Day On The Line

[@Erated78]

Hey thanks Norm, the Marten fur is indeed beautiful - the Wolverine fur on your hood is awesome looking. Nice that you’re getting more snow to smooth out the trails. Wonderfully captured throughout the video, the tea breaks, sun rise/setting sky shots, wind swept tundra, and close out music all make for an awesome video, thanks and cheers

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thank you 78 and your welcome

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

As always, a great production. Those Stanley Thermos' are great. I use a lrage one for a day excursion and the smaller one for a morning outing. Thanks for your efforts.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Mine still holds heat but the lid is worn out. It’s pretty old like me lol. Thanks Reg

[@rangepro]

Its EXACTLY what WE want to watch>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>please keep it going!!!

[@truenorthliving9557]

You bet pro

[@frederickmoller]

Thanks Norm, I really enjoyed it as 'usual' and I'm not a Trapper, but I love riding along with you, and learning some things that I never knew!

[@truenorthliving9557]

You bet Fred

[@keithcotnoir6331]

Norm. I haven't seen a post since this one, maybe I missed one, just checking in,,

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Nice seeing you pull those beautiful Marten in, Norm. Hopefully you can tie onto a wolf or 2 as well. I watch your whole show from beginning to end. I enjoy it so much. I get up earlier then the rest of the family so it's my time to sit down with a cup of coffee and follow you on your adventures! Thx Brother. Take care.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks Camo , I appreciate that.

[@dantemagro9997]

Great job on this Video looks like the Martin are plentiful this year By the way I watch these videos from start to finish…….

[@truenorthliving9557]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jim-z5g4y]

awesome videos good pics,my bro and me watch your shows together he comes to my place.lots of good days for your trapline.take care-jimbo

[@truenorthliving9557]

That’s awesome User. Really like hearing things like that.

[@axemanfishing2703]

Excellent video Norm. Always fun watching your videos, especially when you get a few Martin along the way. Glad to see you back at it and sharing what you love doing with us. The future looks good norm. Lets get ya over 10K subs, come on people, hit that subscribe and like button.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Very kind axe. I’m not worried about subs. I have enough fun with you guys. If more come it’s cool but definitely not important. Take care bud

[@timroth2945]

From a frustrated Minnesota Wild fan to a “True North”! Jets fan, your season seems to mimic your hockey team! I at least have your channel to look forward too, and when you guys get to the playoffs, beat the s___t out of those Stars for us please! Keep up the great work, my wife and I are always excited when we get your notification that you have a new video!

[@truenorthliving9557]

Love hearing that. I’m glad you guys enjoy the channel. Jets are playing some great hockey.

[@dawnleyrer1495]

Sure wish winter would last longer…..I very much enjoy your videos 😊

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thank you! I agree, I’m a winter baby. lol

[@robertsimard735]

Good morning Norm. Thanks for a wonderful ride on the trapline. Looks like you had an awesome catch. Till next time, have a great week,stay safe.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Good morning! And thanks

[@rogerbrown5120]

Good day Norm, I watch a ton of hunting and trapping videos but none can hold a candle to yours. Your vids are entertaining and full of knowledge without any of the B.S. that some U-Tubers have gotten into, sponsorship from vendors have spoiled lots of good storytelling because the video creator has gotten into commercial products instead of telling their trapping/hunting story. That said Norm please keep up the great work you are doing. I cant wait until your next video comes out. All the best and keep the skidoo track on the snow.

[@truenorthliving9557]

I MIGHT do one or two videos a season like that. Really thinking on it. It’s not me but I’m not rich either. If a power station company comes along I would keep that. If somebody wanted me to test something for them such as clothing then I might test it then give it away as a gift tho one of you because that’s who I am. I’ve always been honest in my videos to all of you and have asked you on all aspects of my channel. I will probably do the same with a TNL NEWS video to ask again. Cheers

[@kaseyhyde6503]

Nice looking martens. Do you have a fur vest , Norm? A couple friends have had them made from the fur they trapped. Beaver , and coyote I believe. Those reddish marten would make a pretty vest. Keep up the hard work. We appreciate you.

[@truenorthliving9557]

No I don’t. I personally don’t think that’s for me. I bet they look ok though. Thanks Kasey

[@OVtimmy]

OMG. It seems like a month since last video. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas. 😊 Nice haul new bait seems pretty good eh? I love the new hood as it looks so warm. Thanks so very much for the ride. I feel like I'm there. Good luck on the line Norm. Hope you get some more snow soon.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Stuck inside for two days now. Blizzard here. 👍👍

[@OVtimmy]

@truenorthliving9557 Holy crap! Good time do do some skinning I guess? Nows a good time to make some more soup 🍲 😋. Too bad you didn't have fresh rabbit or one of those grouse. Take good care of your self my friend

[@ianmasterton911]

Lovely Marten, good thick pelts - must be very satisfying 👌

[@victorfortin542]

Well that was a productive day. I lost count. Wondering if you will have more animals around this year due to forest fires in the area? Thanks for the ride Norm, love tagging along!!

[@truenorthliving9557]

No.. nothing to do with fires. Must be a peak year. Lots of guys saying there is more marten around,

[@bobstewart4342]

I can't get enough of your videos> I watch from end to end then watch it again then do it again..The lifestyle has me hooked. stay safe

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks Bob, very kind of you.

[@goindownhill1116]

Thanks Norm. You keep it real. I go out in the north Michigan woods for half a day and think I’m a tuff woodsman. Then I come home and watch your channel and laugh at myself. You’re a tuff Canadian Norm. 👍 🌲🇨🇦 🌲

[@truenorthliving9557]

Oh I bet your tougher then me. lol very kind words. Got a two day blizzard here. Finally got out yesterday with my guest. Take care GDH

[@timyates7093]

Hi Norm, I’m curious about the GPS you use, what kind is it and is it easy to use?

[@truenorthliving9557]

GPSMAP 66s very easy to use for me.

[@lorisabor6251]

I look forward to your videos every fall please keep making them

[@truenorthliving9557]

I will loris

[@finpainter1]

Awesome wolf hide on wall.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks, got it out front while building the cabin.

[@rackman5111]

Hey Norm great video 👍 and nice catch 👌 I was thinking you might have to get a roll cage for the Skandic 😂

[@truenorthliving9557]

Bhahaha

[@waynesogge5802]

Very nice video thanks for sharing the fur on your coat looks warm nice martin

[@truenorthliving9557]

Oh it’s warm and keeps that wind off of me.

[@mainemagic4968]

Goodday Norm, Hope the snow comes your way to smooth out your trails. Maine is now recovering from 12' waves from the lunar tides. Lots of damage to roads and many 100+ year old fish shacks were lost to the waves. Erosion really messed with the homes close to the water and the wind damage to power will take about a month to be restored. They cannot drive on the roads as they got washed out. They were using huge front end loaders to cart the fire/ rescue folks through neighborhoods that were flooded. Our firehouse was giving out gallon zip lock bags of baking soda to households using a fireplace for heat. Glad we have some ready and enough for our two neighbors if they need some. Stay warm and Cheers from Maine.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Oh my goodness, my prayers go out to all of you. I did get snow. Two day blizzard went through. It’s way better now.

[@outpostcamp]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed it. Lots of success also. Thanks - from Hells Canyon, Frank.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thank you outpost , fun day

[@MrMarkar1959]

👍🏼 Hello Norm,,completely Off subject,,My Brother asked,,Would a 6 or 8 wheeled Amphicat work in Your Sector of Life?? Okay. Nice Catch👍🏼Cheap on Fish🤣,,i'm no expert but pine needle tea can help with the cough and boost VitC immune system. Gotta be Somebody tried it besides me and lived😇✌🏼

[@truenorthliving9557]

I was thinking of it the other day. Good tea. 6 wheeler would be ok in the summer for sure.

[@nicholascurto2093]

Its our pleasure visiting with you with your skillful videos. 20 mins or 2 hours we're here each time with you, thanks again for taking us along. We'll keep praying for more snow on the great white Nord. Best and stay safe navigation those hummocks ....Adirondack Nick

[@truenorthliving9557]

Storming for two days now Nick . Should better out there now. Find out tomorrow. Cheers

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Awesome stuff Norm, don't change a thing. I wonder how many of your viewers were thinking that you were picking your nose LOL. Later buddy and tight chains.

[@truenorthliving9557]

lol… a few I’m sure. Thanks Barry

[@charlesmanning2523]

Right on bro getting some nice prime fur hope you snag that marten eating fox good luck down the line

[@truenorthliving9557]

I hope so too Charles

[@davidingram353]

I thought there would be no more upsets Norm. You need more snow, it might be a short season without it. Great episode, Stay safe and keep the rubber side down.

[@truenorthliving9557]

You got that right but I made a new trail lol. Two day blizzard over. Good to go now.

[@darrenpatterson2579]

Would like you to start a segment in your show called "WILL IT CATCH A MARTIN "use different types of bait such as sliding a chocolate bar onto the trigger. The variety is endless. Just wanted to throw out an idea for you to consider. Nice martin, very light coats.

[@truenorthliving9557]

I really like that Darren. Let me think on that ok.

[@kipw.5420]

Howdy, Norm, from Northeastern Indiana. Currently, we are experiencing an Arctic cold snap. Brrrr. If you don't mind me asking, what's the current rate for Marten Fur?

[@truenorthliving9557]

On average they sell for 80.00 dollars Canadian.

[@davidgarner8990]

Awesome adventure Norm…….such beautiful country and glad to see you got some Martin. See it is getting colder there and that is better for you. As I said before, I so enjoy your channel and your work out there. It has dropped down here to 15 degrees tonight, it is 6:40pm here right now. You take care and stay well my friend, and I will always go along for the ride…………….dave in southern new jersey

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks Dave, it’s fun out here.

[@marygordon3032]

Hey Norm I hope that whatever got your marten gets caught in one of your traps 🪤! Love the jacket. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Can't wait! Thanks Devin

[@kevinvroman2012]

Hi Norm , I see you still haven't got the snow you wanted. I know you've mentioned seeing lynx tracks, when's the last time you caught one?

[@truenorthliving9557]

Never have caught one.

[@lakotakrueger5354]

Thank you Norm beautiful movie as always be safe see you on the next one 👋👍🏻

[@truenorthliving9557]

[@charliefryer5184]

Always happy you invite us along on the ride. I'm surprised when the music starts seems like I just started watching.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Then I did my job.👍 thanks Charlie

[@wonaegun7143]

Norm do you have neighbours to the sides of your line? And have you seen or tried the Alberta Sennecker wolf snare? What about power rams?

[@truenorthliving9557]

Nobody traps around me. A friend traps 100 miles south but the other lines are empty. I don’t think I have tried those snares. I’ll look them up.

[@larryhawkes1347]

For the past two or three years, my friend and I have been using the Walmart Ozark Trail 24 oz double wall stainless steel vacuum sealed bottle, here in Utah they're only $9. We have been very impressed for how well they keep the hot chocolate hot while we are out snow biking. Larry

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks Larry, noted

[@davidsanborn5141]

Norm, I used the Rtic brand to keep my drinks hot or cold while I was a ups driver and nothing works better. Stay safe.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thank you

[@darylcanfield6979]

Norm, Did something happen to Dave Vandermoor, you two have been my favorites for years. Stay health and enjoy the season!

[@truenorthliving9557]

He’s fine, he’s a Forman at a company now plus he has a bad shoulder. He’s trapping this year but no video coming I don’t think.

[@sfs122450]

I like to watch right to the end. You picked some good music for the closing. Thanks, Norm.

Nice ride today. Those sleds are a but tippy. Those Marten look light colored. Thanks for the ride

There not that bad at all. Just rough country when no snow

Great video Norm! Were the couple birds in the video Sharptail grouse? Surprised to see them that far north.

I’m not 💯 Sure. My guess is yes!!

Yes Mike. All mine lol

[@moonshinetrapper7976]

[@NorthernOntarioOutdoors]

Hey great videos.Do you think maybe making the reails on the front of your sleighs to curve upwards and maybe like some bumpers on the underside of your hitch rails might help?

[@truenorthliving9557]

Curve upward more for sure. I usually do them like my small trapping sleigh. Jammed once since I’ve had it. It’s fine. So much room in it.

I might do a few items but I’m different, I’m doing it for you guys. I’m giving away what I test. I’ve thought about it but I think I’ll ask you guys first. I totally understand what you mean though. I’m going to really think about it. I will also only do it for small companies. Not the greedy giants. I’m honest with you guys and I’m not rich, getting a power station for a test would help me. Just my thoughts.

[@williamwaychoff8710]

Nice to see you catching some fur. Marten sure are beautiful. Game Commission are going to introduce them here in Pennsylvania. They did 5hat with Fshers years ago, lots of them around. Allowed to trap 1 with permit
