BC Winter Trapline Adventure 24/25

A trip on our remote Canadian trapline is an immersive journey into the heart of the wilderness. To the Trapline from Prince George, BC by 4x4 Pickups close to camp & the rest by snowmobile. The trip in itself is an adventure, offering stunning views. Our base is rustic wooden cabins equipped with the essentials—wood stove, kitchen, a trapper-shower and bunk beds. We will introduce you to the routines and the tasks ahead for the upcoming days. Using snowshoes, snowmobiles, you traverse the trails, checking traps and setting new ones. The trapline winds through dense boreal forest, down snowy roads and around secluded lakes. Look for signs—tracks, scat, or listen for wolves. You might spot martens, beavers, otters, lynx, coyotes, moose or wolves. If successful, you’ll learn to handle caught animals. Skinning and preparing pelts is a meticulous process and part of the trapper’s trade. Gather firewood, maintain tools, snowmobiles, and refine skills like shelter building, or ice fishing. The isolation immerses you in the rhythms of the wild. You can hear the howl of wolves at night, see the Northern Lights dancing, and witness wildlife in its natural habitat. Trudging through snow, chopping wood, and enduring sub-zero temperatures test your endurance and build resilience. Experienced trappers share stories of the land, insights into animal behaviour, and traditional methods passed down through generations. Culinary Adventures: Meals often include fish, verity of meats, or simple, hearty fare cooked over an open fire, wood or gas stove. After a long day: Share tales of the day’s adventures or listen to the history of the trapline. Read, write, or simply enjoy the crackle of the fire and the quiet of the wilderness. Challenges: Extreme cold some times, physical exertion, and the demands of living off-grid require adaptability and perseverance. Rewards: The sense of accomplishment, connection to nature, and insight into a traditional lifestyle are unparalleled.
