Yea, I used to make extra traps on the harder hunts back in the day. That is why I called myself the trap master. I'd bring some trap tools along with thunderbugs or spiderweb/net (I forget which one) and make extra traps. I would have some fail on making but I usually could get at least 1 or 2 extra traps on top of the traps that I took. Usually, I blow through my traps semi quick and let others save theirs for later.
Sometimes I would even bring honey to turn my potions into mega after I consumed all megas.
