Alaska Trapper Podcast

[Fleshing Beam]  Join the Alaska Trapper Podcast Team at the first annual Women's Trapping Summit in Fairbanks, AK.  A very special line-up of some pretty hard-core trappers collaborate to inspire the next generation of leaders.

PART 2 (Leo Faro): Continue down the path of a friendship where Kurt passed on a trapline to Leo 20 years ago... After all, it was the least he could do for a friend who introduced him to trapping in the first place. Leo describes running over 100 miles of trapline for 20 years in interior Alaska and we'll learn about cooking chicken on your muffler to boot! 

PART 1: Meet the waterfowler responsible for taking your host trapping for the first time. Leo Faro is a lifelong Alaskan who has held the distinguished title "Fox Choker" as an actual job title. Leo describes dragging Kurt along and shares his experiences trapping in Prince William Sound and Attu Island.  

Kurt discusses 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke trapline modes of transportation, a trip to an old trapline, and upcoming ATA events to include the fur auction and cabin-building workshop.

Welcome to the Alaska Trapper Podcast and Happy New Year!  Meet your host, Kurt Lockwood, who is a lifetime member of the Alaska Trappers Association.  Kurt introduces the intent of the podcast as we talk about smelly trapping friends, tips & trapping tactics, an "unprecedented weather event," and find out what's on the ATA's calendar of events for 2022.
