Hi everybody! hope y’all’s winter is going well. I’ve had a few injuries that kept me off the Trapline but I’m back out there. This is the first of 4 videos I’ve filmed so far this season. God Bless

Glad to hear you're all healed up.

Those RGB's sure do make an inviting looking hole for those cubbies
Looking forward to riding along with your video adventures again this year.
God bless and take care.

Welcome back! What happened? I heard nothing about you having any problems......jk

I enjoy your videos, thanks for making them.

Awesome, Awesome video!!! Thank You EG for letting us ride along. I hope all is well with you and doing well. I have been wondering if you were going to stop back here of late and here you are. Thank You.

Another great video! Three questions about your snow machine.What model Skandic is that,,and is it the 24" track?Also,does it have a pull cord back up or just electric start?

Nice video EG,Looks like you have some good conditions in the bush this year.

Thanks. I found out I’ll need hip surgery some time into the future, but we’ll roll with the punches:

Yeah I like the trap. I scooped up a lynx on my Saturday trap check out of that trap. I have 3 Trapline check videos filmed so far. Take care

Yeah I got airlifted out of Venetie a few days before Christmas and found out later that my chronic back pain hid damage in both hips to the point that I need a double hip replacement. At 35 years old I’m not sure yet how long the process will take to set it up. Lord willing I can find a surgeon that can help without the complete replacement. I never mentioned it on here or really on YouTube either. Maybe I’ll make a post some time here. Thanks for asking my friend. God bless

Thanks for watching Tommyran, have a good one

Yeah I was down for awhile but I’ve had traps out for about 3 weeks, just not as many sets as I would normally. But we’ve caught a wolverine, 3 lynx, and 2 marten so far

It’s a 2020 Skandic Wide Track 600 ACE.
This wide track has a 20” width
It is an electric start only. It is a downside but keep the battery in good contrition and it’s not a problem.

Oh yeah this depth of snow is perfect for trapping. We warmed up from -65 Fahrenheit on Saturday to -15 this morning, I really can’t complain. Thanks for watching

Nice share, EG. I hope you find success and relief asap with your pain issue. At least you can now have a plan and goals for this .

The only other guys that young I have known are the rodeo bull riders here ... sports injury treatments have come a long way. You will find a good doc that can help.

One of the only trappers I watch/follow. You and Andrew (the Wild North). Great stuff from both of you.

I really like your positivity grounded by faith...even when things aren't going so well. That's not always such an easy thing to do.

Thanks. Some time I’ll do a video explaining a bit more but not until I get a second opinion. I appreciate it. God bless

Yes Andrew is a another fine channel. I subbed to a number of people. Next gen trapper is excellent as well.

It along with other video's on here says it won't open "must disable "restricted mode". Any help out there on this?

Good stuff! Does your sled keep the battery topped up while you’re driving?

Wild north and Muskrat 411 were prolly the first two channels I subbed to when I first got into YouTube years ago. I just subbed to Next Gen Trapper. Wow a hundred raccoon in one day is awesome!

Yeah it does really well keeping the battery good and charged. This is the 5th winter with this snow machine and the second battery. I just broke 7000 miles on the last trap check on Saturday.

When I left out on the line it was -50 in a few hours it dropped to -65. My ride did just fine out there. The seat was a bit stiff lol

Do you keep it inside at home? I've heard several people say they don't start cold in temps like that. I have a 2023 900 ACE and it sits on my trailer behind my truck out in the driveway at night. It got down to -28 here a couple weeks ago (that is really cold for this country) and after a thirty mile ride down the highway in the morning I didn't think it was going to start, fired right up, but just barely turned over.

Nice! I just hit 6000 (800 miles are mine) on my 2012 Tundra 550 LT. I like the Skandic except the weight. When I bought mine I was looking for a Skandic or Tundra, 2 or 4 stroke. All the adds I responded to, the guy said it’s sold, I gotta remove the add. Hard to find.

Check out this guys channel. He’s right up there with you, northern trapper & 330 maniac but he’s a bit of a wingnut……lol

No it’s outside all but a couple times trough the winter to change oil and melt the ice buildup. I have an engine block heater that can warm it up enough for a safe start up down to -55. Any colder than that I have to put a space heater to it for a while. As long as the machine doesn’t set off alarms when started your just fine. Even if it does let it run for 10 seconds shut it off then start it up again and usually the engine will have warmed enough that and check engine warnings will have cleared.hope you have a successful season out ther.

Cool my brother had a 550 tundra lt for years. Worked great for hi, that long track could really reach down into the snow. Some don’t like how narrow the stance of the skis are but it’s awesome for old narrow trails.

Thanks! I just subbed his channel. Haha just hilarious

Great video, I can barely handle a sled in daylight. I can't imagine what i'd do at night.

I just found your videos the other day and have been binge watching them. Great videos and beautiful country. It’s funny people have mentioned The Wild North and Next Gen Trapper too cause I’ve been watching them a bunch recently too. Like someone else said, thanks for making the videos.

Great video and trap technique hang in there at 35 for hip replacements that is early but being younger you will heal faster hang in there I have had to knee replacements wore the first one out also 1 hip replaced but still up and going horsebacking gets to me but part of the ranch life. Best wishes to you

That was a great video.

I had one hip replaced at 50, the other at 54. Piece of cake.
