Trapping hot Southern swamps would be harder for me then trapping frozen tundra. I would not enjoy trapping beaver in the heat like Paul does.

OK enough with the modesty let's get this going. Canadian northern trappers have a little more grit then American trappers including Alaskans. grin

You would be plenty hot shoveling 4 or 5 feet of snow to get to 2 to 3 feet of ice in your parka. Then there is the ice. Plenty of heat generated trapping beaver on the frozen tundra. frown

Totally depends on what part of Canada and Alaska you are talking about. Western Canada is more like the interior of Alaska. I know a lot of Alaskan trappers. Gotten to know some quite well, and they are the best in the business. The environment we deal with is the same. Until you have spent months at a time alone, on a trapline so remote help of any kind is hours away by air ( when the weather is flyable) in temperatures that can drop down to -50 overnight, you cant claim to have grit! wink
