Scout/Mountain Man or Woman
Scouts served as advance parties for troops and cattle drives, surveying the land for enemies and hazardous terrain. Scouts usually had the skills to live off the land for months at a time. Many scouts either were American Indians or were personally acquainted with the tribes in the areas in which they traveled.
Mountain men and women were similarly familiar with the natives in the lands where they plied their trades, hunting and trapping. Among the more famous “mountain men” are Hugh Glass (horribly mauled by a bear and left for dead by his companions, he made his way alone, armed with only a straight razor through 200 miles of wilderness back to civilization), and John Johnston (AKA “Liver-Eating” Johnson—his family murdered by the Crow, he spent decades hunting, killing, scalping, and eating the livers of the Crow tribe)
