Of all the people and roles in the West I’ve always found the mountain men the most interesting

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

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.

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!

You the man Santee! Another entertaining piece of history.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.
