I've been watching trapping videos made by TheWildNorth on youtube. The lad knows his stuff and his videos really put you on the line with him. His line is in the NWT. His bush craft is good also. I've used his "fire log" trick a few times this week and it has 100% changed how I start a fire on snow. "Right on. Peace." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXY3pmAkFPo |

Cool 330 cubbies made into tree trunks, also. No maintenance sets that will last for years.
The one where he has just shot a moose is pretty intense. The fact that he grabs the camera, while in the boat, is surprising. TWN isn't certain where the moose is then it lifts it's head. Charlie the dog gets an earful! You really get a feel as if you are there.

The chainsawed tree trunk cubby for mink looks good. Would want to try it down here but 'coon wouldn't leave it alone.

I spent quite a few minutes, ok maybe an hour, watching his videos. Real good stuff and like his colorful language. LOL. Some good tips also.
Like the fire log.

Lighting a fire when on snow is a major pain. The snow melts, the wood gets wet, you get not much heat and you get wet due to the melted snow. With the fire log much of this is avoided. The burning log becomes the stand for your cooking pot. The heat is all up and the snow isn't slushy around you. And it burns HOT.
But you need a dead tree (rarely a problem) and your chain saw. It's one of the most useful pieces of bush craft I've learned in a while.
"Right on. Peace."

The bear and cubs were bold - stayed right in camp with them yelling and the dog barking. Never saw how that episode finally ended. Maybe bear sausage.
I watch a little now and again. Good stuff. Hay River, NWT.

He didn't want to kill the bears. Too cute.
His hare snaring stuff was different, too. He baits them.
