There's a lot of movies out, that depict (or try to depict) the wilderness, with maybe some skills involved. Several of these hollywood films, are poorly done, b movies, that were just to be quick bucks for their makers. While others, had serious outdoorsmen involved to help bring quality and realistic scenes to the films.
There are several movies I've watched that I enjoyed, and were fairly informational. The two I like the most, both are staged during the mountain man era. Jeremiah Johnson, was the first wilderness film I ever saw. It's been a fond memory of mine since I was 8 years of age. The other, is a recent film, with Liam Neeson, and Pierce Brosnan. It was called Seraphim Falls. A more.. graphically violent film about a mountain man, being hunted down by (for lack of a better term) bounty hunters. Both films showed certain skills involved, that were used by Mountain Men (flint and steel, use of log building tools, etc).
Anyone else out there with fond memories of certain films? Anyone else have suggestions of good films for others to watch?
