Mountain man TV show

[WhiteOak]

I liked the show many years ago when I was pretty green as far as hunting and whatnot goes. I haven't seen the show in probably 4 or more years after cutting cable and just started watching it again on Amazon after seeing this thread. I still enjoy it and my wife will actually watch this one. She loves that guy Tom, and he is pretty damn cool. I think Marty is a beast. I can get past the production of the show and just enjoy/be jealous that these people get to live like that if only for the sake of the show.

One of my best friends is currently on the show. He's a great guy and a solid hunter all around, but the show is definitely staged at times. I think the target audience is mainly big city people, and most of them don't know any better.

There is no doubt Marty is a beast. I watched him build that cabin by himself. There's no taking that. He's tough.

I think Tom bought 10 acres in a mountain ponderosa setting and skins deer because he's bored. He's cool though.

Rich the lion hunter is obviously in good shape and tough as nails. If he thinks treeing a lion and not killing it will run it out of the country, well I dont think so. That thing beats him back to the baby calves.

Kyle in new mexico is pretty cool. He makes me want to throw up with as many preventable wrecks he has with his horses.

I haven't gotten past season 4 yet. Dont spoil it for me. I just downed some fried deer meat and I think I may lay on the couch like a fatty and live vicariously through my brothers on TV and try not to think about the wall tents with generators and propane stoves in the background and the pack train that took Marty his engine. He carried the thing I saw it!

Yep I have a friend that lives up there . Not all is as it seems

Tom was a nice guy to guide. But when my fellow guide buddy tried for 7 days for him to kill a cow that he shot with a 30/06
.. then re-inacted it with a muzzleloader... then trying to pack it out on stock that was later re-inacted with pillows in the panniers and got a ride out on the side by side that was driven right to the animal.. then to top it off him or the production crew didn't even leave a tip... meh

Some interesting stuff but you can believe everything you see

I don't know the answer to the question but I survived one night well below zero with two military arctic sleeping bags one stuffed in the other laying on some cedar foliage I laid on the ground. I was basically laying ON the campfire. Wasn't a comfortable night. The guys I was with had huge canvas bedrolls and they slept like babies. Never again with those crappy military bags.

I remember when the mss sleep bags were getting all kinds of great reviews on utube and now almost everyone agrees that they suck for any real cold temps. The bivy bags were the best part of that system but for anything under freezing the sleeping bag part of the system sucks. I slept in one at 40 degrees in the open and a t storm rolled thru..stayed nice-n-dry.

That would be Eustace Conway, i saw on facebook alot of people that lives near him calls him "useless conway" lol, I have no clue the real truth

I don't know him, never met him, and to my knowledge don't know anyone that does know him. With that said, I live in the same county as him, 15+/- miles away from his preserve. It's not remote at all, there are some areas in the Pisgah NF that you can get away from people, but it's still not 'back country'. There are 55,000ish people in the county, not including a University with over 17,000 students and a huge amount of tourists from Florida and north east who spend their summers and winters here. His land is 5 miles from all of this, he could walk to a grocery store within an hour ... Made for TV, about the only reality is that we are in the mountains.
