#EustaceConway #MountainMen - Розваги
I Worked with Eustace for a year in Norfolk Va. back in 1977-78 Stocking groceries at night in a local Giant open air market. He was living with his Grandmother helping her out until she passed away. After she passed Eustice moved to North Carolina with his saved money to buy land of his own which was his dream.
Was that the Giant near Wards Corner and the skating rink? I grew up near there and went to Norview High School...class of 82!!
I really love the Series, Mountain Men and especially because of Eustace. I was heartsick when his long time friend passed away. I so wish that Eustace and the show would return!
I just now found out he passed. Do you know what happened by chance
Preston died of cancer that was discovered too late, He only lived a very short time after diagnosis.
@@onlyaggie2672 I really hate to hear that. Thanks for letting me know
that would not be the same without his friend , so no good
I've been a huge fan of Eustace from the beginning of Mountain Men. Eustace and Preston (RIP) are the real-life McGuyvers of the wilderness. American values and tradition.
I knew Eustace as a child. We lived in the same neighborhood, just around the corner from each other. Went to the same schools. I remember him as different, a bit iconoclastic, but always a nice guy.
He was heavily interested in Indigenous American culture and skills...and sustainable living, even then. Most of the other kids, I think, considered him a bit weird - but probably because they didn't understand him. He always did his own thing - and I admired him for it, even then.
Man, I'm 60 years old, and still work outside nearly every day... My father taught me that a man should try to learn everything he can, every opportunity that came his way. If someone takes the time to teach you something, have enough respect for them to learn it! I would love to spend the est of my days on Turtle Island, learning from him.. (I'm a retired welder btw).
I miss Eustace. He and his buddy were a great team. I also love Tom. What a great guy! But , I wish there was more of Eustace and his wonderful teachings!! 😢
Please we need back, the last Alaskan and the mountain man, I really miss that's shows.
The last Alaskan was amazing!
Read a book about Eustace probably 20 years ago, think it was called "Last American Man" maybe, dunno, got it somewhere, fantastic story, couldn't put it down and read it in a day. Amazing man and his love and connection to the horse was incredible, road coast to coast on a horse and in the book he loses his #1 horse I believe clearing land at his now Turtle Island, it was gut wretching to hear his despair, great book, a highly recommended read.
Please bring back Eustace and the Mountain Men!!
This show is not the same without Eustace. In fact him & Tom were the only reason I watch it. I genuinely respect & envy his way of life. It would be hard, but also extremely rewarding. Bless u all brothers & sisters. And if u see this Eustace, PLEASE come back to the show.
They were the two that I loved watching as well.
Eustace lives around 20 miles east of me. Most people don't know that he has a college degree, has hiked the AT,parts of Australia and Europe. He doesn't ride horses to Boone, he drives a new red Ford F250 and Turtle Island is most definitely not the most dangerous mountain in the Blue Ridge. That distinction goes to Grandfather Mountain. Not only is Grandfather the highest peak in the Blue Ridge Chain, it's also the most dangerous. The view from the highest peak is worth the danger though. I'm not physically able to make the hike anymore, but I'll never forget the majestic view from the top. While Eustace is a good guy, don't believe anything you see on "reality" TV shows. The only genuine reality show that was non scripted, one man with 3-5 cameras and no crew was Survivorman. Les Stroud started it all and the networks just stole his ideas and started making fully scripted and crewed garbage. Bear Grylls is the worst of the bunch. If you want to learn the fastest way to die in a survival situation, watch Bear. In reality he couldn't survive in a empty Walmart parking lot. Everything he does is scripted and staged, just like all of the rest of the so called "reality" shows. Face it, there's nothing real on TV or social media. That's why I don't watch TV and only use social media to watch anime and play games. I also follow a few UA-cam channels that do gun and ammo reviews and the power of nature videos.
Totally correct!! Bear Grylls who squeezes water from elephant dung after a rainstorm. He's a very dangerous liar and the channel that sponsors him is worst of all to allow this crap.
Grandfather Mountain is NOT the highest in the Blue Ridge. Google will lead you to the truth!
Everyone I know up there calls him “Useless”
@@CaptSpence yes, made for TV.
ALONE is the real deal. No crew, and trying to survive while working 3-4 cameras all at once.
I don't know if this is the same Eustace but back in the summer of 1972, i worked at a camp in the North Carolina mounrains and we had a 10yo by the same name and looks remarkably like the person on Mountain Men (years later). He was a great kid and enthusiastic about everything we did including hiking, backpacking, wood crafts. If this is the same person, I'm not at all surprised. I am so pleased that he took to a lifestyle level.
Was that Camp Sequoyah? Went there in ‘69, counselors aid in ‘74, his grandfather started the nation most legendary camp in the country. Met him a few years ago at a Sequoyah reunion, great man legendary skills. Read “The Last American Man” you’ll thank me later written by Elizabeth Gilbert.
I really missed Preston at the end😞😞😞😞
The world needs more Eustace
I live about 10 miles from Turtle Island and don’t let the reality series fool you that he’s always broke, he is intelligent and well off. I’d rather had watch Preston work. He was a school teacher and sad when he passed.
We need to see more about Eustace!!
Whatever happened to Turtle Man? I loved him too!
Ustace was a wonderful.. I miss mountain. Especially Eustace. Love ya man . And he is a great teacher
Eustace is the man!
And he even identifies as one , Old School !
We need Mountain men back for sure. I've learned so much.
Years ago I met him at the Schiele Museum during one of their pioneer weekends. We struck up a conversation about old farming ways. Quite a knowledgeable fellow.
So what state is Boone in?
@@chairlesnicol672 NC
You do not know what you are talking about..Eustace graduated from Appalachia State University Boon N.C.He holds a degree in English and Anthropology..check your facts...
I love Tom and Eustace that is why I watch it,but they are putting different people on.
I enjoyed this program couldn’t watch him though! Always fast fwd through his parts.
Dave -d-grunt Why couldn't u watch him, was he that bad?
@@chairlesnicol672 for me, yes.
@@dave-d-grunt I kinna felt this way about Tom! Lol It felt as if Tom was talking to a group of Grade 2 or 3 students instead of adults n really slowly was a bit much!
He was the only one we watched, fast foward thru the rest, couldn't stand those. lol
@@marybercegeay8069 I get it lol.
He's a national treasure, his grandfather started Camp Sequoyah here in NC. If I had a kid I'd make them read the book by Elizabeth Gilbert on him, Last American Man, than quiz 'em , best read I've had in years. Old Sequoyahan here '69 and '74,.
Odd how on every other episode he will loose his land if doesn't sell a load of firewood!
Odd how he moved off grid to get away from society and still has to have MONEY to pay GOVERNMENT.
@@commentdeleted173odd but true. If you dont pay property taxes, you lose it. Ín my state, if you are disabled or 62 or 70 and retired, you get a property tax eximption and dont have to pay it. When you die , thats a different story.
@@earlwright9715 What state is that? Im about to move there, my property tax goes up a grand every 5 years.
@@billcarver6539 Alabama
@@billcarver6539you live in illinois?
I wish I could visit him. HE is so interesting person.
I’ll have to be in contact
He also has air bnb rentals now, this video is very misleading and doesn’t tell the whole story…….
I know families face challenges but NEVER SELL if you have land.
They only turn into shopping centers and bougie a$$ neighborhoods. It ruins small towns all across America 😞
Take care Eustice ❤
Clever man always a good watch here in the great state of Scotland 🏴
State ?
If you wanna see him he a good friend of mine. He in Beaufort South Carolina two times a year.
Love The Mountain Men shows. Tom reminds me of my Dad who lives in a log home in Northern MN even has the same beard. Looks just like Tom HA! Has brothers with beards I have cousins and Uncles who love to hunt . Really have similarities with The Mountain Men. They are fun and make me laugh!! Great fun. Love from MN to the Mountain Men. Dad even has bears around..yikes!!😮
Y'all should read his biography and all he has done . He is not a backwoods hick ..
Love Eustace Conway!!
Eustace was way ahead of his time... I love Mountain Men. Why is this trying to put a gay spin on his friendship?
I'm sure he loved his friend. His friend had a wife and children.
Some people are just sick.
Some of just have to cause trouble 😞😞😞😡😡😡
I'm happy for Eustace and his success.. and I'm sorry he lost his irreplaceable great friend . My husband and I had a friend that we loved having around . He loved, loved !! projects . He died from Cancer too unfortunately. Miss him always. Larry could do anything and could figure out anything... He loved his friends . He was loyal. Irreplaceable. My sympathy to his family and Eustace. Hold his memory close to Your hearts with a smile. 😊
I live in and around the community where Eustis lives. He has many rental homes, and despite his nature, loving nature personality on TV he is a private investor for many developments that are actually tearing up land and building apartments for college kids in Boone and developments in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains to tear down the forest and build neighborhoods. His tools are not handed down nor made on his property. They are purchased at an antique mall on Highway 321 in between Boone and blowing rock. He may have been a survivalist at one point but now he’s just a rich old man that plays the part.
JC, HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO IF HE WISHES! IT'S CALLED AMERICA!
@@claudedalton8970 I do not disagree with you one bit. Of course anyone has the right to there liberties and fruits of there labor through hard work. I just have an issue with the misguided approach to publicly profiting off of land preservation “efforts on tv”while clear cutting property for housing developments at the same time on the back end. Not faulting him one but for his success I just know what’s going on and don’t buy into the bs
@@JC-gj1gg IN THAT CASE, AS YOU KNOW MORE THAN I DO ABOUT THIS, I AGREE WITH YOU IF THAT IS WHAT HE IS DOING. I DO NOT LIKE HYPOCRITES IF THAT IS WHAT HE IS, ESPECIALLY TO PROFIT AS I SEE HAPPENING DAILY IN WASHINGTON DC. I JUST BELIEVE IN FREEDOM TO LIVE AND LET LIVE, YET, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS AS YOU HAVE INFORMED ME. TY FOR EDUCATING ME MORE.
What investments are you referring to? I’m not familiar with him investing in developments around Boone. I’ve worked with him for the past 3 years on the rental houses you’re talking about. Every one of them was falling apart when he got it, and we went in and brought it back to life with his ingenuity. I could show you every nook and cranny on each of these homes, and they all bear a unique signature of the same Eustace that founded Turtle Island. He’s a flawed person like us all, but don’t be so quick to dismiss his new ventures.
@@Metal2Bach INTERESTING AND I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE AS I'M GLAD YOU ARE TELLING THE OTHER SIDE. THANK YOU AS I'M JUST AN OBSERVER.
failed to mention that he graduated from college
Love his show
So nothing really happened to him??? Click bait much?
I stopped watching Mountain Men after the episode where Eustace missed a deer while hunting and called his bad aim (or bad sights) a "misfire". No one on the show pointed out that if his gun fired, it was not a misfire, just a miss.
Big deal
@@russellzigler2180 Wasn't a bid deal to me, but neither was changing the channel.
How bout the episode where he had one of his teenage workers sight his rifle in for him then when he missed a deer he blew up on the youngster🤣🤣🤣NEVER have someone else sight you're firearms in except YOU!! Everyone's eyes see differently 😎😎
@@livewire2474 That's the same episode. He screamed "misfire!", as if the rifle misfired. And History channel narrator went right along with it.
Hahaaaa
The constant background music is distracting and annoying. In other words, too much static.
The old Boy Is a Multi Talented Craftsman, MacGyver; All in one. I think he Should Dedicate some Time To Diet and Exercise, Get old man Balboa , in shape, so as to better handle the Chores. He is a Gifted , Old School person, full of God Given Talent, and Wisdom.
In a interview, admits Eustace Conway that he is not as big a savage as he would like to appear.
" I am aware that a large part of it is acting. I know I'm a "showman". I know that I show people a picture of how I want to live. But what can I do? I do it so that people can benefit from it, he says and explains that he wants to inspire as many people as possible"
The same reportage also reveals that they profit well from being involved in the series.
Greetings from Germany
Peter
Thank you very much.
Always love watching you Eustace
Why did you not mention he has a BS degree in anthropology and English???
I live near him and actually did plumbing in a home of his that isn't, uh, shall we say, simple.
Good for him!! He is interesting and fun to watch. So sorry he lost his great Buddy Preston..too soon. RIP. They enjoyed working together. My Husband and I lost a greatest ever named Larry who loved working on projects with us too. Years later still miss him. If Eustace is doing well ..sharing the beauty of his land with others . Good for him . He obviously is a smart , successful and entertaining man!! Look at him as a inspiration not someone to be jelly of. 😊
@@suzyj.3389 he's not the guy, at all, that you see on TV. He is reality TV actor. A fake. And he's a jerk. I might be wrong, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, he didn't even pay for the work until lawyers were threatened.
Thank you for reminding me that British sounding people dont pronounce words correctly either.
it saddening hearing stories about how people got like 1000+ acres of land a few decades ago for very affordable prices knowing that in modern times any decent land is $3-5k+ per acre and the average guy making 50k or so a year will never own 1000 acres. good for him of course, but i wish i could get cheap land.
He bought this land with his life savings
3 to 5 thousand an acre? Land a quarter mile from my homestead sold for 112,000 per acre, that was last month, not city property but residential acres.
@@marybercegeay8069 depends on the state and if its close to a big city or not. in my state when a property is a 2hr drive from a major city you can easily find decent timber land or grass fields for under 10k an acre. of course valuable lakeside property, city property or subdivision property can cost 100k+ an acre, but generally only if its a prime location and already has some development done to it like utilities.
Those days are gone. After the Civil War veterans were granted a 150 acres.
Up until 1976 there was a homestead act but that's gone too.
Now it's hard work and worry to get it UNLESS someone Wills it to you then tbe government is gonna need inheritance tax😢😢😢
I named one of my cats Eustace Preston Allegheny in honor of the two best friends. “Better than a opossum in the pocket” ❤️
You don't have a friend like those two every day 👍👍👍❤️❤️
He is hands-down the best of all of the mountain men show. It's just incredible the things that he can do, the talents he possesses from from so long ago. You just don't come along and see people like that, the knowledge he possesses this day and age. Without him on the show it just would not be that interesting.
I watched it for Tom.
Useless was useless. Marty is like freaking MacGyver, he could survive any situation and fix anything. Tom was the most likable. Useless was the worst of the mountain men.
What happened to that old Timer Tom on Mtn Men?
@@chairlesnicol672 Was still on the last season of MM.
I have to place Tom and Eustace at the same level. Tom is much older and still manages to work and survive in a much harsher and demanding environment.
Missing Eustace
I would love to meet Eustace and see Turtle Island.
A real man
if anybody just wants the answer to the question in the title, you can skip the first 8.5 minutes of this 9.5 minute video.
He lived in his teepee while he was in college too.
Useless Conway is one of the reasons I don't watch Mountain Men anymore. The fakery was too painful to watch.
The most fake one was that idiot flying an airplane to trap weasels in Alaska
Many years ago before most knew of Eustace Conway, one of my cousins had a dog she named "Eustace". Her husband called him Useless.
Way too much of a word salad here! Just get to the basic explanation and forget all of peripheral language.
When you say Eutace's loving partner, please tell me that's strickly a business partner.
It was. Preston was like his brother
En español por favor
The show made him a million air
All respect guy from Western Kentucky ✌️🇱🇷🤘
He's a real Man !!! Don g Naples fl
I would love to be on turtle Island you need help I would love to come
Finally someone who has respect and is not jealous. Looking at him as an inspiration. Cool!!
@@suzyj.3389 I also love Eustuce an di want to help him one winter someday
He never even said what happened. Hello.
Not a mountain man he only lives 10 miles from town
CLICK BAIT! Nothing happened to Eustace he was still in the latest season of mountain men. Don't know where you get your info, he isn't worth 1 million, his net worth is $200,000.
1000 acrs, 1000 dollars an acre=1,000,000
He sold all his land and became a city slicker
He went back to teaching. Asu
You forgot to mention he is remodeling homes for AirBNB
Well, he has to do that because hes about to lose his land😂
01:57 a photo op. the saw is on the top of the blade. he knows better
@lukecurnutte2000 not on a tree base, 1st cut Apparently you haven't have much experience. either. with a tree trunk, you get right up on it. bottom of blade doing the cutting, i could see an upswing in branches for convenience, but it is still a photo op..
@lukecurnutte2000 did you watch the 2 linked videos? in each case. BOTH were bottom blade to trunk, BOTH. it is NOT advised to use the top of the blade in the "safety" aspect. for the blade will "hop" potentially causing injury. Granted.. It can be used in that way. but it is careless and not safe. And i also have used the top of the blade in small branch clearing. But He was felling a tree. and the most efficient way, is BLADE IN not on
He's taking time to print up POSTED SIGNS to keep your ass off his property!
It's ALL MINE and I'm buying more!
So?
I'm sure..others would do same. He wants his land to stay clean from unwanted invasion . I'm sure. If he rents to share with responsible others who will pay to come and respect it..good for him .. he has found a good way to make money and share the beauty .
I live off the Land ! and when the land is dead the food stamps help a lot ! lol
Thought he went college
Appalachian st ?
You don't have to work that hard, smart men meet rich women, and succeed
That hust makes you lazy and shallow.
Far too much commercial time for such an inconsequential video. I'm leaving.
,HE IS a good man that lived simple an taught many but the powers to be hate that it’s all about control.
Notice that he drive 3 Rd gen yota hmm interesting 🤔
We call him "useless" Conway. Seems like he always has to have help on his projects. Plus, we all know he's not really poor or struggling to survive.
For it isn't that he is useless, he is. It is because he is an asshole to the people helping him. Quite frankly I don't believe he is very intelligent. In my unprofessional opinion.
So do I!
Useless Conroy is what we all call him
I never liked him on the show.
"His beloved partner " ??? The narator said that several times. Is he trying to imply that Eustace Conway is gay ??
And? So what if he is?
@@Thepotatothatchokedamber I don't get your point !! It's neither here nor there. My point is lying and/or spreading rumors about someone's sexual orientation is not cool and even cause for litigation.
@@harrisonboone2248 You and mitch are missing the point. It's the NARRATOR who's stressing a romantic connection between Eustace and Preston, and it's OBVIOUS that the narrator thinks it's important. What part of "the facts" are you two so afraid of?
No he is capable of loving and having a great friend. Greatest Friends are treasures and lucky to have.
Sad that the local community Politicians were out to crush this man's lifestyle and way of life. This is a clear example that there is no such thing as freedom in the USA. You should be able to do as you wish on your own Land and share your Land with others as you choose. But that is the furthest from the truth. You would think that the community would embrace his lifestyle as it did bring in others from all around the Country and the local township would benefit from money that wouldn't have come to the local economy. But the Politicians want to persecute those last few true Humans
Utterly disgusting people who gets involved people private use of their own land.
Seriously, deadliest mountain just outside Boone🤣😂 No deadliest mountain in western North Carolina!!!! I live right over the mountain in East Tennessee😉
He should be the PRESIDENT.
======= R I P ======= PRESTON
Love Eustace , hate the music !
He got lucky the history channel ruins the lives of the people they claim to help
This is horrible
Ironically Eustice lives in a modern house in town now. Seriously, look it up. He's had one hell of an interesting life; read "The Last American Man".
This seems like a mockery from the English
This has to be a joke. Making a fire, cutting some brush, sawing a log, truck engine blowing up haha, these are everyday occurrences for a good part of the rural population. These shows are meant for city folk. The best is when he shoots a deer for meat. There are over 4000 000 deer a year harvested in Wisconsin every fall haha. Silly.
He looks pretty round for a mountain man. just sayin.
He was born in NC
Columbia SC
Loving partner? So Eustice is gay?
Not true. Not gay!!!
Useless
Uhhhh. Too english...😵💫
We all know Eustis and his best friend were in love by and whole buddies and that’s OK. Of course he has a broken heart chest ask his best friends wife she’s known all along she never be first.❤
Do you have proof of this ? It just galls me that anytime 2 people of same sex show genuine affection for each other, the gossip starts. But I never saw anything to point to a relationship, other than longtime devoted friends. Preston was married & devoted to Kathleen since 1975. After him caring for & nursing her back to health from cancer, she and other family nursed him during the 3 weeks he lived after his diagnosis.
What a vile, disgusting comment. Go get help.
Luv You MrCo nle
❤😂🎉y
I love useless conroy
Or British whatever you are
