If in windy places go with sand. Now if you have to carry a long ways use dirt .

make your sets so water will run off. If it cannot the water will freeze and set will not work. Next day remove the ice set should be ok if bedded in wax dirt. be careful trap could freeze down from the bottom and the top looks ok.
