In the summer of 2015, Jeroen came across an article in National Geographic. The article was about a group of men trekking into the wilderness with no modern equipment, no modern clothes, no modern tools, and they were doing this for fun. A native to the Netherlands, Jeroen had never seen this before and needed to learn more.

As he researched, Jeroen found these men were involved with "The American Mountain Men", or AMM, and an idea, and once-in-a-lifetime adventure began.

After traveling to the United States 7 times, Jeroen spent a lot of time much time with the mountain men in some of the most beautiful locations, but also and in some of the harshest conditions North America has to offer. From -25°C in the North of America, to +40°C in the sunny dry deserts in central America, Jeroen was able to experience America like it was 150 years ago.
