Mountain Man Program Mountain Man
Have you ever wanted to learn how to tan animal hides, setup a trap line, make primitive cordage, track and stalk animals, flint knapping, shoot muzzleloaders, or throw tomahawks? Can you catch a fish with just your own skills? How about building a real log cabin?

The legends and feats of the mountain men have persisted largely because there was a lot of truth to the tales that were told. The life of the mountain man was rough, and one that brought him face to face with death on a regular basis--sometimes through the slow agony of starvation, dehydration, burning heat, or freezing cold and sometimes by the surprise attack of animal or Indian. The mountain man's life was ruled not by the calendar or the clock but by the climate and seasons.
