He has studied survival techniques to some degree, but still needs some 1 on 1 training for this field. Please feel free to contact me for further info. Thanks, whenegar@hotmail.com P.S.-we have been on 2 trips with R & R Fly Fishing-very rewarding.

I was surprised by the amount of trees as well. Wonder what pool that is, no longer equipped with a diving board... and some pretty talented kids. Gatlinburg will never look like that again!

However, the Chimneys and the slopes of LeConte were too steep to cut. You made a good point that they probably didn't film anything that looked ugly, probably because you didn't take a vacation there. Elkmont was transitioning from a logging town to resort in 1928. Wayne,

But, from my readings about the logging activities of the early 1900's, I had expected to see a barren landscape - what I see in the video looks pretty lush!
