And they lost what they found to a superior group or groups of people...get over it.

      Unlike in the 1800's there was no fire bans so the scene with the propane tank had to be used for cooking. Later in the video there was no propane anything. The fires were started with flint and steel in snowy conditions. I know some of these men and I am a member of the AMM. Unlike the modern campers who would likely not last very long in the mountains the Mountain men of the AMM would.

      Dude they were weeks traveling west of Missouri for crying out loud. Where were they going to find pure refined saltpeter and sulfer, much less willow charcoal. They were to busy trying to stay alive and trap & trying not to get scalped or freeze to death or starve.

      Denis Degamon if they had sense they would have a keg of powder to refill their horns, maybe a couple kegs of gunpowder if it would be over a year or two before they went to a rondy again

      Winter is raining season and not all of Florida is tropical. It is a stereotype. I live in a near state and we share the same weather as them. You will have days where it is good idea to have some warm clothing on days where you experience cold rain
