New season of Mountain Men!

Can't wait for this to start back up Sunday. I love this show.

I've read everything I can get my hands on about the mountain men.  Fascinating time period and bunch of men. Watch the movie everytime I can catch it on tv.  I didn't know there was a seasonal show though.  I'll be catching that one and recording....thanks!

The one about useless conway and those other two? No thanks....

Its not about real fur trade era Mountain Men. Its about 3 guys who live in the backwoods and call themselves Mountain Men. One is Eustace Conway. He talks about how poor he is, but he teachs a 3 hour spoon carving class thats $150. A one day blacksmithing class is also outrageously priced. He is a fraud of the highest order, as well as having been accused of animal curelty several times by former students. One more famous story included pictures of a horse tied close to water that hung itself after days of thirst trying to reach water. It is the typical over dramatized bullshit that seems to populate TV nowadays. That show in particular rubs me the wrong way because I was raised that way so I notice every little detail that is wrong.

These days there only a very few shows I can stand to watch. This happens to be one of them even though I'd rather it be about more hardcore guys such as the real ones back in the old days. That being said, I didn't know all of the stuff you mentioned Spots, and can definitely understand why you wouldn't like it since you were raised in that lifestyle. It would be hard to watch it for me too if I noticed all kinds of things that were wrong. I love the scenery probably more than anything. I'm ready for deer season to roll around so the good shows will be on again!
