And then there was the ,,Mochila'' used by the Pony Express. It covered the whole saddle -- so it could not be removed unless the rider was off his horse. There were 4 pouches for letters, one in each corner. A hole allowed the pommel to poke thru. Some had a cut out for the back of the saddle. Some westerns about Russell, Majors & Wadell's operation have faithfully executed props, and others just skip it and use the conventional 2-sided bags.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Mentioned those in the Pony Express video

What you showed at the end with your wife purse is so true. I used to be in the Army Infantry and carry about 100lbs in my Ranger Ruck, my wife’s purse seems to weigh about the same!

I joined the navy so I didn't have to carry all that stuff .

[@Lee784447]

@@victorwaddell6530 that is true, my dad was in the Navy and my two stepsons were also in the Navy. That said I wasn’t really complaining about the weight, I was just making a point.

My late wife used to call it her purse of Doom one time she kept losing her reading glasses she bought a new purse and as we were emptying her old purse into the new one we found three pairs of her reading glasses

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah...I get that!

[@RebeccaPoston-ur2tz]

❤️❤️❤️

[@WheelgunDan]

There was a time where I owned a pair of saddlebags like those. But I rode an iron horse (motorcycle) instead of a real horse. Never the less, I secured the saddlebags to the motorcycle as though it were a real horse. What could possibly go wrong? Well, as it turns out, it seems that a motorcycle can go faster than a horse. (Who'da thunk it?) As a result, the saddlebags wound up flapping wildly in the wind as I sped on down the trail (so to speak). A learning experience for sure. So then I bought a bigger "iron horse", a Harley-Davidson with permanently mounted leather saddlebags. Problem solved, right? Wrong. Moisture would accumulate inside the saddlebags, which would then result in mold eventually growing inside the saddlebags. Then what? Well, I traded in that bike on an even bigger Harley-Davidson geezer glide, (a Road Glide Custom) which had rigid saddlebags and a waterproof gaskets to keep water out. Problem solved... so long as you don't put anything wet into them.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks for sharing that iron horse story!

[@ScorpionRegent]

Wheelgun Dan - I've done the soft saddle bags on a motorcycle. A plastic shopping bag is a nothing item, but when it rains it's gold. Storm flaps and well placed drainage grommets are a serious plus. You can treat leather to make it waterproof, but you can't make it 100% water tight. Mold is like rust, it never sleeps. You can keep it away, but like a lot of things in life, it involves work, money or some combination of the two. Smooth roads.

[@danielthompson6207]

I'm not a cowboy, but I do plenty of solo camping trips using only pre-19th century equipment and clothing, many of which extend beyond into the two-week range. One of the things my wife commented on when we first met was how much oil/fat and beeswax there was on all of the gear and clothing. I'd not really noticed it, being used to that for years, but I imagine that folks who spent most of their time traveling by horse or foot out West back then might have had a similar relationship with those or other substances for water resistance.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, they did. Wear and tear on some of these "coated" garments would require re-coating them.

[@garygabrielle1056]

Always love a movie with a cowboy at night crossing the range. No pack animal. But at campfire had a coffee pot and a frying pan plus plate but during the day riding only showed a small bed roll and average size saddlebag. Plus all the other things you mentioned that goes into one. Reminds me of what goes into your wifes purse.

Santee and the Arizona Ghoust Riders a White Woods Buffalo was sighted in the Delta Herd today. The local tribe loves it and so does the local residences in the local area. I contacted our Fish & Wildlife and requested that it will be protected and no hunting licence issued for this young calf. This was just approved by our Govenor moments after I contacted Fish & Wildlife. The calf appears to be several months old. We got a very rare buffalo and I hope that you guys and gals like this news. My best wishes to all of you.

Looks like our wives have similar purse problems. LOL!! Another great video!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Well, Dustin, those purses are treacherous.

[@kenklaus9997]

Funny. In the movies they rarely pack but every day carry would include several cans of food, a couple boxes of ammo, fork, spoon, plate, coffee mug, coffee pot, coffee, (pot), flour, sugar, pouch of jerky, bacon, chewin' baccy, first aid kit, spare rope, about 20-50 pounds of oats for the "mount", matches (we don need no stinkin matches....!), wrist irons if a lawman, farrier supplies, wire cutters, spare horse shoes, gun oil and cleaning supplies, well, you get the picture. In the westerns, with the 15-shot 6 shooters, they always had about 180 pounds of supplies that they always carried in those back-of-saddle bags. You rarely, if ever, see pommel bags. Sometimes they'll have a tent in there, too.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah. tents were easy to carry, but without a pack mule or two, the rest of the stuff you listed would be difficult. I think I saw pommel bags in the remake of True Grit...but don't remember any other time in Hollywood westerns.

[@mikechampion1614]

A holster on the bag is a new one for me.it beats digging around the bag when you need the backup gun quick.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, those were popular even before the Civil War

[@jamesstuart5016]

Cat Man most are made of wood or animal batters or a lot of just skin

[@floydvaughn836]

Well, where are you at? In areas with lot's of water, a small 1 Qt version made of tin or wood. Where water was scarce, bag types holding up to a gallon or more were common. Commercial models were made of canvas. When full, the pores would leak a bit, giving a cooling effect. Leather botas in the South West were used. Also, animal stomachs and even bladders have been pressed into service. An excellent illustration of water containers, and their importance, is in the film HOMBRE. Pay attention.

Equine fanny pack lol ... I have a pair of the US cavalry saddle bags I used them until about 15 years ago when I found out how much they are worth now they hang in my office.. Had a copy made of them but they just didn't hold up bush wacking around following these hounds ... I have some now made from a materiel that is pretty tough .. One think that needs to be mentioned is a lot of these modern saddle bags are huge and people try to carry to much weight in them .. don't want to carry to much over your horses or mules kidneys .. anymore I have just started taking a pack mule ..

[@Dreamz-vr8zc]

This brings me to a question I always ask myself when I watch a western film. The heroes ride long distances for weeks or days, but have hardly any luggage. They have saddlebags, but they don't look heavily packed. Plus a thin blanket. But no cooking utensils, no jacket, no change of clothes. But when they arrive in El Dorado, they are clean, not a bit sweaty, not a speck of dust. Okay, Hollywood. But what did such trips actually look like? Or did they hardly exist at all?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, that's Hollywood getting it wrong. You can survive on things like pemmican, a can of beans, and a pound of bacon for only so long. Normally they would have a packhorse or a mule to carry everything else.
