Our good friend and youth mentor at the youth camp Sam Sampson has lost his fur shed and entire contents to fire . Sam is a very quiet and reserved person who jumps to help anyone trapping especially our youth . Much like the fire I endured insurance will not cover the contents . Any trapping related items or cash are greatly appreciated . Trappers Relief will be sending a check but our funds are limited at this time .Please contact me for details, Von

Sam is a great guy and Von describes him perfectly. One of the hardest working and successful trappers I know and as nice a guy as you'd ever want to meet. Good time for trappers to pitch in and help a fellow trapper.

PM me your address too. I'm not sure how much or what I can give since I just lost my job last week, but I'm sure I can find something.

Stopped up to see Sam this evening to see if he needed anything, helped sort some things out for a short time with him. He seemed to be in good spirits, But Sam is like that always thinking positive and on the bright sides of things. Sam got me back into 8 years ago, full of knowledge and always willing to lend a hand. The fire was a total loss and like Von said insurance doesn't cover any thing. He was so surprised that the relief fund was doing something for him, he is very appreciative and thankful.

Sam was Colton's mentor at the Rushford trapping camp a couple years ago...Colton speaks very highly of Sam and wants to send part of his fur check to your attention to pass on to Sam.
Thanks for coordinating this effort!!
PS. after I heard about Sam's fire, I inspected my wood burning stove in the trapping shed...I noticed that the flue pipe at the roof disconnected as a result of some very strong winds we had...I typically stoke the stove up overnight and run a fan when I have furs drying...we are very fortunate that there were no fugitive sparks that found their way back into the shed!!!
