Trappers Camp

TRAPPERS CAMP with Ross Hinter

“Transforming the way you think about Wildlife in the Bush”

Bushcraft-Wall Tent

Come to the Trappers Camp and learn how to get your mind into  “Bush Mode” and discover how Snaring and Trapping for Survival could save your life!

FOOD, FUR and LEATHER – how do you obtain all of this from the bush?

Ross Hinter

There will be demos on catching small critters like rabbits and squirrels that provide protein. These may sustain you for a very short time, but for long term survival the body must have fats.  This will require you to have the knowledge and tools to trap or snare larger game that will ensure you and your family will obtain the nutrients necessary to stay alive.
