Fun fact: most pirates wore eye patches not due to injury, but for easy vision in the covered eye in the dark. They would switch the patch the eye used to the light so the opisite eye would be already adjusted to the dark so they could see better when they went down into the hull of the ship where it was dark

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Interesting.

[@papayaman78]

Not really, that myth has been busted. It was used mainly by people with amputated limbs to eliminate sense of pain on the missing limb. That therapy is still being used today.

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

That's a myth

[@Edward2092009]

Pirate's wore an eye patch over one eye, so they can lift the patch off that eye, and immediately see in the pitch black darkness below deck.

[@jemmagill]

Who’s beck

[@collecter3456]

That’s why I am here. I tried it and now I want a patch. It is almost like night vision. All you do is cover your eye for a little while. Then if you go from lit rooms to darkness, and you uncover your eye, you can see super clearly.

Much appreciated, Cindy.

If you make it right you can use it as an old time sling for flinging rocks. You can also give it to the guy you just hit in the eye with one of those rocks you were flinging.

*Howdy fellas! Loved the video.* Was wondering of y'all could do a short video on how people with disabilities held their own in the old west. In popular culture we often see people with missing limbs use a firearm prosthetic, and I was curious if there are any historical examples of these kinds of things happening. Also if I was right handed and my right eye was blinded how hard would it have been to switch my dominant hand and eye or if there were any unusually genius modifications people made to aid in their firing of weapons. Thanks fellas, y'all are awesome!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Tom, it's in the plan. Civ War vets had careers out West with missing limbs and major injuries. I want to tell you all about it.

Hi Santee, I was over at Cowboy Kent Rollins page yesterday watching him make grilled cheese sandwiches on an actual grill. He uses several kinds of cheese American cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack with a sprinkle of parmesan. When he mentioned pepper jack your name came to my mind. If you grill some makes sure you are downwind from a certain bear raised person. Santee has grilled a tray of ooey-gooey grilled cheese sandwiches on Texas Toast for him and the Arizona Ghostriders. Batjac asks "Where's Dan?" and Santee replies "He was going to bring some homemade desserts". A bear wearing a pink ribbon bonnet carrying a picnic basket walks in and the Ghostriders scatter. Dan comes in behind the bear and yells "I brought over my mother's sister Aunt Flo who was not poached for her honey glazed donuts" After a few seconds Dan says "Well Aunt Flo more for us. Time for a picnic". A short while later Dan, Aunt Flo, Rex, and a pair of badgers sitting down for a picnic.
