Been watching his videos all the years and my father and I we were inspired by this mans video. we went camping with my father in 2018 just before he passed on. A time I will treasure all my life. Thank you Kent and Shannon ❤

Kent, I’m an old man, 80 years old, but I still dream about being on the trail with those cowboys. I’ve never been on a trail drive, but you bring out the cowboy that I always wanted to be. Thank you, and God bless you and Shannon.

Sometimes my friend, we must love from a distance, i have direct ancestry that fought in the Revolutionary War during the winter of '77, and in the Civil War as well. I wish i could go back to the days of yore m'self. Sometimes we can only honor our lost traditions if we cant achieve it personally. Happy trails to you fella.

I enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing this with all of us.GOD BLESS KENT ROLLINS.

Makes me want to cry. There's a little bit of cowboy in all American men, even if they've not discovered it yet. I can feel it everyday. Thanks for the video sir.

My grandfather told stories about working on the King Ranch in the 1890s. He was a young blacksmith. During branding season and roundups he was Cookies "gofer". He learned a lot from Cookie and taught those things to my father who passed them on to me. I feel so lucky to have had that privilege.

People like Kent make me so happy to be an American! Thank you for your amazing content!

Yeah, pretty sure if Kent was thrown back in time to 1877 Oklahoma, he'd fit right in

@@Jandyg A/C certainly has spoiled us nowadays. I currently live in Redding California, and I simply would avoid this place at all costs if there was no such thing as A/C. Despite being far up in Northern CA this place is still fairly notorious for the really hot summers, and if I'm not mistaken it's the 2nd sunniest city in the U.S. I grew up and have lived most of my life in the nearby mountain areas at 3,500 to 4,000 feet elevation where it's cooler and much easier to deal with not having A/C. I will say the humid areas of the country are a much worse type of heat IMO. But the dry heat of the deserts is no joke either. The first time I went to Phoenix back in July 1998 I was with my dad for summer vacation, he was an OTR driver. We lost our A/C at the New Mexico border and when we showed up at Phoenix at 8 PM it was still 121 and we had to sleep in the truck that night. That was insanely hot to say the least.

I hope he starts participating in the annual chuckwagon day at the OKC cowboy museum

I just finished watching this video and reminiscing about the ranch here in Montana that I grew up on in the ‘70s and into the ‘80s. When you got to the part about being in Lebanon Missouri and showing all the draft horses I thought about how much my dad would have liked seeing that before he died. Brought tears to my eyes since he was a cowboys cowboy and I wish he was still here and could have gone there with me. If your dads are still here with you men, take the time to appreciate them for the gift from Jesus that they are. Blessings!😢❤

Mr Kent, I know a man from Southeast Tx, he is 80 now but still works his head of cows every week, cowboys everyday, retired Rodeo livestock contractor and owned/worked a meat market for many yrs He always has great stories it’s been a privilege to know him and enjoy his friendship/ mentoring. ( Lannie Michelle ) Thank you for always sharing your great knowledge. Hugs to you and Shann From Tx

I love the cooking shows, but this beat them all. Respect to those that keep the old simple ways of cooking alive today...

Always enjoy your videos and your cookbooks. My grandma lived to be 100 and her brother was 103. They both told stories about using a farm wagon to haul groceries to their grandparents. They said that their wagon had a small two eye cook stove that was used in the wagon. Soon after the first world war they left Arkansas and moved to Yuma Arizona and farmed there. They moved that stove with them. Sure wish I had it.

I love this "True" history lesson!!! Charlie Goodnight was my MawMaw's uncle. Thank you for bringing it to life today. God bless you and Shannon and all the pups. And God bless the good ole the USA.❤

America needs more Cowboy Kent!! You and Shannon are an American treasure! God Bless!

Always a good day when he see Kent posted

One reason why I came and stayed here with yall is the way you keep the history alive. So these very historical based videos are some of my favorites.

Gotta tell ya, Kent, your history lessons are just as enjoyable as your recipies. Keep 'em both commin'.

Thank you Kent for helping to keep our cultural heritage alive! Every time one of us cooks a batch of biscuits or makes some carne guisada in our dutch ovens or brews up a pot of cowboy coffee, that heritage lives another day.

Kent thank you so much for your insight and knowledge on the older ways of life and history of cowboys and keeping traditions alive you are a True American and a good man!!

Love this information! Always dreamed of having a chuckwagon..

The historical side of chuck wagon life are my favourite videos.

Great episode! As a reenactor, I can really appreciate what it means to go back in time and live out history. One of my all time favorite events was called Shenandoah 1864 and at that event we were blessed to have all our meals fixed by a camp cook with his own chuckwagon. It really helped to fully immerse you into the time frame and authenticate the event. An experience of a lifetime I'll never forget. Thanks Kent for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. God bless 👍🏻

AGREED! KENT ROLLINGS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!!!

Love history & love you Kent & Shannon. My grandfather was born 1889, I was born 1953 so he was 64 when I was born. Lived till he was 89. I learned so much from him of the old ways in my late teens and early 20"s. He was a survivor of the Lost Battalion of WW1, having received the purple heart (wounded twice) and the Silver Star. He taught me so much of the old ways on his small ranch I'm afraid I've forgotten some of it but your channel helps me remember. I wish now I paid more attention!!!

These history lessons are truly a BONUS for all of us!

LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND THE PUPS

Chuck Wagon has changed over 200 years, hope that people can experience this over 200 years to come

It's always great to hear about our Western history which includes the cattle drives and yes Cookie was a big part of. Thank you Kent for keeping our history alive.

The water barrel brought memories. Years ago I read several stories about people traveling west. They would often purchase silver coins which were 100 percent silver then. They would put a couple of coins in the water barrel. The silver helps to keep the water fresher longer.

We NEED to learn from our history to make our future brighter!!! P.S. thank you for acknowledging our vets. As a medically retired military family of 7 my s/o truly feels like he's been forgotten about once he could no longer physically or mentally preform his duties. For him Afghanistan will never be over. God bless you.

I never tire of stories from our great history in the West. Thanks so much Ken & Shan for what you do!

Over here in the UK we are never really that remote, so I find the History side fascinating. Thank you for sharing Sir, God bless you Kent, Shannon and the Pups 🙏❤

Awesome video Mr Kent! Thank you Sir. All that history of the west is pure gold and music to my ears. As you can tell I love Western history. God bless you Sir and Shann and your pup's for keeping that era still alive!🤠

I love watching you tell the history of chuck wagons, cooks, Cowboys, and all the hard work involved in ranching! I admire you and appreciate the examples you set in serving our Lord and Savior and your honoring our military! Thank you for all you do! God bless you!

Love historical cooking, thanks for this informative episode!

I love how you guys are throwing in some old history lessons here and there its awesome

My dad rode fence lines for summers when he was young. Then he taught me how to cook many years later. You n him, and somehow me, have a lot in common because he taught me to cook in cast iron over wood. He's gone but at least I still have you. Thank you for being you.

Thank you for watching

God bless you Kent and Shannon! Love this information! The cowboy is still alive and well! One of my favorite events I look forward to every year is the Tribute to Ranching Rodeo here in southern AZ. The events are what working cowboys do in their daily lives and the lunch has some of the best chuckwagon cooks that travel the west preparing Dutch Ovens loaded with pot roast, carne asada, cowboy taters, beans, chicken fried steak and those amazing biscuits!! All cooked over a mesquite fire. Yeehaw!

Oh Kent, I so love this. I had a brother with Downs Syndrome who would watch ‘Rawhide’ with my aging (and gone) mother, who would say; ‘we’re cowboys’. You sir bring all of those memories back in the most loving and respectful ways. Thank you sir.

That was a great story, Kent. I can't get enough of certain history stories and those of the Old West are some of my favorites. Your knowledge of that time period is amazing. I could listen to you talk on that subject all day. Also, it's always a joy seeing the old chuck wagon. That is the most beautifully restored chuckwagon I have ever seen.

Nothing better than real living history, Kent you and your beautiful wife Shannon are God sends and the epitome of an American. with so much negativity on youtube and in the world, your channel is a light sir, God Bless you and yours...

Mr. Rollins your a true american hero to all us Veterans. We truly appreciate your support. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏼

Kent, this was an excellent video!! I always enjoy these "history" videos!! Very informative!! When I was a teen ager (16-17) and went to 4-H youth camp, I always volunteered to cook for the whole group. Sometimes cooking for 50-60 teens plus the adult chaperones. I aways did the same for deer camp when a group of us guys would go to New York deer hunting. It's something that gets in your blood! A labor of love that you enjoy in spite of the hard work. Watching everyone chow down and come back for seconds is reward enough!! God Bless you Kent. Hope to meet you someday!

My spirit is always lifted when I watch these videos.

I loved this! I love when you do these historical videos. You really keep the tradition alive. God bless you and Shannon.

Boyfriend says that he had a chance/opportunity to go work on a ranch in Winnemucca. Turned it down and still regrets it to this day. The opportunities that you are sharing are quickly dwindling away. Thank You for offering your experience as well as knowledge as to how it once was!

Thank you so much for everything you do. The education factor alone is worth it, the adventure in my imagination with your narration takes it over the top.

Awesome history. Goes to show you too. The chef on trail was the jack of all trades. Guy did everything. 🐸🍺🔪🔥

❤This episode, history is not taught anymore, many today believe everything comes from the grocery store!! they have no clue what entails food production. THANKS!!!

Well CK, I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF YOUR OLD AMERICAN STORIES. Thanks to you and Shannon for ur wonderful stories put to video. There is a romance that goes to those old time cowboy stories. It's all Americana. Thanks, we love ur stories.

That is a great piece of history and it’s cool to see that people like you are keeping those traditions alive.

Thank you Kent. I love the way you honor our veterans every show. Thats top notch!!👍🇺🇸

Respect to cowboy cook's love to learn how it's really done

Awesome history lesson. Cookie would be proud of your story. The Cowboy Way is true Americana. 🤠🇺🇲

Thanks so much Kent and Shannon for this much appreciated segment!! It's always great to learn about how you guys (and the many before) are able to keep those cowboys (and girls) happy with a great meal. Cheers!!

i love history and when people where honest, hardworking and wholesome.

I could listen to mr rollins talk about the way of life of a cooks life in the west has the ability to grab your attention and keep it without you getting bored I absolutely love this channel

These videos remind me of the cooking videos from WW2, they had the same problems a cowboy cook had. They needed to be able to move, they had to feed a lot of people, and they weren't safe. Wish there were more of those, it's hard to see what cooking was like in a warzone.

Kent Rolins - legendary cowboy.❤❤❤

Thank you, Kent and Miss Shannon, for another great video. I thought it was nice to give huge credit to someone that generally doesn't get a lot of recognition. Life of a cattle drive cook wasn't very glamorous. Get up well before everyone else, build the fire, boil the coffee, and cook the breakfast. Load up after everyone saddles up and goes to work. Then, pick up, pack up , rush ahead, and pick a spot for evening meal, get it cooked, and ready for the hands. Then clean everything and get ready to do it all again. Heck of a life, why would anyone in their right mind want a job like that ? Thanks cookie !!!

I really love these videos about how things were done were done in the past. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

Jokes aside, videos like this are my very favorite of your videos. The mix of history with cooking is perfect

That's interesting! I've driven that road, going from Texas to Liberal or Dodge city to pick up a load of beef headed to Oakland CA then on to Japan. The stockyards over there were amazingly huge.

My brother in law was an outfitter in Colorado for several years, and had a large wooden “chuck box” that was full of spices, seasonings, dry goods, etc. He cooked and managed a string of 12-15 horses. I love to hear his stories of adventures on the trail…very special.

Thank you so very much !! I really appreciate you stories of the past because that’s my Grandfather’s history too

One of the thing that i like abought Kent is his respect for my Flag and our Veterans God Bless and Cook On Kent

A good heart, and good food will never go out of style.

This was priceless! Thank you for the History and sharing it with us! Kent and Shannon, both of you are fantastic!

Planning, ingenuity, flexibility, taking advantage of opportunities, self-reliance,etc. Sound like rural life from the beginning of time.

You are such a treasure, could listen to your stories all day.

Yup, Wyoming breezes are something else. Ever want to see a semi trailer turn into an airplane? Wyoming's the place for you. I saw all 8 tires on my trailer leave the ground last year. It was very interesting, and I'm glad I saw it, but that one time was enough to last me the rest of my days.

Amazing story telling Kent, 100+ years of tradition still going strong.

Thank you for the history lesson, I love this kind of stuff, and keep the old Studebaker rolling! May God bless you and Shannon.

I am so grateful to have found your site and we are so lucky to have real Americans like you that made our nation such an amazing place. Thank You.

What a great escape into our past. Thank you and God bless Kent and family

Thank you for memories. Nothing better than hot biscuits out of a Dutch oven, coffee, maybe a dab of jelly on those biscuits. ❤

Something rarely seen in the movies, a summer kitchen. they were quite common, a separate building that was just a kitchen, dining area utilized in the summer so that the house didn't get so hot from cooking.

I love this episode. If you ever do another cattle run please make a video about it. And if you ever get a few cowboys that have been out there with you. I'm sure we would love to hear the stories around a campfire ! Thanks

Kent & Shan we love these video's! The restoring of the wagon was great to watch. God Bless your family.

I am so loving these Sunday shares. Thank you & God bless.🙏🇺🇸

This was a delight, I always enjoy learning about history. The resourcefulness of that time is amazing.

My Grandfather came to Indian Territory from South Carolina, spent a couple of winters living in a dugout watching cattle in the Big Pasture. He made one drive up the Western cattle trail, then married my grandmother who emigrated from Texas to I. T. in 1893. My Mother was born in the Chickasaw Nation in 1903. I was born in Marlow OK, about 400 yards from Hwy 81 where the old Chisholm trail was located.

I must be getting old, I can't watch Kent's videos without tearing up... "...so shines a good deed in a weary world."

My dad grew up on the 6s and triangles ranches and Richard Bolt was the cook and dad was the hood I miss that so much
