mountain men

Lessons from Journal of a Trapper

Removed from the constraints of civilization there is a romantic lure of being a mountain man during the 1800’s. Pristine views, hunting in remote locations, and a life of adventure has the outdoorsman in me wishing I could travel back in time and see if I had the mettle to be a beaver trapper. The other part knows these men were tough, faced death on a regular basis, and lived an uncomfortable life.
