I guess the people who disliked Didn’t get a good nights sleep
YEAH! On the hard ground.
😂😮👍
only yellow bellied thumb suckers dislike the videos.
@@tulemike6627 Those yellow bellied thumb suckers all sleep in pajamas under polyester blankets. Lol
Someone stole their bedrolls. And their Swiss Rolls.
The dislikes are from the Pinkerton detective agency
HA!
Hey, we didn’t dislike nothin’ !
God damn Pinkerton's!
No they’re not lol I worked there and love his vids lol
The comments section never fails to dissapoint. 😂
If Dan took your line, then you should take his Swiss Cake Rolls.
Yeah!
😆
How do you make a Swiss Roll? Push him down a mountain!
From what I’ve heard of Dan, you can’t take anything from him he isn’t willing to give you.
How dare you!!!! I was craving Swiss cake rolls (Little Debby make them better).
Whenever I watch any of these videos I always wake up the next morning feeling great and so does my love for the wild west 🤠 including my appreciation of what I have today, because let's be honest who doesn't appreciate indoor plumbing 🚿🛁🚻🚽💩
Right?!? HA!
Nothin' sweeter than a sleeping Rex, is 'ere?
Right?
Rex is actually coldblooded so he no need no stinkin' blanket! He just like to be stylish...
@@CaliforniaFly Actually he needs it, even more than we do. That's also why snakes like baking in the sun.
Whoa now! Little Debbie cakes! Hmmm - time for breakfast.
HAHA!
And I'm watching this while workin' on a fresh perked pot of coffee. Those would be great on this 12 degree morning!
Yup
@@unionrdr too lazy to perk a pot, but in my Kcup machine I've got REAL Arbuckles cowboy coffee so nah-nah-nah ....LOL and it's 14 here......
I love having you as a resource for my students. My favorite time to teach is the Westward migration and the wild west. The kids are always stunned that the pioneers didn't sleep in the wagon and thag they walked and didn't ride. Oh and the fact that there were no bathrooms along the way also throws them. Lol.
Yeah? That is so cool to see that they are interested in it.
Teacher April
Keep on teaching 'em and instilling a love for America's past. That and Truth are all that can save America.
@@michaelpriest6242 ❤️
Thank you so much for teaching your kids about the Old West! I think you probably couldn’t find a better resource than Santee for this! Keep instilling knowledge and a love for America AND it’s past in our students! They need it!
Thank you for teaching. My kids really miss the interaction with their teachers. On line is just not the same.
I like my old ranger roll we used when I was with the Marines. Poncho and poncho liner tied together and rolled up with some dry socks! Woobie!
Cool info!
😂Dan and the Swiss Rolls! What a dirty dog bringing those out of his backyard! Keep em coming Santee!
-Nick 😃👍
Prescott, AZ
LOL!
Thanks for a great video I can sleep anywhere the ground or my truck or my bed now I know all of the history of the bed rolls about the cowboy way of the good life 🤠
Glad you enjoyed it
The old TV westerns had magic bedrolls. Posse would take off out of town for the bad guys. They had bedrolls on the horse. Come night, they would sit around a fire with pots, pans, coffee pot, eating utensils, bottles of whiskey, etc. All carried in those small bedrolls behind the saddle. 😂
Yes. Magic
@@ArizonaGhostriders the bad guy horses were also turbo charged. They would leave 10 minutes ahead of the posse and it took the posse 5 days of hard riding to catch up. All within 1 hour of a Bonanza episode🫣🤣
@@Buddygold9509 Good catch!
Excellent Santee. I reenact Civil War and have quite a collection of blankets and coverlet. Great info. 👍
Thank you!
Awesome video!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, thank you for sharing it. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 😊
Thank you, I will
Great episode! I love my bedrolls for camping here in Arizona! The ability to tailor it to the season/weather has made it a perfect fit for me. Sure it’s bulkier than a sleeping bag, but it’s warmth and room to roll around in makes up for it! (Feels kinda cool too! 😜)
That is awesome!
Awesome as always
Thank You!
your humor is priceless.
Thank You!
Always great to see Dan and his trusty German
Yavolt!
That dog has so much energy I love it 🥰
Yup
I have used a WW 1 canvas bedroll used by an uncle who was an officer in the Field Artillery in France 2 Dark Grey Hudson Bay blankets, sheets and even a small pillow were part of the Kit. Nice and comfy in Northern Michigan chilly summer nights. Tents we used were WW II surplus rectangular one's courtesy of a club member who was a retired general who served in Europe with his activated National Guard Division one of the rare NG Commanders to be retained. Current issue gear is very good with improvements ongoing.
Great info!
As always a great video. Real entertaining to begin the weekend, Thanks. PS. Love the illustration at the end. As always God Bless Texas as save America 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Thank you!
Dad carried a Buffalo robe for his bedrole. It was as warm enough that he said that he could sleep comfortably even when it was snowing. I am sure he carried a slicker of some kind that acted as a ground cloth to keep moisture out as well.
They are extremely warm, them buffalos!
Our ancestors were a whole lot more hardy than we are today. Loved the Spanky clip 😁
Thanks!
Another video from you to start a relaxing Saturday morning. Can never get enough of these!
Glad to hear it!
Love ur videos Santee!!!
Thanks!!
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes sir
Watching your videos brings back good memories of my and my grandpa talking about the old west thanks for your amazing video's
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much. Been want to make one for a while.
Go for it!
Great stuff...thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Prior to the railroads in the 19th century west, wagon trains would carry logs slung underneath the wagon. If no wood was available on the plains for the night, a small piece was chopped off for the evening and breakfast meals.
They were very resourcefull back then.
Santee! Your intro was super dynamic!!!!!!👍👍👍👍 send me the swiss rolls is you don't want them 😋😋😋 dam auto correct🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL! Glad you liked it. Swiss Rolls went to Dan and his family. They aren't my favorite!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Hi Santee another fantastic entry into the wild west., and bed rolls are still a thing today gotta be good if they atill are used :)., the ending made me laugh, have an amazing week mate.,
Thank you Izeak!
@@ArizonaGhostriders +my pleasure Santee
This is good work, congrats & thx
You're welcome.
Great to see Ringo Star in an old West post
Indeed!
Non-western fact the great kilt or the Feileadh Mòr was like the bed roll of the 16th century Scottish Highlander as well as a raincoat, to keep warm, and ,shelter.
WHoa! Thanks for that!
love your videos
Much appreciated.
I love your videos they're great
Thank you!
Awesome video you rock
Thank you!
Very interesting video, Santee while being frikkin hilarious!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Anyone who is or was in the infantry knows very well about a bed roll for sleeping on the ground. It wasn’t just those guys back then, some of us still do to this day.
I'm sure it's part of the job. Thanks for your service.
I missed this one! Great video. Very educational and entertaining.
Thank you!
Great video Santee
Thanks! take care.
Another great episode! Thinking an episode on dancing in the old west would be cool. Bonus if we get to see Santee and Rex dance!
I might do that!
Awesome video guys like always!! Really enjoyed seeing how they carried the necessities with them if they didn't have a wagon, horse or pack mule. Dan, dirty dog looks amazing. See y'all down the trail 🤠
DD should give Dan a bath!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Santee, El Queso Más Grande! Good video!
Si! Gracias, compadre.
I’ve been wanting to go camping more to escape my life of part time work and de stress more and just enjoy myself I can also camp in my backyard and I’ve been thinking of setting up a Glamoing tent setup with a dresser and bed and cooking equipment and foot locker as I live with my folks and wanna be sorta independent. And I love the outdoors.
Sounds great!
Heard that the dog catcher caught Dirty Dan & Dirty Dog in town w/o the mandatory leash. Did it really take him a week and a bundle of money to get Dan released?? .... Only you guys can make something like bedrolls interesting & a fun learning experience . Had a 5th. grade teacher like that... Best 4 years of my life!
Thank you!
I seriously love your videos I love the humor that's in it too
Thank you! I enjoy making them.
The bit at the end was hilarious!
Thank you!
Interesting about the bedrolls, I’ve an original Wool Mexican Poncho
Very nice
Really good video!
Glad you think so!
Hi amigos, logistics in the old west! That's the thing ! Great stuff, keep the great work ghostriders.
Hey, thanks!
Something never really thought about before very interesting thank you another great video as usual hope you have a good weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Great info on the chocolate roll and great video. Keep up the good work. Love the western facts.
Thanks so much!
Aww Rex!! Going to have to get me a Swiss roll now 😋 yum!
Hope you enjoy
It was -24 F here in Minnesota Sunday morning at 2 thirty AM.
I have a chicken coupe heater in my bedroom to keep the chills away. And some home made afghans. Circumvent the bed roll when I toss over.....😜👍😎💖
That is awesome!
Oh you clever devil well done i completely missed them ....bummer better luck next time going to have to keep my readers clean !
No worries. Like I said, they were really hidden. My wife didn't find them either.
Good one. My bed roll this last few days hunting javelina near the Mexican border, was a comfortable bed in Marana. Worked like a charm.
So cool! Glad it worked out, Ralph. Sorry we couldn't meet up.
@@ArizonaGhostriders We will, one day soon
That was the Time🤗!...💘
🤠
Very good to see you're still uploading.
Haven't stopped since 2016. Wow. It'll be 5 years come July.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I understand if I'm saying this too early, but can you make a video on the Henry rifle? It's my grandads favourite gun from the west.
Certainly. I think I mentioned it in my repeating rifles video.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll have a look
Captain Randolph B Marcy gives the basic idea of the bedding for travel in his 1859 book and not much had changed when Horace Kephart wrote his Camping and Woodcraft in 1906. To bad you couldn't get a blanket today as thick as they were back then.
He does. I've mentioned his book before, and I believe Dave's article refers to it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I think Marcy and Parkman are the only real sources of the pre Civil War western travel unless you get diaries of travelers.
@@57WillysCJ Also: The Emigrant's Guide to California, Joseph E. Ware (1849)
@@57WillysCJ Oh, and this one: The National Wagon Road Guide, Whitton, Towne & Co. (1858)
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks. I want to read the one the Donner Party used to see where it steered them wrong and the reason for Marcy's book. Also the Daily Life in a Covered Wagon. Although the latter is pulled from from diaries and I couldn't verify it not being changed. Still it should bring some interesting information on daily life.
Wow you really had me wrapped up on that one.
I didn't have you rolling?
Learn something new with every episode. Who knew there were no Motel 6’s! No seriously, very informative.
Glad you learned something.
Now thats AWESOME Big Cheese :)
Thank you Much appreciated.
I almost didn't watch because I didn't think this was going to be that interesting. But, then I thought I'd watch to see if Rex showed up. It was more interesting than I thought.
Thanks. I always strive to make it interesting.
Okay, nap time... after one of those Swiss Rolls (and by ONE I mean a package!).
💨 🔫 🤠
LOL!!
I keep a bedroll under the back seat of my pickup for emergencies, cause you never know.
Right
Man thanks Santee for this information I Just Look it Up Last Week 😎🤙
No problem 👍
Where does Rex sleep? Any where he wants! The blankets are also known as Melton Blankets, thses were made froma woolen tweed woven material developed in Melton Mowbery England. Also make top quality horse blankets.and clothing.
Yes, early on they were made in England.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I thought sheep were hated out West as they stripped pasture.
Hey Swiss rolls are pretty good. Plenty of them can be found on online surplus stores.
Yes
I'm with Dan, there were Swiss Rolls in the west
LOL!
We call them swags, here in Australia. The same setup and use.
Swags. Great info, thanks!
Yall should make a discord . I think it would become a source of info and a good community
Thank you!
Hey Santee,
Can you do one on hideouts?,
Kayden
Sure!
I noticed the western painting you showed during the video was a CM Russell. 1908-09. I have another one of his from that series in my man cave. I love the old western painters! I have a F Remington as well.
Very cool! I have that painting "In Without Knocking" on my wall. One of my fav's.
@@ArizonaGhostriders The one I have is cowboys on horseback having a shootout outside a place called, " The Palace". I like how all the western painters painted from life!
Santee, I have slightly off topic question. What did the people use for their home bedding? Was it the same? Also, how did they treat bedbug infestation?
Bedding could be made of cotton, wool, straw, whatever. They had a lot of ways to combat bedbugs, from plant ash to building the beds out of sassafras wood. Even coating the wood in arsenic...which is pretty bad.
I’m so glad technology has advanced. Sleeping on the cold hard ground sux....
Some love it.
hehe, autocorrect 😜 Great episode 🌞
Thank you!
This is something I have been waiting to see
Lotta info packed in there.
This is silly...
I loved it
Good! Little history, little humor
YAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE
Good.
When I go camping I carry 60lbs plus, I don’t have a horse or mule I am the mule haha, I do carry wool and a tarp I don’t use tents so I’m old school in a way, and of course my food, water ,everything adds up
Cool!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you
I'm spoiled now. These days I don't go anywhere without 1-3 "My Pillows".
🤠
Hey Santee! I am not sure I would like sleeping out beneath the wagon in places where rattlesnakes were common! Speaking of Little Debbie Snack Cakes you should check out their heart-shaped Be My Valentine Strawberry Cakes. They're really good and would make a nice snack for you and Mrs. Santee. Just make sure you hide them from the Dan The Swiss Cake Roll Man! Lol!
HAHA! Thanks, Pamela. I appreciate it.
Hi. Can you do one on toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving kit, mirror, and stuff like that? Thanks.
Certainly
@@ArizonaGhostriders - Thanks. Even though the west might be dusty and rough it's important to still be clean and presentable like a gentleman.
Sleeping on the ground constantly wouldn't be much fun, but at least if you used a wool blanket you could stay warm! Man, auto correct gets you, and then Dan teases you with the Swiss Rolls!
It happens. Sigh...
I've also wondered how Rex became a thing, I know how bill became a staple, but not rex
There's a video in the Description Field "Ghostriders Q & A" which explains it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Red actually does exist, though much smaller. Santee edits his size 😂
@@jerseyred9554 😆
Thank you for nother great video. You have answered one question for me in the past. I have another one. At the end of this video,you are standing in front of a sign that says 2 bits... Have you done one on fractional currency of the day? What was it? I have quite a few in my personal collection. 3c silver, 3c nickel, half dime, 20c silver, 2c sheild.. When it says 2 bit.. What is 2 bit? How much can you get? Please and thank you.
I was going to start coins and such this week, but I think I'll save it for the next.
Great job Santee. I slept on bed rolls on & off during my 40+ years when I was truckin'.
Since my last back surgery in '16 I have been sleeping on the bedroom floor with one .
Nice piece bout Dave and great to see Dan and 🐕
Thanks, Rusty!
🥃
There are two video cover how to make bed rolls. But the one video for horses is made by the 11th Ohio cavalry is the 1850s- 60s military way. The video made by Civil War Digital Digest can probably be used in more diverse impressions due to personal preference and were used to replace a knapsack.
Cool. Dave's article also goes into it in detail.
How did cowboys sleeping rough on the trail avoid being covered in tarantulas, scorpions or even snakes
Experience. There's also a tale of them putting a rope around the camp and the critters would not cross it.
Does Rex have trouble rolling his blanket there?
I have to do it. Arms, you know. Small.
You got lucky.
Those swiss rolls are great, way better than nasty hoho's.
You got that right!
I would not survive with a bedroll, I had to buy an 9 inch air mattress just to go camping! And those Hudson's Bay blankets are still as popular up here in Canada today as they were back then(especially how when it is nearing -40 at nights or during the day with windchill!).
That's good to know the blankets are still used.
Hey sante could you talk about Pants in the old west
yes
MMmmmm, Swiss Rolls! What were the Slickers made of? I have a couple Dusters, one of cotton and one of Oil Cloth but that one you show in the video was pretty slick and shiny! Great video as always Santee!
The Talmas were rubberized with India Rubber. The later "slicker" was also known as a "Fish Slicker" was linseed oil impregnated. There were (and are) waxed coats, too.
More Spanky!! 😁
🤠
My wife snores just like Rex! 😨
HAHA!
Id want a bedroll with pictures of Bettie Page
HaHa!
ha ha ha.... panning the camera on Dirty Dan when saying Paleolithic is irony defined !!!! Thanks Cheese !
HA!
