One can always learn something regardless how experienced you are. I may try to watch that demo.

Will likely do the demo on how I make and use foothold trays as a bedding platform.

The fella who made the video on that system gave me the video some years back. He sets up two spots down from me at the NY convention. Every year he asks if I tried it, and every year I tell him no I haven't. At least watching you do it will give me an over the shoulder class on how it's done.

I use Mr. Lafforthun's idea in a less complicated and different manner, but it does make beaver foothold use more effective and faster.

Swamp, any chance of videoing your demo and posting? I would really like to see your method. Eric

Someone might video the demos.....I'll see if someone does.

If they do...would have to upload to YouTube to post.

The guy who did the ADC business demo did a very good job also. Lots of info on starting a business and the expenses involved. Just one of the many facets of trapping besides making sets.

There was an older gentleman filming all of them. I don't know where, if anywhere, he would be posting them. Maybe their Facebook page?

It must be true that you have to go through Atlanta even when you die.
