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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I read a-lot {250 books read each year}....and as of late; I have been devouring Western and Mountain Men books and stories. I have learned so so much about the Life and times of the Early to Mid and even the end of the 1800's. With all that said; I have learned that Matches for starting Fires were Called "Lucifers", because of the brand name of Matches. next is that alot of Western Cowboys and Mountain Men called Coffee "Arbuckles" because of again the brand name of Coffee. And again I have learned so so much about Our AmerIndigenous Peoples, Tribes, and the daily lives of Most Indigenous Peoples, Tribes, and Villages. I often think that I was born in the wrong era, as I would ideally Love to be transported back into the Mid 1800's....

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.

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 ..

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?

Santee, I have a question about two types of horses. My question is what is the difference between a Hammerhead and Blue roan?
@ArizonaGhostriders
@ArizonaGhostriders 2 жыл бұрын
A roan has a coat sprinkled with white or grey. I believe the hammer-headed has to do with the curve of it's neck.

What about reloading supplies. I've got a WINCHESTER .44WCF reloading tool. That, plus primers, powder, and lead would take up some room. I suspect cowboys didn't pack these neccesities. Maybe the four wheeled mobile chef took care of the camp's ammo supplies.

There was a version of a hand-loader, but it was big. I'm not saying it wouldn't be in saddlebags, but it might have been more logical to take boxes of ammo.

I wonder if a ceramic plate would be carried in a salldebag back then . I'd imagine a tin or pewter plate would be a better choice . Cutting food on a ceramic plate dulls your knife quickly , but tin and pewter are softer than knife steel . I wouldn't let my best friend use my knife to cut a steak on a ceramic plate . Besides , I reckon the missus would get madder than a wet hen if her fella rode off and left her China set missing a piece . Was there an equivalent of a military mess kit back in the Old West days ? How about making a video about canteens and water containers in the Old West ?
@ArizonaGhostriders
@ArizonaGhostriders 5 жыл бұрын
The tin plate (like the one in the video) is so much lighter than ceramic. I should make a video about what the cavalry carried. Good idea! Already got canteens on the list, thanks Victor!

There are a couple references about them being tempermental, but then all wild horses can be. "They are spirited, though easily broken to the saddle or harness. As saddle-horses they are far superior to the common American horse, and for speed and power of endurance they have no equals." - Wigwam and War-Path, by A. B. Meacham, 1875
