  • Contrary to Hollywood scripture, RL Cowboy Lyfe was less Rawhide and more A Million Ways to Die of Dysentery in the Desert. The life of a cowboy in the 1800s was a full plate of hard work, danger, and monotony with a heaping helping of dust, snakes, bugs, and beans on the side.
    Today we’re exploring what it was really like to be a cowboy in the wild west.

      Randi Bryant's great grandfather was probably an old school cowboy. Besides, the actual work of a cowboy in 1935 and later probably was very similar, if not identical, to the work of a cowboy in 1885.

    I'm 73 years old and my dad was a cowboy in Montana for years. He hated wolves more than anything. He said it was the only animal that would kill for fun and leave the dead without eating it. The wolves killed sheep and lambs more often than the calves. He remembers riding into fields with dozens of sheep and lambs many still alive with their guts strung out. He and the other hands had to shoot and dispose of the sheep. I mention once that I kind of admired wolves. Good Lord! I thought he was going to kill ME. When he moved back home he bought a farm and started farming. He raised a few cattle but mostly cotton. He had a huge team of mules he farmed with. His favorite saying was "a mule will live 20 years just to get to kick you once.". He was almost fifty when I was born, he lived to 90 and I don't believe he was ever sick.

Everyone wants to be a cowboy until it's time to do cowboy stuff. When I was a kid in the 50's men and women didn't have antiperspirant deodorants and everyone had sweaty pits. Can you imagine how everyone smelled in the old west? Woo Wee, Billy, they were stinky. I've known a number of real cowboys and rancers. They have been wonderful men and women who worked hard and loved their families. We need more cowboys.

    Wow, I just stumbled upon this awesome video titled "Cowboy" on TH-cam! The creator really captured the spirit of the Wild West with their incredible footage and editing skills. As an ebike enthusiast, I recently discovered Freebeat's new crowdfunding project, the Freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike, and it's truly impressive. The fact that you can charge it indoors is a game-changer! The brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph make this bike a force to be reckoned with. I'm blown away by the 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires, ensuring a smooth ride on any terrain. And the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature is just genius! It's definitely a project worth supporting.

    3:47 I love that you used an image from "Ride Vaquero". Great movie and character roles for Robert Taylor and Anthony Quinn. The plot is almost like an ancient tragedy. One of my favorite Robert Taylor movies and roles.
    His acting as the ice cold gunman Rio, who's underlying love for a woman, that he denies himself to feel and robs him of the place in the world he never had in the first place and who then turns against his brother, was superb.
    "There are those who lead and those who follow. Then there are some who neither lead nor follow. Who knows what they are?"
    Taylor's/Rio's words, from my memory.
    I've seen this movie a dozen times and it never gets old. Tragic story.
    I could go on about RDR2... but there are already enough fellers doing that.

I would love to hold a west dinner party some day. If the book is anything to go by it was of enormous importance the cook got a a good sourdough starter for making bread biscuits etc and often would sleep with the starter to keep it warm at night. The bread and biscuits etc would have given the men the energy they needed. A tough life for the men. The horses would need to be taken care of too - another subject.

      It was said that there was no wild west towns but the “madame” built the fun houses then a town was made because there were saloons and stuff next to those fun houses. Also prostitutes rights

    I live in the Wild West!
    Got a roof over my head, A fire to make my food,a white cheap cooler to hold my ice for meats.and
    10 miles if I want to get water. Which I need.It cost to much to buy a 100 gallon tank for water ,then have it delivered. No electric,so you use as much small solar as you can get.
    I'm a girl,most would not be able to live this sort of life in a i large room house up a mountain.. You still have a mortgage and you pay taxes too. It is quiet,in the desert and cooler up the mountain where all Apaches lived and rode their horses. 10 miles down you would have had the cowboys and bars,saloons and more. There is always pioneer cemeteries for those who were born and bread in these areas.Mostly for those from the 1800's
    and then their off spring.The test go to a local cemetery. . Well, and yes we have Coyote in abundance.My pet I do believe was taken from inside my fence.I was in town. Oh yeah and wolves.
    Some just don't have it in them to live out here,you got to have the patience and the will to work hard no matter how old you are. Hope your not flooded out if you intend to leave a couple of days. Sometimes I think it is safer with a horse when it comes to the desert and dusty unpaved roads....... If you ever come to Tombstone visit the two cemeteries.It cost a little to get in. The two wrestlers you have in your video lol no bad for the west. MacIntyre will beat Orton yet again.He should retire.Orton 48 and the Scottish Viking Drew 35.Who is going to win

    It never ceases to amaze me that there are points in antiquity and medieval life that are far more reasonable and tolerant than anything that happened during the age of expansion....and colonial times... seriously holyshit even Vikings had a cleaner and more pleasant time.

    • @christiancinnabars1402
      @christiancinnabars1402 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      “even Vikings had a cleaner and more pleasant time.”
      Vikings actually bathed pretty frequently(at least compared to other societies of their era) and groomed themselves often enough to the point where they are associated with making the modern design of combs. So they would actually be the first in line of medieval people to be at least cleaner than a certain subject.

      If I remember right... during the Columbus period an old viking settlement was found in the Americas. But was abandoned a long time before that for reasons unknown.

      Eh while we're at it the Aztecs were pretty keen on cleanliness as well. Weirdly enough I remember that there used to be an advanced mesopotamian society that had working showers and toilets with agriculture. They got destroyed by a bunch of horse farmers but still pretty cool for the time period.

    You know, hearing about the old days makes me glad that i live in a modern era. Imagine having to fight off disease such as cholera or something like that in the old days when there are no medicine for some disease.
    If you think about it, this is the best time to be alive

    • @xvxvcaspervxvx
      @xvxvcaspervxvx 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Depends. Cancer and other viruses were not at the levels they are today. Cholera and dysentery are equivalent to modern day cancers and diabetes.
      Objectively, you'd have equal rates of death by era depending on the condition and available treatment.
      So, diseases in 1800's are comparable to those of the 2000's. The era changes but also the methods we use to cure them. People often view era's by how humans overcome the health complications that define them.
