    Leg hold traps are horrible things - particularly when you leave them out for weeks and don't bother to check them.

    My Alaskan Husky was missing for 5 days in the coldest days a few years back. Other than smelling like a pine tree, she was fine. They sure do know how to take care of themselves.

    I feel like that hat was in it's glory when you were riding the trap trail and the ears were flying out behind you. Thanks for showing us around. That looks like a great place to stay, and seems like they really take care of their guests.

    In Europe these traps are forbidden. Hunting over here is a honour code kinda thing.
    Your fit enough to shoot to kill, no slow death traps.
    There's high penalties on breaking this code, you might even get your hunting license taken from you.

    I'm just getting into your videos and loving them, but the concept of trapping is unpleasant and unnecessary to say the least. It's 2020's America and we're sophisticated enough to have snow machines and Go Pros, yet we still need to put animals through a horrible protracted death so that we can wear their fur? It doesn't need to be this way.

    Love your videos man. You honestly inspired me to get out of the Bay Area and move up to Tahoe. Went from workin in an electrical union feeling like a robot, to workin at the Sierra Tahoe ski lift. Absolutely love the lifestyle so far, doesn’t pay much, but I’m young and it’s great experience. Hopefully I get to the point where I can get a truck and a trailer and get out there a bit more! Anyways, keep on keepin on man! Love the content.

      Do it man! There's a group of Tahoe boys that migrate up to Alaska every March & April (road trip) to shred the mountains, look up the Tailgate Alaska Festival when you get a chance;)
