  • Got my coffee!! And I've met Kent several times over the years. Both of you are amazing people. Keep the fire burning
  • @jvleasure
    Helluva crossover. I like my western history on Saturday mornings and pretty much everything I cook, old Kent has something to do with it!
  • Kent reminds me of an old Southern grandpa that you would always go over to his house for a good hearty meal while camping out under the stars, and you would sit round the campfire with him and he would tell you all about his life stories and valuable life advice. Also I'm a sucker for an Oklahoma accent.
  • thanks for your weekly history lesson!! kent and shannon would be the best neighbors ever
  • I don't start my Saturdays before I watch your High Quality content Santee! You should at least thank "Dirty" Dan for the libations! Great video!
  • @caowens77
    Thanks fellas, this one is really making me smile. Playing "Cookie" for my old crew is one of my favorite memories & this really helped bring me back to all those good times. Now I've got to a move on as I've got biscuits burning.
  • @BrendanTheGent
    Love the picture of the wagon with the flag! Dan did an amazing job building the wagon. So happy you got to do this! learned a few things. Like sleeping with the Ingredients for the buiscuits during the colder months. Have a great time at Nightfall! I wish you a wonderful weekend
  • Love it. Nothing beats cast iron and open flames. Got 3 little girls here today told them they had to get quiet so I could get my weekly history lesson in. Great vid thanks for the history

    You are correct, Santee, this is quality and I like that you actually participate in the comment section. Many YouTube channels beg for comments but never bother responding when you do..

  • @mrs.g.9816
    I absolutely love both "Arizona Ghostriders" and "Cowboy Kent Rollins"!

    Great welcomed video - Thanks. It was my fortune to associate and help/learn from Old West artifact pros around Southern Arizona. A premier coach builder let me examine an antique chuck box. It finally dawned on me that a chuck wagon was simply a normal wagon especially outfitted. The chuck part referred to the chuck box. I learned a great deal contemplating on that bit of old wood and how it was constructed. The first lesson was that nothing could afford to be wasted. The chuck box was built from wooden dynamite boxes which were repurposed into a chuck box. The clever assemblage spoke volumes about frontier ingenuity and craftsmanship maximizing all available resources. An Apache warrior friend had fun with me laying on me old trusted and true funnies. He claimed Indians had the exact same skill set but they called it Injunuity.
