I'm at the part where the buyer is only offering $3 for a beaver hide. Not much has changed. Actually, it's worse now. $3 is probably equivalent to 5x that it is today

A dollar in 1835 had the purchasing power of $35 in today's money. So that poor ol' mountain man was being offered a scant $105 per plew! LOL
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Exactly.
My other hobby interest (which really conflicts with trapping/hunting) is fragrances.
These mountain men would be wearing 'Yatagan' by Caron edt. I presume . The fragrance resembles sagebrush on fire with a little bit of leather. Idk how Stetson got to be the "cowboys" frag. Smells like baby powder. Just proves the power of marketing.

Really tics me off. I could never justify 3k for a coat, myself. So I buy pre-owned. I really appreciate y'all keeping trapping alive. In spite of how insulting the price they pay for them
Make trapping great again!

We are living in a world where the intelligent must be quiet so that the no common sense people won't be offended.
