You have a Wonderful family to be able to let ypou follow your dreams. Thank you and your family for sharing a wonderful journey through some very wonderful dangerous country. I would of had a gun😊

You know that the early mountain men bought provisions such as coffee' sugar and salt so. No shame in bringing such things. I do however love the pure way you go about these adventures. My father did the same in Alaska in the late 40's and early 50's. God bless and I'll be keeping a good thought for you and yours.

Number one I am a retired fish and wildlife officer from Alaska and I can guarantee you if a man is starving the hunting laws do not apply. Number two you actually have to kill something to break a law to begin with, I'm thinking behind the scenes The producer slips you a sandwich in your sleeping bag along with the hot hands😮. And certainly a sack of cracked corn for seven.

My uncle used ro use my childhood address and my faimlys house as his home base when he was an OTR driver. He kept his cars, guns, motorcycle... ect here. He saved alot of money that way and me and my brother were always excited to see him every month or two when he came to town.

Support crew does not automatically mean food or shelter. It does mean more for him to ultimately consider/worry about than himself & his horse. Honesty is a major part of survival & filming survival, as it happens, when it happens. There are enough of us that know about real life survival to help keep most of these survival shows fair & square. If you don't think it's on the up & up don't watch. There are plenty of others to watch. I am enjoying & identifying with this trip enough to want to see more from Laramy.❤

He ate everything on all the animals he killed God is good 🙏

It really blows my mind with so many rules on what/how you have to hunt in the middle of nowhere. Wasn't like that growing up for me. If it passed on my land of 80 acres then it was fair game. And we ate dear, rabbit, wild turkey, beaver, and snake. No rules. Mind you we also had a very big garden and other farm raised animals to eat as well. We only killed what we needed to live. And we always ate what we killed and tanned the hides, dogs got the bigger bones. Good way to grow up.

My father and I walked 50 miles into the wind river range and stayed there a month. I learned my survival skills/mindset from a man that ate dogs, bugs and horses in order to survive.

Fun to watch and kudos for his attempt. Respect that he's out there while I critique from my sofa. Each episode shocked over and over that he didn't bring a basic tarp knowing rain and snow would be coming. Surely even trappers of 100+ years ago had canvas.

We never tied out horses solid.. We tied them to a tire or a big log that they could move by raising their head. They couldn't run away but stopped them from getting hurt on a solid tie..

Love the fact that you dont use silly gimmicks in your videos. Found you to be very insightful. Your videos are jam packed with great information.

What a beautiful family you have my friend. Been watching your adventures for years. I grew up with a family of mountain men, loggers and outdoorsmen and women. Your stories and ambitions to show the true mountain man lifestyle is very refreshing. Keep up the stellar work and let your soon to be wife know the content is amazing. Much love from the Hurn’s in the Pacific Northwest

I can’t believe you don’t have a blanket on 7 and have brought him into the Lepanto with you. You’d both be warmer! And if you start at the bottom and hang your limbs frond down layered to the top like shingles you’d also be warmer and drier. Also you could’ve tied the rope so you could dry your clothes and use them for wind breaks while they dry. This is my first time watching and it’s beautiful country. Good luck hunting.

I watch lots of bushcrafters, And canoe trippers.... And do a little camping myself.. Why do I get the feeling? This man is doing nothing more than PLAYING at being a mountain man?

I'm old now and can't do as I used to but I will follow along with those who can. Thank you again!

i just watched this whole video nonstop. epic journey.

id take a pack of wolves vs pack of coywolves Theres a pack of ten or more on the trails i walk and ran into them 2 days ago and one charged me but only 1/2 way between me and pack. Think it was alpha just testing me as they all know me and follow me in pairs sometimes and howl with me God Bless and Much Love

This guy can challenge himself however he likes, but I wish he'd wouldn't say that he's doing it the way the origanal mountain men did. Right from the get go "I'm not gonna have a gun out there." Every mountain man story I've ever heard they at minimum had a musket and as much black powder and lead that they could carry. The other big one was something along the lines of hoping he could find some going out there to keep his knives sharp. People back then didn't leave home with out having a flint and steel to start a fire with, both of which can be used to sharpen a knife.

Love that horse! Where the heck do you find a calm, calm, calm green horse like Seven???

The mountain men utilised what was available at the time. They even learned from and utilised accoutrements the Indians had. I’m certain it was a constant learning process of trial and error. Without question, they were tough and rugged men who blazed trials into the unknown wilds. We can never fully duplicate their lives, but we can have fun reenacting what portions of their lifestyle are possible. I’m an IronHorse mountain man. I blend the old with the new while riding my two-wheeled Horse named Old Lady Harley. Let’s not be too harsh on Sasquatch. He’s having a good time.

I watched this last year once and I'm watching it again on my breaks from working on some of my lifelong dreams. At my age (72), I suppose you might say it's one of the items on my bucket list, but with a strong body, good health, the grace of God and a degree in mastering old school larnin', I am (and I say this under my breath) finally in a place where I feel I can act on them. I used to work for a man in North Idaho who trained horses. Then we would ride them ten miles up the mountain to fine tune them for what this handsome feller (okay, you too) is doing right here. We saw BIG cat prints, moose and elk dropping and evidence of bears in the hood. They're all up there just 20 miles from the B.C. border. When we reached the top, we could see all over creation including Canada. That's one of many I can tic off my list; smiling from ear to ear! But for now it's pause and back to making another one happen. Until later, the absolute best to you and yours! Don't stop what you're doing! Peace out, Naomi🌹

You can't dig down many feet of snow to find plants. Better have a stash before winter sets in the Rockies.

Horses are so cool. At 56:43 the horse stars to look back to the right at the rider as if to say..."Hey man, I thought we were a team? Don't throw me under the buss in front of these guys? :)" Perhaps it will encourage this green horn to step up as he learns. Horses usually do. Heck, I'm 54 and I don't walk into tall grass - well EVER. Good temperament shown by the trainer. Peace

This is a nice look at what a trailsmen or even just people travelling through the old west (well to them it would have been the new opening up west).
