Awesome stuff. I take elementary and high school students out to my trapline. I’m a teacher in BC and document the adventures on my channel. It’s a great experience to learn about trapping.
I'm all for native rights, but Conibears, 300 hp outboard motors on commercial fishing boats, gillnets, spearing with 1,000,000 candlewatt power spotlights and ATV'S seems like a departure from deadfalls, birch bark canoes with tallow soaked torches dimly lighting the way. I've got just enough native in me to have those rights but it just doesn't seem right. Sure I have thought after my buddy and his kids snipe Whitetails at night where I hunt that I should enact my "rights" but it's just not me. I live in the U.P. of Michigan and I do so because of a good job and how it offers me an escape from the world when I'm not working. When I leave that good job I'm a part of nature. I live in a hand-built log cabin, all off grid. I have a outhouse and a composting toilet that my daughter uses. I get my potable water from a hand dipped well 200 yards away and my normal water from the lake I live on. Yes, I have solar power and a generator, using solar right now watching old Northern Exposure DVD's, chilling. As humans we need to step back and relearn our roots of who we are and how we survive. Something is stinking up the place and it's us.
Amazing video. Randy is a certified badass & a true nature's man.

Glad you enjoyed it!
That was awesome .. good job guys.
Thank you!
excellent vid. use a tripod to stabilize. the shakiness makes it difficult to watch
Thanks for the tip
What make of trap is that? Just curious!
As far as I remember, it’s a homemade spring loaded trap. I can’t be certain of what the Cree themselves call it.
Dead Falls and Snares?

Don't the ravens eat your bait?
That’s not traditional Cree trapping ! “Traditional” is pre-whiteman ! Pre-steel traps !!😂
You’ll have to take that up with the Cree inhabitants of moosonee :)
Traditional Cree trapping? I had no idea they had steel traps and ski doos back then.. guess I have just learned something new
