During these very low fur prices (Other than coyotes) it would be a great way to provide some trap line supplemental cash flow. Some Grey Areas like use of cabins for other than family and amount of trapper assistance without a partner license would probably apply.
Perhaps we could get an exemption like APOS got to sell hunts to Albertans.

Twenty or thirty years ago there were some FN trappers that would take a person on their traplines for a month. I don't think there were any satellite cabins involved either. They used teepees and moved camp as they went. It was promoted as a traditional trapping lifestyle on the land. Might be the trapper, his wife and one or two kids. Plus a few dogs. Travel while on the land was with working dogs and not skidoos too. If I remember right it cost about $1600.00 or more for the month and the person was be expected to pull their weight in active daily life duties and trapline work. Not 100% sure but I think I remember it being advertised in either northern Saskatchewan, the NWT or Manitoba. It wasn't from the states.

Anyone else remember this from back in the day?

I think it would be a great way to 'apprentice' a newbie who wants to trap on a registered long line. Maybe not so much for the adventure of it. Then it becomes tourism related. Better as a working 'paid for' education trip.

Not sure how it works on a registered line. Was given a warning from a F&W officer that anyone that accompanied me on me residence line was hands off and only a spectator unless they had a trappers licence and a signed permission form to trap on said property.
