I've been working on an updated version of the Alaska Trappers Association video "Sharing Alaska's Trails." It is designed to help pet owners, skiers, hikers, ski-jourers and mushers to know when they might be inadvertently be running their dogs on a trapline. It discusses types of sets and other clues. Also goes into some detail on how to open various types of traps and snares, as well as how to subdue a dog and apply a bit of doggy first aid in case a dog accidentally becomes caught in a trap or snare.

The videographer asked for any "old photos of you when you trapped using a dog team." Here is what I came up with. A blast from the past. Good times! (And I was pretty skinny back then too!)

That's quite a picture Pete one worthy of a frame or publishing in a book if not both .

I'm certain Ken could add something to the mix as well .

Every once in a while my wife or I say to each other how fun it might be to have a small dog team. Then we think for about 30 seconds and how much work it would be.

It is a lot of work and hassle if you need to leave for a while and find a dog sitter. But, it is sure a nice way to travel and very dependable....as long as you don't lose them. It's also nice to have the company if you are going to siwash on the trail.

And expensive to feed when you can't put up dogfish.
