He had some great photos and really brings alive the harshness and remoteness of this type of wilderness trapping. Trapping is hard work under the best of conditions, wilderness trappers have to trap in conditions where, simply put, any number of mistakes or carelessness can kill you. I have a tremendous amount of respect for trappers running lines in these types of conditions. Mike is a gifted writer and I am looking forward to Part 2 of the article.
