I've been into this for nearly 50 years... You guy's presented this in such a way it's fun for old timers and children alike. I was surprised by the time you took to set up and present the furs as well as everything else demonstrated, but most people would not have given enough thought to the fur presentation as ya'll did. Great work!
I could watch this all day long!!!! There is just something about the mountain man that I love. Maybe it's the freedom or just being out in nature 24/7. Whatever it is I would love to see more of this!!!! Thank you.
I grew up in Cache Valley and still live there today. I've been fascinated with the fur trade Era since I was a kid. We have a rich history here. If yiu guys still go out let me know, we'll meet up and share stories by the fire.
Well done. This little series just made me subscribe. I enjoy the mountain man/primitive lifestyle and have been doing it for several years. Great video!
Wow it’s awesome how you guy’s are really living history. I’ve always admired the mountain men of the old West and the survival skills. Really appreciate this video 👍🏻
Good video. One thing to note, the point blankets, they were a way to tell the size of the blanket, not the quality. 8 points is about a king size, 6 points is a queen, 4 points a double etc etc.
Greetings from the Harz mountains in Lower Saxony /Germany . Buckskinning is still a good way to escape from modern civilisation for a while. Back to the roots.
Well that's some shining times fellas! You guys remind me of the mountain men I hung around at Ft. Bridger, Cache Valley and the like when I was a kid. They'd tell stories "Yarns" and I just wanted to be like them. Keep it up!
Hey ,the points have nothing to do with the quality, the more points, the bigger the blanket! Points are short black lines woven into the selvage of the blanket along the edge just above the bottom set of stripes. About four inches in length (except in the case of half points, which are two inches), they indicate the finished overall size (area) of a blanket and allow easy determination of the size of a blanket - even when folded. French weavers invented the point system in the mid-1700s since then, as now, blankets were shrunk as part of the manufacturing process. The word point derives from the French empointer, meaning "to make threaded stitches on cloth".
Just wanted to say thank you for the videos they’re pretty good, i definitely enjoyed them, i love the mountain man life style, thats why i love watching your videos explaining everything, made it very easy to understand, one question tho, is it possible to buy those products you guys use, like the winter coats?
It would honestly depend on the circumstances. How long you planned on being gone, where you were going, what you were doing, how far you would be from a fort, etc. But as for us, we wouldn't leave the fort without at least a couple months worth.
@@reallearningrealadventure9708 I guess the main factor would be how good a shot you are. I heard this story of a group of hunters that were dropped of on an island to go deer hunting. The wheather turned bad and the boat took extra time to come back and get them. They ran out of food 🤔🙄
Oh ya know what would be so much fun?, to camp out with these guys and as they lay on their buffalo skins, i set up a tarp that i have in my pack, and just create a simple lean to tarp shelter with a plastic tarp front and a couple logs burning in front of it and switch shelters with them and watch them strip down to their underwear as they enjoy the warmth, thank god for technology and a simple tarp
My understanding is they would plan the next year's rendezvous at the current/present rendezvous. So they knew a year in advance where it would be and when. I also think rendezvous would last for several weeks and it wasn't just mountain men there but lots of natives too

His name is pronounced Jim "BOO-EE". Bowie was a British singer.
Very funny mate, mr bean is also from england don't he?
I knew a mountain man named cody
Mountains are calling me
Should carry a Kephart knife and glass beads for tradin with the Natives. Don't forget the fatback and hardtack!
I don't think Bowie knives existed back then
Have a question explorers that were on foot how many shots worth of ammo supplies would they carry with them normally.

How did folk’s find out about when and where the rendezvous was going to occur?
Did they have a Facebook group?
😂
They would find out by word of mouth, and they would send people out to spead the word. Also, they would have lots of advanced planning.
@@reallearningrealadventure9708 Thanks!

@@TheDesertSpear Makes sense.
good job guys,but you come off fake as well
All they do is sit at the fukin fire all the time. Not really "go getters" but knowledgeable nonetheless.
