Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anybody watch the Mountain Men show?

Just discovered this series and love it . My favorite person is the guy that lives on Turtle Island. Basic skills that most people have lost. It sorta takes me back in time.

Yeah...sure thing sock.

No, where do you watch it?

It has been on the History Channel for years. Eustice Conway, the guy that owns Turtle Island, runs a summer camp for kids. It is a quality experience I’m told. The kids get exposed to a lot of different skills, and they get to put them to use. I have always enjoyed the show.

It’s on the history channel originally . I watch it on a Samsung tv that gets its stations from our internet cable service so I’m told. I’m not a tech guy. If you have not seen it, maybe someone here can tell you. If you like the outdoors , you will love it. Enjoy !! Alan

He is by far my least favorite. Give me old Tom Ohr, the trapper from MT anyday. I can't keep those shows straight but if that is the one with Marty Mariono from AK on it then he ties for first.

Useless Conway?
Seems to be in a self made problem all the time.

Marty and Tom had their business in order

Real life tv. Really. Actual stuff happening. Real adventures. Totally honest situations where the men's lives are in peril. Eustace has to get his Kale crop in or he won't survive the winter. Marty is probably the most honest character on the show. Watched one season. Like most history channel series, pure bullscheidt. Pawn Stars. Moonshiners. Amish Mafia.
Pass from now on.
Watch one show from each new series, put it away.

Gayr n aids.

I like the other guys too. I like where Marty teaches his young daughter to skin animals. The turtle island guy is sometimes a bit too much, but I like the looks of the area he lives in. Other places too cold for me.

The Useless episodes are nothing more than a poor soap opera. The rest have "some" relevance. Better than watching the 28 minutes of commercials & whispering, plus 1 minute of shooting, hunting vids.

they're is a lot worse on TV... but i have to agree, I could do without that Usetiss feller...

I like the one old guy in Montana and his wife. I don’t care that they aren’t living in an igloo and they drive a truck, I just like the fact that they are living in a way that THEY like and one that is a nice contrast to all the city-based crap.

They are pretty nice people. I think you are talking about Tom and Nancy.

Yes. I forgot his name but that’s the couple. I’ve always liked him, the loving way that he and his brother interact and…well…pretty much everything I’ve seen from them I’ve respected. The guys that go up to visit or help him all seem like decent people just helping a friend and neighbor.

I’m not surprised that he’s a nice guy. Do you know them well?

The guy that worked with Eustice had more talent be he died. Tom Orr is a talented guy, made bows, arrows and such in the ways of the Indian era. I did not care that much about Rich who always had problems with his Jeep and dogs. But like with anything, just take what you like and leave the rest. I watched it also for the scenery . Never been back east.

Eustice, Hate that guy, moans about his bills. taxes and such. If he would just pay them on time, like the rest of us?! Gets stupid young kids to pay to work for him. Smart, and he has an unending supply of them. I do hate that guy!

I've watched it since it first aired. Marty was always my favorite, and then Tom. I also liked the first lion hunter, Rich, and can't stand the fool that took his place as the resident houndsman. Eustace is joke, and so is anyone else who falls for the story that he can go cut a few trees down, saw them up, and then go buy whatever he wants. The whole thing is scripted for an audience that for the most part, know absolutely nothing about the outdoor life.

BTW, Marty is on again in the new Mountain Man Alaska show. I've been watching it, and fast forwarding through the goobers that I don't care to watch, which is just about everyone else.

All these shows have continuously manufactured crisis.
