Mountain Men is a reality television series that airs on the History channel. It made its debut on the channel in 2012, centered around the life of Eustace Conway. Eustace Conway, who is a man who is described as having a love for the great outdoors and a cabin-building expert, has carved out a life for himself in the Appalachians of North Carolina. The show tracks his life as well as those of other similar men and women, who live in some of the most remote and rugged parts of the country.

The show provides a fascinating insight into the lives of people who live off the land in today's modern world. In contrast to the hustle and bustle of city living, these mountain people carve out a simpler, yet sometimes lonely and difficult lifestyle. They have to rely on their own ingenuity and self-sufficiency to survive, living out their days in a completely different way from most of us.

The show is presented in a way that is both informative and entertaining, providing viewers with a knowledge of the kinds of skills that are required to live off the land. The show has been praised for its authenticity, with Eustace Conway being a genuine example of the kind of person the show is profiling. The show does not rely on scripted drama or contrived conflicts, making it a true example of reality television.

The show often features Eustace Conway and his team taking on some extreme challenges, such as crossing rivers, building log cabins or hunting, all of which require a high degree of skill and patience. The show also profiles other mountain men like Marty Meierotto, a trapper in Alaska's harsh and freezing wilderness, who lives with his family, including his wife Dominique, who is just as skilled in the art of trapping as he is.

Tom Oar is another man who is often featured on the show, who is a living legend of sorts when it comes to living off the land. Based in Montana, Oar is a man who has been living in the wilderness since the 1970s. Alongside his dog, Ellie, he spends his days building traps, and hunting for furs, which he then sells. He is a master tracker, able to read the behavior of local wildlife to understand where and when to set traps.

Another unique aspect of the show is that it showcases the different ways these mountain people live. For instance, Morgan Beasley is a survivalist and mountain man from Alaska, who lives alone and completely off the grid. He uses renewable energy sources such as solar panels to power his home and grow his food. He even built a restroom out of snow and ice on his property.

In conclusion, Mountain Men is a unique and entertaining show that provides an insight into the lives of a group of people who live off the land. The show is presented in an authentic and engaging way, showcasing different lifestyles and challenges these people face in remote parts of the country. The show provides a fascination as to how these people not only survive but thrive in environments that many people would find prohibitive.

The show gives viewers an opportunity to learn new skills, and see the world from the perspective of those who don't live in urban areas, but who rather embrace off-the-grid living. Mountain Men is a must-watch for those who love nature, survival, and those who appreciate the basic and essential elements of life.
