That little dog collar clamp will be the next weakest link.
I'm going to have the other end of the chain attach to a big steel ring, and that ring go around a large T-post I drive down in the ground.
This is definitely my first pass though, and I will be watching closely for any failures of components, then adjust my strategy from there if needed.

You will soon see how destructive hogs are.
Allow some time to search for your missing pig pipe!

The snap hook needs to stay since it swivels and is what will ensure the chain does not bind up. However, I have heeded your recommendation and upgraded the wire significantly. I'm quite certain that this setup will be more than adequate against any stresses the hogs jostling of the pipe will place on any of its components. What do y'all think?

And so the ranch weekend begins! I set up the trap, baited it with corn, Pig Out, and strawberry soda.
Now, after enjoying a well-earned beer, I'm curling up in a sleeping bag in the back of my truck to get some Z's.
I'll post pics of the trap in the morning, and post before/after pics of this weekend's projects.
