A Camp Cook's Guide To Weather Ep. 2 

My grandpa taught me that coffee trick probably 40 years ago. At the time I thought he was just pulling my leg. It wasn't until about 8 years later that I was out in Montana elk hunting, i had my camp on my back and I was miles from any type of civilization. I had checked the weather report before I left and it was supposed to be good weather. (This was before cell phones). Well every morning id brew a cup of coffee and this particular morning i waa pouring it in my cup and i saw the bubble go to the center. I had never payed it any attention before this morning i noticed it. I just shook my head and chuckled and said nahh surely not, the sky was clear and seemed fine to me. I packed up camp and continued on trying to find an elk to harvest. Well sure enough about 3 hours later it blew up a awful storm and all i could think was that I should have listened to my grandpa. Lol. Them old timers knew what they were talking about.

The sound of Miss Shannon's voice is so peaceful and soothing. Y'all are a great fit for each other.

This is priceless! Storytellers like Mr. Rollins are few an far between these days. Thanks for all yours and Shan’s hard work.

Welcome to Cowboy Country's Paul Harvey. Almost makes me wish y'all were on radio, so I could tune in and listen at night.. except we'd all miss the beautiful pictures and actual ambiance while you're weaving your tale. This is the kind of stuff that's priceless.

For your next book, you should do something like "The Cowboy Way" and put in all your stories, tales, and wisdom!! Best seller right there!!! God bless you guys!!

Good food, good stories and great people... Hope you are having a great Sunday

Many decades ago I remember my late grandmother saying, "It's going to rain. I can feel it in my bones". I never knew what she meant until I reached my late 50's / early 60's. The barometric pressure falling causes joint pain. This is another one for your list of nature's weather signs. Thank you for another great video!

I never tire of hearing stories about our Fathers creations! Our Fathers creations are the best Weather Forecasters! I'm an old Country girl from Georgia and my Daddy n Momma always told the weather by walking around in the yard! Momma would tell us girl's to get the clothes off the line bc rains a coming! Lol. Daddy and Momma would tell my brothers to hurry and cover the seeds in the garden they were planting cause rains a coming! They knew and we learned it all from them! Kent. I love the stories you tell about Camp. I know those times were hard. I never lived in a Cowboy Camp but I've lived a Poor ole country girl's life without running water, or inside facilities or without electricity. Had to draw water out of the well for everything from cooking, washing dishes, clothes outside, to baths in an old round tub or the creek. We used oil lamps for light and an old cook stove to cook n heat the house. I lived a rewarding life. Some might say it was hard and in some ways it was but we didn't know no different. Now, I say it was a rewarding life and I could go back to living those days and do it good. Looks like we might get to do that if this world keeps going like it is. Thank you Kent and Shannon for this video. I sure did love that rainbow God painted in that Old Camp.. It was a beautiful sight! God Bless and keep the stories a coming! 🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

Mr. Kent, as much as I like the cooking episodes, I have to say these coffee episodes are just awesome. They are informative and have such an uplifting message. Two things we surely need more of these days. Keep up the good work

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Mr Kent Sir when I was a youngin on the farm I remember my uncle would say if we would see a rainbow when we were in the field that meant that God was watching over the farmers. So I reckon that beautiful rainbow you and Shann and all the other cowboys God was watching over y'all! Thank you and Shann and the pups for all your hard work and time. I enjoy your videos very much!🤠

The Lord blessed you with rain and He blessed all of us with you.

Cowboy Kent is the modern day version of Wishbone from Rawhide. Cook, Dr., Weather man. A trail drive/roundups best friend.

These are a GREAT addition to your channel. Keep em coming!!

Good Afternoon My Good Big Bro Kent Rollins The Cooking Cowboy & My Good Sis Shannon Rollins The Cooking Cowgirl & God Bless You All

Common sense can be taught IF you have a qualified teacher. People like you give me hope! Thanks

I really appreciate both of you, Kent and Shannon. Your kindness, love for your neighbor, and openness about God’s love and the grandeur of His creation are a great witness. It’s a reminder we should praise Him and reflect his love in all that we do.

Kent Rollins:You're one of the most patriotic persons i know of.I wish you health and happiness.🗽👍🐂🐕🐴🐓🐄

Cowboy weather logic ! Don't get your croutons soggy ....thanks for sharing this !

The ever changing environment is the joy/challenge of outdoor cooking.🔥👍

I am extremely envious of these nice people's lifestyles...my goodness. They are so free.

Storms come through scares some causes anxiety to others, worries many. After the storm you see the humanity when people come out from their homes/shelters to help each other, from cleaning up the mess to just enjoying the sunset after that stormy day . Y’all take care out there, good prayers for you and your wife Kent!

Miss Shannon got that peaceful and soothing voice from hanging around cowboy Kent ya know. Thankyou for that story cowboy Kent.

One thing that I've found helpful is taking the National Weather Service's Skywarn training. It teaches you what to look for in the clouds. I really encourage it for anyone who works or is otherwise outdoors in situations where phone/internet service is limited or nonexistent. It's not hard, you don't need a lot of science, and a typical training session lasts only half a day. Best of all, it's free and open to the public.

Thank you Cowboy Kent and ms Shannon fer another great video!!! And on a personal note, Cowboy Kent the Bible teaches that a man that finds a wife ,truly finds a treasure more precious than rubies. As you make references from time to time how ms Shannon, stands with you . May I say The Lord has Truly Blessed you with a Great Treasure!!! Yal keep up the Good work. Looking forward to your next video.

Cowboy Shan we tip our hats to you guys for weathering the storms and the good times see you down the glad to be a live trail

You inspired me to write these words Mr Kent a place where I can roam the place I call home the feelings always good when I come to this place the feeling is always good when I feel out of space I'm thankful to call this place home for when I feel alone by myself and Downtrodden i can always remember at home is where I'm never forgotten I'm thankful for the life that I have and the gifts that you give I smile when you do your jig so keep up the good work and know that we know that home is where we're never forgotten the place that we go thankful for you and the beagle and the pups to thank God I know a cowboy like you I'm thankful for all that you did and you do

THANK YOU SIR...BECAUSE FOLKS UP HERE IN INDIANA CALL ME CRAZY WOMEN BECAUSE I GO BY THE WAYS OF OLD THANKS TO MY ELDERS TEACHING ON WATCHING NATURE..THANK YOU FOR LETTING FOLKS KNOW..IM NOT CRAZY LIKE THEY THOUGHT..GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU SAFE OUT THERE ON THE RANGE!!

Your missus is an excellent photographer. It's a gift to be able to capture natural beauty on film. God Bless! (It was a bit funny to see her speaking at your chest due to the microphone).

You have got you a national treasure in that woman. You too stay safe I will see you on the next video

Good Day Kent. Always enjoy your videos regardless of the topic at hand. You both bring a real joy to what you're doing. As a believer, I really appreciate it when you give God the credit that is due Him when you talk about His creation. By way of encouragement, lets give the Lord credit for the weather too, the good & not so good. He brings trials & tribulations, including challenging weather, to draw us closer to Him, that we may be more & more dependent on Him. Have great day, & God bless you both.

Love the Cowboys and Coffee episodes. Thanks for sharing the great story's Kent!!!

Once again, my hats off to both of you for all that you give, information you provide and just plain old fashion wisdom and for the love you show for our country, veterans and just folks in general. May God be with you both forever. With the love of God almighty, thank you always. Tom

Love the fact that you always have our American flag flying proudly behind you 🇺🇸 📖 🙌🏻

My little dog was really good at forecasting the weather. She would let me know in a heart beat what was to come. I miss her so much 😢❤

Absolutely love listening to your stories and wisdom. You are an icon. Thank you both for sharing!

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in cooking

Kent Rollins AWESOME VIDEO SIR!! I hope to someday I get to meet you and visit with you before I cash in!! You are the real deal sir!! Mrs.Rollins you're a gracious lady ma'am, both of you are what keeps a lot of us old folk's going!!! To you both God Bless and thanks for all you do!!!🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Kent you are truly a TEAM player sir God bless you brother!!✌️🇺🇲

God surely has blessed us. Beautiful light. We have had some rain since Fri through today. Thank you for sharing the blessing and challenges of the cowboy life ❤

Yes, loved it! Beautiful stories, pictures and reminders of the beauty of God's creation, He is a loving Father! ❤ God bless you all! ❤❤

God bless you Kent and Shannon, thanks so much for your stories and love.

Only God can make the perfect rainbow! It takes special people to do these jobs! So many lessons to learn.

I love how that one picture where the rainbow goes from the Teepee to the Chuck wagon. Seems like that's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Even here in Brooklyn, NYC (Port City), we, on the water, respect Ms. Nature. She is one mean *itch!

You're so cool, I'd love to set around a fire with you and listen to stories while enjoying coffee and or some bourbon. Love this!

Kent, as an outdoorsman I'm aware of the coffee bubbles method for weather, and several others too. Great Video.

I work in an outdoors store in the UK, but i still tell the weather from nature. When you can smell a storm or look at the leaves.

Didn’t see it mentioned, but a Maine weather stick is the craziest and pretty accurate way I’ve seen to predict rain. Perfect to nail up to a roof board on a chuck wagon.

Anyone tough and wise as Kent deserves a listen from all of us who venture outdoors. Hunters trappers and us fisherman have a choice when we go, Cowboys don’t. Kent I can imagine never backs down and either did cookie.

My mom always said that pets, wild birds and beasts know way before humans do that some bad change in the weather is going to hit. They seek shelter or head for the hills. I gotta remember your tip about the bubbles on the coffee and barometric pressure. Anyhow, Shannon took lovely pictures of that rainbow! I loved her pre-dawn pictures in the other video. She's a wonderful photographer.

the man the myth the legend

I've always loved listening to the old timers (generations older than myself) tell stories of things they've done or been through in life so I really love listening to these stories as you tell them

Shannon is absolutely beautiful!! Kent you're not to bad yourself lol

God Bless the two of you. Great things about life. So time to cook an COWBOY UP

No cookin, just talkin and coffee drinking-perfect!

Thank you for church this morning! God Bless you! Oh and thanks for the coffee!🙏🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

May God hold you and your wife in his arms and keep you safe healthy and strong for a long time

This is like having one of the old timers from my home town teach you the ways of life. Invaluable sub.

Mornin Kent. The last time i saw a rainbow was on lib's front porch as i drove by while bird-flippin them good blue hair samaritans. Goodness man them blue hairs coming to blue collar neighborhoods is a sight to behold

I love how you always tip your hat to our service Men and Women. 🇺🇲🗽 God Bless 🙏

Shan is quite the artist’ spectacularly talented union ya’all have, Mother Earth cares for us all. Thanks Chef Kent!

Thanks Cowboy Kent Rollins, I'll keep a little closer eye 👀 on the coffee ☕

Shan takes the most amazing pictures. Hope you too are having a great day 3:42

I was reminded of the great German airshipman Dr. Hugo Eckener. His colleagues said that he could smell a storm a hundred miles away, likely because he spent his formative years sailing on Lake Constance (Bodensee) in Southern Bavaria, where Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's first airship took flight on July 4, 1900.

Tks for the shout out to the veterans Kent you are a national treasure 😊

I Look forward to Kent and Shannon Talking! It Is So Calming in Today's Society! They Make Everyday Problems Go Away! I'm Getting better at Looking at What Really Matters In My Life Thanks To Them And The Four Legged Angels! Just Got A New Pup Three Weeks Ago! A Golden Retriver Fifteen Weeks Old! What A Blessing! Thank You For Reminding Us What Is Important In Life! Have You and Shannon Ever Thought of Doing a Video Mix up of Viewer's Four Legged Family! While You May Salute me? I prefer The Hug!!! Thank You Again for sharing

Best RU-vid channel and food. Glad we got some genuine real folk doing good thanks Kent and family.

Kent, this is one of the best phone you’ve ever done, and gave me a warm, feeling inside, sure is dusty in here.

I agree with all the things you said. Being in a career that was outdoors almost all year, it doesn't take too many months to begin to see the signs you speak of regarding weather. Thanks.

Good to visit again , wonderful stories , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Our Scout Troop had a grand time camping this weekend, even if it rained a fair bit.

Love the stories. God bless you, cowboy Kent, and Shan, who supports you no matter what, as you do her through thick and thin. Thank you.

So right Kent. Birds, ants , bugs in general, even your household pets know before we do. If its going to be a stinker of a storm my left knee is pretty accurate a few hours early. Great Vid.

If the American people would watch and listen they would learn sumpin I know I did for sure,, thanks Cowboy and Cowgirl,, a great life lesson,, god bless ❤

This channel and her pictures remind me of why people ever become cowboys. I remember a line from an old movie. "Cowboyin' is something you do when you can't do nothin' else." But it ain't all bad. I can see that.

Here by the Great Salt Lake (what’s left of it) we can tell a real storm from a small one by smell. Front comes over, super cools the surface, it sinks and brings the bottom layer up. The front sucks that up and dumps it on us as “lake effect” snow. Some don’t like the smell of that lake bottom, but to me it smells like goose hunting.

Thank You and a good share. My boyfriend went to Sonny's funeral yesterday and is so missing those open spaces. He has always said and when you see the tarantulas walking everywhere in a hurry a good rain is coming!

Watching the smoke low to the ground is one I've heard and seen all my life, and have never seen fail. Have you ever had a fire going in Bertha, and it sounded like someone walking in snow? Put them long handles on for sure.

You definitely found that pot of gold at the end of that rainbow cowboy Kent! Thank you for sharing those wonderful stories, tips on forecasting the weather and for that delicious cup of cowboy coffee! Bless y’all!

Thank you for this. God does give us signs all the time....whether through the creatures He created or something else. Loved this episode. Beautiful stories and pictures. God bless you Mr. Rollins.

God, bless you 🙏 kent, you really are one of a kind

Wow, the last bit about weathering the storm and stepping out of the comfort zone to be comfortable really hit home! I might be making a big move soon and I’ve been terrified but I think God wanted me to watch that today, everything will be ok if we all just pray. Thanks for all that you do, and God bless you and Shan!

Kudos to Shannon on staying in the saddle. The tips on reading weather was great, you reminded me of some, particularly about coffee. God Bless.

Kent and Shan we love these stories. Rochelle and I always watch your video's together and we both like to see you as well Shan. I was a chef/cook for 28 years and would love to work with folks like you on a ranch. God bless. Mike

God bless you and your Loved ones Mr Rollins. New subscriber here and been watching as many videos as I can. You remind me of home. I grew up on cast iron cooking and the old cowboy way of life living. We're a dying breed now a days. Prayers that you and your lovely Ms Shannon keep up with the awesome work you're doing. Thank you for everything you do

Great video you’re an inspiration for many. Thanks for honoring the veterans.God Bless

You are one of my favorite story tellers 😊🇺🇸

dearest Mr. Kent, please continue with such videos, I do appreciate it a lot, God bless you, dear sir

Bloody Legend!!

Great job with all the weather information Kent and the beautiful pictures Shannon. Mother Nature does some awesome things and some we don't understand but we have to pray for those affected badly by the storms and those who were not affected need to give thanks for being watched over. Thanks for all the things you put into your third cookbook , I'm still reading it and having a great time with it. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you folks always share. Fred.

Nice one Kent and Shannon 🌈Favorite Rainbow pic was Tepee to Wagon with Escarpment background.. VERY Pretty🏕

Just finished "Comfort Food"! Just as good as the first two! Loved it! I don't outdoor cook any more but my son has a small farm and cooks a lot on his outdoor grill and smokers so he gets the books when I'm done for the wonderful recipes! Thanks folks!

Love the story kent, brings back a lot of great memories. Keep up the greart work , love it!! Semper fi ken

Can't tell you how much I enjoy these! Fascinating stories and info. I used to see those wooly caterpillars & you could tell what kind of winter was ahead. I haven't seen one in 15 years, don't know why.

Thank you Cowboy Kent And Shan. I love the Photos and the Stories of strength ❤. JO JO IN VT 💞🇺🇲

God Bless you from Alaska, my Grandfather was an old cowboy , I love your stories 😊

Tell me a story Kent! Ah... thank you so much! 😁

Dear Kent, I enjoy all your vids and am especially enjoying this Cowboys and Coffee series. You make some very good points about the weather, my Nan's the same who always knows when there's a change in the weather from simply observing nature (she's from Irish farming family, so knows a thing or two) Much love from across the pond Take care All the best, Dave (and Buddy the doggy)

Being an outdoor guy, I knew about the ants by observation but didn't know about the coffee trick or fire smoke. Thanks!
