In the desert Southwest, one would have cold water by filling an olla (unglazed pottery) and setting it in the shade. The water permeates the clay and sweats on the outside. Evaporation of that sweat cools the pot and water.
Good for the kitchen table.
Same idea with canvas water bags. Cool by evaporation
I know the US cavalry mandated that troopers keep their canteen on their person rather than the horse in case they became separated in combat.
Very cool info.
Love the old westerns. How often the star would have one canteen. But when he makes camp he has a coffee pot full of brew and plenty of water to offer the stranger
Magic canteen
Yes!
The process of making coffee purifies any water they find, though. Those old westerns take place before every lake and river was full of chemical pollutants.
Harder to find water in the desert but not impossible.
@@psychodynamicnaturalhistor437 im from tucson water can be found not in the deserts but the surrounding mountains around late winter to early spring
Always got me how when someone runs out of water in film, they chuck the canteen. Grrrrrrr!
HA!
As ALWAYS, this video is chock-full of information, and entertainment. You and your pals have done it again, Santee. YAHOO and YIPPEE 👏🤠👏 💧 💧 💧
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Santee!
I've seen too many movies where the character was out of water, and he'd dump the last few precious drops on the ground, just to show the camera that his canteen was empty.
Not real bright!
-Desert Rat Rick
HAHA! Yup
I like the repro Civil War "bullseye" canteen.
A guy at a gun show had an original Span-Am period canteen stenciled "2nd W. V. Vol. Inf." but the pewter spout was broken off. I looked it up and the 2nd West Virginia infantry was still in a training camp in Pennsylvania when the war ended and they'd only volunteered for the war with Spain, so they were discharged rather than sent to the Philippines. The guy who had the canteen was from Pa. so that makes sense!
I'll bet Bannerman's was selling surplus Civil War, Indian War, and Span-Am War canteens into the 1930s! 👍😎
P.S.- I've actually seen an 1862 model "Bullseye" canteen that was dug out west at a post-war frontier Cavalry fort ....so we know that one would be period and correct...
Those are cool
very interesting. loved that you were able to use the rare snow fall out here
Yes, thanks
Hey Santee what is your new job?
It’s not that rare Arizona always gets snow it just depends where you are for example flagstaff gets a shit ton of snow but
Thanks again Santee & Co . I've carried water in various modern containers . One of my favorites is a Nalgene bottle . I've saved some mylar bags that came full of coffee from joints like Duncan Donuts and Starbucks , and some collapsible plastic tea containers that come from KFC . Off topic , Yesterday the boys and I had a gun range day on a friend's private land . I fed his horse some celery and we ate campfire chili for lunch . I think the horse loved the celery as much as we enjoyed the chili . I shot my 1911A1 10mm Automatic pistol for the first time . The 10 mm Automatic has some punch . I sighted my Bergara B14 .308 Winchester rifle too . I shot a four round group that showed three holes touching and one just a hair away . I wish you could have been here .
Horses eat celery?? 🤠🤠
@@ArizonaGhostriders My friend has two mares . One is very shy and stood off from me . The other strode to me and ate celery from my hand like it was a candy bar. . Both of them are accustomed to hearing gunfire .
@@victorwaddell6530 Great beasts!
Another awesome video, Santee! Canteens were carried by my ancestor crossed the States, one for him and the dog. As that was important, what was more important is knowing the location of water and the water trails travellers used, and what time to travel. He stated that he rested during the day when he can and travelled at night time to conserve water. However, there was plenty travellers around who could spare some water. Canteens used to get hot during the day, and drinking very warm water wasn't pleasant to drink from. There was a cloth covering the nozzle to stop his lips from injury. Good video Santee!
Thank You!
Santee, outstanding as always!👍
You and the crew combine just the right amount of entertainment with well researched history. Bravo!👏
Thank You!
yes indeed 😀
I love The Good The Bad and The Ugly bits in this. One of my fave top 3 movies.
cool
Hey Santee! once again great video! but... As much as the southern gentleman in me wants to wait, i sure would love to see that Doc Holliday video pop up in my notifications. PLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEE! Thanks again! - Holden.
Noted!
Nice weather you are having. I woke up to 3 degrees this morning. Cold Cold Cold . We're approaching our 5th month with this weather. Anyway, I liked this episode. My boys laughed at me for carrying a metal canteen like what was pictured on the horse for nearly 30 years or more. Now, I use a bladder with a tube. Eh, it works. Thanks Santee. Good one.
Thank You!
Besides mail, ya got ❄️snow! How 'bout that? Lolol Makes for a very interesting 🤔 look in a desert setting that you don't get every year.
Yup! 🤠
Well, now. This was a splash of fine information. As always, not too shallow, not too deep. You're a regular wellspring of learning, a true fountain of knowledge, Santee. I love it when you pour your knowledge out, and just let it flow. It really whets my whistle, and I drink it in like a dry gulch!
Stay hydrated, amigo!!!
Well done. Nobody would call you a drip for that comment.
Lmao Bill in the background with a polar pop and sunglasses made me happy, a true Arizonan
Thank You!!
Snow in down in the Sonoran. Who would have thought? Speaking of water your fellow Arizonans of the north have several feet of the white stuff. We're drinking this summer!
Wooohoo!!
Funny, most of us never think about how it was done back then. Thanks for the info. Well done again.
Thank You!
When I was a kid I used to have an old green glass bottle wrapped in wicker with a cork that I used like a canteen.
Pretty cool and historically accurate!
I lived in Texas my entire life and for most of it I've had an old WWII canteen my old man bought me when I was a kid, sure it's a bother slung on you when you're working out the heat but you'd rather have water than not . Never known her work with the cowboy that didn't carry his own water and I assumed it was always been that way
I get that!
Yeah. Snow in Tucson. I thought I saw the Devil himself cross-country skiing past my house in OV last Wednesday night.
🤠🤠
You guys are awesome. I work in a Wild West themed haunted house and your videos have been amazing help for me and my zone.
So cool!!!!!!!! where?
I really had a thirst for this one but left me a little wet behind the ears. Thanks for sharing
HAHAHA!
Thanks for the visit Santee, see you next week!
Yessir 🤠
Thanks Santee. Good to see you are keeping your head above water in your new job. Hehehehe 🤠
HAAH! Don't want to end up in the drink
Another episode of the Ghostriders to enjoy with my beer , great Saturday afternoon
Thank You!
Another 5 stars Santee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great info you looked cold with that snow ❄️ on the ground now you know how we feel up here in the great white North ☃️
Add some whiskey to your coffee it helps it from not freezing lol
LATER PARD 👊🍺🍻🥃
🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅
Oh yeah we do!
Staying hydrated is important. Thanks for todays video.
Be safe out there, and take it easy man.
Thank You!
You have Mail and snow ❄️! Stay warm. Great episode. I have quite a few reproduction Civil War canteens. So many different kinds! Sounds like the new job is going well!
It is, thank you.
Good ole' circular Boy Scout canteen.
Yep, they go back a long time before the boy scouts.
I'm thirsty already 😄it must be the winter sun or I have catch a fever 🤒 my cantineen !!
Thank You!
Love the tidbit about burying water for the return journey. I’ve never come across that.
African Bushmen would bury caches of ostrich eggs filled with water.
Right?
COol!
That had to have been a huge problem. Cheers my friend.
🤠🤠🤠
wouldent doubt late in the wild west some would use the 1910 or earlier style military canteens with pistol belts or cartridge belts, ive seen a few pics of poncho villas men using them, although alot of soldiers in europe during ww1 complained it did not carry enough water and started carrying french canteens on top of them.
Yup!
Hi Santee, I was a viewer back when you could respond in real time,almost. I’ve been away a while. You guys are more polished but still the same. Great 👍 thanks.
Glad you came back.
Snow? Thanks for another educational and fun video on the old west.
🤠🤠
Good one as usual Santee. Now I’m thirsty. See you Saturday.
Deal!
Every morning is improved with some Santee and the Arizona Ghostriders.
Thank You!
And they say AZ doesn't snow. Great video thanks
You got that right!
I'm just waiting for Santee to show up on the next biggest Western Blockbuster of the century, if Santee was the main character of a western, The Good the bad and the ugly would have a serious run for their money. Eastwood? No sorry. Santee. Thank you. Goodnight.
Awww, thanks.
Glad the new job is going well. Not quite on point, but I was just thinking, as a prepper, how many more fire kits I’ve made for family and friends than water kits. Please keep the good videos coming.
Sounds great!
There's a water filter called the Millbank Bag . Look it up sometime .
Santee, great job as always, this a refreshing video and your overflowing with information (pun always intended)
HA! 🤠
Oh good, you did one on canteens.
You're welcome.
Veterans had issue canteens etc. Basically if you were lucky enough to reach water you carried it anyway you could. Thanks pard 😅😅
You're welcome.
Still a problem in any Military today. I used to carry four litres, about a gallon, on me and more in the pack, and hydrated whenever and wherever I could. Still do, old habits die hard.
Very cool info. Thanks.
Fantastic as Ever !!!!!!!
Thank You!
i'm loving this channel !
Glad to hear it!
I can't imagine taking a drink of water stored in a freshly killed animal skin after it had been in there for a few days.
Better than not having water at all.
Eat jerky (salty) in the morning to make you thirsty, drink plenty of water and stay hydrated for the day.
Yowza!
Thanks to you and your crew for the many interesting items you I inform us on.
Glad you like them!
Awesome thanks!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Thank You!
This reminds me of a western I once saw but can't remember the name of it. One of the main characters is mortally wounded after the climactic shootout and the main antagonist is escaping. Since he's too weak to hop on a horse and chase her, he shoots and hits her water canteens. The rest of the main characters find her dead of dehydration in the desert.
That could be a couple of plot points in different movies.
Ha ha ha... I would have opted for the Big Gulp too !!
Yup
Awesome historical information, really love your videos of the old west. Thanks for sharing your information with us.
Ride safe my friend
Thanks, will do!
There's no telling how many tourist and snowbirds have died of dehydration in the desert with either no canteen OR a canteen full of water. In places like Arizona you don't let yourself get thirsty. Drink water and drink it a lot.
Thank You!
Another great episode Santee! Occasionally I have one of those plastic bottles sitting on the bar in the Saloon, definitely out of place.
Thank You!
The Apache People had woven baskets sealed with resin called ollas.
🤠
Another fantastic video from the ghostriders
Thank You!
Brilliant video. I can't get enough of these :D
🤠🤠 Thank You!
THANKS.
🤠
Santee, I'm really surprised you didn't mention the classic _Desert canvas water bag!?_ I thought it was extremely common when carried on mules in the Old West?
I think they were later.
So interesting on the materials used for carrying water. Thanks so much!
Thank You!
That was refreshing and hit the spot. Keep them rolling 🤠
Thanks.
Good Morning Santee,
Another informative and awesome educational video… great work as usual… keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Another interesting, funny and informative video Santee. Great Job!.
JT
Thank You!
Awesome video as always Santee!
Glad you enjoyed!
Dam it Santee, another excellent video that flowed well. Really love the canteen vs water bottle look! Thank you.
Thanks.
Great video and research as always Santee :) most inspiring an thank you for what you do :) Yeehaw!
Thanks so much!
Santee thank you so much for sharing always enjoy your episodes.
So nice of you
Keepin’ it real!
yup
Let's was really interesting to see how water was carried in the old west. I always knew the canteen and the skin hide
Thanks again for another great video 🤠
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a few canteens like the one shown at 2:10. I had them covered in leather and with a leather strap added. They've lasted for many years now. Can be a bit tricky when riding horses not as broke as I'd like. 😂
Nice. Covered with leather...I might do that.
Awesome video Santee!!
Thank You!
@@ArizonaGhostriders no problem!🤠
We just had a huge snowstorm in Michigan last night, but it really struck me to see your video with snow in it! I have a copy of Marcy‘s book which I really enjoy. Mine says it was originally published in 1859. Perhaps your date is a later edition? Thanks for another great video. By the way I think the military canteen was a great choice, especially since your pictures of Ed Schiefflin shows him carrying one.
Thank you.
I remember michigan and we always just had a huge snow storm. Day or night the weather was just another huge snowstorm. It was either cold and howling and night or cold and dusk during the day. Only july was snow free as it was always measure in feet not inches or mm's. Causing the infrastructure to crumble because there was no money or will to fix it. Etc...
@@Number6_ No thank you. I'll keep the 300 days of sun.
Me too. That's why I left. Haven't seen a decent snow flake in 20 years.
Another great episode. I drank it in. It wasn't dry at all. Well maybe the wit.
Thank You!
I missed this one
Thank you for watching.
Staying hydrated is very important to important, especially in military history. I'm currently working on a ww2 finish uniform and I just got the canteen in the mail. Although I'm not drinking out of it, it goes well with the uniform.
Terrific. Mine has been a rockstar.
Great video Santee
Thanks!
Finally took my advice huh, and took the wife into the mountains to play in the snow??? lol.
She looks so happy...the cacti don't but she does. lol.
Very...refreshing video Sir. Now I see why I come to you for help with my channel OH GREAT MENTOR...lol.
Thanks, Drew! That's our front yard!
@@ArizonaGhostriders OMG.. The snow hit far enough in the plains out there it got your front yard??? Oh dear God, the poor lil gila monsters & tarantulas.. I hope they have lil scarfs to keep em warm...lol. That's the most I've EVER seen you wear in a video..must be chilly. I'll send you a pic of our yard after last night's storm...just 2 days after 63° and warm...lol.
This photo was taken before we left for work on Thursday. There are no "play days" for us. ;)
@@ritashuff7136 I've been trying to convince John into bringing you north for Christmas break for 2yrs..lol. He just tells me if you wanna play in the snow he'll take you oughta town to the mountains...lol. You deserve play days..I know what you do for a living and that's NOT always easy. Lol.
Looks like you got some snow too!
Yup
Always look forward to your Saturday uploads
Glad to hear it!
Very interestingly informative and inspiring video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I learned a lot how thy carried water in the frontier.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks 💕😎🌟❤️👍🏼
Great job and well done, keep up the great work.
I got a lot of inspiration for the old West and retrofuturism inspired game book/choose your own adventure story/series I’m working on writing and planning.
Cool, thanks!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome.
Today I’m also getting inspiration from Mario fan theories/lore, Zelda fan theories/lore and the Backrooms/liminal spaces and abandoned places.
I created a species of ghost entities for my story/series known as spectrals.
Is that a good name for species of ghost entities?
What do you think of the name of the leader of the ghost species that I’m probably going to not use: Boo jangles , leader of the spectrals?
Is that not a very good name and I should probably choose a better more scarier name?
It snowed in Navajo county---It gets COLD up here, not to mention the wind.
I bet
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! I carried one similar but it had grey jeans cloth cover. Still have it with my Confederate uniform. I have also carried the wooden canteen as well. Looking forward to hearing more about your job. I am guessing you are a docent at one of the Wild West towns. Kind of job that I like.
Not a docent. I need to pay the bills. But you are close. I'll PM ya
So funny I JUST bought a western canteen early this morning :D
Awesome
Isnt Xeriscaping Like Garden Care for Desert Plants?
That's Something You Probably Have A Lot Of In Arizona!
Very Different Discipline
Than regular lawncare out on The East Coast
Oh yeah. The water companies actually have demo landscaled areas you can visit to learn about how it's done.
Cool video!
Thank You!
Hey Santee. My name is Mike, I met you last Friday, I was with my girlfriend Sydney. Thanks for all the info and being a genuinely friendly person. It was a pleasure talking with you. I watched the brass shells video you mentioned and saw your buddy playing the sheriff.
For anyone reading Santee is the real deal. In the brief time I spent talking with him he was easy going and friendly. I’d like to say he sets a standard for what meeting a TH-cam creator should be like. Like AND subscribe folks
Mike, thank you so much and it was a real pleasure meeting you! Appreciate you saying hi.
I clicked on this because I had this question pop in my head during a day dreaming session
lol! Thanks for the view
Wow thank you ive been looking for a good canteen. And thanks for another grate video. I also am wondering if you can do a video on the battle of the Alamo?
Yes I can
Yup, everyday at work I rely on two modern-day water bottles to hydrate.
The free water there, isn't worth the price. And I refuse to pay $2.5o for a tiny plastic bottle of the stuff.
🤠🤠
Ayeee Santi tell us about fake snow on the western movie sets. 🤠
I wish I could....but it was real. 🤠🤠
Thank you again for this one Santee! Sadly enough, most of the companies you reccomend do not ship to Europe, where I live...
By the way, a good few months ago I posted a comment to which you said "I'll look into it!" but you haven't yet apparently...
It was the question about how sauces like mayo made it across the pond to the US, and how... Hope you remember!
Best wishes!!
You're right, I didn't. I'll have to do a video on that at some point. I get so many. requests. About 45 a month.
Good morning santine. Ted from Texas. I just recently purchased military surplus canteen from the Spanish-American i want one from the Civil War. But those are very expensive the one from the Spanish working toward was expensive but nowhere near the price of the Civil War want. Thanks for the video man have a great day
Yeah, mine was about $60
hey thts '' cool'' cool'' water'' yeah thanks for the info
Thank You!
NICE VIDEO SANTEE
🤠
Another great episode! You sure did not water down this dose of history.
Thanks again! LOL, I'm still wet behind the ears.
