The thumbs-down are vegan chuckwagon haters.
The vegans don't need chuckwagons they just graze on the side of the trail.
Vegans would die from starvation on the cattle drive. Lack of meat proteins and hard work isn't a good combination.
@@williamgosvener47 Well, then old Cookie could cook them up for variety!
lol
There was a comment here that I removed because it was from a common troll. Went to his channel and he wears a mask to hide his identity. Too afraid to show their real face. It tells a lot, doesn't it?
I like when Kent say I want to thank all the service men and women who keep Ole Glory flying. Brings a tear to my eyes it sounds silly, but when you served it means so much to hear that appreciation. Not that we did it for glory or gratitude, but to truly have someone who is greatful for what we've done; makes me willing to go back and do it all over again.
Well said. Thanks for watching!
Amen, Kent is the real deal.
Yes it does.
Got my coffee!! And I've met Kent several times over the years. Both of you are amazing people. Keep the fire burning
And to boot he sells a seasoning that is out of this world
@@ThemissouriTraveler It's awesome!
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders red river I think it called.
In Brooklyn, coffee is pronounced, "Quaughphie"!
Helluva crossover. I like my western history on Saturday mornings and pretty much everything I cook, old Kent has something to do with it!
Thank you! Much appreciated.
What is that Western History?
Been watching Kent for awhile he is definitely a throw back to the old west just found Arizona Ghostriders yesterday and have been watching since and enjoying the history and comedy thanks Santee
@@nealfigary3288 You are welcome, Neal! Thank you for stopping by.
The original food truck dare I say?
Yep!
@@ArizonaGhostriders ah, but do they charge 12 bucks for a fancy grilled cheese? Lol
@@jordanhicks5131 HA! Maybe
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!
I did. He drank the rest of it though.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Well that is dirty!
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.
Thank you!
thanks for your weekly history lesson!! kent and shannon would be the best neighbors ever
Yeah they would.
Come and get it!!!!
Oh, man....it made me hungry just posting it!
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
Thank you!
I know this is an old video but I love the old west and subscribed! And yes I found you thru rdr2 lol
Welcome aboard!
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.
Very cool that you do that, Carl.
Hey Santee ... YUM , YUM, YUMMY ! AWESOME video :-)
Thank you!
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
HA! Much appreciated.
Great video!! Thank you. Been watching Kent and his better half for some time now, they turned me on to your channel!! Thanks again
Thank you! Welcome to the channel. They Rollins' are great folks.
Loved it! Your editing skills are rocking!
Thank you!
Two of my favorite channels smooshed together! Like a chocolate peanut butter cup of western knowledge!
Love that!
Fantastic episode! I really enjoyed Kent and the tour of a couple chuck wagons.
Thank you!
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.
Dynamite boxes! Wow...that's fun.
YES! I’ve been waiting for merch. I’m gonna buy a shirt as soon as I can. Thank you for another amazing video Santee.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Awesome Guest!
I thought so.
Thank you Santee . 2 of my favorite channels come together . Love both of you
You're welcome!
"I didnt know you were so handy" ... "neither did I" - Best quote
Thank you!
Really, really great episode. Wonderful. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! You're welcome!
Another great video. You boys didn’t disappoint!!
Thank you!
Loved this. Will be looking into some of the foods and seeing if I can make them
Sure you can!
Great video. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Amazing folks keeping are history alive. Top notch channel. Thanks Santee
You're welcome! I appreciate you watching.
Great collaboration between your two excellent sites. They are both some of my favorite channels. Thanks
Thank you!
This one is my favorite. Watched the start twice, loved the coffee cup gag
Thank you!
Absolutely great video!
Thank you!
High quality, totally high quality...absolutely...everything and always of the highest of high quality...
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I appreciate your high quality thanks! :)
Great view behind Dan's chuckwagon. Nice touch.
Thanks.
I will be looking forward to more
Thank you!
Well done! that was really fun.
Thank you!
As the cook was giving information, I couldn't help but to say, "that's the way the cookie crumbles."
HA! Yes. At lest he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder.
@@ArizonaGhostriders He seems skilled enough to never be half-baked.
@@Plekhanov2000 I like how you rolled that one out!
My only, literally only, regret about deleting social media was losing Kent Rollins’s Facebook page. That man is thoroughly entertaining and a pleasure to watch ! Wishing you all the best !!
Thank you!
As usual , great video!
Thank you!
Two of my favorite channels together for a video! Very awesome!
Thank you!
The food episodes are awesome because cooking is something we all do, and following old recipes and techniques are an excellent way to connect with the past. Awesome video I really enjoyed it!
Well written. Thanks much!
I just saw this! Another good one Santee!
Thank you. It was an honor to do a vid with Kent.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I’ve been following him for a few years now. It’s like old home week! I’m considering building a Chuck box for when we go camping. But open fires are frequently frowned on here in NM, much like AZ. One little gust and everything flammable get in the mix. I suppose I could add a small compartment to hide a propane stove in but that’s not cheating fair, lol!
You are correct, Santee, this is quality and I like that you actually participate in the comment section. Many KZhead channels beg for comments but never bother responding when you do..
Much appreciated!
Fantastic!
Thank you!
This old AZ gal is so glad to find this channel. I have been a subscriber to Kent & Shannon's for a while now, just love them. TFS
Thank you and welcome to the Ghostriders!
It is hi quality content ... Thanks Santee, this was a great video, keep up the good work muchacho :-)
Thank you!
Great stuff, have a great weekend. Hopefully you can rest up before the games begin.
Yeah!
great video, it makes me wonder what the original chuck wagon races were like. or how they got their name.
Well, with all those pots and pans, it sure would be a noisy race.
These collabs are out of this world my friend.
Thank you! Maybe there's one in our future, eh? Wine or whiskey....
Love his recipes, keep it up!
Thank you!
Excellent episode 👏. I just ordered my shirt the other day, it should be here soon 😀 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
This episode was very interesting and I enjoyed learning more about the history of the chuck wagon.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
I absolutely love both "Arizona Ghostriders" and "Cowboy Kent Rollins"!
Thank You!
You're chanel is Excellent. And Mr. Rollins's is my personal hero. I imagine being a cowboy with him as the cookie. You know his men ate good. Back in cowboy era meals were best part of the day.
I appreciate that
Thanks Santee and crew
You're welcome!
Another fantastic topic. A lot of Dan's 😂 Totally enjoyed your wonderful upload my friend. Awesome kitchen on wheels

Hi guys! Chuckwagon the icon of cowboy daily life in the trail driving the herd North well chosen! And Santee & Kent together! Well done I'm subscriber of Kent Rollins to, great cooking! Thanks
You're welcome!
Loved the video. I have worked on a Chuckwagon before and plan to get my own. I started Compass Rose Vending & Catering and will be selling hot dogs and other items. I want a Chuckwagon to use for catering and western events. I just bought one of your tee shirts also. They look great! Thanks for keeping history alive.
Thank you! Awesome job you had there. I hope you do it again, that would be pretty cool.
Wow! I didn't realize there was so much information one needed to know in order to be a trail cook. Interesting. Thank you.
You're welcome, Cindy. It was hard work for old cookie, but satisfying (in more ways than one).
Your videos feed my curiosity about the old west just like the chuckwagon fed cowboys back in the day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge... and for making the ''lessons" so entertaining. I laugh and learn... that's why I love your channel so much.
Glad you enjoyed it. Great to hear!
Great stuff Santee, nice collaboration with RRR !
Thank you!
Watching for a second time! I love Kent and Shannon! 💘
Thank you!
Sitting here watching your vid and Monte Walsh and low and behold here comes Tom, “you don’t know how little I care”, perfect timing. This one brings back memory’s had my own chuck wagon for twenty years, it was a deuce and a half with M-2 burners with a water trailer instead of a barrel (G.I’m use a lot of water), cooked in the woods, rice paddies, mountain tops & valleys all weather & all four seasons. Those were the days. Think I got them old guys though, they only had to weary about a dozen or so cowboys, try 150 - 200+ Soldiers three times a day. 👍🏼🤠👨🏻🍳
Whoooweeee 150-200?? Wow. Thanks for watching!
Great Show !
Thank You! 🥃
Awesome chuck wagon cook interview and info!
Thank you!
Good show thaks
Thank you!
Kent is one of a kind! Good man! Knows his business! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching
@@ArizonaGhostriders better get busy making more, I’m almost through all of the ones you got posted now! Lol
Sweet! Cowboy Kent is epic. Nice collab.
Yep!
Neat video. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Your videos are so informative and fun to watch. I’m also a huge fan of Kent Rollins. His prime rib recipe is the best way to prepare Prime Rib in the oven and I’ve modified it slightly to work in my Big Easy smoker roaster grill. Somehow our house is always full of people on a Prime Rib dinner night.
Thanks for watching
Would be really nice to have one of those :) : ) Lovely video Santee :)
Thank you! If I could have a stagecoach and a chuckwagon the world would be a better place.
Chuckwagons were first food trucks and vital to everyday life on a trail. The cowboys on the ranch needed to eat and they needed to eat on the trail. Don't forget coffee. Great video and thanks. More collabs, please.
Sure. Just did one with Jon Romanov. Try to do more with folks. Lotta knowledge out there!
Yes it is high-quality content don't pay attention to them giggling about! 😉
Thanks, Marco!
Yum. You're making me hungry now, Santee! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Santee, I watch you and Kent Rollins. My chuchwagon is nearly finished, it was a chore to make the wheels.
Cool. I hope to see some pics
