One thing we do always carry in a net bag is a folding saw,,, not only are these handy for cutting branches to get to a warren,,, or cutting slots in hedges to run a stop net,, or roots,,,, but you can often pull a rabbit out using them,,, you twist the teeth of the saw in to the fur of dead rabbit y
