recommend me a good outdoorsy film

[locum76]

Some one really has to add 'Danny, Champion of the world' and 'Kes' to this list.

Not a movie as such, and not new to this forum, but Lars Monsen's Nordkalotten series is available on YouTube with English subtitles thanks to the excellent channel set up by Opoi0 :You_Rock_

Just been watching them again myself. Really great Bushcrafty TV. Lars is the real deal, a real tough nut, and now I understand them, I love the whole ethos of these films.

For feature film suggestions, bearing in mind your first post, I'd second 'Last of the Mohicans'.

the last of the mohikans is a good movie

...they show the US marines taking and capturing the enigma machine but if you read history it was decoded and caught by the english navy and decoded by british secret intelligance...

drew

Enigma was first decoded by team of Polish cryptologists, mainly Mariana Rejewskiego, Jerzego Różyckiego i Henryka Zygalskiego in 1932, allowing for further work on decoding ciphers of continuously modernized Enigma machines first in Poland and after the outbreak of war in France and the UK.

Try Atanjaruat (the fast runner) for a good look at how the inuit go about their lives in the far north.

PS Just come back from the British Museum where they've got some brilliant exhibits of inuit clothing and tools

How could I forget! The last Trapper, docu-film about a real trapper in Yukon: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395514/. 100% bushy including birch bark canoe, building a log home, trapping, survival etc. etc. A must see.

what about Cast away, including bushcraft dental surgery

Shockingly depressing :togo:

I've read the book. Depressing but in the relation between the two the most fundamental message of hope. One of the most impressive books I've read.

A perfect getaway is a good one too. With a nice twist and some blood at the end.

 

[Oblio13]

Ten Canoes.

PS. Don't ask the bear

Nice documentary movies on that site, the Bill Mason ones are classics

 

[Peat]

Nanook of the North made in 1922 seems like it have bushcrafty relevance. It was the first ever feature length documentary film. I haven't actually watched it but i've got it sitting ready.

Cabeza de Vaca by Nicolas Echevarria, Mexico 1991

 

[spiritwalker]

having a massive appertite id reckonmend alive :-D

 

[andythecelt]

There seems to be a lack of comedy in this list so I'm adding 'Without a paddle'.
Hairy women, psychotic dope farmers and Burt Reynolds as a frustrated mountain man. What more could you ask for?

PS. Don't ask the bear

I think this is where Bear Grylls got his inspiration from if you know what I mean haha

 

[Broch]

I would go with "Snow Walker" or better still read the story "Walk Well, My Brother".

Cheers,
