@Justice Mcdonald you’re a good man

I’m kind of the man. Been 3 years off grid , I got me 45.70 , had to scare 3 black bears to claim my shack. Wife moved out with 1 1/2 years ago . The solitude was good but she been with me 48 years and I built a new cabin by my self, Nieghbor gave me a week for me helped nag him. He sold out, other Nieghbor moved back to town , my age but health failing and he got liking drinking and wacky tobacco, I abstain , some would call us religious. But freedom and mountain living has been my dream, and I’m living it.

you can have all these tools and still be a noob hunter

If you're seriously considering living in the wilds of the Rocky mountains and you want to arm yourself with traditional/primitive firearms then I suggest you get a 54 or maybe even a 58 caliber muzzleloader. Plenty of Hawken rifles to choose from in 54 caliber. You could get a carbine musket reproduction in 58 caliber that shoots mini-ball Conicals. That'd be the best choice for Elk, Moose, and Bear, but within 100 yards a 54 caliber Hawken will still do the job with patched round ball.

@@smartacus88 in the beginning of the movie when he starts off with just a .30 caliber hawken is that pretty much like a .22 ?

His name is "Paints his shirt". His look at Jeremiah is more in the realm of, "God, what an idiot." Doesn't even think his scalp is work it.

​@@TheJTcreate HaHaHa EXACTLY. Like, no reason to kill this imbecile. He'll soon die from starvation anyway 😂

That Injun was "Paints his Shirt Red" He owned Jeremiah at that moment but let him go.

@@musicmadgic6931 those invader bigots always show natives in bad/untrustworthy light while they themselves are encrochers but every bad has a end

And honest - no bullshit power hungry politicians.

Meh... leave it alone

Old man yells at cloud

"Did I already tell you I was dead? Anyway.."

“Yours truly, Hatchet Jack”, you can’t get any more cool with a last will and testament than that.

Indeed

Hatchet Jack loved panther pussy, even in a cave on the musselshell! 😂 🐱

Still at the top of my list of the best.

Back in those days, that's the only thing that can kill big game, especially game that is trying to kill and/or eat you.

Cheers to your brother minus 148 We understand Steve 🍷

To Steve! Godspeed on your last adventure in death! We are all following behind i wish it wasnt the truth haha.

Why not. If he ever wanted to cool off in the summer it would be a perfect place to go.

Word

Ya... if it wasn't for that damn reverend guilting him into crossing the burial grounds...

He owns Sundance Ranch in Utah, named after the character he played. This film was filmed on all public land i.e. National Parks.

You've come far pilgrim :- D

@@viarnay Eh, what trouble?

Watch yer topknot!

My favorite movie ever!!

I discovered this movie the same way you did. Flippin’ channels sometime in 1989 and came across it already in progress. It was the scene where Jeremiah is trying to catch fish. I’ve seen this movie too many times to count, probably around 20 times. I see it every time it comes on tv. I even have it on dvd.

Exactly

@@thomasarbec7242 Of course, by late spring you'd be left to pull it clear from what was left of his scavenged, rotting corpse...

@@jkorshak I don't think scavengers wait for spring. Least not the ones I've seen.

@@Requiredfields2 That's kind of what I mean - by late spring what's left of Hatchet Jack would be spread across the whole area. JJ was lucky to find him so well preserved even in Winter.

@@Requiredfields2 They apparently waited long enough for JJ to find him unscavenged, as per the script. There a few dynamics here. How long had he been dead, how long had he been frozen, how available was his NON frozen corpse to area meat eating scavengers like bugs, birds, cats, wolves, and bears. By the look of him he had not been scavenged at all. He was certainly frozen - possibly solid - so, frozen and unavailable enough to avoid being scavenged between the time he froze and when he was found by JJ. Had he not been found by JJ it's reasonable to expect scavenging would be on him as soon as his scent was able to clear his frozen body, which might be the next sunny day, or maybe not until the first thaw, given he's frozen into a bank of ice and snow in a mountainous, forested, and presumably higher altitude region where any thaw coming later might not be until the Spring.

Jillion is alot. I know what you mean. It was my first PG movie when I was 9 with my Uncle and cousin (PG-13 didn't exit back then). The movie had an impact on me, and I watch it all of the time because of the memories of when I was a kid. Uncle is no longer with us. What a trip he was with his sense of humor.

The dude on the horse IS Paints His Shirt Red.

Thee and me.

And thee makes three

I would have thought the same.

@@raulcastro3277 He'd probably seen lots of white tenderfeet die in the mountains. We think of what great survivors the mountain men were. We forget how many of them died in those mountains, even veterans like Hatchet Jack.

Feels like far.

Feels like far

you’r fine target pilgrim

Empty your hand

"Were it worth the trouble?" "Huh?...... What trouble?" An insight into the minds of men who have their own ideas of the world. And know when to leave it by the wayside...😏

People don’t want movies of this quality.

John I have sen this great movie at least there times. Trying hard to be realistic, without silly wimen spoiling same just looking beautiful and not for any purpose. I was so japp when I found it on Netflix.

John I have some corrections- perhaps it was evident just the same. Motherlanguage Swedish, and at times the spellingprogram change into Swedish I was so happy.....etc.🤪

A forgotten classic for sure

This is one of my favorite movies of all.

Character is based from a book as well.

@BelizeHD Why would you say that? I have it in my DVD collection and I've probably watched it 20+ times. The part where you see him using a fishing line takes place after he'd already been in the mountains for a few years.

That's the point. Don't go into the Rockies unprepared. There is no "fat of the land."

Fishing line probably wasn't readily available everywheres like it is today

Pretty cool acting.⛄

Paul Benedict portrayed the Reverend in this movie, but if you take close notice, he also is uncredited as Frozen Hatchet Jack.

I had a friend years ago who played in MMOs, and his name was always some version of HatchetJack. I never got the refrence.

It’s also about practice.

I love how Johnson squares off with Paints-his-shirt-red when he realizes his gun is afar and accepts his fate .. these beautiful movies say so much with such little dialogue .. the scenery is fantastic.

Yeah.

@@roba1899 Redford's back yard!

The stories of Jim Bridger and Jedidiah Smith are factual accounts of the early explorers and trappers in the early 1800's.

Preston Williams those aren’t mountains in Arkansas, those are hills. I grew up near the Ozarks in Missouri and always wondered why people called them mountains. In my travels for work, I went to Wyoming, Washington State, Colorado, and Alaska and traveled through Montana, N Dakota, S Dakota, Idaho, and Oregon. I remember seeing the Green Mountains in Wyoming, the first real mountain range, and being amazed. Then I traveled over the northern Rockies, through Idaho, and over the Cascades and thought I had finally seen seen real mountains. Then I went to Alaska, boy was I impressed then. By far one of the most beautiful, and dangerous, places on Earth.

Most of these mountain men were employees of fur trading companies.. they set up camp and moved from place to place trapping..they brought their pelts, got paid, got supplies and headed back when it was trapping season

Tru damnit indeed, but he show respect through that bariel ground....

Yee-haww, now god damnit i said Yeee-hawww

Very good information.

Jeremiah Johnson was killed by Indians between Hugoton Kansas and Ulysses Kansas near Wagon Springs Creek. I used to go there with friends to drink beers when I went to college. We would ride 5 to 1 motorcycle out there carrying all the beer we could drink. There is a plaque out there that tells his history and about where he was killed.

@@yapandasoftware - this movie is based upon "liver eating johnson," who died in santa monica, california. must be a different "jeremiah johnson."

brother zeke - my all time favorite movie.

@@z-z-z-z I know this place well. I've been there hundreds of times. I've read the plaque hundreds of times. Wagon Springs Creek. I'll call my friend Pat today in Hugoton Ks. (I live in the Arab Emirates so our timeline is about 13 hours apart) and find out for sure if it's the same Johnson. It says on the plaque that he died by the Crow Indian who killed him by that creek. So it sounds like the same guy.. But somebody has something wrong.

Yeah, cant believe Jeremiah and all his white privilege!

Nature is neither fair nor cruel; it just is...

Amen ..

One of the better movies for some time now.

You forgot injury

@@TheJTcreate That too.

What about disease

True but hatchet Jack had a 50 cal hawken..You couldn’t do no better..

@@Himlee335 good thing he left a note

It seems like the true culprit for Jack was the bear rather than exposure.

@@wikipediaintellectual7088 the bear broke his legs dooming him to death by exposure so it’s about even on what did him in

You can.

@@NoahNelson-Smith Ok then tell me how

@@Nerdperior There are plenty of places on Earth that are rarely visited by anyone. If you really wish to live in the wilderness without any external help, you can go there and try to survive. You aren't forced to partake in modern life.

It’s a hard way to live.

How do you know that little fact ? Jimmy

@@jimmyguenza3767 It states in the book and credits at the end of the movie. Also there is a KZfaq video that mentions it.

Hilarious!

Robert Redford said that it was,just read an article about how it was filmed on his property or close by .They did it to save money because they were only given 4 million to film it .Tbe director actually mortgage his house for tbe movie also.

Thanks for sharing that Golden Nugget Amber! Love this movie !

I was thinking the same thing. The scene in the creek was all fresh snow. They had to wait for Mother Nature to cooperate to film that.

Oh shut up ya whiny bastard.

"Been a lot of lies said around this table here tonight."

true

@Robert Shorthill Leo in Django Unchained before smashing a glass into his hand - Not exactly a weak performance.

Thats what I was thinking No point wasting energy, he will find him dead in few days and take his stuff I was reading about "Old Bill" Williams. They reckon he ate another man once in order to survive when they got stuck in a snowdrift

@Dan Trebune Look up Alferd Packer (that is how he spelled his first name).

The inevitability of conflict stems from people's nature of being in conflict with themselves. Everything else is built on top of that premise.

Actually a sturdy stick with two pointy ends would be the way to go for spear fishing.

@@MrWhoevr you mean a pointy forked end

Westphal Yes a spooned end wouldn’t work.

julialeite63 Well a barb on each pointy end would be good too.

@@MrWhoevr you mean a barbed, and pointed fork end. You keep saying each end/ two ends, but both points would be on the same end.

Please explain greenhorn? Did you know that the early European settlers were the scalpers that taught the Indians how to do it !

Sand Fox, greenhorn=newbie. My mother’s first language was Swedish, although she was born in the USA 1927. She told me how they would tease and bully her at school by calling her “greenhorn”.
