Yep, KBoges also uses that term. He's a guy that preaches 3 calisthenic movements daily. Obviously you can do other activities but the idea is to move a bit everyday, not annhilate yourself 3x a week and doing nothing rest of the week.
I had a great great great grandfather that was an army scout. He served under Custer (luckily not in battle), explored Yellowstone, and claimed he once resorted to eating boot leather. He fell asleep rocking his baby grandson and never woke up. Those people were a different breed.
Very true . I hardly lift weights , born in raised in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina. My buddy’s who lift on a daily basis, went hiking with me a few times . Let’s just say they wanted to take breaks and rest while I kept pushing . Taught many of my friends how to forage medicinal plants , Cohosh , Ginseng , mushrooms , how to fish , how to hunt and many other things .. still to this day , the place I feel free the most , is deep in the woods where most do not roam …
Well, someone who lifts weights and weighs a lot more than you isn't going to have better cardio than someone who hikes and is slim. They're completely separate forms of exercise
@@Alex-eo9of why cardio is very important. It allows you to push yourself to further limits . Age is what’s starting to get to me . Doing physical hard labor climbing trees for 20 plus years has worn me down . Now I won’t use 2-3 ppl to move a log , I’ll use a machine .
Good stuff, mountainmen were incredibly tough! Don't be misled into thinking they lived long lives though, many mountainmen died after just a few years in the wilderness. The few who survived into old age only did so because they "retired" from the harsher lifestyles on the frontier and settled along the trails they helped make.
@@kostaverle3551 theres tons of books on Mountain Men. I would suggest starting with Jim Beckwourths autobiography and Jim Bridgers biography written by Stanley Vestal
Yes, turns out, humans evolved to live in tribes around other people that help each other. As much as I like to dream of it too, going off to live in the wilderness alone is a death wish. No matter how strong you may be.
I have an uncle I never heard much about because he was so much older than my mom. He lives on like 80 acres of land and works on it daily. All of his younger siblings have passed and he is still out there in his 90s living alone and working on his land daily.
Dig your stuff! I used to live in Ak and hiking and hunting and fishing was a true testament to one’s discipline and fitness. Bear country is almost impossible to penetrate and you often hunt on game trails! Hence your being hunted whilst hunting. You quickly to backtrack yourself and I have never forgotten my tracking skill since then. And you realize how powerful bears moose and nature really is. You cannot be strong enough mentally and physically! Ancients were really bad ass! They hunted analog style self made simple weapons and a level of tenacity to match their prey!
Yeah, until you notice they be eating a lot of dried or smoked fish, salted meats, and shitty produce which is over ripe at best and expired/rotten at worst. Not to mention water sources, god forbid you don't have a spring for drinking water because you would have to boil your water, close to the mountains or not
Those guys lived in cities/ villages near the mountains. Dagestanis aren't special. They just come from conflic zones where combat sports are cultural. Mountain men livev of the land.
Physical hygiene - not being useless by sipping sodas on the couch but also not being useless by becoming exceptional in 1 area of fitness - an all rounder

You have to be strong physically because again your on your own in those environments so you better be fast strong and ready for anything that comes your way
Who hasn't watched Jeremiah Johnson a dozen times? That movie was responsible for making every man that saw it wasn't to leave society and live off the land... At least in our dreams. My "physical hygiene" is the worst it's ever been been in my life. I need to get it cleaned up...
I like this I feel like I do that without realizing it I love hiking around my property and it's cool because I started packing rocks to gradually make it harder for myself and it's rewarding.
I believe you. There is tons of research now on how being in wild places does a ton for your mental health. The Japanese have a lot of research on it as well and it has become popular to go out in nature. They call it forest bathing! Hehe but seriously it helps.
The very nature of their work and lifestyle was traininng in itself. They understood modernity and civilization as well as anyone, compared to how they've been often portrayed. However, if they witnessed how men are virtually forced to live today, they would be appalled, and wonder how and why we tolerate it.
Tough environments build tough men or you die, especially when travelling alone into a wilderness. You don't need to imagine that they were strong, but to hear a man used dumbbells & other equipment to build his Physical😂Hygiene is mind boggling to me. Put that Mountain man on a Poster gym owners as you'd struggle to get a tougher version of manhood to help bring in new clientele 🏔️🧍
This is also where is sleep hygiene originates and make no mistake when you work as hard as these guys do every minute of sleep and quality of sleep are extremely vital to survival
My father would take me and my brother into the mountains in Missouri and just live n survive for a month sometimes in the summer sometimes in the winter, we would stay in the run down house my great grandfather build that had just openings as "windows" so we'd were able to shoot any animal we could see from there but occasionally have to climb up some to find something to eat if we didn't see anything for the first day or two. My brother hated it but I loved it always felt a connection to the land
My whole family is mountain people. We're not big or anything compared to most people, but I can usually lift quite a bit more than my coworkers for longer periods, despite weighing the same or less. Its just a matter of being in shape while most people don't do anything outside of their 9-5
I dig up rocks and throw them in a pile to build rock walls. I throw them underhand, overhead, discus, etc. to get strong every which way. At 68 I'm like a skinned mountain lion and ear about the same.
@@aceambling7685 ...First, I'm referring to the word dumbbell. Second ... Mountain men were from the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 through to the 1880s (with a peak population in the early 1840s).

Damn i read Beckwourths autobiography, Bridgers biography, various letters from mountain men at the time, Carsons biography. Never heard mention of training. How much physical training would you really need if your entire life consisted of backbreaking labor?
I imagine most of them just worked .my pa would always just say if I wanted to work out there’s plenty of work to do around the propert and fr unloading hay bales /fence digging / shoveling etc is a better workout than most
Absolutely amazing way of putting it. My grandfathers grandfather (Don Antonio, whom he was named after) In Cuba was a farmer or in Cuban slang “Guajiro.” One day Don Antonio was helping his cousin cross a river who was on a horse. However, the horse got scared and wouldn’t cross. So, Don Antonio just lifted the horse with his cousin on top across. Multiple people saw this because apparently it happened frequently 😂
I like this guy!! I’m from the Ohio side of Appalachia and been here all my life and there is a certain something about all of us here..even though we lost a lot the old ways you don’t go Messing around with us especially the old dudes..we survive everything!! I know 70 year old man that could take a few mma fighter due to sheer mountain crazy!!lol
My ancestors were mountain men. They were some of the first european travelers to make it to the west coast. My great grandfather was born in redwood valley in mendocino county. He was a huge man and the bare fist boxing champion of the region. People called him Mack.
No, Spain & Russia were on the west coast decades before these mountain men showed up. And…Indigenous tribes were thriving on the west coast thousands of years before. And the indigenous tribes faced predators like saber tooth tigers, American lions, dire wolves and short-faced bears. Stop glamorizing the short-lived “mountain man” era, an era that depended heavily on Indigenous to survive at all.
@jorgeamaya7783 are you from where I'm from? Do you know my family? What do you know about what English call pomo? What do you know about a world where plants and animals are people? I don't glamorize the suffering and I don't fetishize native people. We are one. What do you know about the two row wampum? What do you know about the fur trade? What do you know about the missions? I am from there. I know my story. How coyote created the world. The nature of true love. Only if you are looking will it find you. so step out into the light. The nourisher, the watchful, the hidden. Wherever you find yourself in the story it all goes back to the same place. I am from a world with no suffering. You are from a world with no suffering. We are from a world with no suffering. We are here to end suffering for all living things.
Real men yes, but that was their reality & this is ours now. If they had our technology do you think they would of used it, of course they would of. So by your reckoning that makes them stupider than us because they didn't have our knowledge. Stupid people always looking backwards for the best in us when that will be hopefully in the near future. Stupid Americans saying the WW 2 vets are the best of any era, what about those in your battle for independence, Civil war & the wars of today? There has always been Great & not so great in every era including ours.
According to HistoryNet, the average life expectancy of a mountain man was 64 years, which is higher than the national average of 40 years at the time. This calculation was based on 233 trappers whose birth and death dates were known, and more than half of them died from old age or related physical illnesses.
@@patrickcovault2280that’s what I thought too. But I’m assuming he meant 7 years from the age of maturity so maybe 7 years after he went off on his own at 18. But most mountain men probably went off on their own much younger than that, if they weren’t raised that way. 7 years old would just barely be old enough to hold a bow or rifle. Barely old enough plow the field.
A couple of guys from my gun club that were really into cowboy action shooting and mountain Man lifestyle died and I helped clean out their homes for their wives. Instead of bringing the guns to a gun shop and getting 10% of what they're worth, we found buyers from all the big ticket items. Surprisingly, they all had gay cowboy cartoon books from the '70s and '80s. They were actually worth quite a bit on eBay. I just imagine one of those old guys dying in the hospital praying that his wife doesn't find his stash of gay cowboy books. I got you Ara.
Yeah, dumbbells & other training equipment one mountain man, if not more used was a big surprise to read. I figured the life itself would be enough to build them up & obviously did, but to actually train for that life to me is absolutely fantastic. The word of mouth from mountain men who came before would of been a source of information to what to expect & prepare for l suppose.
Indigenous to where? If talking about mountain men in the Americas,some did interacted with natives. But they didn't learn it from the americanoids. Literally every country has their own mountain men.

Ya. The fringe on native outfits was eaten in dire straights for survival and other purposes.
I've heard stories like that about buccaneers. The boots and belts were actual leather. So it was no different than eating pig skin.
That is so badass. I don't know my ancestors well, but they we're natives. Maybe they might have crossed paths at one point.

I love the name “Physical hygiene” indeed it is 💯
Dumbells?!? No one is wasting calories on the mountain...
There were gyms in the forest for that exact reason. They were the earliest gyms.
😂
Call it a jungle gym 😂😂
Call it a jungle gym 😂😂
These are real men unlike today!
"Because I am alone, I shall"
My God that was brilliant
Today's people lack both physical and mental hygiene.😕
I'm so intrigued, I want to learn more now.
WT Hamilton also used to work out at Gold's in the off-season
You have to be strong physically because again your on your own in those environments so you better be fast strong and ready for anything that comes your way
Who hasn't watched Jeremiah Johnson a dozen times? That movie was responsible for making every man that saw it wasn't to leave society and live off the land... At least in our dreams.
My "physical hygiene" is the worst it's ever been been in my life. I need to get it cleaned up...
"Skin that'n pilgrim and I'm getting ye anothern!" 😂
Woah, that regarding physical health to "physical hygiene" was and (still) is pretty rad.
Love the music, the Gael from the chase scene in The Last of the Mohicans.....
Oh God physical hygiene i almost forgot about the good ol phrase 😄
Fascinating 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Do something about french-canadian Voyageurs, or Woodrunners. Though dudes.
I like this I feel like I do that without realizing it I love hiking around my property and it's cool because I started packing rocks to gradually make it harder for myself and it's rewarding.
A mountain is the only place I feel at peace
Well jesse l have a mountain for sale 🏔️ great price, trust me 😁
I got ocean front property also
I believe you. There is tons of research now on how being in wild places does a ton for your mental health. The Japanese have a lot of research on it as well and it has become popular to go out in nature. They call it forest bathing! Hehe but seriously it helps.

Excellent!
The very nature of their work and lifestyle was traininng in itself. They understood modernity and civilization as well as anyone, compared to how they've been often portrayed. However, if they witnessed how men are virtually forced to live today, they would be appalled, and wonder how and why we tolerate it.
Jeremiah Johnson quickly comes mind when I hear the term “Mountain Man.” ☝🏿💯⚡️🇭🇹
Tough environments build tough men or you die, especially when travelling alone into a wilderness. You don't need to imagine that they were strong, but to hear a man used dumbbells & other equipment to build his Physical😂Hygiene is mind boggling to me. Put that Mountain man on a Poster gym owners as you'd struggle to get a tougher version of manhood to help bring in new clientele 🏔️🧍
Good work brother

I knew a mountain man from Arkansas. Dude was the toughest guy ever. And never said a word too much.
This deserves 1000000000* more likes
This is also where is sleep hygiene originates and make no mistake when you work as hard as these guys do every minute of sleep and quality of sleep are extremely vital to survival
Too bad Hollyweird won't make a movie about W.T. Hamilton! It would be awesome!
My father would take me and my brother into the mountains in Missouri and just live n survive for a month sometimes in the summer sometimes in the winter, we would stay in the run down house my great grandfather build that had just openings as "windows" so we'd were able to shoot any animal we could see from there but occasionally have to climb up some to find something to eat if we didn't see anything for the first day or two. My brother hated it but I loved it always felt a connection to the land
Where did you get the info about his training to stay in shape?. I can't find what you mentioned. Thank you
My whole family is mountain people. We're not big or anything compared to most people, but I can usually lift quite a bit more than my coworkers for longer periods, despite weighing the same or less. Its just a matter of being in shape while most people don't do anything outside of their 9-5
I want to be a mountain man
Physical hygiene this way of mentioning it is amazing I will use it from now on
Not a lot of " dumbbells " in the Rocky Mountains around 1810 ...
I dig up rocks and throw them in a pile to build rock walls. I throw them underhand, overhead, discus, etc. to get strong every which way. At 68 I'm like a skinned mountain lion and ear about the same.
First generation mountain Men were not born and raised in the Rockies.
@@aceambling7685 ...First, I'm referring to the word dumbbell.
Second ... Mountain men were from the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 through to the 1880s (with a peak population in the early 1840s).
@@ronaldbeck1762 did you miss the first generation part? Do you think Europeans are native to the Rocky Mountains?
@@aceambling7685 ... The mountain man are the pioneers of the North American Rocky Mountain West who went to that region first as fur trappers.
That is not me saying that ... just look it up.
First you had my attention. Now you have my curiosity. I would like to posses the physical prowess of a mountain man!
Damn i read Beckwourths autobiography, Bridgers biography, various letters from mountain men at the time, Carsons biography. Never heard mention of training. How much physical training would you really need if your entire life consisted of backbreaking labor?
So much respect for people who actually grapple with the brunt of nature's heaviness.
No need for power training if you carry logs at forest.
Thank you for that terminology
Most didn't train per se. They just lived very physical lives
You earned a new sub
I imagine most of them just worked .my pa would always just say if I wanted to work out there’s plenty of work to do around the propert and fr unloading hay bales /fence digging / shoveling etc is a better workout than most
Yep
Absolutely amazing way of putting it. My grandfathers grandfather (Don Antonio, whom he was named after) In Cuba was a farmer or in Cuban slang “Guajiro.”
One day Don Antonio was helping his cousin cross a river who was on a horse. However, the horse got scared and wouldn’t cross. So, Don Antonio just lifted the horse with his cousin on top across. Multiple people saw this because apparently it happened frequently 😂
Where is the best place in USA for wild hunting?
Id reckon the north has bigger game but you can hunt anywhere
Alaska ???? That’s the most natural environment. Probably the most dangerous for sure. Just my opinion.

I like this guy!! I’m from the Ohio side of Appalachia and been here all my life and there is a certain something about all of us here..even though we lost a lot the old ways you don’t go Messing around with us especially the old dudes..we survive everything!! I know 70 year old man that could take a few mma fighter due to sheer mountain crazy!!lol
My ancestors were mountain men. They were some of the first european travelers to make it to the west coast. My great grandfather was born in redwood valley in mendocino county. He was a huge man and the bare fist boxing champion of the region. People called him Mack.
No, Spain & Russia were on the west coast decades before these mountain men showed up. And…Indigenous tribes were thriving on the west coast thousands of years before. And the indigenous tribes faced predators like saber tooth tigers, American lions, dire wolves and short-faced bears. Stop glamorizing the short-lived “mountain man” era, an era that depended heavily on Indigenous to survive at all.
@jorgeamaya7783 are you from where I'm from? Do you know my family? What do you know about what English call pomo? What do you know about a world where plants and animals are people? I don't glamorize the suffering and I don't fetishize native people. We are one. What do you know about the two row wampum? What do you know about the fur trade? What do you know about the missions? I am from there. I know my story. How coyote created the world.
The nature of true love. Only if you are looking will it find you. so step out into the light. The nourisher, the watchful, the hidden.
Wherever you find yourself in the story it all goes back to the same place.
I am from a world with no suffering. You are from a world with no suffering. We are from a world with no suffering. We are here to end suffering for all living things.
When survival is a daily task, being at your very best fitness is a must in your daily activities.
Also their diet had to have been top notch as well
And not one phone grocery store or air conditioning insight, just a man and the wild🤘🏻
Real men.
Real men yes, but that was their reality & this is ours now. If they had our technology do you think they would of used it, of course they would of. So by your reckoning that makes them stupider than us because they didn't have our knowledge. Stupid people always looking backwards for the best in us when that will be hopefully in the near future. Stupid Americans saying the WW 2 vets are the best of any era, what about those in your battle for independence, Civil war & the wars of today? There has always been Great & not so great in every era including ours.
Mt man here watching 👍👍

@@Jerrylance-ty1re bullshit
Billshit mountain men lived a average of seven years it was so harsh
But it wasn't heart attacks or sedentary living that killed them. It was more the elements and hostile tribes.
And they didnt "train" either they picked up their skills as they went and the physical demands of the lifestyle were all the "training" they needed
According to HistoryNet, the average life expectancy of a mountain man was 64 years, which is higher than the national average of 40 years at the time. This calculation was based on 233 trappers whose birth and death dates were known, and more than half of them died from old age or related physical illnesses.
Where did you get that SILLY, SILLY number of "7"!
@@patrickcovault2280that’s what I thought too. But I’m assuming he meant 7 years from the age of maturity so maybe 7 years after he went off on his own at 18. But most mountain men probably went off on their own much younger than that, if they weren’t raised that way. 7 years old would just barely be old enough to hold a bow or rifle. Barely old enough plow the field.
This is my dream, I’ve always wanted to become a mountain man. I don’t mind working for survival every day of my life.
A couple of guys from my gun club that were really into cowboy action shooting and mountain Man lifestyle died and I helped clean out their homes for their wives. Instead of bringing the guns to a gun shop and getting 10% of what they're worth, we found buyers from all the big ticket items. Surprisingly, they all had gay cowboy cartoon books from the '70s and '80s. They were actually worth quite a bit on eBay. I just imagine one of those old guys dying in the hospital praying that his wife doesn't find his stash of gay cowboy books. I got you Ara.
Lmao

Physical hygiene such a cool take on looking after yourself they were built different an all together different breed.
Sir were do you find your information?
Your videos have informations I never stumbeld across.
Yeah, dumbbells & other training equipment one mountain man, if not more used was a big surprise to read. I figured the life itself would be enough to build them up & obviously did, but to actually train for that life to me is absolutely fantastic. The word of mouth from mountain men who came before would of been a source of information to what to expect & prepare for l suppose.
Physical Hygiene is inspiring
They learned it from the indegonous people.
Some of it they did.
Indigenous to where? If talking about mountain men in the Americas,some did interacted with natives. But they didn't learn it from the americanoids. Literally every country has their own mountain men.
Boxing and dumbbells? What tribe taught that?
The Pecsapumpin or the Bi'snTri's?
@@redclayscholar620 they learned it from the Quaddoman Empire
