Welcome to Teton Todd's Mountain Adventures (TTMA). I've been knocking around the mountains for 30 plus years researching and experimenting on the lives and times of the original Rocky Mountain based beaver trappers better known today as the "Mountain Men."
In TTMA I hope to pass along some of the skills I've learned along with looking at the material culture of the Mountaineers of old and we'll explore historical intepretation of the western Fur Trade era from roughly 1800-1840.
The target audience is primarily those who are interseted in the history of the western fur trade and the "Mountain Men," and also those who may just be getting started in historical interpretation of that time period, and lastly fellow mountaineers with whom I share great mountain adventures!

A visit to the annual "School Days" held at the Museum of the Mountain Men in Pinedale, Wyoming. Each May, members of the American Mountain Men visit the museum to help teach Fur Trade history to the kids. Over the course of several days, 700-900 kids visit. This year it was cold, and windy with snow, but fun none-the-less!

I've seen several videos of horns , but , I've never seen Anyone actually put powder into one !
Just happened across this video. Enjoyed the content a great deal. Very informative with a practical and easy going presentation. I learned a lot and appreciate that!
My Dad stll had these in the Polish army in the mid 70´s. This is actually wide spread in Eastern European armies.
Nice job brother, God bless you as well.
Anyone know the name of the second tune?
Anyone know the tune at the beginning? Sounds so familar...
Found out. It's mcleods reel, also known as did you ever get to meeting uncle joe
In England these were called Toerags and used by agricultural workers. Many were made of linen. And also people were called toerags.
I must have watched this 100 times and I watched it a 1000 times more
That was more interesting than I expected....A lot of information without too much fussing around...Love seeing the details of kits though... Gonna watch another now
Shiyo Oginalli! Excellent video! Well presented with plenty of history and some great tips as well! I look forward to watching more videos. I offer Authentic videos on meat preservation, Braintanning, etc. Sgi!🦅
Hey Todd we miss you….y’all come back now….ya hear?
You said you were hunting wild horses? I didn't realize people do that, what do you do with them then?
Beating them.
Can you tell us how to dp our own Buckskin pants which pattern works best ect??
Sad that this channel is no longer active. This is the best content on UA-cam.
Some still say.. he's out there still....
Enjoyed your video. FYI, “Teton” is the French word for large tits.
There are pieces of ship’s bread that are still edible today in museums. The recipe is all over the internet Max at Tasting History has a couple videos. And, of course, our kindred spirits at Townsend’s have them. Both also have recipes that were made from hardtack, ship’s biscuit, and some of them are mighty appealing.
Great presentation on authentic bedrolls. Todd you are a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration to us all. Your tall stature notwithstanding, you are a giant among men.
thanks, was interesting
How many mountains are named after tits?!?! I swear in my, rather limited, traveled through the Rockies that EVERY pair of mountains that are a bit alone or separated from the main range are called some variations of “tetons”
This has been around for a very long time. I have used these for the past seven years when it gets below 20F. When your foot feels damp and you don't have a fire, you can flip the wool cloth and use the drier other side. I have gone whole winters without washing my feet and never develop foot smell due to steaming the wool near the fire. I always use tall grass in the bottoms of my mocs or shoes. I fold to the length of my foot and slide into the bottom. About a quarter or pasta serving per moc.. I break tall grass above the snow with my fingers. Just as with making mocs., you take the length of your hand and roll you knuckles forward to the middle finger joint. That is the length of your foot. So, you fold the excess grass to quickly fit the base of your moc.. When the grass gets damp, just add more or set on something like a stove to steam dry. The oldest known shoe has grass inside of it. Dried moss can also be used as a foot bed. Thicker grass like coarse wool keeps one's foot warmer longer. Avoid soft merino or alpaca wool and use coarse wool only for . Beaten up grass beds that are dry work as great fire lighting. Grass inside mocs was an old common habit. I would rely on that first and avoid socks. I have not worn socks here in Montana for seven years now.
Funny about resistance to percussion locks among the mountain men. Not surprising. It's just like the people today who prefer cars with mechanical linkages, no computers, etc. I resolved my next vehicle will be a vintage one. I just bought a flintlock. ;-)
I want a Saami/Viking style tunic in leather for my outdoor duds. The pullover style has some affinities with a Native American war shirt, but gathered at the waist, so perfect for a sash. Did Scandinavian hunters come to the early American frontier as pioneers? Certainly, Scandinavian farmers did come later.
Does eney one have his e mail adress
Hi I’m interested in 2 of the Navajo blanket I would like to get. 2 of them if possible thanks
When you live in an area that has no such events you have no alternate left but to simply live like this all the time.
If you plan to go about living in the out-of-doors the very first thing you need is a broad-brimmed felt hat. Get a piloncillo sombrero if you can. Since before Peter Stuyvesant and The Pilgrims. Go ahead--- splurge. Your youthful complexion will thank you in 40 years. Best Hat Award.
Thanks
Hey Todd, are you still doing anything in muzzleloading? Any more videos?
Well done brother! Funny to come across my friend Teton on UA-cam!
Tell your friend to make more videos!
@@gobigrey9352 yes many more!!
I know this was several years back but it’s fantastic any time you teach kids history of the fur trade. They are starving for real stuff these days and putting their hands on fur is a needed break from all the electronic devices they have these days.
I know it's been quite some time since you put this video out but I want to thank you ever so much for all the information that you have given I will follow you. Have a great day and stay safe!
Any ideas how to sell my gear.i started 60s AMM. Member since 70s
A rabbit pelt would be perfect for this great video thanks guys ✝️🇺🇸💪🤠
very well done
TetonTodd it looks like you no longer post but I wanted to thank you for this treasure trove and wealth of information. Thanks for all the time and effort you spent on these masterpieces and leaving them up. Many blessings.
Pop 😊
How do i get one of those early navajo cheif blanket
Did you ever get a hold for the blanket I’m looking for 2 my self
That fine young man hefting the traps around the 16:40 mark appears to be one of my two sons, who attended along with my daughter and wife. They've changed some. Both boys are now active duty Marines! Jeff Hadden AMM 772.
White birch bark is a natural fire starter, like greasewood. It burns like gasoline.
Very good series on containers. It is confusing for new traditional muzzleloader shooters to understand and buy the shooting bag and the possibles bag. Every seller of these bags identify shooting bags as possibles bags.
That fire Makin extra stuff should be waterproofed
You don't need that fork kit. Extra weight
I have a buffalo hide with a brown material sewn onto the inside. It appears to be very old. I was told that it was a lap shawl, but seems very large for this. Maybe a robe. Any thoughts on this?
I shoot BP and would like to be able to reload in the field with a Lyman 301 tool. Is it possible to find a possible bag to hold the tool with loops to hold the die. Thoughts?
Say buffalo and the thunder rolls: - )
10:36 Wtf? Wormhole?
Everything has a purpose
DANG shame not a single horse to be seen,.....would never have been noth'n without horses back in the real day !....
Gotta be liquor and guns pointy shit a few loose women
