Nothing like visiting the city to remind you of how nice it is to live in the wilderness. The pace is just so different. None of the city rat race to raise your blood pressure. It's back to basics. Nice wolverine btw. Could hear him growling in the trap. Ferocious creature for sure.
Thanks for the update! A little tip on cleaning rabbits. Take (2) 8 or 10p nails and drive them into something solid(post, tree or smokeshack lol). Put them straight across from one another about as high as your head and a little further apart than the distance of one of the rabbits hind legs to the other. leave the nail heads stick out about an inch or so. The purpose is to hang the rabbit on the nails by the back legs with the belly facing you. Just push the nails between the leg bone and the tendon just in front of the heels. This can easily be done without making a slit there. Now you can have both hands free to skin and dress the rabbit. This will help keep most of the hair off your meat. The nails will be there for years. Many years ago I read that folks up there would stretch and dry the skins of snowshoe rabbits. Starting at the tail end they cut the hide into one continuous strip about 1 inch wide. They saved these strips until they had a bunch and then weaved them into a blanket. The blanket was light weight and extremely warm. Might make a great emergency blanket. The hides might also be used for flagging those lynx i suppose. Good luck to you Andrew.
again another great video and lots of info and tips...man your lucky to have a friend that's interested in seeing your line and how it works....hopefully we'll see her back on the line soon with yourself and Charlie....keep the awesome videos coming and good luck on the line my friend
It's nice to get away from things once in a while. It really makes you appreciate what you have to come back to eh? Good video Andrew. Have a good one!
Hey Andrew you should go in the city more often, your brother and dad had some great success on the trap line. What's with the backup alarm on your snow machine, is that to keep you from backing into a squirrel ha ha ha. Next it will be a backup camera ha ha ha, that's to much technology for the bush. Just kidding Andrew really enjoy you sharing your experiences in the bush with us. Carry on my friend.
Hey Andrew awesome videos I really enjoy watching them, I think I've seen everyone now. I live in Saskatchewan and i also run a small trapline. I wish I could trap more but I also work full time. I've been to Hay River a few times cause my wife is from Fort Simpson and she has a lot of family up there. That back eddy seasoning salt you use good stuff. We cant buy it here but the wifes cousin sends it to us in the mail. Maybe someday I will have the pleasure of meeting you up there, but keep up the great life and awsome videos.
+Ken Gold yes for sure let.me.know.if ur ever in the area I go to simpson a couple times each summer.beautiful.place I know.lots of.people from.simpson I probally know ur wife or.some.of her family the nwt is a small.place
The camera work is especially good in this one. You go to a lot of trouble filming and it is appreciated. Will should run the traps more often! You can stay at the camp and skin. A triangular file can get you out of a conibear with one hand also. But the trap will be scrapped. I'm surprised the compression spring isn't totaled on the soft catch trap. I thought a wolverine would over extend them. Thanks for posting. And "yes" you ARE lucky.
I'm enjoying your videos especially the trapping videos. I have never trapped myself not sure if I will but it's good to see how it's done and the processes of it all.
great video thanks for taking the time to put it on here for us . And the rope way to set connibears is a real arm and hand saver don't ask me how I know this lmao!
Don't get stuck in the city even for love you will regret it I know because I've been there nothing replaces The freedom you have where you were at there is a middle ground try to work for that and nothing replaces your dog not even a woman spend more time with my dog then I do you people and I've never been happier keep up the good videos brother they are very much appreciated thank you
Nice video man, yeah the city is a nice place to visit but sure would want to live there!!!! You'll have to get that lady friend of yours to come to the Wild North, the city is no place for a Trapping Man like you!!! Great experience for brother Will, but he was a nervous fellow putting down that Wolverine!!! Looking forward to the next video, take care and keep safe, Kevin.
Great videos as always man,never miss one. When we trapped we never did have a setter or used a rope,always by hand. Don't know why. And sometimes they were bastards to set on soft ground or when our hands were cold. Very f ing stupid of us,I must say.
Andrew, I am a long time viewer of you channel and even though i'm proud of your nwtf show and I like to watch it I still think your old videos are best. I know you don't over edit your own videos. I almost never comment but you and I have a whole whole lot in common, you have no idea and I think we are a lot alike. It would be great to just sit and swap stories sometime. I'm not a northern man but rather a mountain man and I was put here to live exactly the same kind of lifestyle you to enjoy and would have it no other way. Anyways man be safe and keep 'em comin'!
Glad to see what you been up too , Hopefully next season she can stay with you while your running the line , the things beavers control when your a trapper 😂 but that way you won't be getting pulled in two directions 😎
Andrew i just watched petreas first video of your time off. Man i gotta say you clean up real nice man. she seems like a keeper. glad to see all is going good with you guys. waiting for video number 2
I completely agree with your perspective on the way of life you’ve chosen to live Andrew. If my health were better I’d be trapping along side of you brother!
so you came to calgary... would of been great if you came and visit in Airdrie;i would of been your shuttle service around calgary & you could of came and had some of my New Years Bull Moose!(jan,2,2017)it was perfect moose weather -30. I just finished the Rack;its now drying out in the garage,no meat on it what so ever👍.
Fucking sweet got that first wolverine of the season. it's funny you got almost the whole family involved with this now, and they use to be camera shy. I like that your dad does more talking in them now. you should have him do more stuff like when you were at beaver camp. he cracks me up the love flu. keep up the good work now you can get busy that you finally got some snow. wackum and stackum
Andrew, if you get some old gopros, try to set some up on a wolverine sets and run them on time-lapse. I guess it would depend too on how cold it is out there. But still would make for some great footage.
I am glad to hear that you appreciate your lifestyle because I was thinking the same as I watch your videos. I thought you have a very good lifestyle and was wondering if you realize how good it is. You must find it kind of strange to go from the backwoods to city. They are very different and with modern travel you can be in one environment or the other within hours. Making it a sudden change and a big change.
Great video as always. I liked the fur harvester episodes to have someone else film you to get different shot angles and such, but when you film yourself it always feels less scripted and more real. Really appreciate the time you put in to film, edit, and post these man. Cheers
TheWildNorth oh ok, yeah I watched again and just saw it wrong. I'm really enjoying the new videos, keep up the good work and be safe! Also don't have too much fun in Calgary! lol
I can well believe that a wolverine in a trap just a few meters away would be "scary" - bears are scared of those things! Cities are impressive, for sure, but there are a lot of trade-offs, with you contributing your freedom time after time as part of the ongoing deal. And, some have said cities are kind of like big nets that catch whole schools of fish, only it's humans that get caught there. Famous poet named Jeffers said that.
Outstanding videos, thanks so much for doing this. I trap in Toronto, mostly raccoons but the customers don't want them hurt!!! (so perhaps I can catch them again in another attic or yard).
I've been watching your videos for a long time now. your channel was actually the first one I subscribed to and I can't remember you ever catching a fisher. is there no fisher that far north cause there everywhere here in Minnesota
Andrew, I am under the impression, that 2 wolverines have been trapped so far. You said your brother dispatched the first wolverine o the year. Know you got one a few videos back in a 330 Conibear..Maybe one of these was trapped before the first of the year, so I could be mistaken. Either way, the wolverine in today's video is a dandy one. Snowshoes too are good eating. Used to pass them off to my brother years ago as a cottontail..never knew the difference..
+Ernold Braun the one in the 330 was on fur harvesters nwt ep 3 right? is that the one u are referring to well if it was fur harvesters was a show made for tv and recorded in 2013 I am.just uploading it now
TheWildNorth ......your brother seems to bring some good luck with him. Top video mate. does the wolverine leave a stink around the trap ? will that entice or scare off other wolverine/ critters
Great vid nice to see the wolverine and the family, your brother has good taste in guns I have the same one in 300wsm! Have to save that poor girl from the city lol! Keep the vids coming especially this year it's been a depressing trapping season here for me cause of work and weather, going north for bison again in couple weeks that's fun! Any bison close to you? Take care
Hi Andrew, I be watching you since 2011 and I'm very happy I didn't stop to watching yours videos. I'm from Saskatoon and I'm trapper also, but I wish I can trap in Forest like you doing. Here is different regulation to trap in the Forest. Do you know some trapper from my area to help me out to trap in the forest? Thanks Willy
Great show look forward to watching your videos i am from England and when i was younger i traped foxes and other fursbut now we have no fur trade its a great life. Good hunting
+James Marten I send.most my fur to fur harvesters auction I do like to barter with pelts though what u looking for and what u got to trade I don't accept cash for pelts but I love bartering
you only need one hand to use a conabear. if you do it wrong you may have only one hand.. only the smart and strong survive in the wild north......... love and peace
Hello Andrew, it's been a long time since I seen one of your videos!! Life brought some changes. My name is Diana Engelhardt (water, is the name I used back then. Still do.) Maybe that rings a bell. Your looking good. Hope your health is still good. Your side kick doggy is the same one? Well I'll get my self caught up and watch your videos from the last four years..
Eh Andrew. I hear you got the Herbies 😉😀. Wait maybe before your time? Walt Disney's The Love Bug. His name was Herbie. Ahaaaa. I tell you nothing like introducing your own kids to the bush. My kids all grown & I'm handicapped now from cervical osteoarthritis just when had hoped to team up with them hunting. Hope to see little Andrena running around 😀😃😄. By the way shouldn't that shot be forward of eyes dad said lungs?

Another awesome video Andrew! Great to see your Dad and Brother out there! They are some awesome men. Have a great day buddy!

It's an amazingly cool life you lead. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe my friend.
Yup! That's the episode from 2013..Thanks Andrew. You have a very enjoyable channel..

Great catches and enjoyed hearing your brother and father discussing the whole deal.
Way to go with the Stanley family!
Thanks for another great video, poor saps like me are stuck in the city you've got the life for sure.
Hey Andrew you should go in the city more often, your brother and dad had some great success on the trap line.

Great vid Andrew thanks. City life is fun to see once in a while but I could never live there.
Keep up the great work. Enjoy every episode ! 😎👍👍

You are definitely very lucky living the life-style you have, Wild and Free.... Perfect
NLGhostWolf I agree.....wild n free!!!!
Don't get stuck in the city even for love you will regret it I know because I've been there nothing replaces The freedom you have where you were at there is a middle ground try to work for that and nothing replaces your dog not even a woman spend more time with my dog then I do you people and I've never been happier keep up the good videos brother they are very much appreciated thank you

it is nice to have family who will help you out!
Holy shit. That wolverine looks like the size of the lynx!
Great video as always. I liked the fur harvester episodes to have someone else film you to get different shot angles and such, but when you film yourself it always feels less scripted and more real.
Really appreciate the time you put in to film, edit, and post these man. Cheers
Have I missed him telling about the canvas wall tent set up back there towards the river?
+Scott Holderfield that is not towards the river that's the back of the cabin I set it up as a guest house
TheWildNorth oh ok, yeah I watched again and just saw it wrong. I'm really enjoying the new videos, keep up the good work and be safe! Also don't have too much fun in Calgary! lol
Andrew i noticed u have some good winter gear, i wanna recommend the striker ice bibs and jacket for the cold days outhere

You are very blessed Andrew !
what kind of boots you use?
Outstanding videos, thanks so much for doing this. I trap in Toronto, mostly raccoons but the customers don't want them hurt!!! (so perhaps I can catch them again in another attic or yard).
thanks again keep em coming
Oh those guys got a lot of great footage. They make you look like you're slackin.
keep it up. where did trapping tales Pt 3 2017 go. had it marked to watch and now its private
Start snowing this year yet?
Lmao got the " love bug " ay Andrew
he must have ay !!!! u notice he aint hardly said fuck.... !!
Really like the videos of the life up north! Keep up the good work! Why don't you have insulation in the walls behind the stove?
+scott cottrill it is still under.construction go back to my beaver camp series
I have watched them all , just didn't notice until this video. Keep up the good lines.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now. your channel was actually the first one I subscribed to and I can't remember you ever catching a fisher. is there no fisher that far north cause there everywhere here in Minnesota
Your brother and dad don't mess around. They give us the kill shots!!! lol Denny
This could become epic. I can't wait for the video where you go away for a weekend and your dad and brother have bigfoot in a trap.
What you uploading any vid
Andrew, I am under the impression, that 2 wolverines have been trapped so far. You said your brother dispatched the first wolverine o the year.

You have a great family bro...good stuff..indeed you are a lucky man
Are wolverine related to cos they 1 mad animal a
These videos are great.
Ya I was confused too, because I thought you traded a wolverine for a Bravo. That was a few years back i guess?
rickyboyz100 yes that was several years back. He's just started post the episodes of the tv show featuring him and his lifestyle.
My buddy and I want to start trapping next year and have no experience and gear. We will be mostly in south east Michigan. Any advice?
Greats video thanks for sharing your video help me a lot and be safe on the line

Karatechopping?
Great vid nice to see the wolverine and the family, your brother has good taste in guns I have the same one in 300wsm! Have to save that poor girl from the city lol!

i have been wondering where Ebun (think that is his name) has been. havnt heard of him in years. love your vids!
+dub870 e bun moved to yellowknife to work he don't live in hay river no more
Andrew you need a mini welding unit to help you around the camp? Or maybe you already have one, or don't want one.
Great show look forward to watching your videos i am from England and when i was younger i traped foxes and other fursbut now we have no fur trade its a great life. Good hunting
Andrew your the man and a savage dude!
Back Eddy’s is awesome! We even put it in French fries
hey Andrew. how do i get ahold of the fur you produce? be good decor in my house .
+James Marten I send.most my fur to fur harvesters auction I do like to barter with pelts though what u looking for and what u got to trade I don't accept cash for pelts but I love bartering
you only need one hand to use a conabear. if you do it wrong you may have only one hand.. only the smart and strong survive in the wild north......... love and peace
Looks like you have a skandic. Do you like it? Is it the wide track? How about those two pull behinds... who makes those?
Hello Andrew, it's been a long time since I seen one of your videos!! Life brought some changes. My name is Diana Engelhardt (water, is the name I used back then. Still do.) Maybe that rings a bell. Your looking good. Hope your health is still good. Your side kick doggy is the same one? Well I'll get my self caught up and watch your videos from the last four years..
Amazing man just amazing
Nice vid Andrew, maybe your brother should go more often esp when you're off mating somewhere ahahah
Andrew, great videos! Keep them coming, buddy. What was the name of that seasoning salt that you put on the rabbit again?
Back Eddy's....found it :)
Eh Andrew. I hear you got the Herbies 😉😀. Wait maybe before your time? Walt Disney's The Love Bug. His name was Herbie. Ahaaaa. I tell you nothing like introducing your own kids to the bush. My kids all grown & I'm handicapped now from cervical osteoarthritis just when had hoped to team up with them hunting. Hope to see little Andrena running around 😀😃😄. By the way shouldn't that shot be forward of eyes dad said lungs?
love the videos man keep them comeing
I've seen people put gopros on their pets to see what they did all day.
SubArcticWolf Tools & Outdoors see what charlie does while andrew is gone,lol... good old charlie boy
