What Really Happened to Eustace Conway From Mountain Men 

I Worked with Eustace for a year in Norfolk Va. back in 1977-78 Stocking groceries at night in a local Giant open air market. He was living with his Grandmother helping her out until she passed away. After she passed Eustice moved to North Carolina with his saved money to buy land of his own which was his dream.

I really love the Series, Mountain Men and especially because of Eustace. I was heartsick when his long time friend passed away. I so wish that Eustace and the show would return!

I've been a huge fan of Eustace from the beginning of Mountain Men. Eustace and Preston (RIP) are the real-life McGuyvers of the wilderness. American values and tradition.

I knew Eustace as a child. We lived in the same neighborhood, just around the corner from each other. Went to the same schools. I remember him as different, a bit iconoclastic, but always a nice guy. He was heavily interested in Indigenous American culture and skills...and sustainable living, even then. Most of the other kids, I think, considered him a bit weird - but probably because they didn't understand him. He always did his own thing - and I admired him for it, even then.

Please bring back Eustace and the Mountain Men!!

Man, I'm 60 years old, and still work outside nearly every day... My father taught me that a man should try to learn everything he can, every opportunity that came his way. If someone takes the time to teach you something, have enough respect for them to learn it! I would love to spend the est of my days on Turtle Island, learning from him.. (I'm a retired welder btw).

Please we need back, the last Alaskan and the mountain man, I really miss that's shows.

Eustace lives around 20 miles east of me. Most people don't know that he has a college degree, has hiked the AT,parts of Australia and Europe. He doesn't ride horses to Boone, he drives a new red Ford F250 and Turtle Island is most definitely not the most dangerous mountain in the Blue Ridge. That distinction goes to Grandfather Mountain. Not only is Grandfather the highest peak in the Blue Ridge Chain, it's also the most dangerous. The view from the highest peak is worth the danger though. I'm not physically able to make the hike anymore, but I'll never forget the majestic view from the top. While Eustace is a good guy, don't believe anything you see on "reality" TV shows. The only genuine reality show that was non scripted, one man with 3-5 cameras and no crew was Survivorman. Les Stroud started it all and the networks just stole his ideas and started making fully scripted and crewed garbage. Bear Grylls is the worst of the bunch. If you want to learn the fastest way to die in a survival situation, watch Bear. In reality he couldn't survive in a empty Walmart parking lot. Everything he does is scripted and staged, just like all of the rest of the so called "reality" shows. Face it, there's nothing real on TV or social media. That's why I don't watch TV and only use social media to watch anime and play games. I also follow a few RU-vid channels that do gun and ammo reviews and the power of nature videos.

I miss Eustace. He and his buddy were a great team. I also love Tom. What a great guy! But , I wish there was more of Eustace and his wonderful teachings!! 😢

This show is not the same without Eustace. In fact him & Tom were the only reason I watch it. I genuinely respect & envy his way of life. It would be hard, but also extremely rewarding. Bless u all brothers & sisters. And if u see this Eustace, PLEASE come back to the show.

The world needs more Eustace

I really missed Preston at the end😞😞😞😞

Read a book about Eustace probably 20 years ago, think it was called "Last American Man" maybe, dunno, got it somewhere, fantastic story, couldn't put it down and read it in a day. Amazing man and his love and connection to the horse was incredible, road coast to coast on a horse and in the book he loses his #1 horse I believe clearing land at his now Turtle Island, it was gut wretching to hear his despair, great book, a highly recommended read.

I live about 10 miles from Turtle Island and don’t let the reality series fool you that he’s always broke, he is intelligent and well off. I’d rather had watch Preston work. He was a school teacher and sad when he passed.

I don't know if this is the same Eustace but back in the summer of 1972, i worked at a camp in the North Carolina mounrains and we had a 10yo by the same name and looks remarkably like the person on Mountain Men (years later). He was a great kid and enthusiastic about everything we did including hiking, backpacking, wood crafts. If this is the same person, I'm not at all surprised. I am so pleased that he took to a lifestyle level.

We need to see more about Eustace!!

We need Mountain men back for sure. I've learned so much.

Eustace is the man!

Ustace was a wonderful.. I miss mountain. Especially Eustace. Love ya man . And he is a great teacher

Years ago I met him at the Schiele Museum during one of their pioneer weekends. We struck up a conversation about old farming ways. Quite a knowledgeable fellow.

I love Tom and Eustace that is why I watch it,but they are putting different people on.

Love Eustace Conway!!

I wish I could visit him. HE is so interesting person.

He's a national treasure, his grandfather started Camp Sequoyah here in NC. If I had a kid I'd make them read the book by Elizabeth Gilbert on him, Last American Man, than quiz 'em , best read I've had in years. Old Sequoyahan here '69 and '74,.

Clever man always a good watch here in the great state of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I know families face challenges but NEVER SELL if you have land. They only turn into shopping centers and bougie a$$ neighborhoods. It ruins small towns all across America 😞 Take care Eustice ❤

Odd how on every other episode he will loose his land if doesn't sell a load of firewood!

If you wanna see him he a good friend of mine. He in Beaufort South Carolina two times a year.

I enjoyed this program couldn’t watch him though! Always fast fwd through his parts.

Love his show

I live in and around the community where Eustis lives. He has many rental homes, and despite his nature, loving nature personality on TV he is a private investor for many developments that are actually tearing up land and building apartments for college kids in Boone and developments in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains to tear down the forest and build neighborhoods. His tools are not handed down nor made on his property. They are purchased at an antique mall on Highway 321 in between Boone and blowing rock. He may have been a survivalist at one point but now he’s just a rich old man that plays the part.

Y'all should read his biography and all he has done . He is not a backwoods hick ..

You do not know what you are talking about..Eustace graduated from Appalachia State University Boon N.C.He holds a degree in English and Anthropology..check your facts...

Eustace was way ahead of his time... I love Mountain Men. Why is this trying to put a gay spin on his friendship? I'm sure he loved his friend. His friend had a wife and children.

He also has air bnb rentals now, this video is very misleading and doesn’t tell the whole story…….

Always love watching you Eustace

In a interview, admits Eustace Conway that he is not as big a savage as he would like to appear. " I am aware that a large part of it is acting. I know I'm a "showman". I know that I show people a picture of how I want to live. But what can I do? I do it so that people can benefit from it, he says and explains that he wants to inspire as many people as possible" The same reportage also reveals that they profit well from being involved in the series.

failed to mention that he graduated from college

I stopped watching Mountain Men after the episode where Eustace missed a deer while hunting and called his bad aim (or bad sights) a "misfire". No one on the show pointed out that if his gun fired, it was not a misfire, just a miss.

The old Boy Is a Multi Talented Craftsman, MacGyver; All in one. I think he Should Dedicate some Time To Diet and Exercise, Get old man Balboa , in shape, so as to better handle the Chores. He is a Gifted , Old School person, full of God Given Talent, and Wisdom.

Thank you very much.

Missing Eustace

All respect guy from Western Kentucky ✌️🇱🇷🤘

it saddening hearing stories about how people got like 1000+ acres of land a few decades ago for very affordable prices knowing that in modern times any decent land is $3-5k+ per acre and the average guy making 50k or so a year will never own 1000 acres. good for him of course, but i wish i could get cheap land.

So nothing really happened to him??? Click bait much?

Thank you for reminding me that British sounding people dont pronounce words correctly either.

I would love to meet Eustace and see Turtle Island.

He is hands-down the best of all of the mountain men show. It's just incredible the things that he can do, the talents he possesses from from so long ago. You just don't come along and see people like that, the knowledge he possesses this day and age. Without him on the show it just would not be that interesting.

I named one of my cats Eustace Preston Allegheny in honor of the two best friends. “Better than a opossum in the pocket” ❤️

A real man

Many years ago before most knew of Eustace Conway, one of my cousins had a dog she named "Eustace". Her husband called him Useless.

Greetings from Germany Peter

He's a real Man !!! Don g Naples fl

The constant background music is distracting and annoying. In other words, too much static.

He lived in his teepee while he was in college too.

The show made him a million air

I live near him and actually did plumbing in a home of his that isn't, uh, shall we say, simple.

Useless Conway is one of the reasons I don't watch Mountain Men anymore. The fakery was too painful to watch.

Why did you not mention he has a BS degree in anthropology and English???

if anybody just wants the answer to the question in the title, you can skip the first 8.5 minutes of this 9.5 minute video.

Not a mountain man he only lives 10 miles from town

,HE IS a good man that lived simple an taught many but the powers to be hate that it’s all about control.

When you say Eutace's loving partner, please tell me that's strickly a business partner.

He sold all his land and became a city slicker

He went back to teaching. Asu

You forgot to mention he is remodeling homes for AirBNB

I would love to be on turtle Island you need help I would love to come

En español por favor

We call him "useless" Conway. Seems like he always has to have help on his projects. Plus, we all know he's not really poor or struggling to survive.

I live off the Land ! and when the land is dead the food stamps help a lot ! lol

He never even said what happened. Hello.

Way too much of a word salad here! Just get to the basic explanation and forget all of peripheral language.

01:57 a photo op. the saw is on the top of the blade. he knows better

You don't have to work that hard, smart men meet rich women, and succeed

Sad that the local community Politicians were out to crush this man's lifestyle and way of life. This is a clear example that there is no such thing as freedom in the USA. You should be able to do as you wish on your own Land and share your Land with others as you choose. But that is the furthest from the truth. You would think that the community would embrace his lifestyle as it did bring in others from all around the Country and the local township would benefit from money that wouldn't have come to the local economy. But the Politicians want to persecute those last few true Humans

He's taking time to print up POSTED SIGNS to keep your ass off his property! It's ALL MINE and I'm buying more!

I never liked him on the show.

This is horrible

Thought he went college Appalachian st ?

Love Eustace , hate the music !

He should be the PRESIDENT.

Notice that he drive 3 Rd gen yota hmm interesting 🤔

Ironically Eustice lives in a modern house in town now. Seriously, look it up. He's had one hell of an interesting life; read "The Last American Man".

CLICK BAIT! Nothing happened to Eustace he was still in the latest season of mountain men. Don't know where you get your info, he isn't worth 1 million, his net worth is $200,000.

He got lucky the history channel ruins the lives of the people they claim to help

Far too much commercial time for such an inconsequential video. I'm leaving.

This seems like a mockery from the English

"His beloved partner " ??? The narator said that several times. Is he trying to imply that Eustace Conway is gay ??

======= R I P ======= PRESTON

Seriously, deadliest mountain just outside Boone🤣😂 No deadliest mountain in western North Carolina!!!! I live right over the mountain in East Tennessee😉

We all know Eustis and his best friend were in love by and whole buddies and that’s OK. Of course he has a broken heart chest ask his best friends wife she’s known all along she never be first.❤

Useless

This has to be a joke. Making a fire, cutting some brush, sawing a log, truck engine blowing up haha, these are everyday occurrences for a good part of the rural population. These shows are meant for city folk. The best is when he shoots a deer for meat. There are over 4000 000 deer a year harvested in Wisconsin every fall haha. Silly.

He was born in NC

Uhhhh. Too english...😵‍💫

He looks pretty round for a mountain man. just sayin.

People probably got fed up with his mouth and his. Bragging all the time He thinks hes Einstein. Preston forgotten more than He will ever know.

I love useless conroy

He is a lot like Daniel Boone.

Or British whatever you are
