How the Wild West Was Won with Ray Mears

How did the mountain ranges, the great plains and the deserts challenge the westward push of the early pioneers in North America? Ray Mears, the world-renowned bushcraft expert, makes his way on an exciting adventure across the country to find this out. As Ray travels through each landscape, he discovers how extraordinary topography, extreme weather, wild animals and ecology presented both great opportunities and even greater challenges for Native Americans, mountain men, fur traders, wagon-masters, homesteaders, gold miners, lumberjacks, cowboys and lawmen of the Wild West.
