Trapper's grueling snow trek to Y junction with rich British Columbia game
The article recounts a trapper's two day snowshoe trek along the Vermillion and Simpson rivers to the Y junction, then north to the Kootenay region. He skins game, camps alone, and returns for supplies, hoping to live off a thousand dollars from his three pans.
