The Alberta Trappers Association, in partnership with Alberta Environment and Parks, has purchased an existing trapline, which will be used to expand professional development for new and existing trappers. This unique opportunity will enable the trapping association to provide students with actual field conditions and a hands-on approach to the many aspects of this conservation-based industry. I had an opportunity to attend the grand opening. Here is my story. NOTE: The Alberta Centre is not a building, but it is operated in conjunction with our Registered Trapline. Also, The Teen Time Ranch property, works with us to offer the use of the property, lodging and rentals for some of the courses that we offer on our RFMA.

We never plan to set out and get lost in the woods, but it happens and perhaps more frequently then you think. I wanted to get some useful, necessary information about this topic and thought some of the best people to ask would be those who spend a good deal of time in the back-country, so I reached out to the Trappers Association of Alberta. Ross Hinter has spent a lifetime trapping and now teaches others he has some sage advice on what to do if getting lost becomes a reality..

There are a number of tools and methods to making a fire when you need one in a hurray. In this video I explore just one method with Trapper Ross Hinter who has spent most of his life making a living in the backcountry. Ross has also spent years as a public eduction instructor with the Trappers Association of Alberta.

We talk a lot about the importance of being prepared every time you head out into the woods. Part of that prep work should include a wilderness or remote first aid course like the one being offered by the Alberta Trappers Association. In this video I sit down with Perry Kulmatyski, from the ATA to chat about what is being offered.
