Not sure of the question. If it is "Is it common for thru-hikers to carry 
mousetraps?" I'd say no. Least not for southbounders. When I 
section-hiked, I almost always got with southbounders (cause I hiked late 
in the year). When I southbounded, I was with s-bounders from Hanover on. 
The only time I've ever seen a mousetrap on the Trail was when I was with 
Luke and Jane. Not sure if norhtbounders carry 'em more often, or not.
