Not wanting to hijack a hunting thread but planting edibles throughout the yard makes those items easily overlooked by passerby's.

The ability and knowledge to preserve what you harvest is important too. Large game without a plan to preserve the excess is a terrible idea. You can easily go beyond jerky making your own capocollo , or culatello, sauages of all kinds with out a smoker.  I started watching YouTube "Two Guys and a Cooler" as I began my charcutier journey. Started with the full muscle recipes and slowly acquired the tools for sausage making. Still learning but a skill I want to perfect.

Slip in some fava leaves into your next salad, they are a mild green.

I sometimes wear suspenders and use this to keep a knife and a pen accessible.  Has anyone thought of using MOLLE pouches?  There are a million different sizes and attachment to a piece of clothing would only require the straps sewn onto the article being worn.  The vid shows a tactical vest but ignore the camo and imagine denim. The pouches initially were for the military, but a pocket is a pocket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7gRTMYKIKU
Just a generic MOLLE search on Amazon will show the variety out there

Rust is probably not going to be an issue, but with animal traps some just use regular paraffin wax, acrylic floor wax to prevent rust this could be a solution for your triggers.  Fishhooks are made from high carbon steel after all.
 Stainless would probably work but for springiness I think piano wire would be my choice.

Here is a video of a tool that you can make yourself that might help you.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c24PlSXnhnk

Once you get to the bending part, Orthodontic pliers are great.

We make control cable for older car and truck heater controls, small engine cables all the time. If you can imagine the diameter of what that would be it's about.055 of an inch. Amazon for under 20.00 for a 1 pound roll. I have used smaller diameter piano wire for snares.
