To be a coureur de bois, one needs to possess a range of skills including wilderness survival, navigation, hunting, trapping, and trading. Additionally, fluency in multiple languages such as French, Indigenous languages, and possibly English would be beneficial for communication with various groups encountered during expeditions. Adaptability, physical endurance, and a deep understanding of the natural environment are also crucial for success as a coureur de bois.

Jean Nicolet was a French Coureur des bois.
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.
The first nations changed the coureur de bois life because they helped the coureur de bois work together.
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.
A "coureur des bois", literally "woods runner", was a colonist hunting and trapping animals for their fur, or living by trading by the natives. They did not live in a house, but out in the woods.
