New move coming out in 2015, based on the life of legendary frontiersman and 19th century trapper Hugh Glass, who was mauled by a bear and left for dead by his fellow compatriots, as there were indians tracking them in the area, intent on killing them.

[I remember an older version done in the seventies, I think it was starring peter o toole, and john ford was in it, or was it peckinpah, or some of those wildly politically incorrect loveable rogues..but i cannot remember the title at the moment.]

New Movie has a stelar cast as well, dicaprio to play hugh glass, tom hardy etc.

Could well be my favorite film of 2015!

Was that the one with the silly boat they were dragging overland? passably good in places. Jeremiah Johnson was better.

I'm really looking forward to this. I've never seen Leo do badly even in movies I didn't think much of.

Awesome! I'd seen that trailer and wanted to find out more about the story behind it!
What a story! I'm sure the film will be epic!

Where can I find some information about the kit that these scouts carried with them?

I regularly see posts to do with frontiersmen and their equipment, but I was wondering if anyone can point me to a good online resource...

Not sure about online, but you could do a lot worse than get hold of Carl Russel's book 'Firearms,Traps and Tools of the Mountain Men'.

Best.
