I've been mentor, big brother, grandfather figure for a 10 year old boy (Gavin). Last month I posted a picture of Gavin with his huge coon. After a few messages back and forth 160user said he had a few traps for Gavin. When I got to his house to pick up the traps I was met by a great guy. He didn't have a few traps for Gavin, he had 80 traps. Yes I said that right. 80TRAPS. He made Gavins Christmas. 160user wanted nothing for the traps, boxes, stretchers, big tote of gloves. His mother shed a few tears. She said it fills her heart with joy what 160user and the whole trapping community. She said that every trapper she has ever met has been willing to share their time. I have had the joy of mentoring him and seeing how he has learned and his willingness to ask questions and actually listen to what people are telling him.

160user, thank you sir for making a boys dream come true. He says he now has enough traps to start his own trapline

I certainly wasn't expecting this but it was just some stuff that wasn't being used anyway. Those NW 155's should still have Frank Brula's trap tag on them and it would make Frankie smile seeing them in the hands of a kid.

Some would say that Matilda is making him downsize to create wardrobe space grin- I would say it's a gracious act of kindness- great to see!

Good job, Rob! That was an awesome act of kindness. It is also very awesome of you to be a mentor to the young lad.

160 is the man, that was a mighty fine thing to do. The boy will remember that for the rest of his life.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
