The American Mountain Men aim to conserve the nation’s remaining natural wilderness and wildlife, and to enable their members to survive alone, under any circumstances, using only what nature has to offer. They are interested in the quality of members, not the quantity, and their primary characteristic is to be a Brotherhood of Men. Members of the organization strive to teach, share, and learn the arts and skills of the original American mountain men. They also aim to embrace the total lifestyle of the original Mountain Men, researching all they can about these rugged individualists and then going into the field to practice what they have learned. They share their findings with other members through their magazine, "The Tomahawk & Long Rifle" The organization is not large, but it is worldwide. They work within the 1820 – 1840 era. The sense of camaraderie and the shared endeavor are more important to them than individual gain. As a member Chris will instruct interested parties in survival techniques in the wild. His son, Michael Peterson, also followed in his footsteps and became a bladesmith.
