Here's a photo of some of my cowboy gear. We always carry a bottle of Old Overholt Rye Whiskey on the chuckwagon. Old Overholt is said to have been the alcoholic beverage of choice for notables ranging from Old West gunfighters to U.S. presidents, including Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

Assorted ammo, tobacco, spices, newspapers, medicine and reloading supplies, loaded on the chuckwagon! You can never tell when you might run into Comancheros, bandits or hostiles.

I really like the high back, loop seat look with oxbow stirrups! I had this one built 25 years ago by Bridger Creek Outfitters in Bozeman, Montana.

Thanks, CT

I enjoy shooting photos almost as much as shooting guns :)

Bridger Creek built nice gear. Not sure if they are still around. Mine is a Wade but in an old time style. Had to go with a Wade tree for roping big stock.
