This is a video taken 14 years ago, as I chased my wife, holding a little "Lumix" camera in my left hand. Helmet-mounted action cams weren't much of a thing yet, so I made due. I think it still did okay, but I had to be ready to drop the camera if the need suddenly arose to use the clutch. I've always held that, for Albertans to become skilled riders, they have to get their bikes off the straight, level roads of the prairies and spend as much time as possible riding in B.C. I was following behind on my '07 Street Bob. Not everyone can put up without a windshield, but I liked it. Also better for not obstructing the camera's view!

This may be interesting to some, as they may have never seen a Fisher before. Also included is the recording of a Timber Wolf. Both were drawn to a bait pile near our trapping cabin recently.

A few years back (2009), my wife hit a crow on the highway at 125 kph. It was quite a mess! I reprocessed this old video to boost its quality, applied camera-stabilization, made a voice-isolation pass to cut out the highway noise and then did my best to blur out the gory bits.

12 years ago my wife's mother was honoured (post posthumously) by having a new Health Center on the reserve named after her in recognition of her life of service to the community. Earlier she also received a Silver Jubilee medal from Queen Elizabeth. So quite a pedigree I married into! Shown here is her surviving husband, cutting the ribbon. A trapper all his life, they are guessing he was 99 years old when he passed on. Back in the days of his youth there weren't accurate records of birth dates among the Dene Tha; just rough guesses made later on, once they were older (so he might even have been 100 or more). His trapline is still in the family, handed down to his eldest son now. Would you like to support this channel's on-going work?

With more than 22,000 acres to cover, it'll be a while before we've been everywhere on our trapline. Especially with the cutlines being so overgrown. Fortunately, we have a machine made for the task. Gotta watch the accumulation of branches near the exhaust though, as we found. Have to avoid carrying our jerry can of gas near there. Would you like to support this channel's on-going work?

This is the first in a series of videos from the "Wolf Workshop" course offered by the Alberta Trappers' Association. Not just trappers, this material should be of interest to anyone trapping and for wildlife enthusiasts in general as well, as it delves into less-known aspects of wolf behaviour few people (aside from trappers) are aware of.

If you like bonfires... really BIG bonfires, you just might really like this video as well. This video covers our recent trip to our trapline, being paid to burn brush piles left by logging operations, using our Bombardier Bombi to get around (love the sound of its engine, just like a Harley!)

This is a video my grandson returned with, from his solo trip to our trapline. He went up to burn brush piles while I was home, getting over the flu. And, of course, he couldn't resist the chance to have some fun with the Skidoo while he was at it. In this video, Tristan demonstrates the speed of our 2004 Skidoo Summit with 74" tracks. He also gives a quick review of the CZ 600 Alpha rifle he recently obtained (his first rifle). Would you like to support this channel's on-going work?

Remember the joy of getting your first, big game hunting rifle? Follow us along as I get my eldest grandson started with his; a brand new CZ 600 Alpha chambered for .308. The CZ 600 Alpha appears to be a very accurate rifle with a great trigger. Short in length (20" barrel), it's well-suited to my grandson (who already has some experience hunting). It's compact size, coupled with high accuracy makes it ideal for packing around on our trapline and .308 will handle anything he comes across. Along with his first shots, he will be testing his first reloads - IMR 3031 powder behind 180 grain Hornady bullets - as well as sighting in on a 40 yard target. It all has to start somewhere!

While flying a drone to make a video of testing my rifle, a bear began destroying our camp - just yards away from where my wife and I were. This required some quick thinking (which ended in shooting the bear). After everything was done, I checked the drone's video footage and found it had been recording the entire incident, so I am sharing this rather unusual footage. This occurred on our trapline in northern Alberta. The rifle used was a single-shot Ruger No. 1, custom-chambered for the buffalo-hunting-era .45-120 cartridge, using 540 grain, cast bullets. The drone in play was a "DJI Mini 3 Pro." Would you like to support this channel's on-going work?

A little while ago, I bought a little truck for my wife - a 2001 GMC Yukon that was in very nice condition. She really likes the truck, but it lacks one thing she really desires: A remote starter to warm it up before driving in winter. So, hearing that, our 22 yr. old grandson did some research and determined a remote starter kit that should work for her vehicle. I then went to the place where it was sold and the proprietor told me he could not, in good conscience, sell that kit to me. He then proceeded to give me a bunch of reasons - saying I would need to purchase an expensive diagnostic module and obtain a vehicle code to bypass the security system and that the install was so tricky, only a trained technician would be able to accomplish it... a task that would cost an extra $300 or $400 to do! Well, grandson heard that and called b.s., saying he could figure out a way to install it. So I went and ordered the unit from Amazon. We figured that, if it arrived in time, it would make a real nice Christmas present. Once I received the kit in the mail he came over, late last night (day before Christmas Eve) and began work on it. I think he started at about midnight. And he did get it done... by 6:00 o'clock Christmas Eve morning! Pretty determined young man he is... Not only did he get it installed, but before he left, he handed me the video camera I use for my YouTube work, saying he had made a video of the secrets to how the install was done; figuring it might be something beneficial for the channel. I looked at the video he made this morning and, dog gone, it's good! So I edited it and added subtitles. This is it. Would you like to support this channel's on-going work?

This video questions why the market has settled for fragile, all-terrain vehicles in spite of equipment - like the now-discontinued "Bombi" made by Bombardier back in the 70's and 80's - being far superior.

Many spend time in the off-season hunting for antler sheds, but there are also numerous, long-abandoned trapper's cabins located all over; many of them forgotten. One thing I've discovered is that First Nations and other communities are very interested in finding structures and other artifacts like these so they can be recorded and marked for protection and historical reference. So, if you're looking for reasons to get out in the bush during the hunting off-season, this is something you could consider doing instead of (or in addition to) hunting for antler sheds. The discoveries you make and share will be appreciated by local communities. Drones, while not exactly cheap, are within the price range of many individuals now and their operation is not that difficult, thanks to their advanced sensing technology. I hope that, after viewing this video, some of you will be incentivized to explore using them. Another benefit is you will learn new things about your favourite hunting spots - things like where game trails, hidden clearings and water bodies are located. In this video, my grandson and I search for an abandoned trapper's cabin that, according to stories shared by elderly residents of the area, is located somewhere on our trapline. The drone used is a "DJI Mini 3" (a "Mini 4" has recently become available too). It's built-in camera works on a gimble, so you can point it straight down into the trees from above as you fly and it captures footage in 4K resolution, so you can see plenty of detail from high above the trees. Myself, I'm not into shed hunting per se, but I do want to locate and document as many historical features on our trapline as possible; both for the reasons already stated and as a means of protecting certain areas from future logging operations. Indeed, if, as a trapper, one finds something of historical significance, excavations and inspection of the site will result in the trapper being paid to be present while such work is performed, so there could be a financial benefit as well. It's always good to know your hunting area or trapline better anyway. Travel by foot or ATV is still important, but you can cover very large areas rapidly using a drone traveling at 10 m/sec! This video helps show how it's done - including how to navigate your drone back to you, even though you are miles away, surrounded by dense bush.
