New Warm Springs Productions’ Series Mountain Men Brings Trapping, Hunting, and the Backwoods to History Channel
OutdoorHub 05.14.12
Warm Springs Production today announced their groundbreaking new series, Mountain Men, will begin airing on History Channel May 31st at 10pm Eastern Time.
“As our company has grown, we’ve continued to look to bring our passion for the outdoors to more people,” said Marc Pierce, Managing Partner of Warm Springs Productions. “This series is going to bring hunting and trapping in front of a major audience, most of who have never experienced these things before. They’ll get a unique glimpse of these activities through the worlds of some rare characters in backcountry America.”
Mountain Men will follow lives of three modern day mountain men: Eustace Conway of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Tom Oar of the Yaak River Valley in Montana, and Marty Meierotto of the northern range in Alaska. The series will chronicle the day-to-day activities they go through to survive and make a living in some of the toughest environments in the country.
Each character makes their living off the land through trapping, tanning, as well as subsisting solely on what they can grow, fish or hunt. As a part of that lifestyle, they’re constantly confronted with the challenges Mother Nature throws at them such as 60 degrees below zero weather, grizzly bears, wolves, and the threat of serious injury while living and working in remote areas a long ways from the nearest hospital.
“These mountain men lead extreme lives in extreme areas of the world,” added Chris Richardson, President of Warm Springs Productions. “We’re truly excited to bring their tale to History Channel viewers and we’re so grateful for all the hard work our crew has put into this project.”
The crew at Warm Springs Productions has more than 30 years of combined experience hosting, filming and producing hunting, fishing and outdoor adventure television. And since its founding in 2008, the company has experienced meteoric growth and currently produces series for Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, Travel Channel, History, and Discovery Science.
