Within reason yes. As long as it fits with the basic background then I will probably allow it. For equipment, it's safe to assume that most supplies you might need (minus any serious electrical or gas powered items) are either handy or in your possession. These people have lived in these mountains since shortly after the area was first colonized. More than likely, they have amassed a sizeable array of needed items or simply kept the knowledge of how to craft them (rope, for instance, can be commonly found in both store bought and hand made). As for history, by all means, be as creative as you wish. Again, as long as it jives with the framework, go to town :D
