…Mohicans Rare Footage .

"Daniel Day-Lewis prepared for the role of Hawkeye by living in the woods for several days and learning to hunt and skin animals. On set, he stayed in character by avoiding modern technology, traveling by canoe, and rolling his own cigarettes. His trusty flintlock

There are somethings you can "act" and somethings you have to "be"
You can't act being familiar and natural in your clothes and with your weapons, Viggo Mortenson did a similar things when filming LotR.. Matt Damon did it in Green Zone and all boot camps that actors go to…
