The Buckhorn Saloon - San Antonio Fire Museum and the Tower of the Americas - San Antonio, TX

[@karengalileo9725]

Coming from a family of Firefighters (dad, brother, daughter) I really appreciate the fire museum 🫶

[@slytheringingerwitch]

Applaud the men and women who manage to do that type of job. Bless all of them, past and present.

[@everythingucanimagine-j1g]

Amen to that and bless jacob and family and friends and yours too greatly respect 😘🤩😍🥰💕💞💓💖💖💝💘💌💋👌👍🙏🌷🌼🌻🌺🥀🐞💮🌸💐 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@paulfuryes203]

As a retired firefighter, I love the museum, great video, Jacob. I always look forward to seeing your videos and keep them coming, buddy. Till the next one, take care my friend and as always very safe travels.

[@sandymwest1606]

Well I really enjoyed San Antonio. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@juanzapata492]

I’m impressed

[@FrankensteinLover]

As a Fan of the San Antonio Spurs Basketball Team, I always wanted to go to San Antonio so thanks for showing a sample of what it looks like. Im sure seeing the Alamo and The River Walk is well worth it.

[@22Ryan33]

I am so happy your videos come online early in the morning on the west coast! I wake up early but don't go out for about 3 hours. It would be so boring without you and a few other great channels.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

You know, your trip convinced me. I need to go to San Antonio.

[@racheldelgado277]

Welcome to my hometown. Sunny today. I was in that crowd when you and Adam the Woo visited us. Sorry you will miss the cattle drive downtown on Saturday (2-1) to kick off the Rodeo.

[@TheThrillDudeVideos]

You’ve sold me on San Antonio as a place I need to check out.

[@nicolepasillas8816]

Suggestion for a future series: worlds fair locations You tend to hit spots on your travels already but maybe a dedicated journey just for worlds fair spots 🤔

[@TheCarpetbagger]

That’s actually a really fun roadtrip idea

[@jennalovecraftreeves9679]

That food looked so good!

[@RobinLuvdWilliam]

Thank you for the tour of the San Antonio Fire Museum and the Buckhorn Saloon Museum. The Mexican food you were eating looked delicious! 😊

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Great museums.

[@Nathaniel.MarcusAtYahoo]

I'm really glad you took that tour, you could see from the top, I'm sure on a clear day it would be nice to have a further view but it was satisfying. I liked it.

[@alanlough638]

Jacob, your KZbin Channel is great and so are you. Texas is a great state in which to visit. The people of Texas are so polite and courteous. As always, Alan.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽. Be careful and safe out there ‼️. And Thank You for letting Jennifer know that we were asking about her. I saw her video last night and I was very happy to see her and that she is ok. Thank You Jacob 🙋🏽❤.

[@caroleettleman8648]

Very good video watch Jen sting this morning she came on first and I do like watching you in the morning and then we sometimes make another appointment to watch you again the same video because my husband falls asleep anyway see you tomorrow

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

The fire museum was a treat thanks for showing us Jacob be safe

[@angrimpe]

The Buckhorn bar was originally at the brewery of Lone Star beer.

[@valeriemcmahon9508]

I love these videos and I love watching them daily or whenever that is

[@mollysmith1226]

I watch daily 😊

[@OldMovieRob]

The Buckhorn Saloon looks great. It's totally got a Ripley's vibe to it.

[@karenleger7583]

Sorry the weather wasn't cooperating. But a great video none the less. I like San Antonio and the food. See you tomorrow. 😊

[@loravaloo55]

Loving the hotel reviews along with the train videos and showing ways to get around cities without a car. Great Videos Jacob!!!

[@christopherrosas2738]

Loved this..... perhaps a few corrections though the sky ride was at Brackenridge Park, but the area where they are displayed now is Hemifair Park..... fun fact btw for the 1968 fair there was a monorail built for the fair..... sadly by my childhood in the 1980's it was no longer there..... but you could have avoided all that construction heading to the tower by taking the river through the convention center..... kinda tricky if you don't know the area, but still a fun time.... wish La Villita could have been shown though..... next time you come down to reexperience the Buckhorn I would recommend grabbing the city bus out to Brackenridge Park and checking out the Zoo, the Japanese Tea Gardens and the Brackenridge Park Train..... also would love to see footage of the original Amtrak station in San Antonio...... right next to the modern much smaller station.....

[@ascracer]

The Buckhorn was the only museum I sadly got to see during my time in San Antonio, I never got to go in the tower either.

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

Hey there 👋 carpetbagger it's always amazing to see amazing video 😊

[@bordercollielover9360]

yay more squished penny’s , I love squished pennies!

[@keisamallory2591]

Jacob your videos made my days I love watching them the new & classic videos you made

[@Deb-xn6yr]

I love your videos so much! My mom and I have always wanted to visit San Antonio, but can't go. Thanks for "taking us along" So enjoyable! Hope Jen feels better soon. I have fibromyalgia pretty severe, so I understand how she is feeling! Tell her we love her! Keep safe!

[@SPC-4]

The armadillo is also found in Arkansas , saw them next to the I 40

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Armadillo are all over

[@robertyoung7962]

Always a great day when the carpetbagger films inn your home town🎉

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸 good to see u on, thanks for sharing this museum on San Antonio Fire, it was interesting to see on their history. You take care.

[@dobos420]

I can't wait till tomorrow's video comes out. All aboard!!!

[@mollysmith1226]

I like the train videos

[@paulnale7725]

I appreciate your videos Jacob I have trouble walking I can walk good and then just go down and further I walk the weaker I get so I can't do 99.9 percent what you show I appreciate it

[@shinybrightsouth1585]

I love the Buckhorn Saloon. So many cool things to see there. If you have time check out Shilo’s. We had a lot of great food in San Antonio, but Shilo’s was our favorite.

[@fossilsue]

Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed the firemen's museum but I am not a fan of taxidermy. I did enjoy the oddities.

[@JoanneBelliveau-i4z]

Awesome video thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@randyguess3124]

It's interesting that the saloon has all those buck horns. Because the Hall of Horns museum used to be located about a mile south of downtown when I was a kid.

[@suebirdsall2345]

Thank-you Jacob for your wonderful videos!! I am so enjoying your train travels! I have been watching every day and I think you are doing such a great and fun job showing fun train rides and touring cities with public transportation.

[@jstanovic]

I liked SA when i visited there 30 years ago.

[@tkuebler9561]

30 years ago the Buckhorn museum was at the old Lone Star brewery... samples of Lone Star at the bar. Great place.

[@brandylara2398]

Love going on adventures with u. Im now considering taking the train. I just noticed your shirt, I'm from Winchester, VA, and my husband is from San Antonio, TX so that's a cool coincidence.

[@mollysmith1226]

😮

[@cruisemongers]

Fun fact @39:57 mark. The Saltgrass Steakhouse is located in the historic Casino Building. Before it became a historical landmark, my neighbor, Bob Brenner, leased the 1st and 2nd floor and operated Club Aquarius in the late 1960s to around 1974. They had an apartment plus storage space on the second floor. They owned a house off of Vance Jackson (Dellview area). I used to play along with my friend Mark Brenner on second floor terrace. We used to grab roof pebbles next to the terrace and drop them on unsuspecting tourists. Our favorite target was hitting the hats of the Park Rangers.

[@jeffcyr2182]

I think the Bunker needs a horn chair.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I’m afraid I’d get gored

[@SunCoastFilms]

That meal at Casa Rio looked delicious. Thanks for the tour! Definitely need to make a trip out there.

[@rosespackey6265]

We were at San Antonio years ago, I think I need to go back! Thank you 😊

[@BevBaker-m3c]

Thank you Jacob. Loved the buckthorn museum. How dare they close early. See you tomorrow. Bev 🇬🇧

[@TexasDomination]

Love it, brother!

[@MP-gm5gg]

Thank you.

[@RedCubTX]

Those sky-ride cars bring back memories of my childhood. They used to take you from the San Antonio Zoo to the Japanese Tea Gardens. If you get back and get a chance, take the Riverwalk north to the Pearl area. Also, in San Antonio make sure you call it Queso, not nacho cheese haha. Not sure how hard they are to find, but if you get a chance to try a puffy taco, they are my favorite San Antonio tacos.

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

Good morning Jacob and Jenn

[@history_leisure]

In the US, it is common that a fire department might be called for medical emergencies, especially in rural areas, due to disinvestment of hospitals and other medical care in those areas. This is also why Fire trucks often look they way they do here vs a European or Japanese one

[@markteicher5785]

I always stay at the Hampton Inns when I travel with my family. Last trip was at Daytona beach. I love your vlogs Jacob. Please keep traveling and take us with you. Safe going my friend

[@sweetc832002]

hope you enjoy yourself in Dallas,as i live in Dallas and know there is plenty to see

[@umrmech84]

I liked the flame effect in that window.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It was really cool

[@randyguess3124]

Brackenridge Park is actually further north of downtown by the Zoo and the SA River headwaters. Roosevelt said it was one of his favorite places in the world. A nice scenic park northeast of downtown.

[@angelahowarth6541]

I just watched a video of Madame Toussads in New York, NY. You need to go there, Jacob! Some of their wax figures had animatronic features, which blew my mind. They also have some cool displays that are not just celebrities, etc.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I haven’t been in a very long time

[@knottynumbers44]

The Worlds Fair is in Osaka Japan this year

[@cindyredenius9857]

Good afternoon Jacob!

[@themayor6355]

Jacob, you missed something local to your hometown.... some of the newer models of firehouse tips were manufactured in Valparaiso, at Task Force Tips (TTT embossed on them).

[@debbithunert]

i live in san antonio i wish i could have met you

[@mollysmith1226]

I probably would faint 😂if I met Jacob 😊

[@history_leisure]

7:15 Maybe that's where "fighting fire with fire" comes from

[@mikehughes4969]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can never evoke the Euem Rule too much for me, and that one was a corker. The Buckhorn was fascinating, but I was wondering if it's somehow connected to the Buckhorn in Denver? Also, the Barnacle Buck did things to my intrusive thoughts that you just don't want to know about.

[@locotuss]

Always fun to Foos

[@gabrielcardenas8290]

Good morning Mr carpetbagger Buenos dias glad tour doing San Antonio

[@denisefink507]

I'm sorry your visit this time was marred by bad weather you never know in Texas lol. Does sky buckets from brackenridge Park is actually over by the zoo and Japanese Tea Gardens, I rode it once a long time ago before they tore it down. There is also a train ride in Brackenridge Park. Maybe next time you come you can give you some other spots if you have your car. Don't forget we have the missions also on the south side of town. Safe travels

[@christopherrosas2738]

@@denisefink507 or yet another mode if transport getting around the downtown area would be the trolley and take the city bus to Brackenridge Park.... pass by the Pearl and the old Buttercrust Factory and by where Kiddie Park used to be located on Broadway

[@rongamble9884]

You should check out the Japanese tea garden in San Antonio

OMG! fix the projector alignments in the sideshow. we worked so hard to get those correct.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Sorry I should have let them know 😂

[@PeteRondeau]

LOL!

[@jockandtrusty]

The sky cars you saw are not located in Brackenridge Park. They used to be in Brackenridge Park, near the San Antonio Zoo. You were in the area of La Villita Park and King William District when you saw them in this video.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Ah, thank you, was trying to figure it out on the fly

[@christopherrosas2738]

@TheCarpetbagger actually it's Hemisfair Park where they are located.... La Villita is the area you passed through from the river to get to the main street there..... but another fun fact about that area is that is where the original arena that the Spurs played at was located..... check out Hemisfair Arena.... it came down in the 90's and then they built the Alamo Dome.....

Atari the video game company used to have a handheld console called the Lynx.

[@joshuameasimer7708]

25:37 Curious when that lynx was given the name Atari. The Atari 2600 was obviously popular when the commercial was filmed (1981), but Atari years later had a handheld called the Atari Lynx (1989).

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Yeah, that really confused me at first

[@jlawlar]

The insanity of starting a fire at a fire to put out said fire is wild to me.

Great video. I have been there also. I went to Sea World there when it first opened in 1988. You should go to Sea World. It's the largest sea park in the world.

[@The_Dudester]

6:30 The correct term is fire wagon. Back then, volunteer fire department meant ever able bodied person to pull the wagon to the fire and then use the buckets and ladders. 6:54 Fire engines with a steam pump for water required a 3 man crew (minimum), one to stoke the coal (coal quickly creates a cool exterior and burns inside), one to tend to the horses (horses are spooked by fire and will run) and one hose man. "Steamers" came about in 1914 when an internal combustion engine replaced horses. Fire departments kept steamers in service until the 1930's when fire trucks (or apparatus) replaced fire engines. 7:22 An early ladder truck, called "hook and ladders" for obvious reasons. The term actually was in use until the 1970's (even though hydraulics in the 1950's replaced a number of functions of the hook and ladder).

[@gilbertcastanon2667]
