Oh my god thats wild! I have so much respect for the trapping community of Vermont. I was lucky enough to talk to a local trapper while shadowing a warden who showed us all his gear and skins. It was absolutely fascinating!

You forgot “I Promise to buy a leash at some point but there will be some other priorities.”

I have a habit of honking my horn if people don’t notice the light turned green, but hey, I’m just letting them know.

I hunt and trap. Favorite is trapping for coyotes because they're smart as hell and have great noses. Always a game of wits with them, and the suspense that builds every time you approach your traps never subsides. Close second is trapping beaver because it's the opposite in terms of difficulty but it's still just as fun. Plus beaver meat is delightful. I tan my skins and make hats and mittens and ideally more items in time.
Cool stories.... Well, depends what you think is cool. I think it's pretty cool trying to get an intelligent animal with a territory of hundreds to thousands of acres to step on a spot on the ground the size of a soda can lid. This year I had a multi day pissing match with a coyote who stepped and pissed all around a trap but because I mishandled the trap and got my scent on it he could smell it and avoid it. That to me is cool...and frustrating. I also think hunting them is cool, going out mid winter in the middle of the night and using mouth calls to mimic prey or other coyotes brings a different element to hunting than traditional deer or bear hunting.

Might I suggest the Woodstock area? Low traffic town, no leash laws for dogs, so much money to stay home. Stowe is very similar. Recommend heavy chains for the car, really only need them on the rear wheels.

Good idea but for the love of God don't go with Bluetti.

You can live in my quinoa commune until you get your Birkenstocks on, literally and figuratively.
