Foreword By Kyle Thomson

Into a potential campsite I walked. Looking around I took notice of squirrel signs nearby. These feeding spots I would come back to later this evening and place the 17 Paiute deadfalls that I kept wrapped in leather at the bottom of my buckskin satchel...

I was tying the top strap down onto my willow pack frame to hold my blanket pack in place.  The morning was cool, but the storm clouds rolling in told me there would be precipitation later on. It was day 2 in the rockies and I had come 5 miles from my last camp.

All I had eaten were 2 handfuls of service berries and some roasted burdock root. I made a good snack, but the root took a lot of energy to dig out of the ground. Today I needed to go another 3 miles to get to a better location with more resources.

I left my campsite behind with no indications of my presence there and trekked out further into the wild.

When I arrived at the new location I did a little scouting and found signs of squirrels. This made me excited for the potential of a protein packed meal. I quickly set up camp, made a fire, and ran down to the stream for water and a quick bath. There is something amazing about washing in a clear cold creek high in the mountains.

After washing up and getting water boiling I opened my leather satchel and pulled out my traps wrapped in leather. It made me smile, because I had made these on the day I arrived out
