Trapping Season Prep and Primer Discussion 

Thank you for posting! I cant wait to see more. This my favorite type of videos.

Really glad to see you doing another trapping series. Looking forward to see what you come up with.

Thank you Dave, look forward to the rest of the trapping series.

Glad to see new trapping videos in the future. I really enjoyed your earlier trapping videos and have watched them several times learning a lot. Thanks!!

I look forward to seeing your trapping adventures this season. I've been a steady viewer of your videos for as long as you've been making them.

Sir,thanks for imparting your knowledge and experience. Your videos are works of GENIUS. My wife and I love them.

I love the fact you mentioned the trash can and frame, that is what I use, great video, Thanks for taking the time to put great video's out.

just wanted to say I have learned so much watching your channel. I have been a fan since dual survival. and now because of watching you I don't need more than five seconds on the button. thank you for the knowledge.

have a buddy I trap with up here in Alaska he never dips traps knocks a little rust off and off he goes and does really well most of the time

love that background and crickets and field sounds there--soo nice and peaceful let alone the trees and leaf colors--thanks Dave.

Really looking forward to another season of trapping Dave!!

I have that same trap basket. I attached fishing rod holders to the side of it. When trapping season is over it becomes my fishing pack for those spots well away from the road. The rod holders don't interfere with my trapping stuff in any way.

love the videos thanks Dave for the good information

real excited for this series.

thanks again for your time and knowledge

Awesome, looking forward to more videos in the trapper series.

Great video! I'm not a wilderness/self-reliance type guy but I find your videos very entertaining!

awesome video . i dipped mine a couple of weeks ago. thanks for the info dave. wish i could have made it to smkw maybe next time.

Great video, thanks for sharing the info.

great info thanks for doing what you do keep it up.

Brother could you please do some more trapping videos this season. That would be awesome! Thank you Dave! Your the best!

Thanks Dave! Great Intro

Good info Dave! Trapped for years in N Wisconsin. Learned our craft from old trappers and the bible "trapping North American fur bearers" the best volume bar non for someone who really wants to know the craft!!

Hello from Gustav! The land of your videos is beautiful.

I enjoyed this video, Dave. Thanks for posting. It brought back happy memories of my trap-line back in the 1980s in Southern Michigan when I was in high school. I bought a used Winchester 94 .30/30 with money from trapping when I was in 9th grade. I was proud of that rifle.

Good video Dave. I used to trap many years ago and was rather successful at it until it came time to cash in the furs. The prices dropped down to almost nothing for practically everything I was targeting and I lost out big time. I've thought about getting back into it but only to trap for food and have a few furs to tan to turn into something useable. Thanks for the tips and good luck this season.

Great video...

Great info!

Glad to see trapping videos. like when he does trapping great info on all kinds of subjects though.

Yes!!! One more trapping serie....

Haven't trapped scence 85'. Thanks for the refresher. ZZ.

Very good video Dave! I am trying my hand at trapping again, since I was a boy. Back then all I caught was skunks!

great video

Nice video sir.cheers !

I like the "Do it Best" plug😉 Good video

In New Mexico we have to have the 220s in a box at least 8 in in. Anything over a 7-in jaw span is not allowed on land

had a 60 lb beaver move my 330 conibear about 10 yards off the bank into the water and it was a clean catch too

it's about time ha love these videos

Really looking forward to this series, we can't trap,like this in the UK but I am very interested in the subject & keen to learn the skills so I have a good understanding of them if I ever needed them.

i always love the trapping stuff. i trapped only two seasons, 4 and 5 years ago, only 8 traps, but it was great, caught muskrat, possum, coon, and 1 beaver. then i had a kid, and another kid, and just got a puppy, so no go this season, but maybe next season i can do some. would be great to own enough land to trap on, maybe by next season as well.

I love ur vids man ur probly my favorit youtuber . uve inspired me to become a better Smith . and I love all ur other videos keep it up man

I always like to put a fluorescent cord on my trap safety because I've came back to check my trap and forgotten to take it off

Yesss. So glad trapping videos are back. Some of my favorite! Cb75

I'd like to see the critters you trap for meat and how you cook them in a later video!

is it a problem to touch the traps bare handed interms of leaving a scent?

what happened to the nice loring trap basket u had

How do set Victor double catch trap I bought one

I don't use the steel trap setters for my conibar traps anymore. I use the rope method. I haven't found setters that don't twist on me. I do beaver trap and as I stated the rope method works fine. rope takes up less space in my kit.

MB traps are the best in my opinion.Do you wax your traps?

nice

Dave - do you tan the pelts yourself and do you have any videos on the process you use?

Nice video..... wish you made a video about tanning skins from big and small games... I'm from Denmark and we make it likely in a other way

love this shit, catch my drift if you can lol

+ wildernessoutfitters Do you tan your own furs? If so, could you do a vid series on that? If not, who do you use? Unless it's a local taxidermist.... thanks, Brother

i thought the 110s were your favorite trap,

Hey Brother ready to trap . how bout you ? Thanks for sharing the know how .

Trapping = Smart way to harvest game anyone can afford. Hunting = When all the rich executives come out here to the west and pay $15k to have a chance to shoot an elk I see everytime I go into the hills. Now I love hunting. Don't get me wrong. Elk, might be my very favorite game meat. I would rather draw a cow elk in bow season than Oryx rifle hunt. But more and more, hunting is turning into a rich man's sport, guys with $10k rifles who fly here on charter jets and take all our tags. Without local guides they wouldn't be able to find their ass with both hands. I hope I don't sound like an old crumudgen, but the rich man's money is taking regular guys like me and my kids out of the hunting community.

come up here brother there is a bounty on bever

If im starving, im not checking any laws, regardless which state im in.

Mt dew!

The only trap I have ever seriously used was a live trap. Not a great option for a trapper. Far too large.
