I live in Fairbanks and drive 3 hours to my trapline. My line starts on my property out there. When I retire I will be able to start trapping from the front porch of my cabin without the time and expense of that drive.

Hey now, don't be knocking canoes! They got my first two moose to the truck, mostly without sinking.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

I think you are leaving out the part about how "not before Erica called out the Murphy Dome Militia as reinforcements to figure out why you weren't at the landing on time!" That's the part I remember!

What's the knock on canoes? Are they a sign of a naive newby?

Yeah, that big boy took much longer cut and put in the boat than I planned! Then, having half a brain, I wasn’t going to go down that river in the dark!

Thanks again for the help! I was whupped.

Andrew is my best customer.. I rent trapping canoes to newbies.


Give an illegal alien a fish and he eats for a day. Deport him and you never have to feed him ever again!
