I myself like those tube traps, you do need a brick or something on either side to keep from rolling. If one rolls it over they can escape, but are not afraid to go back in from what I have found. I also have caught skunks that I was surprised could get in because of size as well as a few racoons. I feel the round hole is more inviting than square, I have no idea as to why. I use marshmallows a fair amount apples sometimes, they really are not to picky.

169 user, I'm replacing with the rotomolded bank blinds They should last a couple generations.

I got the local guy to spray foam the inside. Heat it with a proverbial candle. We hunt deer in temps that would shut states down and I like to sit all day for days on end.

Thinking out of the box in my opinion makes a better trapper.

No, the feet move very freely (too freely perhaps for some situations), but I prefer comfort to extra maneuverability. It's just a double polypropylene strap loop and a thick polypropylene rope, I've tried many types of bindings but this works the best for my purposes and it's simple and very reliable. Leather stretches and deteriorates from wetness and freeze/thaw cycles, some other materials lose flexibility in very cold weather or when wet. I don't even tie the red rope usually, only when I have to climb steep slopes (the fur makes it possible to walk directly uphill on30+ degree slopes). I prefer to be able to kick off the skis anytime, it's safer in terms of anklee injuries when you fall, or when you cross a creek and snow collapses underneath you. I also use them as a warm bench to sit on (fur side up) or as a makeshift shovel, whenever I need to dig.

As for the size, people have different preferences. Some prefer lighter skis, especially if they get litlte snow and mostly just use their own trails.

The bigger skis in the picture are 167 cm x 20 cm. I'm 157 cm tall and weigh 67 kilos, + I carry anywhere between 5 and 20 kg on me (clothes, backpack + bait, traps, etc.). They may be a bit heavier than necessary but I'm beefy, so it's not a big deal, and I often go through lots of fresh puffy snow and like to be able to slide rather than step even in bad snow conditions. They're enough for a much bigger man to ski comfortably, i.e. 90-110 kg, depending on the snow. Taller people often prefer longer skis. Many people prefer narrower, longer skis for open country vs shorter, wider skis for rough terrain/thick brush where you have to turn a lot. For early season, some people, especially in Eastern Siberia, use smaller skis.
