Hey Pete

I didn’t think wall tents were even made when you were trapping!


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Yeah, mostly we just curled up under some deadfall! Tents were a luxury. Now I hear they have "cabins.....!"

Cabins? Now days you have to pay the king a hansom ransom and have his paperwork (permission slip) in hand, Just so you don't freeze to death. The good side is, everyone else gets to use your cabin free of the king's tariff, without abiding to the conditions to the permit!! mad

Yes. Mammoth skins.

I didn't trap them myself. Got 'em from an old guy.... named Potter!

If using snares go with 17/32 1x19. It is simply too hard to get 7x7 to hold a proper loop big enough.
