            In the book "The Revenant" life is pretty different and some-what similar from the way they had to survive compared to how we survive now. Traveling in the 1800s wasn’t so pleasant compared to today. “…We only make up ten miles a day…”(49) we have cars so it takes us less than ten minutes to travel that far. Medical care is pretty rough too. They only have bandages and tree sap instead if we ever get injured in the woods we can get air lifted to a hospital and seek a lot better care there. Our firearms have come a long way also. While they can only shoot once and then have to go through so much steps just to load another bullet. We can shoot more than once and have a less painful short reloading process. Clothing is different too because, they use only hide while we use cotton, hide, other things. Life is not so different too, like we both hunt the same. We both track the same but, tracking might be a little more difficult today due to lower population of forests and wild life. Also we both do are field dressing and butchering the same.

Obviously life was a lot more difficult back then, and life is only going to get easier.
