I MESSED UP BADLY : Wilderness Trapline

[@DavidDudleyFishing]

Joe I struggled backing a trailer up when I first started towing. Dont give up! You will get the hang of it.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

HAHAH I will get there buddy

[@RandyChaseII]

I'm always going to love how you show it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. I've been there.

[@nathanquirion3830]

I can relate when you said that, "you could hear your dad's voice in your mind." I appreciate the fact that you're willing to share when mistakes are made and how you work your way out of them!

[@timothyeldridge7845]

Joe you don’t keep anything from your viewers! Just another reason to love these videos! You could have cut all that out but being the man you are you are willing to show us all! Makes me respect you even more! All I could think was damn I wish I could be there to help you! Anyone who has a negative comment has never been in a tough situation! So pay no mind to them! I’m glad you finished out the day with some great catches

[@keithberger]

You started this deal saying you'll be ethical, lawful, and honest. Showing us the true trials, tribulation, handwork, and mishaps is a treat to tge viewers. And make THAT Fisher a Grand Prize. Totally awesome 👌

[@georgemarkham1130]

Hey Joe you can't foresee everything, What learned from the Marine Corps years ago was to improvise, adapt and overcome! That's what you did! You used your head, powered thru it and made it happen! I,m proud of you brother!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you for the support, you're right, always gotta improvise, adapt and overcome.

[@JohnJones-vx7cr]

You know Joe, a lot of folks would edit out misfortunes like you had, but you use them as a learning tool. Bravo to you. Good idea on moving the trap across the river. Congrats on the fisher and glad the day turned around. Hopefully nothing was damaged. Thank you for the video. Have a good night.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, I make a lot of mistakes , learn from them, and try to make less mistakes. I put myself in a lot of tough situations and love sharing them with everyone to maybe learn from good or bad. I appreciate it John. Ended up being an incredible day right!

[@JohnJones-vx7cr]

I learned a long time ago, no one’s perfect specially me. That’s how you learn is from doing dumb s..t! Being able to smile about it is good. Maybe not at the time but down the path. Good night, Trapper Joe.

[@tomhowland2431]

We've all definitely been there Joe! Great channel! Congratulations on a successful season, looking forward to your ice fishing season/videos and Donnie and friends!

[@briannagorman3119]

Lower air pressure and carrying tire chains was always a must in the winter when I lived in upstate New York. Always had some ice melt and sand along with a good shovel.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I appreciate the advice, it's good to be prepared

[@heartproblems2727]

Id prefer to be lucky than good any day of the week. Glad it all worked out. Another excellent day on the trap line to boot. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe Joe.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks for the support, I’m glad it worked out!

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

What a day! Glad you got out and still made some catches! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, appreciate the support!

[@juntzjoking]

Living in Wisconsin we all feel your pains!! But you sure got paid in the end!!! Great day Great video!!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@stevenbabb2958]

Glad you weren’t hurt Joe! Nice fisher and martins; warmed your wet feet right up.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

so true, It's amazing the pep in a step after a catch

[@guidoguido8677]

If you haven't found yourself in a mess like that, you haven't spent enough time outdoors. Weve all had days like that, well handled 👍🏼

[@JoeHollandFishing]

well put, thank you.

[@thomasmorris3257]

Ya know, when Dudley sees this he gonna be all over you 😂 Jack knifed, water in the boots and almost had the trifecta when that trap snapped at ya. Reminds me of my driveway fiascos. Glad it worked out.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

hahah truth on all accounts

[@MegaMadTrapper]

Hi Joe, great video. I think those of us who spend any time in the bush trapping or hunting or fishing when the snow comes and starts to build has had an episode like you had. I had a similar situation in where I thought ok I can make that shirt up hill distance and have things go north in the blink of an eye. Good on you for finding the solution and following through to get your truck and trailer out. This is the type of video that draw me and other people to your channel, honest and true experiences as a trapper. Cheers MT

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you my friend! Not always the best moves, not always doing things right, but always trying, never quitting.

[@MegaMadTrapper]

@ yup absolutely

[@MH-yu5yp]

You’re just getting the bugs worked out this year, next year will be super smooth!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I like the way you think,

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Wood ashes works good for traction also Joe I always throw my wood stove ashes on my drive way in winter and come spring the ashes sort of disappear , into the road , but right size chains would of got you out without a problem , and still time to get trailer out if someone gets you the right chains in time before the snow gets hard and to deep ,

[@MatthewLaursen-q7y]

Went from bad luck to awesome luck! Nice catch on the fisher!!!

[@zarylbekabdykaev5800]

Should build a covered sand box on top of your driveway

[@bobmitchell8688]

Yes, Four chains on the 4wd , stay tuned!

[@chiphafford8967]

Joe I’ll drop off a snow blower and some sand salt 😂

[@chiphafford8967]

Be good to have some under a tarp just in case of bad rain or freezing rain.

That was a oh Fu** ! moment right there ! been there done that !

truth

[@keithmcallister4917]

@@JoeHollandFishing Joe those weren’t mistakes but a learning experience ! But if you don’t learn from them then it’s a mistake !

[@lee_t_outside6471]

Joe you need one of these mini extendable shovels for checking traps they’re so great for odd things like this I use to have one strapped to my snowmobile. Chezmax scamazon store 25” small kids digging shovel.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

thank you I will check them out.

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Get in touch with Bob from jackman, I believe. You and I spoke previously during a live stream about how he subcontracts all of his snowshoe building to Charleston correctional facility. (Yes I’ve spent time there. Yes I battled addiction for 20+ yrs. But here I am, nearly 8yrs free with a moderately successful construction business of my own. Save the hate….please) I can’t remember bobs last name but he’s very well known. He donates all proceeds from the snowshoes to pine tree camp and special Olympics. He also does a ton for wounded warrior project. I’m sure someone in this comment section knows him. He’s got a guide service around the jackman/Rangely area. He can certainly set you up with the oversized shoe that I built a jig for about 10yrs ago

[@JoeHollandFishing]

No hate from here, Congratulations. It aint about falling it's about how you get up. Sounds like those would be the right snowshoes and company to support thank you I hope I find more info on them.

[@jamiebouchard9862]

@ I’ll do my best to find out more and will comment on the next vid

[@jamiebouchard9862]

@ google “Maine guide snowshoes. Their names are Bob and Andrea. If you get in touch with them tell Bob you’d like a set of xxl snowshoes that you and Jamie b designed at Charleston correctional facility (ccf). Their website says if they don’t already make what you need, to give em a minute while they make it. Hopefully this is helpful

[@350mack]

I thought there was more camps where someone goes around and plows/sands. Make a clip of when you slid backwards and hit that tree with the trailer.

[@jonchrzanowski725]

A man that hasn't made a mistake is either a bold faced liar, or hasn't had many life experiences or learned something new.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

so true, I mess up daily. Just try to learn from them and minimize them or the results.

[@garywhelton9304]

Well that sucks but that is the truth about trapping . Might have ben a good idea to take all that snow out of the trailer , I check most of my traps with an old rifle scope that way i leave less scent and save time .

[@timjk32]

Did you gun blue all your traps??

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Trap Dyed most of them

[@davepetkau482]

Hey Joe what would it cost me for a fisher or a marten to be sent to British Columbia Canada?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I really have to make sure I can ship outside of the USA . Lets do some research feel free on your end too

[@MLSPlatforms]

Put a piece of rubber 6”X6” over your latch couple roof nails to hold 1 side , will keep latch clean to open

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks for the tip! I think I saw Trapping Todays like that looked smart.

[@MLSPlatforms]

I’m thinking it’s Donnie’s trailer that’s bad luck 😂

haha, This one was on me for sure!

Are you still Joe Holland fishing or did you change to Joe Holland Wildman? Asking for a friend.

thank goodness this wasn't today. It was zzero earlier and yesterday. Sat was 14 with steady 20 mph wind and gusts to 35. It was near unbearable

[@JoeHollandFishing]

haha yup, we had -10 I slept out on the trapline overnight. Stay tuned for that vid.

[@JoseyWales-m5b]

It’s called preseason work, you should be checking traps and not messing around with your driveway while h you should of taken care of when it was nicer weather, also you should of had a barrel of sand on that incline mixed with salt along the side

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Yeah I learned my lesson.

[@wayneladd7509]

Sorry that what intold the wife came to be. But Joe you over came and will again. Me and lots ofvothers are concerned about you and your well being

[@jbell0019]

next time try dropping your tire air pressures down to 15 PSI you will be surprised how much more traction you will get.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Good advice! I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Oh no !!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

yup

[@briannagorman3119]

Don’t your hands get cold 🥶

[@JoeHollandFishing]

every once in awhile. If i didn't wear gloves while snowmobiling they would be cold for sure.

[@Utah_Mike]

I’m not a trapper but Why not bring the sled with you on the trap line run?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Sled being Snowmobile? That's what we call it. Or tote sled behind snowmobile? I prefer the snowmobile most of the time but if I have to jump back and forth its sometimes easier just to stay in the truck .

[@thomaspease4620]

Wood ash works well for me

Put down some hot ashes from the wood stove
