I’ve only been watching this channel for a couple days but I’ve already seen it go up 2,000 subscribers, I’ve never seen such a fast growing channel.

One delightful concoction that, supposedly miners made when being given a break was putting everything sweet you had, a chocolate bar, coffee grounds, sugar, whatever, into a pot with some water and boiling it up. It went by various names, but my favorites are Lobscous, Smack and Brew... I wouldn't want to DRINK it, but the names are hilarious. Also, I'm glad Rex likes his fruits and veggies. Very health concious dinosaur (When he isn't eating people, obviously!) Great video Santee!

My great grandmother wrote a cookie cookbook with recipes from her mother who settled in Kansas by covered wagon. She told me her mother was known for her molasses cookies and sourdough zwie back that were cooked over an open fire using a cast iron trivet and brick oven that could be set up and disassembled. The bricks were used to keep the family warm the next day when back on the trail.

Peach or cherry cobbler made in the Dutch Oven...yum. Made it in the fire pit out in the backyard when I lived in the Catalina foothills.

Hi Santee - I've always been curious as to the nuts and bolts of chuck wagon cooking on the cattle trails.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

We're gonna do one on that hopefully soon. Got a guy. He's got a chuckwagon. I got connections!

[@robaldridge6505]

I don't know about the 'bolts' but the nuts are called prairie oysters.....

[@bigblue6917]

Wheat floor has been around for thousands of years with the simple Johnny Cake or Journey Cake which is a mixture of floor and water and baked on a hot rock for a large part of that time. So you have to wonder how long it took our prehistoric ancestors to add in some berries or nuts. Make a great snack for hunters.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Definitely.

Hey Santee, this was awesome. I've got a sweet tooth and that's bad because I'm Diabetic. I don't indulge very often and when I do, I look for the low or no sugar added.

Hello Gentlemen (& occasional Ladies)! Thank you for your hard work! I have been thoroughly enjoying your Channel! Could you do a show on music, songs, & instruments of the old west? Thank you again! Cheers!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Carissa, the good news is, that's on the list.

[@carissakirksey6606]

That's great to hear! I love the history of music: old bluegrass/folk songs, Civil War, turn of the century, early (20s) jazz, swing.. old west music would be fascinating as well! Music is like a time capsule, it is as 'real' today as it was all those years ago when they played & sang those same songs. I am an avid Gunsmoke radio show listener, & it always makes me happy to hear a period correct song playing in the background of a scene. Ring, Ring de Banjo comes immediately to mind. :) Thank you again for creating & sharing these videos!

[@mdj.6179]

The history of "Navajo fry bread" comes from their 300 mile "Long Walk". They were moved to lands where they could not grow their traditional foods. They survived starvation by cooking the government supplied flour, sugar and lard into fry bread. Santee can you do a video on the Navajo "Long Walk". I am very interested in this sort of subject because the Polish side of my family ended up in the U.S. from ethnic cleansing happening in Eastern Europe during the 19th century...
