thats pretty cool. Got me thinking, I haven't seen that mountain man series for a while. Did they cancel it, or maybe they all got caught in the dead of winter.

There's something addictive about Andrew's vids. I've seen them all, and always watching for new uploads. Unfortunately I don't think he's able to access a decent internet connection in that county. I believe his last 12 minute vids were taking over 6 hours to upload to youtube.

yep, found out about him on this very forum. Awesome trapper, learn a bunch from him all the time. Guy (Andrew) has a passion and respect for what he
harvests/traps that clearly shines through in his videos.

Been watching his vids for a while now; if you have a deaf ear to the swearing he is very entertaining! Should have his own reality TV show!!

He is also a member of this forum but I dont think a very active one.

Been watching him for a while also. Have gained a lot of knowledge from his videos, also very entertaining as TRAPPER92 says.

I got the impressiom that he is showing and telling like it is and is not interested in editing out any of the real reality of life on HIS trapline. A lot of extra effort and expense on his part to video his daily routines and upload for our enjoyment. He is a very intelligent, capable and ambitious guy IMHO.

Well said!! I love watching him as both my Grandfather and Uncle were trappers and I never got to know what it really was like. I'm grateful this fella does what he does and I'm able to to take it in.....

Ouch, my freaking ears... So swearing makes someone not intelligent? He seems like a pretty smart guy to me...

Been watching for a couple years... Great video and makes me want to get out there and give it a shot myself. Even just learning about fur handling trough the vids has been cool.

Perhaps proof reading your own comments would raise our opinion of your intelligence

I rally like his videos, after a couple days in the bush every third word out of my mouth is a "swear" although I'm not in the habit of taking the lords name in vain. That's the way a lot of folks talk and yes it does take away from their credibility, if you don't like it ....move on.

He was subject of discussion on this forum a while ago. His vids are outstanding imho. If I recall correctly, I believe he may have joined this forum and has posted some responses to the initial thread...I'm going to check and see if I am out to lunch...
