The Revenant

[Rebel Darling]

The lady and I went and saw it yesterday afternoon.  I had never been in a room so full of people, and so incredibly quiet for 2.5 hours.  The movie, in our opinion, was well worth the money, and the time spent.

 

The lady mentioned to me that had she not experienced the field dressing and butchering of deer, that she probably would have found the movie too graphic and gruesome, but since she's seen the reality of harvest, she appreciated the movie's graphic "honesty."

 

Tom Hardy did an excellent, recognition-worthy job as Fitzgerald.

The wife and I saw it yesterday, it's a great suspenseful movie! I didn't know anything about Hugh Glass till I read this blog, thanks guys for all the background and links. Those mountain men were definitely tougher than I am, I was freezing just watching the movie!

Revenant Striker

 

 

 

I have a flint & steel fire starter kit. My wife & I used to participate in muzzle-loader shoots where we had to shoot, throw knives & tomahawks as well as start a fire W/flint & steel to light a candle. The fire starting part was timed & scored accordingly.

 

I was taught to strike the steel W/the piece of flint ,(just lime the flint lock of a rifle) not the other way around. By striking the steel W/the flint there is more control over where the sparks go. We were told to hold the flint & strike the steel like we were trying to slice the paper off a soup can. We made the steel out of triangular files shaped like an elongated "O" with a gap to go around the fingers.

 

I use a 1/2 pint steel paint can W/a hole in the lid to make cotton char cloth  by heating cotton patches in the closed can on the stove while burning off the gases that escaped through the hole. That reduce smoke in the house!. We empoyed jute from old manila ropes to make our tinder nests  W/the char cloth in the middle.

I saw the movie last night and thought it was great. Typical Hollywood they had to make some major changes to the story but the visuals were amazing and Tom Hardy was a great Fitgerald

Saw only the last 10 minutes of Jeremiah Johnson the other night with Robert Redford. Hope to catch the whole thing someday

Just watched Josey Wales again last week. I think it was on again last night too.

[The_Real_TCIII]

If Josey Wales is on I'm parked for the duration

[turkeyfeathers]

Jeremiah Johnson is on Sundance now. And I missed the beginning. Ugh

[grampy]

Jeremiah Johnson and The Outlaw Josey Wales, are two of my all time favorites! Have watched them both a bunch of times. Some movies, you never get tired of seeing!

[Pygmy]

Hehehehe...I can nearly relate the dialog for BOTH of them verbatim...Two absolute classic films for us western/Mt man buffs...

I did read somewhere that Clint Eastwood considered " Josey Wales" his favorite film, and he has made a LOT of good ones.

I never get tired of watching either one.

Josey Wales, Jeremiah Johnson, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, True Grit, several others. Just watched 3:10 to Yuma this weekend. All are channel surf stoppers for me. I'll add The Revenant to that list when it hits my TV too. Saw it in the movie theatre and it was really good. Might even go again!

He lived for two years with a female panther up in a cave on the Musselshell. She never did get used to him...

[Pygmy]

You mean a full time night woman ? WAUGH !

I packed a squaw for nigh onto two years. Cheyenne, she was, meanest bitch that ever bawled for beads.

I lodgepoled her down on the Musselshell..Swapped her for a Hawken gun !

He may be a Flathead, but he's still a Injun !

You insult him by turning down his gift and they'll slit you, me, Caleb and the horses from crotch to eyeball with a dull deer antler !

The river rolled,the crickets sang,

The lightnin bug he flashed his wing

And like a rope, my arms I fling

Round rose of Alabamy

Oh, brown Rosey

Rose of Alabamy

The sweet tobacco posey

Is the rose of Alabamy

[grampy]

You can pay me when you see me again, Josey Wales.
