Trapped on the Trapline

Trapped on the Trapline

More than 25 years ago, a routine day on a northern Wisconsin trapline took an unexpected turn for Steve Olson. While handling a conibear trap deep in the woods, a split-second mistake left him trapped and stuck alone with no cell phone and no immediate help. What followed required problem-solving, determination, and a calm approach under pressure.


In this episode we share Steve's experience and focus on the safety lessons every trapper should know, including the importance of letting someone know your plans, communication, using proper safety equipment, understanding emergency techniques, and the value of taking a trapper education class before heading into the field. A reminder that preparation, knowledge, and respect for the equipment matter on the trapline.
