You're forgetting one thing about these traplines when calculating your expenses RS. The line will never net 160k in a year or even 5 but it will over time. If the guy can net 10K a year while doing something he enjoys then sell the line in 20 years for 200-300K I would say that's not a bad deal.
I personally would not pay 160K for that Trapline but there are other lines I would. There are several lines in Wilmore that I would pay those kinds of prices, without batting an eye.
I have no idea what Brian paid for his line in Wilmore and I have no doubt it will remain in his family for a very very long time, but if he ever did decide to sell it the profit over the original purchase price would prob look like a pretty decent investment on paper.
Like it or not we live in a world where dollars and cents are what makes the world go around. If somebody wants it they will pay whatever it costs to have it.
