I own and operate a remote trapline in Canada's Yukon territory. My concession is approximately 850 square kilometers or around 209,950 acres. I trap marten, beaver, otter, lynx, wolf and wolverine. Only a small portion of my concession is currently accessable so I will be spending the next few years developing it. Cutting trail, building and renovating canbins ect. I recently installed a satellite internet system at my cabin, and thought it might be a good idea to post a journal of sorts. I would be posting photos of sets that I'm using, fur that's being caught, and day to day projects. Let me know if this is a good place to do that. Tomorrow morning I'm headed out to cut trail for 3 or 4 days so I'll be away from the cabin. When I get back I'll post some pics of how it went!

-34 here today and I'm sure enjoying being back at the cabin. Got 4 more kilometers of trail cut. Have to fight for every inch now as I'm cutting through an old burn. The wall tent sure made things comfortable on the trail. I normally use an open camp with just a baker style lean to and a fire front. Being able to keep that tent warm makes for a comfortable camp no matter how cold it gets. I like it. I picked up another wolf yesterday, bringing my total to 6 this season. I'm impressed with those Sleepy Creeks...not as good as the Koro no 9, but they are a better trap than the mb750. Also caught a beaver, a mink, and a nice marten. Now that I have a beaver for bait I plan to put out a bunch of lynx sets after Christmas.
