About Us

 

Fortner's Frontier Leather and Modern Frontiersman are both projects I started with the same purpose in mind....encourage self reliance and preparedness. After I got out of the Marines in 2009, I realized that I did not like the way society was looking. So, I wanted to do something about it. First I wanted to get back to a wholesome and traditional lifestyle that provides all the benefits from hard work and self reliance. Then, it became my goal to do encourage Americans to do the same. In the process, I accidentally stumbled upon leathercraft while learning to tan hides, taught myself to work leather, then started making items for other outdoorsman and people trying to live a traditional life as well. 

Everything is made by hand, with absolutely no machinery! 

Modern Frontiersman came during the craziness of the pandemic in 2020. While I wanted to speak out on the subject on youtube, as well as share prepping and survival advice from experiences from my time in Boy Scouts as well as in the Marine Corps, I did not want my leather business to be negatively effected by the powers that be. Therefore, a new Youtube channel, Modern Frontiersman, was born... Here I share everything to do with current events, prepping, survival, homesteading, and all things that can effect American's freedom. The key to freedom is self reliance. No people can remain free if they are not self reliant.....this is why it is so important!
