At the age of 26, H. R. "Rick" Shrack gained an interest in the fur-trapping era of the 1800's. He studied the history, made
buckskins, practiced and gained many of those precious old skills. Going as far as living the lifestyle, Rick was able to
hone his abilities at hunting, tracking, throwing his Bowie, foraging for wild edibles, and wandering about like a genuine
mountain man. Many of his wanderings were in the 10,000-foot forests of the High Uintah Mountains of Utah and the more secluded
Bitterroots of Montana, areas once inhabited by such men. Seeking out men whose skills are second to none today, he learned
from them, taking their advice and, more importantly, their skills to heart.
