Of all the people and roles in the West I’ve always found the mountain men the most interesting
The ultimate free men.
Perfect life? I dont think so. Living in the bush and contending with mother nature was not easy. Hard, hard, work.
It's my favorite era. The fur trade days
@sirusroberts1usmc not really.....you had to deal with all sorts of rules too. On "Indian" territory you just can't live in anarchy....
@@lusolad it was a choice they all made. An easy life in prison is never as good as a hard life being free, on your own hook.
I started hunting with a flintlock rifle because of my admiration of the mountain men. Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite movies. I wish there was more written and movies about the original west, the Ohio valley and Kentucky. Another great video, thanks
Much appreciated.
There's something about the scent of burning black powder and the roar of a muzzleloader . It takes me back to the days of the orignal colonists , the fights at Lexington Green , Concord , Swamp Fox Marion ambushing the redcaots along the Pee Dee river . If that don't stir the blood of a Patriot , I don't what else to say.
Victor Waddell well said
Here in Idaho, it was a huge mountain man environment. Fun times for sure. I laughed at your pleasant words on the Arizona heat. Here in Idaho we have the same thing as you however, its in the winter. Snow turns to ice in December and finally starts to melt off in March. Weather much more conducive to mountain men. Thanks again for another informative episode.
Thanks, Ralph. Interesting info!
I enjoy that you showed the lead cylinders which held (and kept waterproof) the powder. The cylinders were opened, the powder poured out and the lead was melted and poured into bullet molds. The amounts of black powder and lead were calculated so that there was a full powder charge for every bullet manufactured. Lewis and Clark had these when they began their expedition.
Smart packaging indeed!
It was smart thinking!
Extra points for Kent Rollins...
Kent's a cool guy.
One of my favorite movie quotes, "I'm Bear Claw Chris Lapp, blood kin to the Grizz that bit Jim Bridger's ass". I also find it ironic that you did this video because I've been looking at Hawken rifles. Maybe you should do a video on Hawken rifles.
I probably will!
"I'm Bear Claw Chris Lapp, blood kin to the Grizz that bit Jim Bridger's ass" That's one hell of a way to introduce yourself 😀👍
I have a Thompson Center.Hawken replica ( shooting replica ) in .54 caliber , percussion fired , wooden furniture with brass fittin's . Not as nice as a truly handmade smokepole , but she'll do .
I too have a Thompson Center Hawken replica, in .50 cal. It is a pretty good firearm, although I think the Traditions rifles are more accurate representations. Just my thoughts.
@@davidmussack4529 That's the brand I'm looking at. Traditions have some good looking Hawken rifles.
Ol' Kent is likely to pop-up anywhere!🤠
Yep
@Deplorable Whiteman Those and a filled coffee pot!
Thanks again Santee & Co. ! I've always been partial to the Mountain Man topic . I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina . Have you ever heard of the series of books titled Foxfire? This series of books numbers about 24 or so , written about the lives and skills of the people of the Southern Appilachian mountains in Northern Georgia , and Western N.C. Literally hundreds of topics from moonshining , hunting , faith healing , old school doctoring , cabin building , hog butchering , planting by the signs , fireplace building , etcetera . And do you know there was a US Navy Escort Aircraft Carrier named USS Santee that fought in World War 2? Well , See Y'all down the trail !
Very cool, Victor. Thanks for sharing.
Mountain Man (Charlton Heston, Brian Keith), one of my all time favorite movies. Now I gotta try to find it, and watch it TODAY, Thanks 😊 have a Great Weekend. 🤙🏼🇺🇸❤️🤠
Hope you enjoy it!
Where did my CDs of The Mountain Men , Jeremiah Johnson , and The Revenant get to ? Maybe the same scoundrel that keeps stealing Santee"s whiskey took them .
Victor Waddell 😜😁👍🏼🤠
You the man Santee! Another entertaining piece of history.
Thanks, man. I appreciate ya. Interestingly, silver was a big trading item for them.
Another great episode Santee!
I especially loved this episode because I have always been fascinated by the Mountain Man era and have read a lot of books on them. I've also been to the Green River Rendezvous and Museum Of The Mountain Men in Pindale, Wy , as well as Fort Bidger in Bridger, WY. Both are well worth the time to go and see.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
JT
Thank you. One day I hope to get to a rendezvous.
Santee ,
I think you'd really like the Green River Rendezvous. They put on all kinds of Mountain Men demonstrations. They also sell a lot of Mountain Men trade goods.
We had a slide-in truck camper. We stayed at a campground in Boulder , Wyoming and drove back and forth to the Rendezvous. It was nice to park our truck with the camper on it in a regular parking space and go check out the rendezvous , then go back to the truck to rest and make lunch etc.
There is dry camping on public land closer to the rendezvous if you prefer that.
JT
That's a cool map of the West at the beginning. Lots of interesting information. Having lived in Chico, Northern California for many years, I always wondered why no one thought to go just a bit north of the Donner Pass route and scout out what would become Beckwourth Pass, at least until he did. It's much lower and less snowier than Donner.
Cool that you know the area.
Beaver lives do matter!!!!!🤣
Love Tex's hat.👍
As always great info packed video🤠
Thank you!
We had a question about blank cartridges. How are they made or do you make your own for the shows?
Thanks a bunch Sante😁
Always makes my day to see a new video from you. Thanks, Santee.
You're welcome! Much appreciated.
I had no idea there were mountain men get togethers or places to buy the gear. In Oklahoma I'm nowhere near that sort of lifestyle.
2020 Fur Trade Rendezvous at Fort Washita and one at Woolaroc
@@ArizonaGhostriders Interesting. Seems odd to have them here in Oklahoma. I have not ran across them here before.
@@RhettyforHistory Not too weird actually. Oklahoma would be a central location close to the mountains of New Mexico, where trappers and corporate reps could meet and have exchanges. There was also a large population of Natives in the Oklahoma/Indian Territory.
“Beaver lives matter!” Haha!! Love it!
HEHE
Canadians : Eh ?
@@ArizonaGhostriders I didn't know you guys pelt that way about fur trapping. Get it......pelt??? Why am I hearing frogs and crickets?
@@Squib1911 HA! Pretty good there, Squib.
You mentioned Dixie Gun Works, I happen to live in the next town over from them, and get to treat myself to a visit at their store, as well as their antique car museum. I go in and drool over the guns on display. Once years ago, when the original owner was still living, I got to hold in my quivering hand an original first generation peace maker.
Oooo, that's a good memory, alright.
"beavers lives matter" had me 😆😆😆
Watch out for beaver riots, Santee!
Although I think Dirty Dan would stop them singlehandedly.
He would use a shotgun....or a cannon.
He might unleash the T-Rex!
Beaver castor smells and tastes like a combination of vanilla and raspberry, which was used in food and perfume. Fur-real.
Yup, beaver butt-gland juice!
Point of interest about mountain man firearms. The flintlock was used by fur trappers long after the invention of the caplock. One could always find a chuck of rock that could make a spark, but caps needed to be factory-made. They MIGHT have been available at some of the later rendezvous, but it wasn't certain that the traders would have them. Caps contained fulminate of mercury, which is a rather touchy explosive. The caplock didn't come into general usage until after the mountain man era
"Lostrifle" Mike Grossberg
Interesting. Thanks.
Watching Now ! Lovin it . Thank you kindly for sharing . Peace ,grace and love all ways wins . Howie
Thanks!
Thank you so much for these videos. Im about to run a western style RPG, and all the real research I've had to do consisted of wikipedia and your channel. I've probably watched 80% of your videos, and each one has helped me get a general, and also more specific, understanding of the old west. Thanks so much.
Glad I could help! Much success, and please tell us about the game in the future.
Thank you Sir for the well done video , as you have hundreds of subjects of the wild West and I'm enjoying every bit of it , I consider myself to be a fanatic and crazy to know more about wild west .So I'm a lucky guy and happy to view all your videos. Thanks again. From Salisbury Park.
Many thanks!
Hey Santee, can we hear bout how civil war vets and the war it’s self effected the west? -RedheadRedneck (a bored civil war reenactor)
Good idea. Thanks.
Great idea from another bored Confederate. I have been reenacting for almost 40 years. I was with the 1st NC Volunteers/11th Regiment NC Troops. Currently I am in the Artillery with Adam's Battery near Wilmington NC. I have also been Chief Cavalry Scout and Guerrilla.
@Eric Russ you and about every Johnny Reb and Billy Yank in this country
I like the word "accoutrements". Daffy Duck said it best, and in a western! "Pardon me whilst I adjust my accoutrements."
Being a huge Daffy Duck fan, I should have thought about that one. Shame on Santee.
My ancestors were the Proto-Mountain Men, Early French Canadians who traveled rivers so mighty and mountains so huge, through the swampy marshes and under the noses of some of the hostile tribes to hunt and trade with our friend tribes. Le Voyageurs Rendezvous
So cool!
Great video as always Santee :) :) keep up the great work you doing :)
Thanks a ton!
I was at a 1816' era military post as a renactor for about 6 years (?). The one s that could afford it would get the Hudson Bay coats that the traders wore in the winters.
One of the renactor shown us his coat once and then the modern Hudson Bay label inside. He said , " I haven't seen anyone yet that was brave enough to remove that label. " Hudson Bay has been around for about 300 years or more. 😁
HA! Yeah, I agree. Some items you leave the label in.
Great topic and video Santee, thank you. Bill is a good shot with that frying pan, that will teach that skeleton not to smoke.
Bill picks on the poor skeleton a lot.
Another great vid, Santee!🍻✌
Thanks again!
Thank you. That was what I was looking for
Glad I could help
Great video Santee!
Thanks!
I was waiting for this one :3
Good
Skeleton got beamed for lighting that smoke! I laughed hard on that one.
Bill is just downright mean sometimes.
Oh, how I've been waiting for this one... AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like it!
I pretty much look like one those guys, just need some buckskin clothes and a dead racoon on my head to complete the picture.
Hilarious and informative video!
I wonder what a T-rex hide fetched back in those days.🦖🦖🦖
Shhhh!! If he hears that he'll get really upset.
Tan my hide at 121 that thar AGR logo in the hair on hide well done!!! Wish this one was a bit longer, really kewl ! You folks keep getting better!!
Thank you!
Great video Santee, could you ever imagine wearing buck skins in August here?
Love your videos.
Nope.
Great Show
Appreciated.
Another excellent addition. I've heard that the mountain men used to dress their squaw's up in the very finest jewelry and clothes to show off at the rendezvous. Sounds like a good time was had by all.
I bet they swapped squaws, also!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I think squaws would be an excellent topic for another video.
Hey Santee! I am now following Arizona Ghostriders on Facebook! Thanks for another great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Very informative video as always. I will definitely send in my design for cattle brand. I created one awhile back to represent my wife and myself.
Please do!
Great video Santee
Thanks!
This is the most amazing channel on youtube
Much appreciated.
I have been waiting for this, and I wanna do it for my first reinactment I do if I can, iv always been intrigued by the mountain man era
Go for it!
Hi Santee sounds like i need some of these mountain men clothes, after 30+years I still don't own winter appropriate clothes lol,.what a cool contest to,. I lobs your sense of your humor its brilliant
Hey that is much appreciated. I"m sure if we ever got together for a beer it would be a lot of laughs.
@@ArizonaGhostriders + Anytime :) and we most certainly would mate
I like the frying pan toss .Here in Canada one can t own a hand gun but nail a varmint with the cast iron ain t no joke . Peace out fellow earthling
Thank you!
good research done on this Santee
Thank you!
Good taste! Love some Kent Rollins!
He and I did a few collabs together. He and Shannon are terrific.
Thank you, as someone whose local black powder shooting club focuses on pre 1840 stuff from this era, this was pretty interesting. Nice to see folk shooting those Hawkens!
Yes!
The mountain man has always been fascinating to me I'm beginning to think I was born in the wrong time would have loved to have been one
Yeah?
Arizona Ghostriders outta have sum sorta contest.
We should. What do you think it should be, Gerry? Any ideas?
@@ArizonaGhostriders A video narrative about/from an actual location of historical significance. Preferably a seldom discussed site. AGR will use any, or all, submissions as needed. It should be a place seldom encountered, often mentioned in history, and worthy of archiving for posterity.
Or, mebbe the best John Escapule tattoo.
Mountain Men, Buckskinners, Gold Panners, Boucaniers, and Pirates. Men (and sometimes women) who typically didn't fit in, or even care for societal "norms". They would cross all jobs and trades in an effort to live a relatively free life, and many is the tale of a man who had done all of the above and more. They were those who got bored easily. A most interesting part being that many of the men were not far off of the descriptive song "I was born under a wanderin' star" from Paint Your Wagon. Man - "His arm is pretty badly broken" Ben Rumson - "You a doctor?" Man - "Horse Doctor, but bones is bones. Also a blacksmith!" Tradeskills were important, and these men typically had them in a wide variety of trades. In the movie Yellowstone Kelly; actor Clint Walker (Kelly) tells his young tenderfoot Anse that in hard times he can cut firewood and leave it with a pouch down on the river. Riverboat captains would leave him gold for the firewood. Giving credence to the idea that a clever man could make it by knowing such skills and "little" things. Thank you Santee, great video as always! Places to check out for clothing, costuming, and information (as stated but also including) Crazy Crow, Dixie Gunworks, Track of the Wolf, Townsends(Jas. Townsend & Son Inc), and many more!
Thank you!!
Hi santee hope all is well with you and your family another interesting upload sorry I’m late but it’s so hard getting around to my RUclips family but I’m here now for my true friend now full view 👍
Thank you, John!
DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (c)2006
OK!
Santee you are a legend and it’s right when a fellow RUclipsr friend of mine said that you was a nice man how right was he as you know it’s so hard to find genuine friends you have a awesome channel and great editing I wish one day I could learn how to do this I can’t even do a thumbnail but that’s life I can’t rely on my brother anymore I have to pay everytime anyway santee I hope you enjoy my recipes and thanks for yet another fantastic video take care and remember your a legend 👍
I appreciate that. I can help you with the thumbnail, I friended you on FB.
Thanks, Santee!
Welcome!
AWESOME !!
Thanks!!
Thanks for another great video. I must admit, there is a certain stereotype one thinks of when the Mountain Man is mentioned.
That stereotype isn't too far off.
Awesome video keep them coming I just subscribed to your channel my friend
Awesome thank you!
Thanks I’m glad I watched this video learned something new
Glad to hear it
Nice job, Santee!
Thanks!
Approved :)) Always entertaining :D
Glad to hear it!
I didn't think they still had those types of rendezvous but that's really cool that they do. Almost like a western type of swap meet kind of thing. But that's cool. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🌵🌵
Yes they do! It is cool.
Hi Santee 😊 great topic this week! Keep gunpowder dry amigo.
Will do! Thank you!
Hey Santee, thanks for the video, it helps a lot for my Red Dead Redemption 2 mountain man character, love from Indonesia.
You're welcome.
Oh man I love Kent rollins!
Also love Mountain men. Dunno why. I always have a mountain man outfit in rdr,
Be good to have one around when you need him.
Pandemic or not, my wife and I made reservations for Tombstone in September. Which has been a dream of mine forever. We might even drive to Colorado on the way home so I can see Doc Holliday’s tombstone.
You'll be ok. Tombstone seems to be wide open. This weekend is Doc Hollidays...and I hear there is a good turnout.
Arizona Ghostriders I wish I could be there for that, hopefully next year. Either way I’ll be walking the streets of Tombstone next month dressed as John Henry Holliday ❤️❤️
Well I got the weaponry down:
A Kentucky long rifle which I built from a kit
An actual blacksmith Forged tomahawk
Now the knifes I have (and are my favorite) are Bowie knives but can these be qualify as a mountain man’s knife?
Actually it would.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Santee I disagree with you there. I'm into woodcraft (aka bushcraft). While a Bowie knife is an intimidating knife in a fight. It is way too large and clumsy for efficient use as a tool. It is not well suited for use in woodcarving, skinning, and butchering.
Instead of a Bowie knife, I recommend a jackknife in a pocket, butcher knife on the belt and the tomahawk on the belt. Later add a hunter variety axe which would be a 15"-18" handle length Scandi grind axe strap to a haversack.
Some accounts tell of bushcrafters with just their rifle, large axe and a jackknife. One account tells of one hunter who broke the stock of his rifle and he used an axe to cut the wood from a tree and then used his jackknife to carve a new stock.
Look into getting any of the following . A Russell ' Green River ' knife , a clasp knife , a ' scalping ' knife , a ' roach belly ' a big butcher . I have an A.G. Russell Green River and a couple of Old Hickory Butcher knives that I've modified and made sheaths for . The Russells come in skinner , Dadley , and Buffalo Hunter blade styles . The very curved knife shown in the video is a Buffalo Hunter style . You can buy the knives with factory handles , or without them and make your own . Sheaths are usually purchased seperately , but available on the same website . Dixie and Crazy Crow are the largest sellers of these products . Back in the day , makers would sell knives by the case to Mountain Men and Native Americans as trade items . Those knives were almost exclusively blades without handles and sheaths , the end users would finish them as they saw fit . Wood was the usual handle material , but elk antler and buffalo horn weren't unheard of . Sheaths could be plain leather or rawhide , but some liked to have beadwork done on them . I hope this helps . Keep your powder dry , Pilgrim !
I have one of those kits! Its probably older than my kids! I need to put it together.
Alvin Sanchez no my grandpa is in the AMM American mountain men and he said this is not really accurate the boee knife is the mountain man knife
Every year, except this year due to the pandemic, we go to the Fort Bridger Rendezvous in Fort Bridger, Wyoming and its always a fantastic event to go to and dress in era clothing. If anyone ever has the chance they really should attend.
Thanks for that. I hope to go one day.
A new a mountain man by the name of "Hatchet Jack", a crazier fellow you ever did see, he once spent 2 years bunking with a mountain Lion in it's den, it didn't end well.... The big cat never got use to him
I bet that without a string that cat got bored.
You mentioned Dixie Gun Works. If your ever in Tennessee, you should stop in at their facility in Union, Tn. About 85 miles from Memphis.
Maybe one day.
I sure do like the “Dressing the Part” series Santee. Thanks! - Jed 🤠
More to come!
Please make these videos longer. I'd love an hour long video of you talking about mountainan man clothes
Thank you! I work a 40+ hour work week plus making videos. There simply is no more time.
@@ArizonaGhostriders This is a huge stretch I'm taking, but it's worth a shot, because the outcome could be epic. Look up Lindybeige on RUclips. He's a fellow reenacter, and he is as British as a British man can be. If you two could somehow collaborate, it would be fantastic. A very VERY English Englishman, and a very VERY American American, both extremely passionate about living history. Just a thought, sorry to be a bother, I'm just an excited fanboy of you both
Love the "Mons T. rectus" ;) >silly giggle< ...T. rectus??? he damn near kilt us. Gone a bit squirrely, you knows, been up in them mountains back since before they was even foothills. Remembers back when there was a one heck of a flash and a bang. When he came to he was deef for nigh on what felt like forever and all his huntin gear blowed clear off. Went through quite a cold spell there for a bit, but damn was the steak good then,decent portions, decent leftovers you could do something with, like those nice fur coats too! Ever since the flash bang ordeal, I just didn't have my youthful complexion, so having so nice warm woolies were a wonderful thing. Then it warmed up and the landscape was well crambled.
Thanks for the grin!
@@ArizonaGhostriders :) Glad you grinned, it's what I was shootin' for ;) Have a good one:)
I've already made my entry.
Two of the most prominent fur trading companies here in the northwest were The Hudson Bay company and the PNW (Pacific Northwest) companies.
Also prominent were Rocky Mountain Fur Comp. and Colombia Fur Comp.
@Deplorable Whiteman my neck of the woods is at fort Umpqua in Elkton Oregon. Although, I have spent some time at fort clatsop.
@Deplorable Whiteman fort Umpqua days are coming labor day weekend. I am a member of the fort Umpqua muzzleloaders. Until then I bid you adoo good sir.
Beavers lives matter that’s a good one. Nice flask at the end
Thanks. B-day present
All I know is there weren’t many brands of deeoderant back then. You could smell wild jack a mile away.
Yeah.
Another great video santee ever considered doing one on the Ferguson rifle or the Springfield trapdoor
Oh yeah. It'll happen.
A good example of this is when Jonah Hex met a Mountain man in Weird Western #38
I'll have to look. Thanks.
Oooh! I wanna win that 'brand thing!' I will never again lose my wife and children to rustlers!!
HA!
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my Uncles saw the movie "Sourdough" and became infatuated with "The Mountain Man." He went out and bought a ridiculously expensive set of buckskins and a Hawken rifle. People started referring to his outfit as "Sunday, go to meetin' buckskins" and he was just too light to handle that mule-kick from the rifle if it's really loaded for bear. He also bought a $300 Bowie knife which he ended up using in the kitchen... He started many a lively conversation though.
I bet. Sounds like he dove in head first. Good man.
Do one on snakes in the old west
I thought they were on a plane? No? Ok.
Maybe
I still dress that way.
Awesome!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I even have the beard. I look like a member of ZZ top.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I couldn't get to the other comment. The combustible engine and electrically changed the world as it was known.
Must attract super models or women who have decent earning jobs.
@@imhigh0013 I've dated several super models, but then I always wake up.
What I would have given to have spent a year with a mountain-man learning from them in my youth.
No chance of it now...
Learning some of it would be cool.
Detman101 you and me both
Greetings Detman 101 from the Shadetree Survivalists. Would have loved to have learned from a mountain man my self.
Yes l have a kit gun of the 50 cal. HAWKINS rifle, percussion type that my late brother and l built when we were teenagers, l also have a fur cap, buffalo fur coat, Hudson Bay blanket, the proper shirt, and pants. My shoes are moccasins and l also have 3 horses, traps, knife and a medicine bag. My pipe is an elaborate tomahawk pipe with beads and fur lining. In Alaska our annual Mountian Men Event cancelled due to the pandemic. One of my favorite movies is titled Mountain Men starring Brian Keith and Charston Heston, currently in my large movie collection. A great movie with a good story line and great views.
Nice bunch of stuff you got!
Love the video! I’d like to see a profile on the Dalton Gang.
Did one.
Arizona Ghostriders really? Wow well I’m just a big dummy. Thank you
I know what you're saying about the heat. Got all the way up to the mid eighties today in Flagstaff. Ghastly. ;)
Wow. mid-80s, eh? AMATEUR! ;)
I like videos like these.. My time period :) I wish I could have rendez-vous around here in canada.
Glad you like them! You mean they don't?? Canada was a huge fur trapping area
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'm sure in Alberta or bc they do. Not where I am, sadly
Can't believe you made a mountain man video and didn't include at least one clip of Leonardo getting slapped around by the bear lol
I've included that clip in other videos....and likely next week's video. Not need for overkill.
Love it.
-One old mtn woman.
Cool!
If one needs good current examples of the fur trappers, you need look no further than full members of The American Mountain Men (AMM). Education, as well as research, is a huge part of their mission. A contingent can be found representing at Ft. Bridger and various events throughout the country.
Local events and "rendezvous" may not have AMM in attendance, but "buckskinners". Always well intentioned, occasionally very accurate, but usually fancifully attired in a "close" manner. Great folks, even if not 100% accurate all the time.
I think we see that in all manner of reenactment. Some go fancier in their attire and put clothes together that wouldn't really be together in practicality.
When the mountain men arrived following 6 months in the mountains, the only thing Slim Pickins could say was, "We got wind of it."
heheh
GHOSTRIDERS - Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. Moved to AZ about six years ago and as a history geek, I immediately started looking into the regional...history. Fort Whipple, Whiskey Row, the Earps, Doc Holiday & Big Nose Kate, all right here in Prescott! AZ Ghostriders offer solid history plus those obscure bits of information that make it come alive. I've watched about 30 or so of your installments, all good stuff! Thanks! - Doc Frederickson PS - Have you done a piece on Bloody Basin or Horsethief Canyon up here in Yavapai Cty?
Doc, thanks much. I've mentioned their names driving through the area. I call the area "Stagecoach Holdup Central" because in a ten year period about 100 holdups occured in that stretch to Prescott.
Hey Santee
Can you make a video about the Irish in the Old West? Famous outlaws or laymen and the like. Even reading this is much appreciated hello from a fan from Ireland.
M Curran
I can! Welcome, me Irish friend.
I've been to these rendevouz they have them twice a year here in Kentucky. You can get some pretty cool handmade knives and items
made of horn Etc. At these rendevouz people always wear handmade period clothing.
Thanks for the info
the Astor family fortune was made due to the fur trade, and there’s still a company in existence that all but monopolized the trade until the US overtook them: Hudson’s Bay Company, now a department store chain in Canada
🤠
Happy Sunday my friend. Thinking about I can't remember seeing any videos with you riding a horse. Have you ridden any? Have a blessed day
I have. Many. One day I'm sure we'll get some footage of me falling...er...riding on a horse.
@@ArizonaGhostriders i would love to see you ... riding that is 😉😉😉😊😊😊
Good stuff ..love the mountain man stuff .. I have my own registered brand might sent it in
Awesome thank you!
