What I find a little backwards and I'm totally guilty of it too is fir the most part us trappers won't where our own product. Mittens and a hat are a start but we need coats to move a lot of fur.

What if we wore fur instead of building a small house and hauling a propane heater out when we hunt or fish?

I trap much less now but tan everything I catch and either sell them or give them away to people that still appreciate the beauty of wild fur.


The last time we lost most of the Europeon and North American market and moved into the Chinese and Russian market which did not exist prior to 1990. It appears Russia is dead do to endless geopolitics and China has not been buying for any real money since the tax evasion scandal put some players in the hoosegow. 10 years having a mostly down market and continuing; seems we can put a fork in it. Even if stuff moved up to 2010 prices, with 10 years of inflation and increased wages we would still be going backwards.
