Trapping Tales 2015 Pt Four

a normal day in the north lynx in snares setting traps and working the trapline. setting the flip up snare

[@keidall]

Andrew buddy, I gotta say, your videos are something I look forward to everyday..always awaiting your next adventure!!

[@rodney12310]

Loved the snowshoes!!! Another nice lynx!!! Good luck with that flip up snare!!

[@jamesgsmith5379]

I was waiting for the old flip-up snare.Those are so cool.Those were some well made shoes-

[@tomm2812]

I learn a lot from your videos. Andrew. Best

[@kriswhite2551]

Andrew is it? Thanks for making these videos and giving us a look into your unusual lifestyle. It's encouraging to see someone living an independent life providing for themselves the necessary things they need to live from one extreme to the next such as yourself. I'll keep watching and maybe I too will find the impetus to want to venture back to Alaska one day. I've been there three times commercial fishing but I always wanted to go further in. Keep up the good work and seriously....you need to maintain the equipment dude.

[@codysorell]

Good to see your clips again. Your just slaying them Lynx good job out there your the man. Just set my line today excited to do done checking looking forward for more videos from you keep it up.

[@westendtrapper8536]

These clips on youtube are awesome and informative. Keep them coming.

[@boxman09]

Awesome to see you back making videos regularly bro.

[@harypare]

love the videos Andrew I check my youtube everyday to see any updates on the trap line. keep up the wicked videos man!!

[@emilyh9076]

I'm re-watching this whole series again waiting on Trapping Tales 2016 ;)

[@TheWildYam]

Liked the red lens flare at 1:35. Very cool. In regard to ravens: Once when I was in the bush I heard this sound of a voice saying "Oh hello"....."Oh hello". Kinda freaked me out as I was the only one around. Heard it again.."Oh hello". Heard a noise in the tree nearest to me and a raven flew away. Scared the crap out of me. I put it down to the fact that someone probably fed it peanuts or something and trained it to say a couple words when it was young. Or it was a shape-shifter or trickster. LOL. Anyways, I headed back the cabin quickly after that.

[@killan001]

you are lucky to did not end up as a windego's lunch

[@Barbarossa4U]

Nice to see some vids again perfect way for me to relax this morning.

[@borealmetalworx]

Keep on Keepin on man. Love your videos. Thanks for what you do.

[@gordonmiller4439]

Beautiful work in those snowshoes! A Wild North guarantee, right on!

[@hemansteve]

Great videos. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@ninjawasher]

Great video as always Andrew sure enjoy seeing you in action keep the videos coming.

[@russwhite4446]

great video as usual andrew thanks for sharing cant wait for the next one.

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Great stuff Andrew and thanks for sharing with us.

[@bcoutdoorsboy7057]

Great video Andrew me and my dad are checking our traps Saturday

[@barrettlenoir9528]

Awesome vid Andrew. Derrek Squirrel told me to say Hello for him. Keep them coming...... Im out on the line in YK very soon too.

[@garywhelton9304]

Just got back from a 5 day beaver line and watchedall 4 vidoes . Great stuff as usual , nice to see you back .

[@palletjack612]

I once had a Mink follow a lure back to my canoe while fishing. I pinched a minnow and dropped it to her. She took it back to shore, stashed it and came back for several more. Then I dropped my paddle for a ladder and she climbed in and ate a couple more under my seat while I fished some more. A great day. Fearless. I love seeing them.

[@TheWildNorth]

+palletjack612 yeah i like watching them as well there nice to see

[@terryschwartz6437]

Nice video, I enjoy your escapades! Keep up the great life!

[@TheUrbanHunterz]

Loving the series!

[@waynekirkslope]

Dam ravens always raid our bear baits grabbing all the old sweets we use! Another great video.

[@ennyseesippin]

Damn! Never want your vids to end, Andrew. Lol!

[@charlesmanning2523]

Your off to good start on the line bud keep piling up the fur ✌️

[@SwampDonkey530]

I revisit these older ones regularly 🤟

[@Tossdart]

What a start. Be nice to know did the spotted one bring the most. Health food stores sometimes sell good dried soup mix. Just vegetables no spice but good nutrition, light to carry & one can add some Knorrs soup mix to it. Toss grouse in pretty darn good. I used to eat a lot of raisins back at the cabin. Heck now you can get almost any dried berry or just buy the trail mix. If that skidoo breaks way out be aweful nice to have or melt some semi sweet chocolate on mix with moose meat cool & you got energy bar! By the way raid contains neuro disrupters.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Glad to see you back making videos bud..

[@TaauRine]

Love the vids man! Makes me want to go trap my Dads trap line this winter.

[@kylesoze486]

was it the MAD TRAPPER of Rat River? Albert Johnson?? huh... Huh, LOL.......... LOVE your uploads, I allways look forward to them come winter time.

[@hunt4fish]

Very nice snowshoes. used to be a fellow here who made shoes from moose hide and birch. Another great vid Andrew. Enjoy them when I relax. Cheers and stay safe! Those flips ups.................better wear your hard hat ahhahah.

[@elkshed]

Love you're videos man

[@hugh73]

Great video's Andrew! I can't get over the population of Lynx you have. I have spent the last thirty years tramping the forest's of New Brunswick, Canada (very simular looking forest to the area you're in) maybe only have seen half dozen Lynx! Usually just a flash and they're gone! Coyote's eat up all the feed I'd say. We try to knock em' down every chance we get (coyote's) but they re-populate at an alarming rate...Thanks again, cheers from the east! ps- I have a very simular pair of snowshoe's...my dad called them Pickerel's?

[@TraplinesandInlines]

9:22 I've watched this part over 10 times now and I'm still dying laughing

[@trapperstrailsandtales4657]

Awesome video again !You're catching some nice fur bud. Keep in up and be safe . Migwech

[@Logjam5]

Cam trail camera would be good for one of these sets Andrew.

[@nitris100]

Hey Andrew, I snared a Lynx today with white tipped feet. You ever get one like that? Trapped it outside of Yellowknife. I built my own snared from watching one of your videos and from the piece you did on fur harvesters.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Beautiful snowshoes!

[@alaskanhunter7622]

Andrew do you find that the ice around a beaver house is usually thinner than else where on the pond?

[@eqlzr2]

Hi Andrew. Really enjoy your videos, so thanks for all your efforts and hard work. Reminds me a little of my days as a boy fishing in Minnesota and Canada with my dad. Don't get mal de raquette (is that what it's called?) using those snowshoes. Or at least shoot a video about it if you do.

[@ionisiphorou]

Andrew you should get a PO box so we can send you all kinds of cool stuff.

[@stunplay4130]

+Iason Onisiphorou good idea I was thinking the same thing , then he can use them in his videos maybe?

[@NLGhostWolf]

nice to see you posting on a regular basis again. Do you know when Fur Harvesters will be airing on Wild TV?

[@TheWildNorth]

+NLGhostWolf some time in december i think the 19th

[@NLGhostWolf]

Right on brother, looking forward to seeing it. Now enough typing, it's time for you to post Part 5... :-)

[@not2tees]

You're not making any friends in the Raven community? Great videos, Andrew. Some of us would appreciate you showing how to read what track goes with what animal, if you want to do a video with some of that in it. I'd like a closer look at those wolverine tracks - they look like it was wearing snowshoes -

[@TheWildNorth]

+not2tees ok buddy ill show more tracks up close and talk about them a bit

[@muskrat411]

that guy from Rat River; Johnny Charlie? I think Andy may have gone to college with him. Really good guy expert trapper and woodsman, taught me a lot.

[@superscaryeti]

looks like you will have a great linx season.do the rabbits like cold or warm weather better?

[@brendarostom7077]

I really love the simple life, even thought I live in nyc this type of life is my dream

[@nitris100]

Also, when you get to the nails when taxidermy skinning a Lynx when do I cut off the joint of the toe? Because you know how the joint goes for each nail on a Lynx? I just finished taxidermy skinning that Lynx I talked about in a lower post. Thanks, fellow Inuvialuit!

[@robbuckley3159]

great job on your videos! It looks like you have several different tow behind sleds, do you have a favorite brand? How about the Koenders?

[@phattdawgtrapping3640]

one awesome pair of snow shoes right there !

[@jonathanboerema7849]

nice I am jealous but keep it up I love watching your videos I live in Michigan with the laws are screwy

[@trappingworld6463]

Andrew... are you doing your lynx up for taxidermy?

[@JustinC905]

Curious, how much do you sell lynx pelts for?

[@smallpaulissmall5582]

Was the squirrel at 5:09 eating meat?

[@Homefarmhouse]

are Saharan snow shoes any good??.

[@aonewatchman]

What about the Bravo ... if it snows you are going to need it running?

[@barrettlenoir9528]

+Peter Berian bravos are kinda a bit*h to work on, esp the fuel line. I found the older tundras were alot easier to work on.

[@beaverrick9789]

Nice cat, Love that tip up. Them are some nice snow shoes there. Let us know how they work. Looks like you are off to a good start. Get the Bravo running? Can you shed any news on the fur prices this year?

[@TheWildNorth]

+BeaverRick fur rices probally be shit this year wont know till the first sale

[@beaverrick9789]

Go for the taxidermy work.

[@TheSkinking]

Fantastic, I just watched part 3 and 4, that's like a half hour TV show, better actually.... no commercials! I wonder just how long you are going to be held to the one side of the river with this weather, if the lynx population is like that all over your area, you are going to be spending a shit load of time in the skinning shack.

[@TheWildNorth]

+TheSkinking im hopeing i can cross the rivers and creeks in 2 weeks i need 5 inches of ice to cross

[@TheSkinking]

+TheWildNorth yeah that river ice is sketchy, especially with the current you have right now.Had to laugh over your mention of flea bites, I had the shit bit out of me last week because I forgot to spray down a fisher, thankfully all above the belt.

[@ontariobushcraft536]

Just stumbled on your channel. I have sat and watched your videos all day!! Awesome channel. I'm from Toronto. Will you be going to north bay in the spring?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Ontario Bushcraft happy you enjoy the videos not sure if ill make it to north bay probally not

[@ontariobushcraft536]

+TheWildNorth Thanks for the reply man. I'm Looking forward to the winters videos. I guess I jumped into the channel at a pretty good time eh? Peace man, stay safe!

[@thanhdinh8192]

Where abouts the north you in...?i know your from Canada but what part of the north @thewildnorth

[@trapseb]

beatiful snow shoes!!!!

[@toomesdan]

Moose hunt in the future?

[@jetpowered1]

How have you been Andrew? Looks like a nice winter setting up there. Btw, those are some bitchin rockstar sunglasses you got there! Take care, and keep the great vids coming.

[@sakimbler]

Hey Bro. Great start to your season it seems. I do have a question, You always seem to write off catching wolves. Why is that? Are they not profitable or are you only allowed to catch a few or something? I'd love to see you skinning out as many of those bastards as you can!

[@rodmorris9690]

[@mayncam]

Awesome Andrew

[@Homefarmhouse]

beautifull shoes. wow!!

[@SwampDonkey530]

Hahaha i always chase them ravens off too, dirty bastards!!!

[@TheWildNorth]

+SwampDonkey530 yeah man they can make a bunch of noise eh

[@linklesstennessee2078]

good catch andrew

[@Broken-Nation]

damn snow on the ground already.

[@randomme1965]

wish we could watch him sking out his catch

[@killan001]

if you opened up a Chinese food restaurant in the north you could make a fortune!

[@BUSYBAYMENKRISRUMBOLT]

always nice to have a few critters around the camp to keep your mind occupied and have a laugh, nice fur, F$#% the brovo haul out the real gear, love my skandic swt

[@shavedbeaver9553]

Many deer up in that country

[@josephoneill7033]

QUESTION , WHY THE SURGICAL GLOVES WHILE UN -TACKING LYNX, SAY HI TO CHARLIE!

[@TheWildNorth]

they are called the love gloves

[@RatSleds]

Andrew I STill Wanna SEE that BuSH UFC MATCH between You And EBUN!! out on the line! No Holds BARRED!! ha Jokin bud lmao shit

[@nitris100]

Snares not snared*

[@Zulu_fox8]

Dude you are fucking awesome lol love your vids man they a so fucking cool xD

[@bobbyharper8710]

Better check fur price futures. I heard fur is way down due to economic conditions in China and Russia. Might be best sticking to specialty furs like lynx. Beaver supposedly isn't worth trapping.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Bobby Harper your right sell more fur local to craftsman i can sell a beaver for fifty bucks to the locals

[@hogg5798]

I Want To Do Agsactly wat u do

[@cabotbluegill]

Very nice snow shoes you ever read the book THE MAD TRAPPER OF RAT RIVER if not you should there is a you tube vid about him but you should read the book

[@TheWildNorth]

+cabotbluegill yeah i read the book yes my great grandfather was on the hunt for him as well his name is in the book

[@cabotbluegill]

I have the book and read it many times which one was he' The mad trapper was a tough SOB to say the least. You live in some rugged country you need to write a book. I love the north part of Canada

[@CruelQuertos]

cool

[@pointrosey]

YR HAVING A GREAT FIRST WEEK ON THE LINE HOPE TO SEE A LYNX IN THE TIPUP SOON IM SURE I WILL ANY MOOSE OR CARIBOU YET THIS YEAR THANKS FR THE VIDEOS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE WISH I WAS GOING THATAWAY LOL LOL\

[@markm1138]

i have a pair of hand made snow shoes. part of my camp gear

[@chet174able]

Fucking noisy ass birds hate them. They wake me up all the time making noise for no reason

[@henningkjr5359]

Let the pour animals in peace.
