Real Life Stories
Ed Asp
For Ed Asp, prospecting and trapping is a way of life. His father was a placer miner (placer is a deposit of sand and gravel containing valuable metals such as gold, tin or diamonds) and it felt right that Ed would follow in his father's footsteps, prospecting and trapping to support his family.
