Very interesting method. Very different from most modern repros. Of course, it helps illustrate the need for reenactors (of all periods) to look at original sources instead of slavishly replicating always the same modern repros. Thanks, Santee.
ALways good to have options.
Hey Santee. Been watching for a few years now, just wanted to give you some well wishes from a former Texas boy now holed up in the middle of nowhere in Missouri. Your videos here on the Arizona Ghostriders channel has helped me more than you know in getting my old west knowledge up to snuff, and it makes for some interesting conversations with my dad. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thanks and enjoy the state where all them famous Confederate Guerillas came from.
I am in Missouri and I went to Texas and I am back in Missouri
A born and raised Missourian here
Mizzurah boy here as well.
Born and raised in Ozark Co…now living in Springfield.
this was great: you turned a simple need to replace an important item into a whole video that was informative and fun
Thank You!
Lacing cartridge loops, sure beats all the stitching…. Now I gotta look it up in my Packing Iron book. Thanks Santee great ideas! Have a great weekend.
Right on!
The folks at River Junction are great, I’ve been making purchases since they opened many years ago. As a matter of fact, while cleaning out my re-enacting stash, I found one of their catalogs, #1 to be exact. I have been eyeing that very belt myself, looks nice and like you said a heavy leather loaded with 40 44-40 cartridges gets heavy quick! Good luck on the new job!
Thank You!
I've been eyeballing that gun belt myself from the good folks at River Junction. Thank you Santee for making a video on it.
You're welcome.
Another great video Santee! Funny story, I realized when watching it that my family and I met you at what I'm assuming is the new gig a couple of weeks ago. You seemed SO familiar to me and now I understand why! My 4 boys still talk about their cowboy friend they met in AZ. Anyway, wish I would have put two and two together so I could have told you in person how much I enjoy your content here.
Awww, thanks! I really appreciate that. Glad you all had fun!
Saturday morn'n
Arizona GHOSTRIDERS
Coffee ☕
All is right with the world 🌎
Awesome
Hey Red!!!🥃🥃🥃
The cat looks a bit dejected. Wants to know why there are no cat sized T-Shirts.
Good looking belt there, Santee. Nice to see the old skills still surviving
Thank You!
Very cool Santee! Beautiful belt and so glad you won’t lose anymore bullets
Oh, I probably will. I found one in the dirt last week that I think I lost in 2019.
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😂
Nice belt. I've used River Junction in the past for Spanish-American War living history. The have some great stuff!
Cool!
I just wanted to thank you for teaching people about the past, all my old west knowledge has come from you Santee. Ever since I got into learning about the old west 3 years ago I found your channel, thanks for everything, keep up the good work!
I appreciate that!
These videos are over just to quickly. And thank you for sharing about your new belt you must be really happy and satisfied with that. It's nice to know that there are people out there still who take a lot of pride and putting something together. 🤠🌵
Thanks!
I stop in just to look over what he’s got at River Junction every time I’m in the area. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there so maybe a road trip should be required. I’ll wait until the weather warms up a little.
Thank You!
Santee, just fashioned a sort of cartridge belt for my wife's Ruger Police Service Six wheelgun and Henry Big Boy. Used a basic garrison belt and got a couple of Jay Pee police 18 cartridge loop sleeves on either side of the holster. Totally inauthentic for sure but it works for those firearms, Will check the link, thanks.
Sounds interesting!
I have the very same belt from River Junction. I like it a lot, it is very light, flexible and comfortable to wear. I used it, with a couple of River Junction holsters, as my first CAS rig, before I moved on to a dedicated CAS rig from Mernickle. I still use the River Junction rig for living history.
Cool!! I think you told me about it first, if I remember.
I have been a customer of River Junction for years. I have never been dissatisfied with their products or service. They are my go to shop for all things Old West.
CooL!
I can't believe that I missed this video. But the timing was on target. I have a holster that was made in the 1880-1890's. And no, I ain't the original owner. I was thinking about how much I need a cartridge belt for it. I have a modern made, heavy leather one. But that's not something I figure even the old cowboys would wear as it would make for an uncomfortable ride if you had a bedroll pressing that stiff leather into your spine all day. I'll look at the site of which you spoke. Thanks for always pointing us in the right direction.
It's significantly lighter.
I didn't know I needed to know more about 19th century gun belts until now
There you have it.
River Junction is great! I ordered a Matt Dillion hat from Gunsmoke and love it. I was amazed at the fit since I only provided my hat size. Highly recommended them.
Very cool!
I'll second that motion !!
Man I never expected a John Singleton reference unless it was Posse and I’m impressed!
🥃
Last week I just replaced my everyday custom leather gun belt (without loops) after 10 years. Still looks and works great, but I lost a fair amount of weight so I replaced it and got a ranger style belt. I have to say I like the leather tongue that goes under and into a loop -- it takes the pressure off the buckle and I find the belt doesn't try to roll over. Great topic. Thanks.
Great point!
Silk is good for both keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Yep
Great video Santee! Cartridge belts are "fun" to make! I've done a couple and they turned out pretty good, but boy, are they labor intensive!
Sure are. I figured a sewing machine would knock one out much quicker
My gun belts have usually been Amish leather work belts with belt slides added for cartridges as I need them. The buckles are usually held on by what looks like rivets, but they are actually screws on the backside, so the buckle can easily be changed. Gotta have my fancy silver belt buckles with real preserved scorpions encased in them.
Cool!
Good episode. Husband liked see others leather work. He works leather and made ours. Mine is modeled to fit my Navy Colt cap and ball with pouch. His is also a Navy Colt. But he also made a belt for a Colt Peacemaker
Very cool!
Did you know that by soaking the belt leather in water and letting it dry out in the sun it will shrink the leather to tighten up the bullet loops, the whole belt itself (so you don’t have to keep punching new holes) and lighten up the weight. Afterwards use febings leather conditioner sparingly on the grain side rather than grease or neatsfoot oil. Oil and grease make leather stretchy.
I enjoy your channel, I always get at least a chuckle.
Yes, that can help. Sometimes it's just a bandaid though, like with this belt.
Glad the channel educates and entertains you.
Awesome. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed weekend.
Appreciated!
I've been looking for a good slim jim holster for an 1860 Colt Army, left hand. This guy's work looks really nice. I'll contact him.
Your cat seems to be saying "You woke me up for this crap photo shoot? Where is my saucer of milk? Mew, mew, mew!!!"
LOL!
So cool. We saw you wore the belt at Old Tucson, Arizona.
I did!
Santee l love your channel you always have great topics, this belt one is great because I have a money belt made by Collins & Morrison Omaha Nebraska that started as a pistol cartridge bud has been changed to a double loop for rifle at some point in its life , my grandfather and father used it for the krag 30 40 . I now just hang it on the wall for display.
That is so cool!!
That’s a mighty fine looking belt you got there Santee.
Thank You!
Man that horse is a tough crowd, keep it up Santee😁👍
Thanks 👍
Interesting as always. That new belt is very sharp my friend. Cheers buddy!
Thank You!
Awesome! I like that red leather. I got a regular red leather waist belt that was made in Mexico and is heavily embossed with flora designs. A lady in SoCal imports them and sells them. I pocket carry so I just need the belt to hold my breeches up, don't need them around my knees.
Anyway, a famous Colt advertisement from the 1890s shows a ranch girl wearing a plain pistol belt and the holster itself has 6 loops for spare cartridges. I've seen an antique original version of that holster too.
I can't imagine how heavy a belt would be with loops end to end! Especially a Mill's style Prairie Belt with .45-70 Government.
👍😎
.
I think about cops today and all the weight they have on their belt. This is nothing compared to them!
That was extremely interesting. Did not realize there were so many differences in the belts. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Thank You!
Enjoyed the video, thanks! May I put in a plug for my hometown gun leather maker, El Paso Saddlery Company? Their Cheyenne rig is a beautifully tooled work of art in a functional money belt style. The holster can be carried on either side giving a cross-draw option if you want to carry butt forward. I find that 24 loops are a nice compromise with weight.
My second rig was an El Paso Saddlery and it was terrific.
Nice new belt you got there. Thanks for the Saturday kickoff.
Be safe out there, and take it easy man.
Thank You!
They didn't ware gun belts with bullet loops on the TV show Bonanza, but when Guy Williams guest stared, he did have a gun belt with bullet loops......
Another fun fact is, in all the westerns thats been on TV in the past 70+ plus years, theres only 3 or 4 westerns that actually show someone putting bullets in the gun belt loops, the last western I seen that showed that being done was Keven Costner on 2012 Hatfields & McCoys........
Good point
And a nice new gun belt it is! Great video as Always Santee im always mighty honored to see a new vid from from my favorite Ghostriders
Thank You!
Yep, thar, Santee. Ya dun dit it yet again! Great history on gun belts. Love River Junction products. Been wanting to get one of the hardware store belts for some time now. Siri looked real excited. Maybe it was your delivery when you told the joke to Jingles. 🤔 Good to see Ethan.
HAHAHA! Yes, Ethan is a heckuva kid.
You know what this means! I'm gonna have to try another style of gunbelt....someday! Thanks for the really cool video Santee!
HAHA!
Don't forget 120 degrees in the snow. Thanks for sharing !
HAH!
My favorite gunbelt isn't an exact match for Bianchi Duke holster but I like how it looks faded jeans. What the hell.😊😊😊😊😊
They don't have to match, that's the best part!
River Junction Trade Company = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ , Excellent Service , Excellent Quality Products and some of the nicest folks you'll ever have the pleasure of doing business with !! .
Awwesome!
Very interesting. My current gun belt has no cartridge loops mainly because I don't want to be carrying a SAA and 18 .45 Colt cartridges around my waist. That stuff gets pretty heavy. My hat's off to Roy Rogers with the two gun rig and all those bullets.
Yeah, they do get heavy.
I have that gunbelt and a matching holster from them for my SAA. They make quality stuff
Cool!
I've been buying from River Junction for the last couple years and they are wonderful to do business with. I've bought a holster and several clothing accessories from them.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, and belt, Santee. But I was hoping you'd model it for us.
Do a little turn on the catwalk. On the catwalk, yeah. 🤠
Next time!
@@ArizonaGhostriders
SWEET! 😃
Excellent episode Santee. I still need to get around to making my belt. One day. Have a great weekend!
Gonna take longer than a day, Timothy. Trust me!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Touche' Santee!
Nice video and gunbelt Santee . River Junction is a great resource for many Old West items . I purchased a period correct Cavalry Campaign hat from them.
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely beautiful belt! My next project is getting together the gun and belt for my western outfit.
Cool!
I always enjoy watching Arizona Ghost Riders,please keep up the good work.
Thank You!
Great video that was a beautiful belt. Wow. You really belted that one. Good thing I buckled up before watching.
I was strapped for ideas!
Very neat stuff love the belt sir great piece. Have a good week buddy.
Thanks 👍
Santee, I vaguely remember a vendor in Oatman selling gunbelts w/holster.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Favorite shop for grips! Haven’t bought anything else yet though.
Right on!
Great looking belt Santee. Sounds like you enjoy the new job. If so you'll never work a day in your life! 🤠
Thanks!
Thanks again Santee & Co.
Any time!
Been eyeing this belt. Thanks Santee
Thank You!
I recently purchased a cartridge belt off eBay, for my .45 LC Cattleman. I like it, but it is a tad heavy. It looks pretty good though.
As always, another great video.
As long as it serves the purpose!
Lol! Drinking during breakfast is the Cowboy way, ain't it? Hitchin' up a gunbelt with two guns, a knife, and all the cartridges when you don't have hips can be difficult. I use leather braces to hold it up.
You can have some of my hips.
@@ArizonaGhostriders lol, I will trade my Dunlop for them, you know, the part that Dunlop over your belt
Ok, I will trade you my Dunlop for them. The part that Dunlop over my belt!
Those look great. Thanks for the recommendations on cool western wear.
Any time!
I'm actually planning on picking up a Derby hat from them. Just have something a little more fancier.
Good.
Interesting video. I bought a holster from Etsy sometime back. Want to get a belt, for it now.
Go for it!
That is one pertty belt! Hey, I saw a very square toe boot in the video of poor poor you walking uphill with rocks…..soooo, hey sante, did cowboys have boots with the pointed toe or square toe. They seem to change with modern fashions nowadays.
Yes, square or slightly rounded were in vogue.
Hey Santee, thanks again for another great episode always enjoy your historical narrative about certain artifacts. Thank you so much for sharing have a great day.
You're welcome!
Thank you Santee. loved the prices of the old belts. New one looks great. Have a super weekend.
Thank You!
Another COOL, COOL video, Santee...
Loved the info, demos, included video and audio clips, and pace. You're the greatest. BTW, some of us got your long, face joke.😉🤣 👏🏜🤠👏
Thanks! Sometimes with the equines, their attention span is tricky. But it is a good joke, dangit.
There is a book by Herbert Asbury called The Barbary Coast. Although its technically not a western it is about San Francisco during the western expansion. It covers the gold rush era and I'm pretty sure you'll find it interesting
Thanks!
Santee, I was expecting a Arkansas Toothpick instead of a Benchmade and a box from the Pony Express😁
Every time I put the Arkansas Toothpick in my jeans pocket it cuts through and into my leg.
Sometimes progress is a good thing. 😅
A nice belt and as a leather worker I can tell the quality and craftsmanship
Yup
Brother, I understand walking around with the heavy gun belt. When you're carrying 20-30 lead bullets around, it gets heavy fast. I'm trying to find a lighter weight alternative to lead for my dummy rounds.
Well, you could 3D print and paint. I've considered that.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I've thought about using some JB Weld in a bullet mold. Just gotta make sure the JB Weld doesn't 'weld' the mold shut.
Hey Santee been watching for about 3 years now and was wondering if you did a video on different types of houses in the old west.
I did one on houses and covered different building materials. I should do more one day...
Very interesting. I didn’t know about those belts.
Thanks for watching!
Very interestingly informative, inspiring and awesome video, I really liked and enjoyed it.
I learned a lot about different gun belts from the old west.
Great job and well done, keep up the great work.
I got a lot of inspiration for the old west and retrofuturism inspired story/series I’m working on writing.
I’m definitely going to be adding different old West gun belts to my story alongside old west frontier attire.
There’s also going to 90s and 2000s retrofuturism attire in my story as well.
My story’s main character Mercia Hawkins will mostly be dressed in old west attire , well except for when he works at the main building of Gamelan investigative agency inc, where he is employed as one of the Mystery Z Files investigators.
In my story Mercia is both a lawman deputy and a investigative-agent who investigates anomalous paranormal activity.
Thank You!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome 💕🌟😎❤️👍🏼
Great video Santee. I do like the plain style I me need to look into that
Cool!
Hey !A little whisky with corn flakes never hurt anyone
Right!
Nothing wrong with a drink, we live in the Wild West after all.
True.
I really like that new belt gonna have to look into the lacing idea when I build my next one
Good.
Another great piece of history!
Thank You!
Wow i really like that belt. Mine is very old and falling apart. I am going to go check that place out....i just wish i could wear mine everyday😓
When I wear mine to work, I put it on at work. I don't walk into grocery stores or anywhere with it on. Makes people curious or nervous.
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😂 i bet!!! only place i think you can go all over town wearing a gun belt and look normal is tombstone.
Huh, I didn't even know about this kind of gun belt. This is a cool belt rig.
Although, most of the rigs I've created have some pig saude lined on the back of some of my gunbelts.
You ever lined your gunbelts before?
I've had lined gunbelts and they make a difference.
Howdy from Kentucky Santee,
That sure is a fancy Pew-Pew Strap. 🤠
Great video. Hope You and the Mrs. have a great weekend.
JT & Ole What's Her Name? 😁
HAAHAH! Thanks.
I wonder what that is like current day price? Maybe $400 since the current day equipment like a vest once fully put together is about that price. LOL. Another fun topic Santee.
Thank You!
Nice! I need a new belt myself and this was some great inspiration!
Go for it!
Loved seeing Kermit’s cowboy boots!
Good!
Maybe load up some blanks with nickel cases so you don't have to worry about verdigris with your new belt.
Not a bad idea!
Jingles turned away because he had already heard that joke.
Some equines are just too serious.
Looks like some great quality products. Great info 👍
Thanks 👍
That's good to know a leather tool belt👍🏽
It sure is
@@ArizonaGhostriders I just bought a leather 6 shooter holster but don't have a belt for it. I was going to look for wide belts, now I'm going to the hardware store
Awesome video Santee!!! That gun belt lookes amazing!!!! The end part with the hoke had me dying!!😂😂😂
Good!
Very cool. Great video Santee
Glad you enjoyed it
That's cool you found a belt that fit
You haven't?
Sweet belt !! Mines made from a diamond back that near killt me after he bit me I had my girl. At the time fetch my gun out of the truck blew his fangs off so the hospitals knew what genus Bit me krofab is specific to the genus that you need hey Santee IV always wondered what kept rapscallion and sidewinder from just grabbing better or nicer guns at those gun check stations ? I mean your shooters broken you just kinda see brazen bills beautiful ruger Blackhawk hanging there what would keep u from grabbing that Blackhawk and skadadling
WoW!
my reenactment rig suffered the same loose bullet syndrome but with the help of gorilla glue, they stay right there..lol
HA!
Have ya done one on factory made holsters? I understand a store could order a barrel of holsters and buyers picked out the one they liked.
I've mentioned it in videos.
Another awesome job, thank you , keep them coming
You bet
I have to keep adjusting my belt too....
I still do. Walking around makes everything just settle downwards. This belt does it much better.
Hey Santee!! Well wishes from Houston, TX!! I would love to learn about tobacco use in the Old West... Pipes, pipe tobacco, cigarettes, roll your own makings n papers, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, n did cowboys "dip" tobacco like kickers do today?
I have a couple on that!
