They run into a bunch of trouble with Indians.

They get all their shit stolen.

One of them gets killed.

Eventually, one of Boone's hunting partners, his brother and stuff, they leave and go home.

Boone stays by himself.

Some accounts suggest that he's there so long he needs to make his own gunpowder with using wood ash, bat guano, and sulfur deposits, right?

Stays there two years.

Two years?

Yeah, stays in the woods two years, much of it by himself.

Builds up a big pile of hides, twice gets them stolen from him, or seized, I should be a better word for it, seized by the natives.

And just hangs out two years.

He was like, he loved being in the woods, man.

Boone was a badass.

And it came at a great cost.

There was always these conflicts on the colonial frontier.

Boone was next to one of his kids when he was killed in Indian fighting.

Another one of Boone's sons was killed in Indian fighting.

A brother of his was killed.

A brother-in-law was killed.

Many, many people in his family all gave their lives, if that's the right word.
