Ready, set, go!

We have set a new record by getting camp in order, checking the trapping area and building four snares in just four days. I just finished cleaning the gers and mixing new drugs, tomorrow Tom and the others will arrive. Three months of office work at home with too much food and too little workout has left me with a rather increased waist measure and a much too decreased biceps measure. Am a little worried that I have already started with my ‘Cat trapper breakfast’ – two mugs of hot water with two tablespoons of Nescafé in each and a couple of painkillers on the side. I usually don’t start with that until later, could be a long field session…

I found pugmarks at seven snare sites yesterday, can’t tell how old they are since I just arrived and don’t know what the weather has been like but they must be fairly new. Man, I gotta say that the four snares look good, I put in a lot of effort in them. Will be a little sad if anything steps in them and messes them up. Well if it is a snow leopard I suppose it is OK.

Cheers,
Orjan
