Outback saddlers: 1,000s of miles for cattle station customers | Wide Open Spaces #5 | ABC Australia

[@nealcurry3937]

All the news in the world isn’t grim. It’s wonderful to be reminded of that and these people really exist. Long live the Aussies.

[@barclaygunn6404]

Salt of the bloody earth this couple! What genuine people. I've got my Kent Saddlery ringers belt on right now and its fairdinkum the toughest belt I've ever owned. Terrific craftsmanship!

[@IseiNabuka]

There is nothing that melts my heart watching people helping people. Thank you to the Kent family

[@sarikoske396]

I'm blessed to own a Lyle Kent saddle. So comfortable I can fall asleep riding 😁💖👍

[@lanceherron5911]

Got here 30 years ago, and God I love this country 👍👍👍

[@danielnixon6418]

That was a great story. True Australians through and through.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Awesome down to earth people. We need many, many more people like this in the world. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnpayne2465]

Marvellous. I wish they could've continued for ever.

[@timbuktoo2]

Making me homesick....love the bush

[@slc801]

Can’t imagine 9 years of drought 😫 respect to them 👍🏼how the hell they survived ?

[@AUSSIEMADMATT]

good honest wonderful example of the Aussie human!!!!

[@burrabogielivestock2530]

Great people Great gear so important for the industry 👌

[@markfryer9880]

This story was from 2019. Enjoyable if somewhat sad end of an era. Yes, you can certainly buy things online these days but somethings are best bought after you feel it in your hands first because your hands know if something feels right or wrong. Another thing about shopping in person is that you get to see other things that you may not have known about before be they tools or clothing. Hopefully Lyle and Helen are enjoying their retirement at least from the Station Run. I suspect that they will probably still help out in the workshop. Thirty five thousand kilometres in 5 months is a heck of a road trip to do year after year. Mark from Melbourne Australia

[@roccosiffredi6427]

Bloody brilliant people God bless you both for bringing such joy to the world

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Thanks for sharing your story NC, USA 🇺🇸

[@rrain3375]

From Canada the second largest country in the world. However the vastness of Australia surpasses anything here. Being four days from the closest supermarket gives you a appreciation how large Australia really is. I live in Toronto Canada population over 2 million you open the front door and you are 40ft from a neighbour.

[@indiana146]

Would fatten a crowbar typical aussie statement Your all bloody marvellous

[@richarddicktaylor219]

Wonderful people who produce top quality products. If I could get home I'd love to try and do a few runs for them before I get too old.

[@michaellaudahn]

I'm kind of relieved to see that your iconic flies haven't got extinct yet in the last decades. In fact, they appear to be stronger than ever .)

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Another fantastic story by the ABC you guys have done it again

[@robertward553]

That's the definition of customer service. Nice!!!

[@ReesTaylor]

Thank you, NZ

[@Gigi-xr3qs]

@ 7:07 This guy is too proud to brush flies off of his face. Amazing.

[@alundauncey5262]

Great story love the real leathers here as quality lasts and sadly a old trade that seems to be on the run out gota love the outback and the real genuine Peaple out there

[@begaudvalentin8848]

Great example of people that makes the industry stay alive!

[@raymondmassey6884]

Great couple! But how do they put up with the flies?

[@robinlecomte1242]

These video presentations, do more to promote Australia, than a "manufactured promotion can do". Any one watching this video, would have seen the Country, the People, the lifestyle, that makes Australia, what it is. I hope that someone can step in and continued to take the on road truck, back across the outback, selling the product that those, who work on those cattle stations, enjoy being able to buy.

[@cracka-tinnitribe9543]

There was up until a few years ago we had "LANSKY'S saddlery & leather shed. Have been getting my hand made double loop belt since 2005 untill a few years ago when the shop closed. 2 brothers ran the shop and made anything leather in house. Sad to see 2 of the very few saddle makers close up shop. I'd dare say these blokes may know of the Lansky brothers

[@ronanrogers4127]

Great story, thank you.

[@longlost8424]

take a good, hard look here folks because soon enough, you'll be saying "remember the good old days when....". beautiful story about the days when people were what's important in life.....

[@Pete-z6e]

Still plenty of good buggers around.

[@buffalogal9139]

Really and enjoyable story. thank you.

[@abcaustralia]

Our pleasure!

[@adamfrbs9259]

I bet that's a specialized enough trade you could come to the USA on a work visa and travel here if you'd like. Lots of farms still left here.

[@Winchesterosteve]

I love Australia 🇦🇺

[@wondersofwa2792]

Wow, id consider doing it for them.

[@abbyarnold4477]

To me though I love the cowboy life it is the most unrewarding job and never ending , that is why I moved to the metroplex thirty five years ago .

[@easymacR32]

Helens a gem 🙂

[@topdeckdog]

Problem: They need to make saddles to herd cattle so they can make more saddles Solution: 🤦‍♂️

[@JohnAlexanderBerry]

'Horses trump motorbikes'' ? Of course they do! As far as I'm concerned, horses have always ''trumped'' motorbikes !!

[@trekkerlanio4296]

I agree.

[@user-wickedflower]

I like both 😊

[@iansingsiansings2101]

Motorbikes? Always where you leave 'em. Can't drop your reins over your arm and roll a smoke on a bike. Bloody things don't swim real good either.
