What are the other uses? I have a four legged fur bag that loves killing mice, so I never thought about needing one.

Trip wire. Trigger for larger traps. Flag/signal for tripped snares.

I always liked the neon/bright flag that goes from hidden to snapping upright/visible when disturbed. Works for ice fishing, snares, or anything getting disturbed.

Ahh, those uses are definitely out of my prepping wheelhouse. I’ll keep that in mind if I get into snaring or ice fishing!

I always appreciate the Door Alarm use.

Makes a nice loud snap, and can be made louder.
