BJ9564 Lee more like went to the mountains and trespass onto Treaty Land and because of it Americans broke the Treaties...it’s amazing how much they avoid talking about this. If you think about it they were stealing from the Natives...
@@dn2ze if the Europeans didnt come and conquer just like any other civilization did around the world, the natives would be a race of people still stuck in the stone age dancing around in animal skins, sacrificing each other so the sun comes out the next day....its not native land, they didnt just sprout here they migrated here. And they lost what they found to a superior group or groups of people...get over it.
"Longarm" or Larry as some know him is astoundingly the real deal Mountain man. I have been gifted to have known him for quite a number of years. He is most knowledgeable and he has on occasion shared his knowledge with me. it brings me the kind of joy that one can only get through history books or even better! Thank you for being a friend Longarm!
Great video! Love this era and what it entails. These boys look like they have been there and back. We need folks like this to keep the old ways alive. These people are probably the only ones that know what real freedom tastes like nowadays.
VolunteerEMS he was the movie didn’t tell the whole story but then again when has an American ever admitted what Natives have done for them. At least Canada has enough honour to acknowledge indigenous people and what indigenous people did for them...remember Europeans wouldn’t of survived if it wasn’t for Natives and Inuits...
@@dn2ze Ok that's true.. Mountain men often spiced up their stories too...so I guess it's possible he's lying about a solo 200 miler on foot and was helped along the way by natives. Sounds crazy when you think about it.
Unlike in the 1800's there was no fire bans so the scene with the propane tank had to be used for cooking. Later in the video there was no propane anything. The fires were started with flint and steel in snowy conditions. I know some of these men and I am a member of the AMM. Unlike the modern campers who would likely not last very long in the mountains the Mountain men of the AMM would.
Hell, I could watch a couple hours of this and not get tired of it... It would be more 'fun' doing it tho... DJ, we never did get together for that horseback camping trip. Damn shame too. That coulda been a blast... I think tomorrow I'll be finding my campsite in the woods in North Fla. It'll be fun, 'til the weather turns cold, then we'll see if I can still hack living outside all year long. Last time, it snowed here... It wasn't too bad 'cos I was living on my sailboat... This year it'll be a tent in the woods.. Lmsao... I'm too young to turn pussy yet! Lolol...
D.J. Moore Lmao... We had hard rains at least 2 or 3 times a day every day from San Antonio.... Rain you couldn't see 40 ft in front of you and ya couldn't take a chance on stopping for fear the guy behind ya might run yer happy ass over!!! LMMFAOROGL. I mean it was a rush... Wish we coulda slid by to say hey to y'all but U Haul and hills aren't a good mix... We will catch up to ya tho... Have a great day... TTYL Dean... Hi to all..
Fascinating way of life I know that’s the way I would have like to live it when you let a form of live dictate to you something dies inside of you and that something it’s Freedom!!
LARPera trying to make themselves feel better, ahahaa. These are men who are trained in primitive survival skills. You wouldn't last a day in the bush. Stop trying to compare this to LARPing because they are not pretending to be anything they are not. Moron.
@@irishtrapper9149 A day is a bit of an exaggeration. It's also North America. It's much more dangerous in Africa, South America, Asia, and Australia than North America. Contrast the laziness of these contemporary mountain men with contemporary marathon monks, who walk 80+ km every day through the mountains for seven years without any days off, with a walking stick, a hat, and straw sandals. Those are survivors.
1:58 Breaking up roasted coffee beans. 3:23 When you purchased a rifle, you received a rifle and the bullet mold that went with that rifle. I pour my own bullets for my rifle and smoothbore. Yep, I rendezvous and winter. My main job is a cook. I do enjoy; but I don't use propane, ricklex.
@@jimbobojim4634 This isn't LARP you idiot. Stop trying to justify your little dragon Ball cosplay life. They actually trap and kill animals for meat, they live a traditional skill that men can't. They're survivalists.
This is cool and all but what about getting medication for things such as high blood pressure and other medical conditions? Are they allowed to take that with them?
Erik Scherder they had “sunglasses” as far back as Mesopotamian times lol. You ever see those stupid look glasses from with no lenses and only those horizontal lines across them? Well that’s how “sunglasses” were first made, except they used bones to make them. The idea was, the window blind-type design kept the sun out of your eyes much better. Hats worked better though.
Hey you still planning on going to Alaska? I plan on doing something similar. Trapping at my final destination. If you're not over your head about it and have thought long and hard let me know, I'm nearly ready to leave. Many people say this, few actually go through it. Oh well
The question no one can answer is how did they get black powder when they ran out.. They could substitute rocks for lead, but they must have know how to make powder along the way.. Bat quinoa, charcoal, & horse pee ???? Does anyone know ?
I don't believe they could making black powder is more complicated than grinding up charcoal and mixing some stuff with it .Everything I've found says they had to wait for rendezvous or travel to fort with a trading post . I'm not an expert on making powder so l can't say it's impossible ,but having grown up listening to old story's and what people had to do when things ran out I think its unlikely .
Younger people often do not have the income to afford the costumes, I mean "gear." It's more about romanticism than actual exertions from trapping everyday in the mountains.
Winter is raining season and not all of Florida is tropical. It is a stereotype. I live in a near state and we share the same weather as them. You will have days where it is good idea to have some warm clothing on days where you experience cold rain
Dude they were weeks traveling west of Missouri for crying out loud. Where were they going to find pure refined saltpeter and sulfer, much less willow charcoal. They were to busy trying to stay alive and trap & trying not to get scalped or freeze to death or starve.
Denis Degamon if they had sense they would have a keg of powder to refill their horns, maybe a couple kegs of gunpowder if it would be over a year or two before they went to a rondy again
fred sims that is as far as I remember, besides he had grown up on the frontier in a cabin with his family and worked a while as a blacksmith apprentice in St, Louis before he signed on with general Ashley
A life I used to dream of in my younger years. It would be hard but the freedom that comes along with it would be rewarding.
Me Two in my younger days😎💯
I am 65 an still dream of this life😊😊
i love The Mountain Men Era and Wild West Era forever and always :D
They committed genocide, had terrible hygiene, and most didn't even know how to read.
YEAH.... what a great era!

Deadeyeguy_45 😂😂😂
I have seen this great video so many times. The guys really live their dreams. I envy this cool and rudimentary lifestyle.
I find myself drawn to pirates and mountain men more than any other American figures. And it’s always ultimately about the freedom.
I like studying the history of the mountain men and the stories. Hugh Glass is my favorite.
Dan Hackens he got saved by Natives too remember that lol
Dan Hackens yeah Ive always enjoyed the story of Colters Run
@@dn2ze He didn't actually.

LOL they don't live like that, they LARP on the weekends...
This is the freedom I love about my country and right now it’s not looking too good
I remember being there for the rendezvous where most of this was shot.
Молодцы!!! :))) Приятно было посмотреть ! Хотелось бы попробовать окунуться не надолго в эту культуру. Нооо , я из другой страны.
Peaceful life, I love it.
Great. This is what living history is all about
Nothing is as it seems anymore...but I would think when shtf...they could survive quite well....
I wish I could hear a full song of what that guy was playing
I too want to know what the name of the song he was singing? This is a life I only dreamed about living. one day one day
Keith Neitzke then take some effort and do it
Jim's red pants on UA-cam
I, honestly, wish to live a similar way of life, a more traditional comanche and Cherokee lifestyle though
4:19 uhmm thats a nice propane tank grill ya got going there lol
there was a "burn ban" on at the time of the filming in that particular camp. Scenes were filmed at several camps at different times.
+Mitch Speth Let's see your kit.

This is very cool ! I love that kind of stuff
I would love to do this for a month after high school
I'd love to join these guys on a trip...
Lucky guys! What a beautiful and rewarding life.
Rewarding? most mountain men met a grim fate at the hands of First Nations peoples.
Thank you for all!
Excellent. Shared in our Wild West system to help people learn.
Must of been tough though. Thanks for sharing. 👌👍

The one thing that really gets me, is wearing moccasins in the snow. I can't get my mind around that...
Are you guys ever in the Utah mountains???
Мужики, я вам завидую.
Back when people were still human beings.
ΑWOSOME....
I would love to do this
masook pak eko 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Hook me up brothers I bring my hounds we get some Bear you can skin a Grizz lol
I have that exact same pair of fingerless gloves haha.
Does anyone know the name of the song they're playing in the background of this video (sung by the gentleman with the guitar and mustache)?
Where were these people filmed at?
oooh Year!!!
Anyone know what song that was that he was playing on his guitar?
I want that life
I have scoured the internet, and cannot find period correct sunglasses that match Longarms, and I want a pair so badly!
Try Crazy Crow
I wonder if anyone makes modern versions of the weapons they used
Longarm makes em.
Anyone know a group that isn't invitation only?
Well I know now I'm living a fake lifestyle hope its not to late to change
Un video precioso sobre la vida real de los "Hombres de las montañas" en EE. UU.
Anyone know who originally sings that closing song?
More like the last of the first.
How would one go about joining these men?
Secret in the mountain.
Those guys totally spoon for warmth.
Did they have sunglasses in those days? :))

I just turned 18 and lookin for these fellers
Where can I join I'm very interested in the fur trapper era
Please teach me. I'm an ex infantry eagle scout with no family. I'm planning a 2500 mile hike to Alaska. I should just double it and go to Hudson bay
Hey you still planning on going to Alaska? I plan on doing something similar. Trapping at my final destination. If you're not over your head about it and have thought long and hard let me know, I'm nearly ready to leave. Many people say this, few actually go through it. Oh well
Infantry Eagle Scout?
Where do I begin
is this a tv series? i want the title please
Baby Ama no its a real thing people do no TV series about it though if that's what you ment
This is made from multiple rendezvous from throughout the year
I wanna spend a month doing what they do
The question no one can answer is how did they get black powder when they ran out.. They could substitute rocks for lead, but they must have know how to make powder along the way.. Bat quinoa, charcoal, & horse pee ???? Does anyone know ?
R Toguidver when powder an lead ran out it was out it was their biggest fear for powder to get wet !
Powder can be dried near the fire - very carefully - but some had to know how to make powder in the wild, there weren't any towns yet..
I don't believe they could making black powder is more complicated than grinding up charcoal and mixing some stuff with it .Everything I've found says they had to wait for rendezvous or travel to fort with a trading post .

Hey guys
Does somebody recognize the song played in the background?
its "the village people"with altitude!!haha
Jess Baker oh real funny urbanite trash!
Last of the last. Why not invite younger men into it and teach em?
You can find rendezvous groups online, they do welcome almost anyone. Especially younger people as long as they have proper gear
Younger people often do not have the income to afford the costumes, I mean "gear." It's more about romanticism than actual exertions from trapping everyday in the mountains.
Start basic and trade up
If you are seriously interested mountain men and women will help you

Where do I sign up . Get me out of here
What is the song?
Don't you have enough since to go to Florida in the winter .?????
Winter is raining season and not all of Florida is tropical. It is a stereotype. I live in a near state and we share the same weather as them. You will have days where it is good idea to have some warm clothing on days where you experience cold rain

Old dudes playing in the woods. Sylvan Hart they ain’t.
I WANT TO DO THIS
I'm surprised that they didn't figure out that they could make gun powder.
They did. As early as the revolution, settlers in Kentucky that were part of Boonestown were making gunpowder from sulfur, charcoal, and bat dung
Dude they were weeks traveling west of Missouri for crying out loud. Where were they going to find pure refined saltpeter and sulfer, much less willow charcoal. They were to busy trying to stay alive and trap & trying not to get scalped or freeze to death or starve.
Denis Degamon if they had sense they would have a keg of powder to refill their horns, maybe a couple kegs of gunpowder if it would be over a year or two before they went to a rondy again
I tried contacting them and couldn't reach my areas contact 🤔
