I've been taking them in individual strips for the grinder. I will take them like this now.

Not my videos but these are pretty well done. And show the loading step which I have not found in the archives.
I personally load my snares after building.





Good view of teeth filed in a camlok

Was looking around Youtube last night and stumbled upon this video.
It was an enjoyable watch. Some pretty realistic video situations. Very light on the trapping but great cinematography and just some fun watching. A lot better than the reality shows on tv right now.
A good movie to watch. Be sure to watch on Youtube in full screen. Some great scenes to be in awe of.

This guys videos are pretty cool.



I had been clean skinning beaver and wasn't completely satisfied with my results, so after watching his videos I did this;



Happier with this, I just wasn't catching onto the clean skinning.

Been meaning to watch "The Last Trapper" a couple posts up, about 20 minutes in now it's pretty cool!

Be safe out there!

Awesome Temple. Here is a few ideas.

1. Try putting your beam at a more vertical angle. Seems more comfortable for me.
2. Have you tried the shovel and hooks like in my 3 part clean skinning video for the clean skinning part. I think your really onto something there with the two part system. Most errors on a beaver will be made using a two handled flesher on the easy to flesh areas on a beaver. The shovel is really fast and clean. The perfect combination for what your trying to do.
3. Make an apron out of a garbage bag. and tie it around your waist to keep it from sticking. Won't have to deal with the towel.
Fun to develop techniques that work for you. Thanks for sharing. Your now a star.

I'd forgotten about your shovel Len! I'll give it a shot in the spring. Hooks will be on the skinning table next time as well. Be safe out there!

Ill go check the ice tomorrow I have one trap to check any ways. Hopefully set a couple swinging suzies. Here is the video from last year just to get you ready. I wish I could find a trail cam that would work under water. That would make a super video. I see fish cams in Canadian Tire that run off a truck battery one of those might work but editing would be a ton of work.
When you starting beaver trapping?

I'd like to see how the Swamp guy fleshes those thick parts by the front leg and between the ear and front leg. I cut a lot of that ear cartilage off so it dries faster also.

A video that shows the simple change in setup that makes the difference between a 5 to 1 and a 9 to 1 pulley setup.
Good one to watch.


Using just carabiners and small diameter blue steel rope which slides throughout the carabiners easily it makes for a great system to pull things out.

Cool old codger. May have to try to make a pair of snowshoes, he shows a little of how he does it in a couple other videos.
