It's for young, hearty men, with moustaches and boots.
If it gets down to that again, I'm NOT going to be polite to anybody.
Mountain man is cool to have on the resume, and the skillsets are good to have... actually having to do it? Oh dear Lord.
An adventure is someone you don't know having a miserable time a long way away.

Sounds like fun. I fit all of the above, except I don't have a 'stache. I reckon I'm pretty hearty as well, but how can you really know that you are unless you go through something like that.
Its on my bucket list.
“An adventure is someone you don’t know having a miserable time a long way away.”
You know, I hated camping the few times I was forced into it in my earlier life. I always said why should I go out in the woods and be hot and miserable and mosquito bait (they love me), when I have a perfectly comfortable house? I quit being forced into it - I wouldn’t go.
I know some of you love doing that, but count me out. In my preps I made sure I had battery fans and other preps so I could be as comfortable as possible - in my house.
Go ahead and hit on me for not loving the great (miserable) outdoors - I don’t care.
My brother did the wilderness thing in a group.
No showers, no latrine, no tent. Sleeping under green foliage and sharing the jungle with a thousand NVA.
When they ran out of NVA a helicopter picked them up and moved them to a different part of the jungle where there were more NVA. They had green boots.
Never saw a tent for 6 months.
Yup, there’s a reason we don’t live that way.
LOL! Well put!
By the way, which do you find more useful in daily life:
- the mountain man skill sets themselves, or
- the self-confidence and mental attitude created by having them?
