitting would hold the weight of it with it being held by the hose. Long story short, a few of my friends were going to see Ghostbusters that night at the theater, in costume. I didn’t want to worry about the trap not holding up by the fitting, so I added that clamp and used a climbing clip to hold it to my belt by that clamp. It is on my list of things to change!

Heh, I kinda thought that the cable clamp was for that purpose.. Now short story long, what were the reactions of the rest of the audience when you went in, full costumed I wonder…?

Nice trap, let’s see your other stuff..

Oh, we were a big hit. It was myself and my friend in our GB stuff, and his wife in a [Zuul](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/zuul) costume. We got a lot of people wanting pictures. Took some pictures in the old theater to set up for photoshopping later. Also were invited into a private Ghostbuster party thanks to our costumes! However, I must say, the screening of it…wasn’t as entertaining because of the rest of the crowd. I mean, literally every other line in the movie, made everyone chuckle. So, that got old. Other than that I thouroughly enjoyed it!
