The coureur des bois, or "runner of the woods," typically slept in temporary shelters such as wigwams or cabins made from natural materials like bark, branches, and animal hides. They often relied on the local indigenous peoples' knowledge for constructing these shelters, which provided protection from the elements during their fur trading expeditions in the North American wilderness. When possible, they would also sleep around campfires to stay warm and ward off predators.
The coureur des bois went to live in the high country to avoid the restrictions and regulations imposed by colonial authorities. They sought independence and freedom to pursue fur trading without interference. The high country also provided better hunting grounds and resources for their trade.

Jean Nicolet was a French Coureur des bois.
A voyageur was a licensed fur trader employed by a company, primarily the Hudson's Bay Company, who transported goods and furs by canoe in the Canadian wilderness. In contrast, a coureur des bois was an independent fur trader who operated outside of the formal trading companies, often engaging with Indigenous peoples and exploring uncharted territories. While both played significant roles in the fur trade, the voyageur was more structured and regulated, while the coureur des bois embodied a more adventurous and informal approach.

Runners of the woods is the literal translation of 'coureurs des bois', but they were simply called that because they went largely on foot deep into the Canadian wilderness to trade in beaver pelts.
