Mountain, a very accurate assessment . It is reality tv. I wish the producers would take some of the BS drama out, but it’s a business. One of my favorite episodes is where Tom goes out and cuts wild rose stems to make arrows. I learned a few things from all the actors. Another show I like is Counting Cars. A lot of talent their but you have to tolerate the BS the producers put in. It is what it is.

Very little “real” in reality tv.

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/BEb7cn6l.jpg) I think this guy is the real deal . Met him at the Lewiston Id. gun show a few months ago. Fun to talk to . Have seen him on other hunting shows besides Mt. Men .

The portions with Mike[?]^^^ and Marty I enjoy, mainly due to interest in what they do, the rest-not so much!

Last episode of one of those shows they look like they're getting ready to replace old Tom with another guy playing a trapper that's a groid.

I watched the show off and on the first couple seasons. Trapper Tom and Pilot Marty 'seemed' most 'real' and believable. The rest not so much, I lost interest in the show after that.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

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. Preston was very sharp but I could never stand whiny Eustice, when Preston passed and I now fast forwarded past the Turtle Island portion of the show! Tom Orr is great, Rich was good and when Marty was on he was good, I was glad to see he is back on the new show "Mountain Men: Alaska"

I’ve always thought that Eustice was a bit creepy!! “Conway” is a fitting name for him, he’s been a conman most of his life.

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? Yes, I know them. I met them in 1985. And yes, they are nice people, along with everyone else from that area.
