The Trail: Surviving 30 Days in the Montana Wilderness | Complete Series | Survival Show

[@dennis350]

I did the same exact thing in the early 70'2 after Nam, had the same horse problem, and had a mule with me also. I did the Pacific NW trail, the first time I tried but failed, and planned wrong.The following year completed it.... praise God. Yes, I came back a different person...after the war,I need that, changed me for the better. Semper- Fi.

Friend of mine, his father went into the blue mountains In Oregon for a few years after Vietnam. Luckily for him, he grew up packing into those mountains. So it was second nature to him. He still rides into our elk camp every year. Guy is a legend. Im sure it was insane back in those days. What a life you lead Dennis!

First time I found your story and what a great story it is. These are things I dreamed of as a young boy. I have been on several adventures in my 74 years of life but never anything of this caliber. 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.

[@nickolaspurcell948]

@Iamthealchemist247you think the early 49’s, gold claiming mountain men DIDN’T bring a horse with them!? Really? I’m truly puzzled at your comment. They all most certainly brought a horse with them. Come on now.

[@stackfire9601]

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.

[@ernest7015]

I agree

[@fayekimball3538]

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.❤

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

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.

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.

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🌹

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.
