Hello everyone from the "enterprising young man" of the group! 

This is my page where you hopefully will find an interest in what I'm doing. My historical journey so to speak. 

My main character in this group is a Rocky Mountain trapper from the 1830's that I have honed with research and with the help of my fantastic mentors in S.M.M. (Scandinavian Mountain Men)  and A.M.M. (American Mountain Men). 

I spend as much time out in wild as I possibly can, all year round. When outdoors isn't an option, I spend much of my time in the workshop. There I make my own clothing and equipment by hand, or study the history of the American fur trade era.

Last summer (2025) I went on a month-long trip to the U.S.A. where I had the pleasure to spend a lot of time with our fantastic brothers in A.M.M. in the right environment. 

My goal with this this historic journey as a whole, is to actually be able to experience history on my own as a way to get answers on questions only real life experience can reveal.  While doing that I'll  hopefully encourage and spark an interest enabling more people to get into this fantastic hobby. So! If you see me or any of us out in the wild or at rendezvous, don't be afraid to come over and talk.

To be continued!
