Guest akaspecials Report post Posted October 22, 2014 This may not be the best forum for this, but I quit my job a week or two ago and am looking for a backcountry machine to hit some epic backcountry powder and run trap lines for the next year or two until I reintegrate into society. Let me know whatcha got. I have a 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 650R I'd be willing to trade if the deal is right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Not sure if you're joking but did you quit your day job to be a full time trapper? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted October 22, 2014 No. I saved money and quit my job to be a ski bum. I hope with trapping to make just enough to make gas money and pay for lift tickets. And I am serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I'm single, 26, no children, have my house rented out, and have been planning for years to make this a reality. I'll be living in my camper and have gotten rid of all the excessive stuff in my life so I can stay light and stay on the road hunting, fishing, skiing, and snowboarding as much and as long as I can. I couldn't handle the stress of corporate america anymore and money became inconsequential to the daily misery I was living. Thanks for the good wishes guys. I'm sure I'll post up some trip reports once the snow starts falling. Still looking for a sled too guys.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I'll be far north, possibly canada. Would love Colorado or California but trapping might as well be illegal there.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted October 23, 2014 Your giving me anxiety attacks!! I've been planning my escape for about 7 years now. I hear ya with the corporate B.S. its almost done me in a few times. Have 6 more years to go till i have no commitments(other then my wife and she is down to go with me) tying me down. I just hope my health holds up till then.
