I have the winch mounted and the cables run that crank the thing up but i can’t for the life of me come up with a good setup on how to release this thing. Does anyone on here use a drop trap and if so is it possible to get some pics of the release setup ? I have tried a few different setups but come up failing . Thanks in advance

It did a really good job at holding the door up after getting the angles right and length of cable. I was using paracord but it had to much stretch so I used the cable instead.

Spectra cord like the synthetic winch ropes but smaller. Amazon has it. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

Chickenrig OP 4 point Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 554 Clayton,Al	I have cables set up but its the part that the cables connect to and the release that i’m having trouble with .i tried a car door latch but the trap is so heavy that it wont release right and hangs up . I can keep it on the winch and use a stick or similar but it falls to slow . I have a seperate set of cables that is for the release . I got with my local NRCS guy to see if anyone local uses a drop trap . He’s looking into it for me . I will drive a good bit to be able to see one if anyone knows of one . Thanks for ya’lls help

Then take a 2x4 and place under plywood for the entrance height, drive a eye screw in the top of the plywood and run cable or cord through it and place two rebar at an angle. Then take a stick or piece of wood and tie your cable or string to it and place behind rebar off the ground. remove 2x4 from under plywood and door should be set.

Thanks again for everyones input Our God is good

Chickenrig OP 4 point Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 554 Clayton,Al	Update Finally bought a GSM reciever on AT&T And a Reolink Go self contained camera on Verizon Drops with a text or call , Put it in service last week on a friends place And it works great !! Not perfect but great! Since i have to toggle between two apps But for the money savings over a production built camera system it is great. Had 3 75lbers come in and get comfortable in the corn pile and dropped it!!! Got em !!! It sure was worth the time it took to get it figured out thanks to Kbush for sending me pics Of the release!!! If someone can post a few pics i would be thankful I have a few farmers around here that want me to build them one so we will see where that leads Thanks to all who chimed in
