Just heard that Slim Pedersen has passed away. Rest easy friend I will always appreciate what you did for me 20 plus years ago. He was truly a wealth of knowledge.

Hate to hear it

… met him years ago…. Good man

… Jtrap had got him a birthday cake with a tombstone on it …. Ol Slim had a good laugh over it

May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace.

Thoughts and prayer to the family! R.I.P. Slim!

Sad day for me as well, met him many years ago in person at a Idaho trappers convention, selling my units when I first
got them going, he introduced himself, and I told him heck every knows who you are and he just did that laugh he had,
and he sat down with me and gave me the whole history of calling units from Ed Cortney on, and then told me I had a
great product, he was correct and I've never forgot that meeting !!

Always he would stop by at the NTA conventions when I was selling my units and he always had time to sit and talk, we
became good friends as most do when meeting him. Our small group of friends always included him and he always had
time for us!
Doubt anyone knows more about trapping than ole Slim did and his way of helping others learn was a treat in it's self !!

Will miss him a great deal, as many will I'm sure, sad to see so many keep on passing and the shape of trapping is in
now, people like him are very far and few in between !

Rest in peace my great friend, you have left a great legacy behind you !!

Never got to meet him, but have followed his posts and he will truly be missed by many!
RIP Slim. God speed!

Dang it!! I hate hearing this. Prayers for everyone affected.

My condolences to all his family and friends.

Slim was a great man to talk to. He answered his phone on many occasions for me and we would chew the fat. He didn't know me from Adam but didn't care. Trapping was in his HEART and he loved trapping talk. Wish I could have sat around a fire with.
RIP ole' trapper

Sad to hear that. He taught me to make his knot-locks when I was trying to figure them out several years ago. Spent an hour video conferencing with him, and he taught me the lock in about 15 minutes, then we spent the next 45 minutes just talking about all kinds of stuff. I definitely enjoyed it, and will always have the skill he taught me, which he invented.

Really sad day for sure. Slim was one of the best and a great guy to boot!

He will surely be missed. RIP friend.

The good Lord truly blessed us when he made him. He always had time for all my questions. His answers at times were always a teaching designed to make one think.

You will be missed by many old friend.

RIP

Hate that folks like Slim have to go….but sure glad I got to know him. He leaves a giant void where he used to fill, with his expertise! RIP my friend.

A true gentleman R. I. P.

Sorry to hear this. Slim's contributions to trapping would be hard to quantify. He shared so much knowledge with so many in so many ways.

Rest in Peace Good Sir!

Condolences to his family and close friends. The trapping community has lost another Treasure.

I sure hate to hear this. The last convention I attended that Slim was at, I spent a good deal of time at his booth talking with him, and I am very glad that I got that opportunity. I'd known Slim for years before that, but we never chatted as much as we did that weekend, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity. As was mentioned above, trapping was certainly in his heart, it is who he was. You will surely be missed Slim. Rest in peace.
