Of course there a little bit of trapping!

We made some fresh sets and I used a wolf carcass for bait, but they only film for three days, so I wont spoil the outcome laugh

Indeed thats just for local Fox's, a warm up for my girls to make into hats or share with others who sew.

Come Febuary and more day light well be at it, Im sure they will film a little bit..... Who knows how it will be presented to TV viewers, but so far so good.

''Reality'' is a good example of Orweillian 'Newspeak' the perversion of a common understanding into something opposite its true meaning....Whoever coined the term probly uses the third bathroom.....
The first ''Reality show'' I saw was on MTV, back when there was some M still in it...it was 11 lesbians on a coach type bus, trying to get a date with a gay guy shooting hoops at the beach....one at a time, desperately hitting on the guy that never will, they talked lesbian smack behind each others back, in turn.......LOL!!

Well, they were all in bikinis...

Chip-I have always truly enjoyed watching you, Agnes, and the girls sharing your life. When we realize you guys are on the show, everything else in our house stops. There is just something about your personalities and way of living that is truly enjoyable.

I also want to thank Agnes and the girls for being the best salespersons I have ever had for ulu. I do quite a few gunshows with my ulu on display, and I always get 5 or 6 folks that relate the fact they have watched Agnes and the girls using ulu ..."on that show about Alaska".

My wife does have one question...Your daughter "Puddin", is that her real name. My wife loves it!

Thank you for all the hours of sharing your lives, and like others, I am very happy you are here on Trapperman.

I've never used an ulu before but I bet it would make one heck of a beaver skinner.....

Hey Chip; I kinda remember Agnus telling us of a story about her grandmother? Maybe winning some native Inuit race where they had to carry an anvil or something really heavy like that? Does that come to mind? I know it was a long time ago.

Moose, the youngest is Qutan Irene, pronounced ''Koo ten' but her older sister said ''Puddin'', the wife and older kids call her ''Princess'' I call her ''Q'' laugh We use them as we say them, seems everyone has a nikname or three.
My wifes oldest sisters name is Qutan Irene and since they both share a birthday and Irene, as we call her, was there to help her sister Agnes,the girl got her name .

My wifes mother would be the lady your referring to Handitrapper, she was a stout young woman about 5'5'' and 130lbs, carried the 200 lb anvil further than any man since 1950 or so, when she was in her 30's. The Anvil is still kept by the family, a trophy. She carried it about 3 miles away from the village during the seasonal winter games. Wrestling, dog racing, trap setting, target shooting, Eskimo games with feat's of strength and endurance.
My wifes mother was her fathers second wife, after his first wife passed away,and was quite a bit younger than him. Nothin' like a strong wife laugh All my kids are athletes. Comes with playing outside alot ....:D

I couldn’t remember all the details. But was an impressive story just the same. I’ll have to see if I can dig up some photos from that trip, when I get back home on Tuesday, and post them. Have some of your salmon racks next to the river. And maybe some of the sled dogs too? I also remember a brown bear hide hanging on a pole/rack outside.

Chip great to see you post here. I’m a big fan of Agnes. You and your family should have your own show. Love seeing the history of the people and the area. Thanks

Hey Chip just wanted to say me and my 3 kids love watching the show, others than cartoons that's about the only other thing they watch. My boys (5,7yr old) are already hunting and trapping with me and my 3yr old daughter loves to hang out with me in the basement when I'm skinning my animals so we can kinda relate to the family thing. Thanks for a good show, they are few anymore

Chip, I seen one of the rats Agnes was skinning had some nice glands on it. Do you all save the glands and if so how much did you get out of those 196 rats?


We take about a jarfull of glands, but we use them for Otter sets with the dead Muskrat dryed heads tossed in a bankside hole, and, sometimes, any ugly skin we didnt want to tan, for bait.

Hey Chip...good to see you up tonight. Would it be too nosy to ask what the seal vest Agnes made sells for...if not...no big deal. We found the way she fleshed, scraped,cured and sewed quite fascinating. Take care...

Agnes usually gets a good penny on such items, maybe 300-500$, but beyond gifts and the grand kids, she hasnt been making things to sell recently, but were about to start seriously trapping for more fur.
They made hats/mukluks for the little ones, out of what Ive caught since Nov, but basicly, were about ''out''when it comes to fur or clothing type skins.
Since I was incarcerated, she didnt get much in the way of fur last year, so Ive gotta get my act together and get moved in 2-3 weeks, to the Northern Seward Peninsula, where the Caribou are.

This is gonna happen,even if I have to walk there ......... and people used to.

All I know, is that I could be more successful with a slingshot, than Sue can be with an accurate rifle. That woman cannot shoot for squat.
