The life style of a Coureur de bois wasn't perfect. They traveled for approximately 70 to 100 km per day trading beaver pelts with the natives. They got eaten alive by black flies and mosquitoes and slept under their own canoes. In the winter the dug snow caves and lined them with branches for a shelter from the freezing temperatures. The natives taught them how to live off the land, fish, hunt, make canoes and other survival things.
