The authenticity, pride, quiet integrity, and love for the cowboy way of life is what shines through here. The combination of Kent's storytelling, Shannon's perspective as the one capturing these lovely moments to an image, and the music so expertly mixed in the background puts us into the experience to enjoy. Love this. I swear I can smell the wood smoke and hear the wind blowing through camp.
❤ The beauty in the surroundings and Shannon's work here is indescribable. Always love Shannon's work, but it really shines here. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Kent, I'm learning so much from you about outdoor cooking. I've been an outdoor castiron girl all my 69 years; but there is always something to learn. Nothing beats the taste that a wood fire adds to food.
Kent please keep telling these stories! Your story telling is one of the greatest things that endeared me to this channel. Shannon, don't sell yourself short! The pictures in your and Kent's cookbooks are beautifully composed, and show the world that you are the consummate professional.
My 95 year old mom (who was married to a real old timer cowboy, named George) watched your show with me. George moved from Colorado by a horse drawn wagon as a kid. Mom has passed now, but every time I see you on I remember how she loved watching your show. This episode is dear to my heart, reminding me of that woman I loved SO much and that cowboy that took her heart from hello. Thanks SO much for doing what you do. Loved this episode!
Oh yeah, I truly love this. I got to know some real cowboys in western Colorado when I was a teen. I wasnt a cowboy as there was so much more to learn. But I got to do some cowboy work and get to know some fine people. And horses! ☺ And Dogs! 😊 Thank you for sharing and God bless.
YES!!! More of these. I am a photographer. Shannon, you ARE a professional photographer. You care about your shots, you recognize and strive for quality and you know what a "good shot" is. THAT is a professional.
Kent is not only a great chef, he is one of the most fantastic story tellers that I have encountered. Together with Shannon, it becomes a masterpiece. Thank you as always for another video and greetings from Scotland, UK.
Mr. Gold, I'm sorry to disagree with you. Kent (and he'll probably tell you this himself) is a cook. A CHEF make food that looks good. A COOK makes food that tastes good. I'll go with a cook every time. Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out, lol!!
I am a retired rancher from Idaho... I have to admit that I miss the cowboy poets and story tellers! Most if not all are great and provide a method to handing down and keeping alive those truly, "oral traditions!"
The cowboy life is a real life that most don't really know anything about and this kind of life was key in making this country a Great Nation. Great content.
This is very humbling in a lot of ways. It’s a wonderful authentic distraction from all the stuff going on now days and yet bring you into a life that is simple yet hard, fun yet challenging and you can get obsorbed into the stories. Life is gods hands is biscuits and coffee @ 4am.
The two of you are a national treasure. I have watched all the videos of the Bell ranch that you have made and I go back to them when I'm a little melancholy. Please keep this up. History is precious and there are way too many people trying to erase it. God bless you both.
Kent … you and Shannon are such great story tellers, I could sit and listen for hours … or until the coffee ran out … thank you both for sharing your lives with us … 😎
As I said from the first video of yours I saw, you open a portal to our history no one else does. The true life of a cowboy, the hard work of working herds to feed the people they will never meet but know it has to be. Yes, please, keep this heritage and tradition alive in all ways. Shannon captures moments in time of both today and long ago, not pictures, the essence of life of a cowboy and the chuck wagon cook that tends to their lives.
Well, Shannon, I am a professional photographer and will say you absolutely nailed it. Photography at it's core isn't about settings, or technique, or the latest and greatest gear ... it's about communication and telling a story. In that regard, I could not have done better! Fantastic shots! On an unrelated note ... are you guys familiar with Harold Holden (cowboy/western artist from Enid)? I've photographed him a few times ... I mention it because Kent reminds me of him with the same gentle and wholesome manner. Loved this video .... more please.
YES, MORE PLEASE!!! Because of the reasons everyone else is saying. 👍👍👍. You've lived it. Share it. Pass it on for us to learn from. And others to remember by. ❤
This story is really, True Grit. Cowboy's working in all kinds of weather, little pay, and long hours, yet this is what they love the most. God bless them all.
I love this concept. It makes what you do more personal and more real, at least to me. Having grown up in eastern Montana in the 50s and 60s it's good to actually see that the spirit of the cowboy and love of freedom and independance still exists. Thank you so much. ❤
Hello 👋 Mary. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Want to say thank you these kinda of stories I could sit and listen to for hours.... I can't think of a better name than the cowboy life may God bless and your wife keep them coming my friend
Thank you Kent for sharing another aspect of your life with us. For those of us who don't live in the U. S. A. That life of yours is very admirable. Your generosity is appreciated. Those photographs that Shannon shows us in that magnificent book are really wonderful. I have not had the opportunity to see all your videos, but it would be a great opportunity for you to share your knowledge in relation to other cawboy's topics, for example hats. Greetings and thanks again.
I love every episode that you and Shannon post! I espcially like the tales of the cowboys! I have been a fan westerns and that way of life. Keep them coming!
Hello handsome are you single can we get to know each other better.... I'm single no kids needs a serious relationship kindly reply if you're interested
When I was deployed overseas in the Army, it was always the cooks who had the hardest job-up before dawn and finally heading to bed long after sundown. Thanks for showing us the cowboy side of things.
That was such a great story and the way you talked about Gary I could actually feel the calm nature he brought to the camp. I hope you will share more of your ranch stories with us.
👍Love the "Snapshots from Around the Fire"👌 and would love to see more of them; possibly a few minutes longer per Segment, like 20-30 Minutes? (Y'all might consider either making it a Weekly show, or make up a few of them, and put them out when you are unable to, or the Weather is horrid, or ya' just don't have the energy or are on the Road or whatever reason you are unable to Cook.. Put one of them out)🤠Thanks for sharing the Art and Stories with us🤟
I did like this type of video. As I get older I find myself appreciating when people take time to keep things alive and remembering the past. I love your cooking videos but these are cool too.
We love watching and listening to you and Shannon. My wife and I met in horseback, God blessed us to raise 7 children together and everyday is an adventure. Blessings to you, Shannon and the channel. He is Risen!
I loved the pictures. Shanon did a wonderful job with light and shadow. I try to paint. I know how hard it is. And nothing beats the way you two talk and tell a story. I could listen all day. I think it takes a combination of all. Thank you. I wish I could paint on paper as well as you can paint picture with words and this time with pictures. Thank you
Hello 👋 Kathy. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Most stories of our lives go untold. The experiences between people of like mind, work ethics, and faith are the greatest experiences our creator wanted us to experience and learn from. Thank you for sharing yours! God bless you and Shannon both!
The Way It Is -- Is The Way It Was You and Shannon are keeping alive a way of life that built this country -- hard work, honesty, integrity, honor, neighborliness -- these are the foundations of this country. Thank you so much for all your programs. If I could see ONE that would wind my crank, would be one devoted to your crew of quality control experts and how they became such important parts of your family.
Can't wait to watch this when I get home!!! Love cowboy story time haha. Thank you for all you do to be positive, uplifting and clean on youtube for all family to watch. God Bless
This combat vet loves every story and every recipe. It’s always a joy to see my alerts when a new video posts. I really like this story behind the picture episodes and can’t wait to listen to more. Keep up the good work y’all!
Yes. I think more campfire stories are warranted. You delve into the “how to” as well as the history. I’m not sure if you have any apprentices out there but this new trajectory will inspire and educate those of us that want that kind of knowledge. It’s easy to boil water on the prairie but to do it the right way….well it gonna take you to teach us.
Great job with the camera Shannon, always take a photo shot of what your eyes really are seeing from your heart so YOU can tell everyone what the photo means to you and explain what you see. It brings out the beauty of the picture and provokes the thoughts of what others see too. You did well and we are blessed to be able to see the beauty of the REAL COWBOY LIFE and the Joy and agony of the COWBOY CAMP COOK'S side of the story too. You all stay safe and keep up the great videos. My newest cookbook came in Saturday and due to a family emergency I haven't got to go through it yet but I will enjoy it thoroughly. Fred.
I love story telling, it brings me back to my childhood and around the campfire. Cowboy stories are the best, the way things were, the way things still are. I know I would like to see and hear stories like you do with a good morals and Christian values about 10 - 15 minutes long. Author Zane Grey got me reading as a kid.🤠
Hello handsome are you single can we get to know each other better.... I'm single no kids needs a serious relationship kindly reply if you're interested
I really love your stories and cooking. I can sit and listen to you all day. I came across your channel in 2021 when I caught covid and was sick for 30 day's. Watching you cook and listening to your stories help me get through that tough time in my life.
I really love these stories, as it helps me understand, in some small way, what you and the cowboy's life was like during a cattle drive. Loved the pictures as they really captured those very early mornings and sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. Please keep these stories coming our way.
The stories of our past are dying with each generation. When you can see and hear about the American Cowboy and camp talk, it's priceless. Please keep them coming. Shannon's pictures truly capture the essence of cowboy life. Thank you both for what you bring to this country that so needs "simple" back in it with God.
These are great shots Ken; it's hard to believe Shannon isn't a professional photographer! Her photographs capture the real essence of the cowboy life out on the plains, the real west! Keep on filming these great stories!
KENT AND SHANNON YOU DEFINITELY HAVE MY APPROVAL ABOUT THIS VIDEO!!! I GREW UP IN THE COWBOY LIFE!!! AND IM POSITIVE THAT ALL OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AND FIRST TIME VIEWER'S WILL AGREE!!! AND PLEASE DO KEEP YOUR VIDEOS GOING!!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK MEMORIES!!!👍👍👍🙏🙏
Would definitely love to hear more of your personal stories of your life and time on the ranches. Would also love to hear more about the history of cowboys and ranches in general which I know you have covered quite a bit but I always love me some history. Can never get enough!
Ain’t nuttin better’n a good cup of coffee. Love these stories. I save them to treasure them in the evening when I settle down after the day and cozy up with my coffee and listening to you guys talk about the west and the true stories about life…real life. Thanks for your stories and you are both legends. Thanks so much.
GREAT!!! Enjoying the "behind the scenes" of the trails as " Cookie" meets the ramblers. Shannon IS a professional photographer with an excellent eye for photos that tell a story. Kent's tales and Shannon's photos is an incredible combination. We now have all three your cookbooks. Thanks.
Hello 👋 Sharon. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I just wanted to thank you for the podcast! It isn't everything that get this old water pump in my eyes to flowing, but the pictures convey so much, they show us what a great tradition rich in respect, Love for God and Country that so many take for granted. The comradery of those who love it like you and Shannon do! May God shine his face on you, and light the trails that you travel down. Blessings from a brother who loves this land like I know you two do also !
Thank you Kent and Shan for sharing the stories behind the great pictures! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you reminisce and walk down memory lane with you. I would love to see more of this type of content from you! I look forward to the next installment your Cowboy Camp Collection! God bless you both!
This is absolutely awesome. I love stories like this. Hearing and learning about things I may never have the chance to experience myself. I also want to say thank you for always keeping the soldiers fighting in your thoughts and prayers. I am the proud Granddaughter of a Vietnam and Desert storm vet that last year went to be with our Great Lord. We love watching you and the pups❤️💜🥰
I do always enjoy the cooking videos. But its always nice when you do something different. Like the home remedies, or some cowboy history. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Love that cowboy life. One a week wouldn't make me mad !!!!! Keep em coming Kent and Shan. BTW....Awesome pics, Shan... you capture the perfect moments 👏👍
Kent keep them coming. It melts my heart and then swells it with pride to hear the references to God and then see what America is all about. It's our true heart and soul that we need a lot more of.
I really enjoy these Tales from the Trail. It is very inspiring to hear tradition, dedication, and love for life, is still alive and well in today's world. Please, more stories.
Kent. I am one that loves the old west stories and to see and hear these the life behind these pictures is absolutely awesome. You and Shannon not only are telling the stories and sharing the pictures but were there and lived it. Straight from the horse's mouth to our ears makes it feel as tho we are there with you. I could sit here and watch and listen to this all day long. One day the Lord willin I will get to meet you and your beautiful bride. I would love to sit drink a cup of coffee with you two around the campfire and hear the wealth of knowledge you bring. Thank you for sharing your lives with us wanna be's.
I truly enjoyed this storytelling and picture time. Enjoyed it very much. I liked that both of you spoke, Shannon sharing her filming and experiences being out there really added to it. PLEASE do more of these Sunday pics and chats.🤠💟 📸 📚 ☕️
One of the best videos Shannon and Kent. Touched my heart and soul, it did. Words fail me to express how beautiful it was so I will not try. I can only say thank you, take care and God bless.
Brings back so many memories from my early childhood. Great grandma had the coffee brewin and bacon and eggs a coookin. Great grandpa would load us up in the hay wagon and set out to round up the cows. The sites, the sounds, the smells of that old ranch are with me forever. Kent and Shannon, thank you for what you do. You remind me that there is still good is this world.
i love these type of videos. my dad was a cowboy, i was raised on a farm, i miss the old days. I think people just aren’t the same anymore, and maybe these videos will speak to hearts and show everyone what is most important and what we need to go back to. God bless you all.
Kent and Shannon, I have all three of your cook books. What I appreciate the most about your cook books are the recipes that have stories and pictures associated with where they came from or how you have cooked those dishes on the trail. Shannon, I think what really makes a good photographer is knowing when to pick up the camera and capture a moment. Finding the spirit of the moment is much more important than knowing all the camera settings. Shannon, your pictures are amazing and I thank you for capturing those moments and sharing them with all of us. This video was excellent and I hope you do make it a series.
Shannan and Kent This is what it's about! You have brought it out with this video. Not that you haven't hit the ball out of the park on all the others, but you have put a face on real working people with this video. Thank you for the recognition.
Kent, I love the videos where you are just telling a story. And then to hear the story of some of these pictures from both you perspective and Shannon's is amazing. Please make more like this.
Photo's in the Life and Time of Kent and Shannon Rollins, Stay Safe, Remember History, And Thanks For The Memories...God Bless...America, The Beautiful...
Kent and Shan, never question the value of sharing your stories with everyone. Doing that, is a big part of the traditions you are keeping alive. Keep it up and keep them going! 🤠👍
So thankful you and Shannon are here Kent. You keep something alive in all of us that we want to hold onto even though our lives today get in the way. I never miss a video, and usually comment, but this one is very special. You guys are on to something big here! Love you guys, take care, be safe and keep those videos rolling! God Bless !
Kent I sure appreciate your videos, as much as most of us do. I just want to thank you for keeping the West alive. And your patriotism🇺🇸 and most importantly your love of the lord. God bless you.🙏
Thank you for all you and Shannon do to keep the cowboy life alive through you photos and videos. You and Shannon are National treasures. Hope to see y’all in El Sigundo on April 6. Hope your trail is smooth, your critters are healthy and your powder is dry.
I love all your videos. This is a great series to add to the channel. To hear your stories to the pictures and just live on the trail, is fascinating to me. Thank you for all you do. Shannon, you are a great photographer. Seeing your photos today and hearing the stories makes me want to get back into photography. I did it as a college student and still love to take pictures. Now my pictures are of nature, kids and families. Keep the fun coming!
This was a refreshing and much enjoyed change of pace. I would love to see more of this video journal type of content. Kent, you have got to have enough pictures and stories from decades of cowboy life to keep us all entertained for many years to come, and I am eagerly waiting and hoping you will bless us with your tales of those experiences. Thanks again for being such an absolute BOSS ! ! !
I really enjoyed your “Tales from the Trails”. I’m no cowboy, although I have raised a few cows. The stories take me back to a time when I was young…mom, dad, granddad and myself each had horses that we road on the weekends and occasionally on a “trail ride”. These rides were typically 25 miles or less but included camping overnight, community meals, campfires and singing. Granddad, or “Pa” ran a service station that sold saddles and tack. He was sort of the local horse whisperer and was always eager to put King through his tricks. Your videos put in mind of those simpler times in the 60’s. I’m now 70 and these horse riding folks have all passed. Thanks for rekindling my memories. I believe you need to remember your past to truly know where you’re headed. Ride on my friend.
I loved this. I miss living on the ranch and it reminded me of the many rodeo cowboys I've met that would come to our practice events and bulldogging school. There's also a book written about my mom's side with a story about when the wife of a cousin (my great gpa and 4 brothers had ranches near each other) was miles away in the Idaho mountains with the horses when her husband had gone back to the homestead and got delayed because of an illness associated with his diabetes and she realized after him not returning that she'd have to move all those horses back on her own. No problem for the tough people back then. That little gal just got up onto that lead mare and brought them home on her own.
So far this has been my favorite of all your videos. I once had a dream to be a cowboy. Along came Garth Brooks and assured me that it "weren't easy like the movies said it was". At 60 years old now I can't even imagine sleeping on the ground, let alone settin' in a saddle from dawn to dusk. But I do enjoy the outdoors and a good cup of coffee on a cool morning. Yes, please continue with more videos like this, as well as your other ones.
This is so great! My grandpa came from Texas to California with Jack Harris and spent plenty of time out on the range; I feel this gives me an insight to that part of his life!
We really appreciate all that you do. The warmth comes through your food. We would like to see more of the pictures. We just received our third cookbook. We look forward to more pictures and more stories!
Always such a pleasure. Someone clever on here will inspire you with an idea. Really, just keep sharing the images, stories, trials & triumphs from the trail….
Oh, Shannon, ALL your pictures in this video tell a story and convey emotion. As a photographer, I understand these are the best of many. Does Not Matter. Please keep telling your story.
I love to hear these stories! Cowboys, Coffee & Cookin'...just says it all, right?? You two have so much to offer us all and I, for one, will listen and watch anytime! 💞
Maybe you should, share stories from the drive. Heck, I see another book coming! Thank you so much for sharing your stories. It's a part of life most only dream of and you are privileged enough to live it and kind enough to share it with us dreamers!
"Where real cowboys roam". Love it and miss being around live stock. Was raised in Keller Texas, till I turned 30 then moved to Franklin N.C. Love horses cows the whole works. One day I'm going to come to your cooking school. Better go now,God bless and keep you Shannon, Beagle and all the other hounds safe and in his hand,Sam Kelly jr.
The authenticity, pride, quiet integrity, and love for the cowboy way of life is what shines through here. The combination of Kent's storytelling, Shannon's perspective as the one capturing these lovely moments to an image, and the music so expertly mixed in the background puts us into the experience to enjoy. Love this. I swear I can smell the wood smoke and hear the wind blowing through camp.
Amen, Susan. Amen and very well said!!
You nailed it Susan 👍👍👍👌
I was feeling the same vibes watching, it took me to a happy place. 👌🙂♥️
thanks to you all, we are thinking about doing some of these each month, please share with your friends
Love this idea. Great job.

@@scottswan3722 : Thank you, Scott! I stand corrected sir. Strangely enough, I grappled with chef vs cook as I was commenting...
I am a retired rancher from Idaho... I have to admit that I miss the cowboy poets and story tellers! Most if not all are great and provide a method to handing down and keeping alive those truly, "oral traditions!"
We raised our family in Idaho. Great country and people. Blessings to you, friend.
Hats off to Shannon for such fabulous pictures, and to Kent for being there when he was needed the most. May the Good Lord Bless you both.
The cowboy life is a real life that most don't really know anything about and this kind of life was key in making this country a Great Nation. Great content.
I love hearing y’all talk about the ranch life. “Behind the Picture” is a perfect name for these segments.
This is very humbling in a lot of ways. It’s a wonderful authentic distraction from all the stuff going on now days and yet bring you into a life that is simple yet hard, fun yet challenging and you can get obsorbed into the stories. Life is gods hands is biscuits and coffee @ 4am.
Kent, this touched something deep inside me, and I couldn’t keep the tears from coming to my eyes. God bless you and yours!
I know exactly what your saying brother.. felt same feeling
I also felt that. A tear escaped my eye as well.
The two of you are a national treasure. I have watched all the videos of the Bell ranch that you have made and I go back to them when I'm a little melancholy. Please keep this up. History is precious and there are way too many people trying to erase it. God bless you both.
Kent … you and Shannon are such great story tellers, I could sit and listen for hours … or until the coffee ran out … thank you both for sharing your lives with us … 😎
Coffee? Got some?. Mmmm Mmm, thank you
Pictures, people, and places. I love the fact that it is not just about the pictures themselves, but also of the people on both sides of the lens.
Can’t ever go wrong with a Cowboy story. In camp or on the range, you just can’t go wrong.
As I said from the first video of yours I saw, you open a portal to our history no one else does. The true life of a cowboy, the hard work of working herds to feed the people they will never meet but know it has to be. Yes, please, keep this heritage and tradition alive in all ways. Shannon captures moments in time of both today and long ago, not pictures, the essence of life of a cowboy and the chuck wagon cook that tends to their lives.

YES, MORE PLEASE!!!
Because of the reasons everyone else is saying. 👍👍👍.
You've lived it. Share it. Pass it on for us to learn from. And others to remember by. ❤
Kent is such a wholesome and kind guy, if i could choose anyone to have a meal with it would be him ( a meal that he cooked of course )
For a title, how about something very simple, such as, “Scenes from Camp.”
That would be such a fantastic experience to have a great meal with such an amazing person.
He is the cowboy cookie version of Mr. Rogers or Bob Ross.
I am moving back to Kent's neck of the woods soon. And I would love to sit down with him for a cup of coffee someday.
I'd rather have a meal with Kent and Shan than any famous person in the world.
This story is really, True Grit. Cowboy's working in all kinds of weather, little pay, and long hours, yet this is what they love the most. God bless them all.

I'm single no kids needs a serious relationship kindly reply if you're interested
Moments like these you'll never forget and always treasure. Thank you
I really like these types of real, American videos of cowboy life. They have a historical aspect that we, as a nation, should keep alive.
Definitely want to see more like this. Great stories of who the modern cowboy is.
Maybe call it “Tales of today’s cowboys”.
When I was deployed overseas in the Army, it was always the cooks who had the hardest job-up before dawn and finally heading to bed long after sundown. Thanks for showing us the cowboy side of things.
I love the old traditional ways. Please don't ever stop

You and Shannon are keeping alive a way of life that built this country -- hard work, honesty, integrity, honor, neighborliness -- these are the foundations of this country. Thank you so much for all your programs. If I could see ONE that would wind my crank, would be one devoted to your crew of quality control experts and how they became such important parts of your family.
Can't wait to watch this when I get home!!! Love cowboy story time haha. Thank you for all you do to be positive, uplifting and clean on youtube for all family to watch. God Bless
I enjoyed the stories behind the photos. I'll watch any other such presentations you wish to share.
This combat vet loves every story and every recipe. It’s always a joy to see my alerts when a new video posts. I really like this story behind the picture episodes and can’t wait to listen to more. Keep up the good work y’all!
Tales from the trails y'all are a special couple and me and my family enjoy everything you guys offer I learn many things from ole Cowboy Kent!!
Yes. I think more campfire stories are warranted. You delve into the “how to” as well as the history. I’m not sure if you have any apprentices out there but this new trajectory will inspire and educate those of us that want that kind of knowledge. It’s easy to boil water on the prairie but to do it the right way….well it gonna take you to teach us.
Great job with the camera Shannon, always take a photo shot of what your eyes really are seeing from your heart so YOU can tell everyone what the photo means to you and explain what you see. It brings out the beauty of the picture and provokes the thoughts of what others see too. You did well and we are blessed to be able to see the beauty of the REAL COWBOY LIFE and the Joy and agony of the COWBOY CAMP COOK'S side of the story too. You all stay safe and keep up the great videos. My newest cookbook came in Saturday and due to a family emergency I haven't got to go through it yet but I will enjoy it thoroughly. Fred.
I love story telling, it brings me back to my childhood and around the campfire. Cowboy stories are the best, the way things were, the way things still are. I know I would like to see and hear stories like you do with a good morals and Christian values about 10 - 15 minutes long. Author Zane Grey got me reading as a kid.🤠
Hello handsome are you single can we get to know each other better....
I'm single no kids needs a serious relationship kindly reply if you're interested
I really love your stories and cooking. I can sit and listen to you all day. I came across your channel in 2021 when I caught covid and was sick for 30 day's. Watching you cook and listening to your stories help me get through that tough time in my life.
I really love these stories, as it helps me understand, in some small way, what you and the cowboy's life was like during a cattle drive. Loved the pictures as they really captured those very early mornings and sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. Please keep these stories coming our way.
The stories of our past are dying with each generation. When you can see and hear about the American Cowboy and camp talk, it's priceless. Please keep them coming. Shannon's pictures truly capture the essence of cowboy life. Thank you both for what you bring to this country that so needs "simple" back in it with God.
These are great shots Ken; it's hard to believe Shannon isn't a professional photographer! Her photographs capture the real essence of the cowboy life out on the plains, the real west! Keep on filming these great stories!
KENT AND SHANNON YOU DEFINITELY HAVE MY APPROVAL ABOUT THIS VIDEO!!! I GREW UP IN THE COWBOY LIFE!!! AND IM POSITIVE THAT ALL OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AND FIRST TIME VIEWER'S WILL AGREE!!! AND PLEASE DO KEEP YOUR VIDEOS GOING!!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK MEMORIES!!!👍👍👍🙏🙏
Would definitely love to hear more of your personal stories of your life and time on the ranches. Would also love to hear more about the history of cowboys and ranches in general which I know you have covered quite a bit but I always love me some history. Can never get enough!
Ain’t nuttin better’n a good cup of coffee. Love these stories. I save them to treasure them in the evening when I settle down after the day and cozy up with my coffee and listening to you guys talk about the west and the true stories about life…real life. Thanks for your stories and you are both legends. Thanks so much.
GREAT!!! Enjoying the "behind the scenes" of the trails as " Cookie" meets the ramblers. Shannon IS a professional photographer with an excellent eye for photos that tell a story. Kent's tales and Shannon's photos is an incredible combination. We now have all three your cookbooks. Thanks.
LOVED this! Like a warm biscuit n butter!! "Coffee n Cowboys"
Hello 👋 Sharon. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I just wanted to thank you for the podcast! It isn't everything that get this old water pump in my eyes to flowing, but the pictures convey so much, they show us what a great tradition rich in respect, Love for God and Country that so many take for granted. The comradery of those who love it like you and Shannon do! May God shine his face on you, and light the trails that you travel down. Blessings from a brother who loves this land like I know you two do also !
Thanks so much and God bless you
Kent, keep those stories coming!! I love them!!
Thank you Kent and Shan for sharing the stories behind the great pictures! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you reminisce and walk down memory lane with you. I would love to see more of this type of content from you! I look forward to the next installment your Cowboy Camp Collection! God bless you both!
This is absolutely awesome. I love stories like this. Hearing and learning about things I may never have the chance to experience myself. I also want to say thank you for always keeping the soldiers fighting in your thoughts and prayers. I am the proud Granddaughter of a Vietnam and Desert storm vet that last year went to be with our Great Lord. We love watching you and the pups❤️💜🥰
I do always enjoy the cooking videos. But its always nice when you do something different. Like the home remedies, or some cowboy history. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Love that cowboy life. One a week wouldn't make me mad !!!!! Keep em coming Kent and Shan. BTW....Awesome pics, Shan... you capture the perfect moments 👏👍
Loved this video!!! We get an appreciation for y’all’s life experiences in these “Tales from the Chuck Box”
Kent keep them coming. It melts my heart and then swells it with pride to hear the references to God and then see what America is all about. It's our true heart and soul that we need a lot more of.
I really enjoy these Tales from the Trail. It is very inspiring to hear tradition, dedication, and love for life, is still alive and well in today's world. Please, more stories.
Kent. I am one that loves the old west stories and to see and hear these the life behind these pictures is absolutely awesome. You and Shannon not only are telling the stories and sharing the pictures but were there and lived it. Straight from the horse's mouth to our ears makes it feel as tho we are there with you. I could sit here and watch and listen to this all day long. One day the Lord willin I will get to meet you and your beautiful bride. I would love to sit drink a cup of coffee with you two around the campfire and hear the wealth of knowledge you bring. Thank you for sharing your lives with us wanna be's.
I truly enjoyed this storytelling and picture time. Enjoyed it very much. I liked that both of you spoke, Shannon sharing her filming and experiences being out there really added to it. PLEASE do more of these Sunday pics and chats.🤠💟 📸 📚 ☕️
A suggestion for the series; Cowboys, Cattle and Cast Iron.
I feel so privileged to see and hear this! Please share more with us! And thank you to the cowboys!
One of the best videos Shannon and Kent. Touched my heart and soul, it did. Words fail me to express how beautiful it was so I will not try. I can only say thank you, take care and God bless.
Brings back so many memories from my early childhood. Great grandma had the coffee brewin and bacon and eggs a coookin. Great grandpa would load us up in the hay wagon and set out to round up the cows. The sites, the sounds, the smells of that old ranch are with me forever. Kent and Shannon, thank you for what you do. You remind me that there is still good is this world.
A traditional day on the range. My submit. Enjoyed it!
This is great stuff! Your history is like storytime from another era. Please keep it going!
i love these type of videos. my dad was a cowboy, i was raised on a farm, i miss the old days. I think people just aren’t the same anymore, and maybe these videos will speak to hearts and show everyone what is most important and what we need to go back to. God bless you all.
Kent and Shannon, I have all three of your cook books. What I appreciate the most about your cook books are the recipes that have stories and pictures associated with where they came from or how you have cooked those dishes on the trail. Shannon, I think what really makes a good photographer is knowing when to pick up the camera and capture a moment. Finding the spirit of the moment is much more important than knowing all the camera settings. Shannon, your pictures are amazing and I thank you for capturing those moments and sharing them with all of us. This video was excellent and I hope you do make it a series.
Shannan and Kent
This is what it's about!
You have brought it out with this video.
Not that you haven't hit the ball out of the park on all the others, but you have put a face on real working people with this video. Thank you for the recognition.
Kent, I love the videos where you are just telling a story. And then to hear the story of some of these pictures from both you perspective and Shannon's is amazing. Please make more like this.
Photo's in the Life and Time of Kent and Shannon Rollins, Stay Safe, Remember History, And Thanks For The Memories...God Bless...America, The Beautiful...
This gave me chills, you two. This reminds us that you folks have earned your stripes the hard way. Thank you.
Kent and Shan, never question the value of sharing your stories with everyone. Doing that, is a big part of the traditions you are keeping alive. Keep it up and keep them going! 🤠👍
So thankful you and Shannon are here Kent. You keep something alive in all of us that we want to hold onto even though our lives today get in the way. I never miss a video, and usually comment, but this one is very special. You guys are on to something big here! Love you guys, take care, be safe and keep those videos rolling! God Bless !
Good stories always go with good food. Keep telling the stories. You give us memories to go along with the recipes.
Kent, we need more for sure. You’re living the life that I’ve always wanted to and it’s great to be able to see you living it.
Kent I sure appreciate your videos, as much as most of us do. I just want to thank you for keeping the West alive. And your patriotism🇺🇸 and most importantly your love of the lord. God bless you.🙏
Thank you for all you and Shannon do to keep the cowboy life alive through you photos and videos. You and Shannon are National treasures. Hope to see y’all in El Sigundo on April 6. Hope your trail is smooth, your critters are healthy and your powder is dry.
I love all your videos. This is a great series to add to the channel. To hear your stories to the pictures and just live on the trail, is fascinating to me. Thank you for all you do. Shannon, you are a great photographer. Seeing your photos today and hearing the stories makes me want to get back into photography. I did it as a college student and still love to take pictures. Now my pictures are of nature, kids and families. Keep the fun coming!
The story's are what makes it
This was a refreshing and much enjoyed change of pace. I would love to see more of this video journal type of content. Kent, you have got to have enough pictures and stories from decades of cowboy life to keep us all entertained for many years to come, and I am eagerly waiting and hoping you will bless us with your tales of those experiences. Thanks again for being such an absolute BOSS ! ! !
Hi
Can we get to know each other better
I really enjoyed your “Tales from the Trails”. I’m no cowboy, although I have raised a few cows. The stories take me back to a time when I was young…mom, dad, granddad and myself each had horses that we road on the weekends and occasionally on a “trail ride”. These rides were typically 25 miles or less but included camping overnight, community meals, campfires and singing. Granddad, or “Pa” ran a service station that sold saddles and tack. He was sort of the local horse whisperer and was always eager to put King through his tricks. Your videos put in mind of those simpler times in the 60’s. I’m now 70 and these horse riding folks have all passed. Thanks for rekindling my memories. I believe you need to remember your past to truly know where you’re headed. Ride on my friend.
I loved this. I miss living on the ranch and it reminded me of the many rodeo cowboys I've met that would come to our practice events and bulldogging school.
There's also a book written about my mom's side with a story about when the wife of a cousin (my great gpa and 4 brothers had ranches near each other) was miles away in the Idaho mountains with the horses when her husband had gone back to the homestead and got delayed because of an illness associated with his diabetes and she realized after him not returning that she'd have to move all those horses back on her own. No problem for the tough people back then. That little gal just got up onto that lead mare and brought them home on her own.
So far this has been my favorite of all your videos. I once had a dream to be a cowboy. Along came Garth Brooks and assured me that it "weren't easy like the movies said it was". At 60 years old now I can't even imagine sleeping on the ground, let alone settin' in a saddle from dawn to dusk. But I do enjoy the outdoors and a good cup of coffee on a cool morning.
Yes, please continue with more videos like this, as well as your other ones.
This is so great! My grandpa came from Texas to California with Jack Harris and spent plenty of time out on the range; I feel this gives me an insight to that part of his life!
Keep the story alive, we need more pictures and the stories that go with REAL ranch life! GOD bless!
We really appreciate all that you do. The warmth comes through your food. We would like to see more of the pictures. We just received our third cookbook. We look forward to more pictures and more stories!
More to come!
Always such a pleasure. Someone clever on here will inspire you with an idea. Really, just keep sharing the images, stories, trials & triumphs from the trail….
Oh, Shannon, ALL your pictures in this video tell a story and convey emotion. As a photographer, I understand these are the best of many. Does Not Matter. Please keep telling your story.
I love to hear these stories! Cowboys, Coffee & Cookin'...just says it all, right?? You two have so much to offer us all and I, for one, will listen and watch anytime! 💞
Maybe you should, share stories from the drive. Heck, I see another book coming!
Thank you so much for sharing your stories. It's a part of life most only dream of and you are privileged enough to live it and kind enough to share it with us dreamers!
"Where real cowboys roam". Love it and miss being around live stock. Was raised in Keller Texas, till I turned 30 then moved to Franklin N.C. Love horses cows the whole works. One day I'm going to come to your cooking school. Better go now,God bless and keep you Shannon, Beagle and all the other hounds safe and in his hand,Sam Kelly jr.
Love it Kent !!!
Not sure on others but brings me back to reality & memories of my childhood. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
