If you’re like me you’ve idly wished for a simple life of trapping and long hunting while sitting in your warm house. But we wake up and realize that it is a life of privation and hardship most of us aren’t prepared for.
That in mind these videos by YouTube Channel The Wild North gives you a glimpse into modern trapping and a taste into the hard work it takes to run a real trapline. Be warned, Canadians curse a lot:
Part II:
Part III:
There are more videos to enjoy, and disillusion you armchair trappers out there.
Enjoyed….
How do I contact the guy doing the trapping in these videos?
Click the video and contact the poster through his YouTube channel.
Great stuff! Learning from one who does rather than some couch commando. Its a ruff life but beats the big city.
I often daydream of become a full time trapper or woodsbum. But all the real money is up north and I love my SC weather too much. One of these days I’ll take off to the swamp and build me a shack, hunt some gators and hunt some ‘seng.
I could watch this stuff all day long, you are living my dream! Maybe in my next life, eh?
Keep the videos coming! I make a cup of coffee and sit and watch these trapping videos. For hours. Your living the dream of so many of us. Also I was wondering if their is a lot. Of muskrats in your area? With the 10 dollar price per rat you could make a good profit. The beaver lynx mink and wolverine videos are awesome. I watch everyone with great ethusiasm. Give charlie a pat on the head for me. I lost my chocolate lab last year and still miss her. Good luck in the wild north.
