Mountain Man Triathlon | Fire Lighting Challenge: Impossible?

In this video, we take a trip to Coal Creek for a good, old-fashioned "Mountain Man" competition. Competitors participate in the course of fire using their flintlocks and tomahawks, but intermixed are mountain man survival challenges like setting a trap, starting a fire, and casting ball.
Competitors are timed and their hits are scored to decide who goes home a winner.
In all seriousness, this is a friendly competition and an in-depth look at a classic muzzleloading match, lovingly called "The Mountain Man". Unlike a regular "stand and shoot" competition, mountain man competitions test your accuracy, endurance, and strength all at once.
Fire kits will be soaked, fingers will be pinched, beards will be singed.
