STEM Award #2 – 5/16 Trapper Purse

(Engineer & Model: Javelis from Lake County)

How does one carry multiple traps into a marsh without it dragging and getting caught in the brush? Enter Javelis from Lake County to offer wisdom and guidance. She strung several small traps together via a colorful and durable rope strap that formed the Trapper Purse. And let me tell you that is purse is meant to last ladies, not even snappers can steal it from your shoulders. Thank you Javelis for sharing this incredible and useful invention!
