ONE OF THOSE DAYS

[@DimensionalHorse]

I just love ur videos, full of interesting & fun things! Thanks Norman for taking me along!!

[@truenorthliving9557]

Glad you enjoy them, thank you.

[@davidgarner8990]

Good job keeping your cool during those “missaps” on trail Norm !!!……when your videos come on my feed they are always viewed first !!! And sometimes a second time. I’m going to send this latest to some friends to view and i’m sure they will subscribe, you take care my friend, stay well and safe………..,,dave

[@Ken-l6e]

I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I do watching them. It must take a lot of extra work and time to set the cameras up. I do some trapping also but mostly beavers. My wife just said to me that video is better than any thing on TV, it is relaxing just listening to it.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Best comment ever. Thank you guys. Very kind.

[@Erated78]

Thank you Norm for the efforts you put into making these videos - I sure appreciate each one. Nice that fur has begun to roll in - boy, the trail looks rough with lack of snow but at least the temps lowered for you. Good luck, cheers

[@truenorthliving9557]

Very welcome

[@rw3100]

Great video Norm 👍🏻📽 .Take it easy on you and the machine 🙂

[@truenorthliving9557]

[@nicholascurto2093]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride, glad it appears you're getting some nice fur critters. Keep up the good vid work as always. Love watching you be successful.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Very kind. Thanks Nich

[@richxts1357]

Norm, you had me worried thar' fer a minute with the unknown track, thought maybe it was a young "Sasquatch"?

[@truenorthliving9557]

Hahaha

[@Shelbkip]

I find your videos to be so cozy to listen to and watch while working on things. Always cool to see another lifestyle in our beautiful country. :D Glad you're okay after your sled tipped over though! also, the pelts look lovely!

[@truenorthliving9557]

You’re always to sweet Shelby. Thank you. 😊

[@katman1957]

I hate when my big 4 stroke sled is on its side, I have even used my 12 volt winch in the side saddle just to right it again. Hope you get some snow soon.

[@truenorthliving9557]

It’s coming Kat. Really need a bit more.

[@larryhawkes1347]

Another joyful and awesome video. Thanks again for all of the effort that goes into taking us along, it's greatly appreciated. Larry

[@truenorthliving9557]

Welcome sir

[@godsoffspring4195]

When all the world is amuck in turmoil, it's nice to relax with Norm to remind us why it's all worth it. And not without mystery, just to keep us on our toes. Norm, some of us are wondering the outcome of that fish you left on the deck. Were the jays a little aggressive when you got home? LOL PS. One more fox reject and you'll have to resort some bush candy. 😉

[@truenorthliving9557]

Jays never touch my gross bait. They’re spoiled. lol It’s so peaceful here, I forget the real world.

[@glengillis7775]

I have Turtled my Expedition a few times also Norm. They just flop over in a second. Wide ski skins help prevent a bit. Good catches Norm. Hey still missing your old closing music. Thanks for the update Mr.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Dam thing won’t load. I’m still on it. Try again for the next video. Pisses me off.

[@steveskinner5561]

Between you Jason Robert’s and the wild north you guys got me into trapping, this fall I’ve caught a few foxes and otter and I’m no expert at it but I’m trying and enjoying every minute of it and watching you guys videos will I’m prove my skills

[@truenorthliving9557]

That’s awesome, I wish you all the best as you learn new skills.

[@thewildnorthnetley3054]

Always watching and always enjoying keep them coming finally got some snow in the south....and happy birthday!

[@truenorthliving9557]

I seen that

[@gulo1349]

Hi Norm, While it’s hard to tell on the video from actual being there, I do not think that is a lynx track as they have a lot of fur on the bottom of their feet. This prevents the track from having that level of toe/pad detail. The end looks like a big male fisher track running away. Perhaps this is your magnum Martens’s track as well? Take care Norm and stay safe

[@truenorthliving9557]

I was wondering that also. Great eye. I will look at the footage and compare tracks on line at some point.

[@andylengerich3859]

Sure is fun getting to go along with you out on the line. Gonna miss seeing that ol trapping sleigh. Be great to catch that lynx! I haven’t done much on snow machines really, but it looks like it’s not the easiest ride. Bet you sleep well up there. The quality of your videos is absolutely outstanding Norm. Really do enjoy them.

[@truenorthliving9557]

In good conditions there great riding but it’s rough going out there. Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate that.

[@peewee.3138]

Was it a lynx or a jackalope? Lol! Keep up the great work, Norm! Storming here in northern New Brunswick today.

[@truenorthliving9557]

😂… maybe. We get snow this week

[@mainemagic4968]

Hey Norm, Good news...Maine got snow...my home had 11" of that fluffy stuff with higher winds than expected...Stay safe and my husband had a deer jump in front of 21 yr old Izusu Rhodeo☹️☹️☹️yup. State guy said we could keep it but too much ground glass in the body...it will go to a trapper over in Sandford Maine for his bait...he drags a deer hind-quarter behind his sled for scent in his trapping area. Cheers, looking for used suv, from Maine.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Oh wow! Ouch. Glad he’s ok. I need fluffy stuff lol

[@wbirch4028]

Great job on the video especially when your having mishaps. Glad your ok. We sure need some snow. My hubby used to trap and he's really impressed with the care and pride in how you put up fur. I appreciate you not showing the gross stuff lol

[@truenorthliving9557]

No need for the gross stuff at all and you’re welcome. Thank him for me, very kind.

[@williammccleary5878]

Omg Norm asked you about the 2 ton come along a week ago and I think I cursed you,,,, lolol so sorry,,, hopefully not again this winter

[@truenorthliving9557]

Hahaha I remember that. Block 😅 kidding of course.

[@stephenmoore2754]

I have what might sound like a stupid question. When you turn the fur right side out, the dried skin sounds quite crackley. Does it ever “break” or tear during that process?

[@truenorthliving9557]

Oh yes!!! You must turn it at the right time, if it’s too dry I soak it in a wet cloth.

[@zippitoff]

@truenorthliving9557 I always wondered about that. Thanks

[@stephenmoore2754]

@@truenorthliving9557Thanks!

[@kusterflattail]

I've never rolled my bearcat, but I've gotten her buried on hillside along beaver pond before. Out with shovel, and dig my way out

[@truenorthliving9557]

Dam heavy machines. Sometimes they’re a pain.

[@kfox4973]

You should watch the speed limit in future. Tickets in your area very expensive and not paid by money 😉 Stay save my friend.

[@truenorthliving9557]

😂

[@niayuq]

Great to see you out again for another season norm. I remember in the early days of youtube with that old polaris, you wouldn't travel during blows or white out conditions. I recommended you get a GPS and mount it than you go can go home anytime. Come a long way.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Yes…. I remember. Great addition to my gear.

[@moonshinetrapper7976]

Norm please be careful out on the line that could have been very bad, praying safe travels & more snow your way!! Stay warm

[@truenorthliving9557]

You bet trapper

[@gman77gas]

One heck of a journey. Good thing you have those cat like reflexes to jump off the sled before ya got pinned!😮

[@truenorthliving9557]

Still move like I’m 20 when needed lol

[@victoriaskuse118]

Well, that’s a promising start to the season …. Long may your luck continue. 😊

[@truenorthliving9557]

Fingers crossed!

[@robertsimard735]

Been on the side a few times. Check your air box. When sled goes on its side the engine oil can go into the air box, leaving engine low on oil. Thanks for bringing us along the trail.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Good tip! I will Robert.

Nice video norm keep on harvesting furs would like to see some wolf trapping have a nice one✋🍺

[@truenorthliving9557]

Will do

[@barrydano1701]

It's a shame what happened to the trapping sleigh. I remember watching the videos of you building it. You were so happy about having a bigger sleigh. As for the big martin tracks and you not saying what you said when you saw them, I'm guessing you dropped an F-bomb 😂😂😂

[@truenorthliving9557]

More then a f-bomb 😂

F#%# me are you f#%# serious f##%#.🤣

Picking off those Marten Norm 👍 gradually getting your traps and snares out ! Nice touch mentioning that fellows name: re sitting in the couch… Keep an eye on those Lynx tracks. Must be seeing more rabbits? Need some colder weather to get the animals moving! You punch in every set on your GPS? Tape helps too! Hoping for wolves to move thru👍 B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@truenorthliving9557]

Every set is punched in my gps but not the 330 or 220 boxes. I move them around all the time.

Hey Norman, do go visit your cabin in the summertime , it must bin hard to all lumber up there. You have one of the best places on earth. One around. The night must be just beautiful. I can't wait to see the north lights . We used to have them down. For the time I see them here in this small town. It's was so beautiful. I was only. I think i was 7 or 9 the last I saw them . Take care, Norman. ❤.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Great day ! Hope you pick a few of those wolves, that nice Marten , Lynx dont sink much in the snow , Hey friend if you tip just cut a 8 foot long tree & stick it in the front part of your track, gives you lots of leverage easy to tip them without winching,

[@michaelhounsell903]

Thanks Norm for the great video, got a question about your blue sleigh, what are the dimensions of it? Building my first sleigh and looking for ideas

[@truenorthliving9557]

Let me check later for you. If I don’t get back to you by Friday night. Remind me.👍

[@rackman5111]

Thanks Norm great video as always and nice catch 👍 I love the different in color on the Martin. Do you think it's the sun that makes them light color?

Very kind Camo. Thank you. Happy trapping bud

[@maplehick364]

Thanks for the videos norm. It makes me feel like im almost there! The way you put that martin up is the way i put mink up. It seems to bunch the fur up more on the back above the tail.

Hey Norm it looked like your rope was stretching! Get yourself a length of synthetic winch rope makes all the difference using a come along and winches no stretch! As always love your videos better than Tv ✌️

[@truenorthliving9557]

Thanks for the tip sir

[@alaskatrac]

Hi Norm from Dave in Alaska. I have done marten with the hind legs tacked next to the tail and also think it is a good presentation of the fur. Not sure if it helps on length. Glad to see you are having fun. Best wishes to you.

[@truenorthliving9557]

👍👍

[@nativecree1]

Happy New Year!! Winter weather has finally arrived in my part of Northern Manitoba too, along with the freezing temperatures. On the bright side, though, not a mosquito or blackfly around. If the hitches are the same width, why not swap them around, and keep using the bigger sleigh? Just a thought. Good luck with the trapping season this year, the pelts can only get better with this cold weather.

[@truenorthliving9557]

All the hitches are different. They were all my brothers that moved south. I’m just using them up. It’s time to get Yukon

[@TheWildYam]

Evening Norm! Gotta love Jason's saying!

Hello again. Happy new year. I hope your successful this trapping season. I hear Martin n Lynx are priced high .

[@truenorthliving9557]

I heard that also Russ. Would be nice.

[@mylesmclean7121]

Hi Norm nice video I also pin the hind legs by the tail . A furgrader suggested that method to me as that way it brunches the thick fur up onto the back making it for a better grade. Makes sense to me when he said it and I also like the look of it better . Thanks for sharing

[@truenorthliving9557]

Great to hear.

[@johnchristie1423]

The legs to the back bunches up the fur...and was desirable to see when working on the grading table.

[@truenorthliving9557]

Nice!!!

[@davidingram353]

The lack of snow is making traveling difficult and dangerous. Hope the back feels better Norm. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Be careful out there.
