Trapping of Fur-bearing animals are all the same. Once you figure out how it is done and get the basic down its all pretty easy, but remember trapping is only half of the job the other half is preparing the fur for market and hoping to get the most out of your fur pelts. I've been trapping for almost 40 years now. I think I have a little knowledge by now and then someone comes along and I learn some new.
You should give it a try and all of you other hunters and fisher men and women. Who knows, you might really like it.

I especially like listening to Guenedy talk philosophy. His thoughts on hunting/trapping versus raising meat I found interesting as well as his views on his dogs.
The landscape and the toughness of the individuals was inspiring.

The skills of making do without much of anything was pretty impressive. Watching him build a deadfall showed his skill at getting by from what the land produced.
Struck me as going back in time about a 150 years. His methods undoubtedly worked on sable and that is what he had to trap. I think it would be a tough go trapping other species with those methods.
Sad to say but with the worldwide price of fur I think it is a historical film. The men and the knowledge they possessed to live that life is probably dying if not dead.
Great film though,

One thing the Russians have over us though, is they don't have Mumblin , Bumblin, Jay the boy who cried Emergency Inslee at the wheel.
