Looking back at how tough a person needed to be during that timeframe as a 19th century frontiersman?.

Could you have survived?

Nonwistanding the grizzly bear attack. I mean, frick that. The will to live is strong but several times I think I might have not made it another day. Just brutal conditions and you had to be a tough SOB to withstand the harsh winter and worry about getting your scalp peeled back or eaten by a pack of wolves or mauled by a bear.

19th century frontiersman would have sucked, especially in the winter months.

Whenever this movie comes up in conversation, the only word that comes to mind is BRUTAL.

the landscape was much more suitable for basic survival in those days. Although it would have been hard, some of us may have been able to survive. Would need a little luck though.

I knew I couldn't do it when he had to float down that river to escape the indians. I'd rather die than do that.

It’s all about scope and perspective. You’d be amazed at what you could handle given expectations.

With that said, I’d have died at the bear.
