Kent, I’m an old man, 80 years old, but I still dream about being on the trail with those cowboys. I’ve never been on a trail drive, but you bring out the cowboy that I always wanted to be. Thank you, and God bless you and Shannon.

Sometimes my friend, we must love from a distance, i have direct ancestry that fought in the Revolutionary War during the winter of '77, and in the Civil War as well. I wish i could go back to the days of yore m'self. Sometimes we can only honor our lost traditions if we cant achieve it personally. Happy trails to you fella.

Yeah, pretty sure if Kent was thrown back in time to 1877 Oklahoma, he'd fit right in

I would like to think that I would fit right in with 1877. Then summer comes around, and I wonder how them poor people survived without Air Conditioning. Modern convinces sure have made us soft. And yes they were Tough back then. Hope all are well and safe.

@yearginclarke Год назад

@@Jandyg A/C certainly has spoiled us nowadays. I currently live in Redding California, and I simply would avoid this place at all costs if there was no such thing as A/C. Despite being far up in Northern CA this place is still fairly notorious for the really hot summers, and if I'm not mistaken it's the 2nd sunniest city in the U.S. I grew up and have lived most of my life in the nearby mountain areas at 3,500 to 4,000 feet elevation where it's cooler and much easier to deal with not having A/C. I will say the humid areas of the country are a much worse type of heat IMO. But the dry heat of the deserts is no joke either. The first time I went to Phoenix back in July 1998 I was with my dad for summer vacation, he was an OTR driver. We lost our A/C at the New Mexico border and when we showed up at Phoenix at 8 PM it was still 121 and we had to sleep in the truck that night. That was insanely hot to say the least.

@johnpoore474 Год назад

Always enjoy your videos and your cookbooks. My grandma lived to be 100 and her brother was 103. They both told stories about using a farm wagon to haul groceries to their grandparents. They said that their wagon had a small two eye cook stove that was used in the wagon. Soon after the first world war they left Arkansas and moved to Yuma Arizona and farmed there. They moved that stove with them. Sure wish I had it.

@danadribnenki8774 Год назад

I just finished watching this video and reminiscing about the ranch here in Montana that I grew up on in the ‘70s and into the ‘80s. When you got to the part about being in Lebanon Missouri and showing all the draft horses I thought about how much my dad would have liked seeing that before he died. Brought tears to my eyes since he was a cowboys cowboy and I wish he was still here and could have gone there with me. If your dads are still here with you men, take the time to appreciate them for the gift from Jesus that they are. Blessings!😢❤

My grandfather told stories about working on the King Ranch in the 1890s. He was a young blacksmith. During branding season and roundups he was Cookies "gofer". He learned a lot from Cookie and taught those things to my father who passed them on to me. I feel so lucky to have had that privilege.

@myopinion3496 Год назад

Love history & love you Kent & Shannon. My grandfather was born 1889, I was born 1953 so he was 64 when I was born. Lived till he was 89. I learned so much from him of the old ways in my late teens and early 20"s. He was a survivor of the Lost Battalion of WW1, having received the purple heart (wounded twice) and the Silver Star. He taught me so much of the old ways on his small ranch I'm afraid I've forgotten some of it but your channel helps me remember. I wish now I paid more attention!!!

God bless you Kent and Shannon! Love this information! The cowboy is still alive and well! One of my favorite events I look forward to every year is the Tribute to Ranching Rodeo here in southern AZ. The events are what working cowboys do in their daily lives and the lunch has some of the best chuckwagon cooks that travel the west preparing Dutch Ovens loaded with pot roast, carne asada, cowboy taters, beans, chicken fried steak and those amazing biscuits!! All cooked over a mesquite fire. Yeehaw!

@briley672 Год назад

One reason why I came and stayed here with yall is the way you keep the history alive. So these very historical based videos are some of my favorites.

@bertramhalbruner3296 Год назад

Kent, this was an excellent video!! I always enjoy these "history" videos!! Very informative!! When I was a teen ager (16-17) and went to 4-H youth camp, I always volunteered to cook for the whole group. Sometimes cooking for 50-60 teens plus the adult chaperones. I aways did the same for deer camp when a group of us guys would go to New York deer hunting. It's something that gets in your blood! A labor of love that you enjoy in spite of the hard work. Watching everyone chow down and come back for seconds is reward enough!! God Bless you Kent. Hope to meet you someday!

@jerryodell1168 Год назад

The water barrel brought memories. Years ago I read several stories about people traveling west. They would often purchase silver coins which were 100 percent silver then. They would put a couple of coins in the water barrel. The silver helps to keep the water fresher longer.

@jamesmetzler2031 Год назад

That was a great story, Kent. I can't get enough of certain history stories and those of the Old West are some of my favorites. Your knowledge of that time period is amazing. I could listen to you talk on that subject all day. Also, it's always a joy seeing the old chuck wagon. That is the most beautifully restored chuckwagon I have ever seen.

@mackdog3270 Год назад

That's interesting! I've driven that road, going from Texas to Liberal or Dodge city to pick up a load of beef headed to Oakland CA then on to Japan. The stockyards over there were amazingly huge.

@southron1861 Год назад

Great episode! As a reenactor, I can really appreciate what it means to go back in time and live out history. One of my all time favorite events was called Shenandoah 1864 and at that event we were blessed to have all our meals fixed by a camp cook with his own chuckwagon. It really helped to fully immerse you into the time frame and authenticate the event. An experience of a lifetime I'll never forget. Thanks Kent for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. God bless 👍🏻

@jeromethiel4323 Год назад

Not to mention, cookie might be the one who had to dig the latrine! Since the chuck wagon went ahead of the cattle drive itself, he or she was the only one who had time to do things like cook. And probably dig a latrine. Cookie was the first up and usually the last to sleep. You had to have breakfast ready first thing, and then had to ride ahead to start cooking dinner, and then clean up afterwards. Rinse repeat.

Something rarely seen in the movies, a summer kitchen. they were quite common, a separate building that was just a kitchen, dining area utilized in the summer so that the house didn't get so hot from cooking.

@jeromethiel4323 Год назад

These videos remind me of the cooking videos from WW2, they had the same problems a cowboy cook had. They needed to be able to move, they had to feed a lot of people, and they weren't safe. Wish there were more of those, it's hard to see what cooking was like in a warzone.

@brianlykins6663 Год назад

Thank you, Kent and Miss Shannon, for another great video. I thought it was nice to give huge credit to someone that generally doesn't get a lot of recognition. Life of a cattle drive cook wasn't very glamorous. Get up well before everyone else, build the fire, boil the coffee, and cook the breakfast. Load up after everyone saddles up and goes to work. Then, pick up, pack up , rush ahead, and pick a spot for evening meal, get it cooked, and ready for the hands. Then clean everything and get ready to do it all again. Heck of a life, why would anyone in their right mind want a job like that ? Thanks cookie !!!
