The authenticity, pride, quiet integrity, and love for the cowboy way of life is what shines through here. The combination of Kent's storytelling, Shannon's perspective as the one capturing these lovely moments to an image, and the music so expertly mixed in the background puts us into the experience to enjoy. Love this. I swear I can smell the wood smoke and hear the wind blowing through camp.
Amen, Susan. Amen and very well said!!
You nailed it Susan 👍👍👍👌
I was feeling the same vibes watching, it took me to a happy place. 👌🙂♥️
thanks to you all, we are thinking about doing some of these each month, please share with your friends
Love this idea. Great job.
❤ The beauty in the surroundings and Shannon's work here is indescribable. Always love Shannon's work, but it really shines here. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Kent, I'm learning so much from you about outdoor cooking. I've been an outdoor castiron girl all my 69 years; but there is always something to learn. Nothing beats the taste that a wood fire adds to food.
YES!!! More of these. I am a photographer. Shannon, you ARE a professional photographer. You care about your shots, you recognize and strive for quality and you know what a "good shot" is. THAT is a professional.
My 95 year old mom (who was married to a real old timer cowboy, named George) watched your show with me. George moved from Colorado by a horse drawn wagon as a kid. Mom has passed now, but every time I see you on I remember how she loved watching your show. This episode is dear to my heart, reminding me of that woman I loved SO much and that cowboy that took her heart from hello. Thanks SO much for doing what you do. Loved this episode!
Wow Shan you sure got a keeper in that picture( Kent❤).
It's awesome to hear the Stories of your adventures 🤗.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Oh yeah, I truly love this. I got to know some real cowboys in western Colorado when I was a teen. I wasnt a cowboy as there was so much more to learn. But I got to do some cowboy work and get to know some fine people. And horses! ☺ And Dogs! 😊
Thank you for sharing and God bless.
Kent please keep telling these stories! Your story telling is one of the greatest things that endeared me to this channel. Shannon, don't sell yourself short! The pictures in your and Kent's cookbooks are beautifully composed, and show the world that you are the consummate professional.
I am a retired rancher from Idaho... I have to admit that I miss the cowboy poets and story tellers! Most if not all are great and provide a method to handing down and keeping alive those truly, "oral traditions!"
We raised our family in Idaho. Great country and people. Blessings to you, friend.
Kent is not only a great chef, he is one of the most fantastic story tellers that I have encountered. Together with Shannon, it becomes a masterpiece. Thank you as always for another video and greetings from Scotland, UK.
Mr. Gold, I'm sorry to disagree with you. Kent (and he'll probably tell you this himself) is a cook. A CHEF make food that looks good. A COOK makes food that tastes good. I'll go with a cook every time. Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out, lol!!
@@scottswan3722 : Thank you, Scott! I stand corrected sir. Strangely enough, I grappled with chef vs cook as I was commenting...
Can’t ever go wrong with a Cowboy story. In camp or on the range, you just can’t go wrong.
As I said from the first video of yours I saw, you open a portal to our history no one else does. The true life of a cowboy, the hard work of working herds to feed the people they will never meet but know it has to be. Yes, please, keep this heritage and tradition alive in all ways. Shannon captures moments in time of both today and long ago, not pictures, the essence of life of a cowboy and the chuck wagon cook that tends to their lives.
Hi there can we get to know each other better ??
Kent, this touched something deep inside me, and I couldn’t keep the tears from coming to my eyes. God bless you and yours!
I know exactly what your saying brother.. felt same feeling
I also felt that. A tear escaped my eye as well.
Kent … you and Shannon are such great story tellers, I could sit and listen for hours … or until the coffee ran out … thank you both for sharing your lives with us … 😎
Coffee? Got some?. Mmmm Mmm, thank you
I just wanted to thank you for the podcast! It isn't everything that get this old water pump in my eyes to flowing, but the pictures convey so much, they show us what a great tradition rich in respect, Love for God and Country that so many take for granted. The comradery of those who love it like you and Shannon do! May God shine his face on you, and light the trails that you travel down. Blessings from a brother who loves this land like I know you two do also !
Thanks so much and God bless you
I love story telling, it brings me back to my childhood and around the campfire. Cowboy stories are the best, the way things were, the way things still are. I know I would like to see and hear stories like you do with a good morals and Christian values about 10 - 15 minutes long. Author Zane Grey got me reading as a kid.🤠
Hello handsome are you single can we get to know each other better....
I'm single no kids needs a serious relationship kindly reply if you're interested
I love hearing y’all talk about the ranch life. “Behind the Picture” is a perfect name for these segments.
I love this concept. It makes what you do more personal and more real, at least to me. Having grown up in eastern Montana in the 50s and 60s it's good to actually see that the spirit of the cowboy and love of freedom and independance still exists. Thank you so much. ❤
YES !
Amen
@@ellenirwin8965 hi
Hello 👋 Mary. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
@@markclifford1857 I'm from Alamosa
We love watching and listening to you and Shannon. My wife and I met in horseback, God blessed us to raise 7 children together and everyday is an adventure. Blessings to you, Shannon and the channel. He is Risen!
I really love your stories and cooking. I can sit and listen to you all day. I came across your channel in 2021 when I caught covid and was sick for 30 day's. Watching you cook and listening to your stories help me get through that tough time in my life.
Kent is such a wholesome and kind guy, if i could choose anyone to have a meal with it would be him ( a meal that he cooked of course )
For a title, how about something very simple, such as, “Scenes from Camp.”
That would be such a fantastic experience to have a great meal with such an amazing person.
He is the cowboy cookie version of Mr. Rogers or Bob Ross.
I am moving back to Kent's neck of the woods soon. And I would love to sit down with him for a cup of coffee someday.
I'd rather have a meal with Kent and Shan than any famous person in the world.
I really like these types of real, American videos of cowboy life. They have a historical aspect that we, as a nation, should keep alive.
I feel so privileged to see and hear this! Please share more with us! And thank you to the cowboys!
So thankful you and Shannon are here Kent. You keep something alive in all of us that we want to hold onto even though our lives today get in the way. I never miss a video, and usually comment, but this one is very special. You guys are on to something big here! Love you guys, take care, be safe and keep those videos rolling! God Bless !
I would love to see more of these! God bless you Cowboy and Mrs. Rollins.
Hello handsome are you single can we get to know each other better....

Can't wait to watch this when I get home!!! Love cowboy story time haha. Thank you for all you do to be positive, uplifting and clean on youtube for all family to watch. God Bless
This story is really, True Grit. Cowboy's working in all kinds of weather, little pay, and long hours, yet this is what they love the most. God bless them all.
I really enjoy these Tales from the Trail. It is very inspiring to hear tradition, dedication, and love for life, is still alive and well in today's world. Please, more stories.
Well, Shannon, I am a professional photographer and will say you absolutely nailed it. Photography at it's core isn't about settings, or technique, or the latest and greatest gear ... it's about communication and telling a story. In that regard, I could not have done better! Fantastic shots! On an unrelated note ... are you guys familiar with Harold Holden (cowboy/western artist from Enid)? I've photographed him a few times ... I mention it because Kent reminds me of him with the same gentle and wholesome manner. Loved this video .... more please.
Unfortunately the photography is dead around 2010.... when the technology grabbed all!!!💪 blessed channel
This combat vet loves every story and every recipe. It’s always a joy to see my alerts when a new video posts. I really like this story behind the picture episodes and can’t wait to listen to more. Keep up the good work y’all!
You nailed it! After I finished boot camp and headed out to my first Navy duty station, my Momma gave me a camera and said: "Now you are going to visit places and see things your father and I will never get to see. I want you to take lots of pictures so you can share your adventures with us." That started my 40 year career as a professional photographer. Sharron, keep taking those pictures and sharing your adventures with us. Thank you so much.
This is very humbling in a lot of ways. It’s a wonderful authentic distraction from all the stuff going on now days and yet bring you into a life that is simple yet hard, fun yet challenging and you can get obsorbed into the stories. Life is gods hands is biscuits and coffee @ 4am.
Hats off to Shannon for such fabulous pictures, and to Kent for being there when he was needed the most. May the Good Lord Bless you both.
That was such a great story and the way you talked about Gary I could actually feel the calm nature he brought to the camp. I hope you will share more of your ranch stories with us.
Kent and Shannon are a treasure. A true look into cowboy life and fine dining!!!
Photo's in the Life and Time of Kent and Shannon Rollins, Stay Safe, Remember History, And Thanks For The Memories...God Bless...America, The Beautiful...
I did like this type of video. As I get older I find myself appreciating when people take time to keep things alive and remembering the past. I love your cooking videos but these are cool too.
When I was deployed overseas in the Army, it was always the cooks who had the hardest job-up before dawn and finally heading to bed long after sundown. Thanks for showing us the cowboy side of things.
The Way It Is -- Is The Way It Was
You and Shannon are keeping alive a way of life that built this country -- hard work, honesty, integrity, honor, neighborliness -- these are the foundations of this country. Thank you so much for all your programs. If I could see ONE that would wind my crank, would be one devoted to your crew of quality control experts and how they became such important parts of your family.
Kent and Shannon, I for one appreciate you and your dedication to keeping this way of life alive. Many people have roots in the west, from wagon trains to more modern traditions. Yet, we cannot imagine the dangers, hardships and ingenuity that existed on a daily basis. We are surely spoiled now due to these sacrifices of cowboys and their families. I find it an honor to follow your videos and imagine what those who experienced these conditions must have endured. A title? Cowboy Country Continues. I thank the Lord for good people like you all and for your willingness to share. Blessings and prayers to you all.
Most stories of our lives go untold. The experiences between people of like mind, work ethics, and faith are the greatest experiences our creator wanted us to experience and learn from. Thank you for sharing yours! God bless you and Shannon both!
Yes. I think more campfire stories are warranted. You delve into the “how to” as well as the history. I’m not sure if you have any apprentices out there but this new trajectory will inspire and educate those of us that want that kind of knowledge. It’s easy to boil water on the prairie but to do it the right way….well it gonna take you to teach us.
The cowboy life is a real life that most don't really know anything about and this kind of life was key in making this country a Great Nation. Great content.
THANK GOD FOR COWBOY KENT ROLLINS !
I really love these stories, as it helps me understand, in some small way, what you and the cowboy's life was like during a cattle drive. Loved the pictures as they really captured those very early mornings and sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. Please keep these stories coming our way.
Loved this video!!! We get an appreciation for y’all’s life experiences in these “Tales from the Chuck Box”
YES, MORE PLEASE!!!
Because of the reasons everyone else is saying. 👍👍👍.
You've lived it. Share it. Pass it on for us to learn from. And others to remember by. ❤
This gave me chills, you two. This reminds us that you folks have earned your stripes the hard way. Thank you.
Would definitely love to hear more of your personal stories of your life and time on the ranches. Would also love to hear more about the history of cowboys and ranches in general which I know you have covered quite a bit but I always love me some history. Can never get enough!
These are great shots Ken; it's hard to believe Shannon isn't a professional photographer! Her photographs capture the real essence of the cowboy life out on the plains, the real west! Keep on filming these great stories!
Shannon, Former New York Times picture editor here, your frames are classic and extremely worthy of praise. Keep taking them and more importantly, sharing them with us. Bravo
This is great stuff! Your history is like storytime from another era. Please keep it going!
I do always enjoy the cooking videos. But its always nice when you do something different. Like the home remedies, or some cowboy history. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Brings back so many memories from my early childhood. Great grandma had the coffee brewin and bacon and eggs a coookin. Great grandpa would load us up in the hay wagon and set out to round up the cows. The sites, the sounds, the smells of that old ranch are with me forever. Kent and Shannon, thank you for what you do. You remind me that there is still good is this world.
I can just imagine sitting around a campfire listening to kent and shan's stories. It just seems like all would be right in the world
Thank you Kent and Shan for sharing the stories behind the great pictures! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you reminisce and walk down memory lane with you. I would love to see more of this type of content from you! I look forward to the next installment your Cowboy Camp Collection! God bless you both!
Loved this Kent! As usual you nailed the video and you single handedly got me into grill and bbq’ing! Thanks for all you’ve done you’ve got me though some sad times in my life with your happy and amazing videos! God bless and thank you from England
Shannan and Kent
This is what it's about!
You have brought it out with this video.
Not that you haven't hit the ball out of the park on all the others, but you have put a face on real working people with this video. Thank you for the recognition.
The stories of our past are dying with each generation. When you can see and hear about the American Cowboy and camp talk, it's priceless. Please keep them coming. Shannon's pictures truly capture the essence of cowboy life. Thank you both for what you bring to this country that so needs "simple" back in it with God.
GREAT!!! Enjoying the "behind the scenes" of the trails as " Cookie" meets the ramblers. Shannon IS a professional photographer with an excellent eye for photos that tell a story. Kent's tales and Shannon's photos is an incredible combination. We now have all three your cookbooks. Thanks.
Seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of said pictures is great. It's a great look at how the men and women of today can see what real cowboys and ranchhands are. I look forward to more of these.
Hello 👋 Darren. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Kent I sure appreciate your videos, as much as most of us do. I just want to thank you for keeping the West alive. And your patriotism🇺🇸 and most importantly your love of the lord. God bless you.🙏
Kent and Shannon, You are so blessed to have captured the "Classic Cowboy Life" at it's best! Kent we love your cooking shows, but you and Shannon managed to jerk a tear with this video, because it capatures what so many think is long gone. We would love to see you produce more videos like this, showing the hard work that these cowboys still put in, long before most city folk rise in the morning. Consider the title "Classic Cowboy Life" because we think it captures it well! By the way, Shannon, your photography and videography is amazing, so keep up the great work! We love ya both! 🙂
God bless you Kent Rollins for being the kind spirit you are and keeping the cowboy tradition alive for the future generations. Happy trails......to you and yours.
I truly enjoyed this storytelling and picture time. Enjoyed it very much. I liked that both of you spoke, Shannon sharing her filming and experiences being out there really added to it. PLEASE do more of these Sunday pics and chats.🤠💟 📸 📚 ☕️
Kent, I love the videos where you are just telling a story. And then to hear the story of some of these pictures from both you perspective and Shannon's is amazing. Please make more like this.
This was a refreshing and much enjoyed change of pace. I would love to see more of this video journal type of content. Kent, you have got to have enough pictures and stories from decades of cowboy life to keep us all entertained for many years to come, and I am eagerly waiting and hoping you will bless us with your tales of those experiences. Thanks again for being such an absolute BOSS ! ! !
Hi
Can we get to know each other better
Great job both of you! Keep "Stories from the Chuck Wagon" coming
Hello 👋 Mitchell. How are you doing? Hope you are fine.
Kent and Shannon, I have all three of your cook books. What I appreciate the most about your cook books are the recipes that have stories and pictures associated with where they came from or how you have cooked those dishes on the trail. Shannon, I think what really makes a good photographer is knowing when to pick up the camera and capture a moment. Finding the spirit of the moment is much more important than knowing all the camera settings. Shannon, your pictures are amazing and I thank you for capturing those moments and sharing them with all of us. This video was excellent and I hope you do make it a series.
Thank you Kent & Shannon!
You two (and the pups) really produce such beautiful work. Kent’s cookin, story tellin and Shannon’s professional photography is so very genuine. Together, you give so many people a glimpse into a better, simpler way of life. It’s such a peaceful beautiful thing. Keep it up.
My title suggestions would be:
“A new look into the old west” “Keepin the west alive”
“Modern day cowboys”
Thank you for recognizing our veterans and flying our flag so proudly each and every day. May God continue to bless each and every one of ya!
Thanks and God bless you
Kent and Shan, never question the value of sharing your stories with everyone. Doing that, is a big part of the traditions you are keeping alive. Keep it up and keep them going! 🤠👍
I love all your videos. This is a great series to add to the channel. To hear your stories to the pictures and just live on the trail, is fascinating to me. Thank you for all you do. Shannon, you are a great photographer. Seeing your photos today and hearing the stories makes me want to get back into photography. I did it as a college student and still love to take pictures. Now my pictures are of nature, kids and families. Keep the fun coming!
Kent, we need more for sure. You’re living the life that I’ve always wanted to and it’s great to be able to see you living it.
Thank you for the coffee, it is most certainly the lifeblood of many of us. Shannon sure captured some pictures worth a thousand words, they tell a story. 👏
Loved the stories. I was raised in a ranch lifestyle till I turned 21. I'm 74 now and I sure miss my raising.
😊
We really appreciate all that you do. The warmth comes through your food. We would like to see more of the pictures. We just received our third cookbook. We look forward to more pictures and more stories!
More to come!
Thank you for all you and Shannon do to keep the cowboy life alive through you photos and videos. You and Shannon are National treasures. Hope to see y’all in El Sigundo on April 6. Hope your trail is smooth, your critters are healthy and your powder is dry.
WoW! The combination of what Shannon captures along with Kent’s narration brings me right there at camp. Makes me wanna pick out a cup and sip some piping hot Cowboy coffee to warm up while Kent and Gary get the morning started. Reminds me of Carl W. Buehner’s famous quote “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Look forward to upcoming stories.
Glad you enjoyed it and that is a great quote
Kent keep them coming. It melts my heart and then swells it with pride to hear the references to God and then see what America is all about. It's our true heart and soul that we need a lot more of.
This is so great! My grandpa came from Texas to California with Jack Harris and spent plenty of time out on the range; I feel this gives me an insight to that part of his life!
Great video as always 👍🇺🇲
I’m a retired farmer and have no experience with horses but my Grandpa and uncle farmed with them and raised cattle. The knowledge of ranch and farm life is hard to find in this country so any experiences with pictures to burn into the mind is much needed. I believe a Western life series like you are proposing will be a big success. Go for it, I will be your biggest fan! Ken
Kent, we'll watch whatever content you guys make
Thank you Kent for sharing another aspect of your life with us. For those of us who don't live in the U. S. A. That life of yours is very admirable. Your generosity is appreciated. Those photographs that Shannon shows us in that magnificent book are really wonderful.
I have not had the opportunity to see all your videos, but it would be a great opportunity for you to share your knowledge in relation to other cawboy's topics, for example hats.
Greetings and thanks again.
I loved this. I miss living on the ranch and it reminded me of the many rodeo cowboys I've met that would come to our practice events and bulldogging school.
There's also a book written about my mom's side with a story about when the wife of a cousin (my great gpa and 4 brothers had ranches near each other) was miles away in the Idaho mountains with the horses when her husband had gone back to the homestead and got delayed because of an illness associated with his diabetes and she realized after him not returning that she'd have to move all those horses back on her own. No problem for the tough people back then. That little gal just got up onto that lead mare and brought them home on her own.
Gary Green is my brother. He has always been one of my heroes. Thank you.
Kent and Shannon, YES these presentations are important in preserving a way of life that many only wished they could be a part of. I name the excellent photo as "Cowboy Coffee Call"
I love these kind of contents. Hope you will continue to do more of it. As a city person I don't get to see these part of our country.
Great video Kent love to see and hear more.
Dear Mr. Rollins,
I am an active duty service member! And I’ll be seeing you in Denver. I hope you’ll have time for me. Thanks for you and yours do. It helps folks in ways you might not know.
Brings back many memories of the true cowboys I have been with in my younger days thanks
We need more of this, thanks for your support of veterans and our Flag, mikem
I’ve had the privilege of getting to cook for men’s groups on week-long camp outs. Mornings can be some of the best times when you’re waiting for the fire to burn down to coals for cooking with, drinking cowboy coffee, talking with other early risers in hushed tones so as not to disturb those who don’t have to be up yet. This video brought back some great memories and at the same time made me wish I was there with you. Absolutely loved the stories and the photos they went with. Would love to see more like this!
Keep the story alive, we need more pictures and the stories that go with REAL ranch life! GOD bless!
Real America!!!! This is the world as it should be. Honest men, honest work, true friends and good food. God Bless.
This is absolutely awesome. I love stories like this. Hearing and learning about things I may never have the chance to experience myself. I also want to say thank you for always keeping the soldiers fighting in your thoughts and prayers. I am the proud Granddaughter of a Vietnam and Desert storm vet that last year went to be with our Great Lord. We love watching you and the pups❤️💜🥰
I truly enjoy these Real Deal Cowboy Stories.
Oh, Shannon, ALL your pictures in this video tell a story and convey emotion. As a photographer, I understand these are the best of many. Does Not Matter. Please keep telling your story.
Absolutely special. Honored you share these special moments. Please continue to do so. Thank you and God bless you as He has blessed us with you and your wife.
God bless you
This video is exactly why I follow you Kent!
This is a truly beautiful episode! Please give us more behind the scenes stories! This is a world and a lifestyle that I have 0 context for, and it's absolutely important for these stories to be told!
Beautiful.
Simply beautiful.
♥️
God bless you and your wife! This would be an amazing series to listen to! Your stories just from the colors of a picture would be more then enough to sit around the camp fire and enjoy that cup of coffee.
I can’t add anything better than what’s been said already about how grateful we are that y’all share these stories so, here’s what I think you should title this series; A Tale of Cowboy. And, if you’d make a coffee table book to go along with the series, that’d be mighty kind of you.
The Forgotten Way...The Real West.
Cooking in the dark is a very real challenge. Please Continue with these stories and More . People NEED to know what struggles folks (past/present) have gone through to help feed those around us.
Automation is NOT always best. ❤❤
