Even in today’s modern world, some people feel more at home in the mountains than in society. They want to live on the trail, hunt, and survive in the wild. These men call themselves “The Mountain Men”. They try to live exactly as the original Mountain Men did between 1804 and 1840.
This book is the result of four-year documentation of the cold winters in North America through the heat and drought in middle America. It is containing 240 pages, high-quality images, historical narratives, and captions that take the reader on a historical journey.
