The Last Mountain Man

Laramy Miller: The Last Mountain Man By Chris Avena Laramy “Sasquatch” Miller, brought-up with the traditions of generations long gone was raised in the picturesque yet treacherous mountains of Colorado. Under the tutelage of his grandfather and Uncles he was taught not only trapping and hunting skills, he learned how to survive in the wilderness with nothing more than his knife. As he grew, so did his skill set. He possesses the ability to live in the wild as our ancestors did over one hundred years ago. Today, Laramy is the host of the Outdoor Channel’s “The Trail” as well as the Sportsman Channels “Last of a Breed.” Laramy truly is the last mountain man as he sets out to uncharted territory sporting his homemade buckskins and long bow crafted by his own hand as he endures the elements and the unknown adventures that lie ahead. Standing 6’7” and weighing in a 270 pounds, Laramy is a formidable adversary for whatever he may come across in the back country (except for maybe a grizzly) yet, back at home, you are greeted with his signature smile. Chris: Today we are here with Laramy “Sasquatch” Miller. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Laramy: It's my pleasure. I always love to talk to you. We've been friends for a long time. Chris: I haven't seen you in a while, COVID kind of put a wrinkle in everything. I feel like I am playing catch up with everybody. Since I last saw you, you were in the process of starting Last of a Breed, and then you started The Trail. How's everything going with your shows? Laramy: I tell you what. I had this harebrained idea because I like to put myself through pain, I guess. But The Trail was kind of a baby of mine for a while and I always thought it'd be so cool because, you have all of these TV shows, you have “Alone”, you got all this stuff that has been a big deal and so I'm sitting there thinking of me as a modern-day mountain man and I always try to put myself in the early 1800s. So, I thought, well, I'm going to take off with a horse and nothing. A horse, a long bow, knife hatchet, sleeping bag. Let's go. Luckily Tim thought it was a great idea and we started up the show and it's been great. Right now, we are in the second season is doing very well. And yeah, it's the time of my life, honestly. Chris: You are doing nothing more than being yourself. You were raised this way. Laramy: I was raised this way, but I'll tell you what, what people don't realize is that in the first season I lost 37 pounds. Laramy: I'm a big guy, so I can afford to lose a little bit, but 37 pounds is a lot. People do not realize what it takes. When you don't have that mountain house or you don't have potatoes or food in your refrigerator, you have to get everything yourself. You have to go out there and you are cutting wood constantly, especially if it gets cold, that just makes everything five times harder. Then you throw a horse in the mix and you have to take care of him too. Chris: Sure. The horse isn't going to be eating the squirrels that you shoot.l Laramy: Exactly. When there's two feet of snow down, what do you do for your horse? When the water is frozen over, like during season one, which is already aired and it's on MOTV and everything else. But season one, I had a freak snowstorm come through and it dropped two feet of snow on us. I had to literally boil water, melt water down for my horse because the water was all frozen. I had to find food for both of us. That was why I lost 37 pounds, but the second season I did a lot better. I only lost 24 pounds. Chris: So, you are in constant motion. You are not sitting around in camp. There's always something to do. Laramy Miller - The Last Mountain Man (nxtbook.com)
