Cowboys and the frontier's men and women who traveled west were the ultimate survivalists during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Everything they had and used while they made a living for themselves out on the prairies was made by hand or purchased at a specialty store that they usually had to hitch up their wagon and travel for miles to actually get to the “local” town. Plus, more often than not, the town visits were weeks or months in between!
Consider theses brave survivalists who moved out west and paved a new life. They had to be strong (both mentally and often physically) men and women who were capable of traveling long miles while taking care of their children. They also had little resources and sometimes scarce food that was available to them.
If these people aren't considered survivors, I don't know who is.
After the break, learn about some wonderful pieces of wisdom from the cowboys and how they managed to survive in a harsh, and sometimes desolate land.

If you think you’re in danger, Put a slug in a stranger, Before he puts one into YOU…”It’s the Code of The West!”
This author is weak, at best. Trying to get his name out there? Couldn’t get past his first pg. what an idiot
Didn’t read, do they tell you to wear your holster correctly?
Anytime the page loads slow I pretty much know it is a next page read, which defeats the purpose, so I bailout my time wasted looking.
I now feel dumber after reading this
It’s silly story.
Cross draw is bullshit. If you’re going to carry on your hip, don’t cross draw, it decreases your draw speed…
Interesting read.
The fur trappers did it seventy years earlier with single shot rifles and a knife. We can learn more survival skills from them.
Today thier call homeless!
This story was about cowboys. They roamed town to town. Or cattle drives.

When the SHTF, I’m not going town to town….
Article mistakes early settlers of the west with cowboys.
Nope not a single word about it.

HAHAHA an entertaining read any how.
Cross draw has it place it obvious you never sat at a desk or drove a car where you might need to reach a firearm if you think its useless.
“After this break”…should say, “let’s break up this story as many times as we can to get more ad revenue”. Sorry, lost me on the second page.

Amie Butterfield. Alice Renae Burrough. Dad? Or what
What a writer. Takes forever to get to the point with all the b.s. in between it. In fact, I quit on page 5. Who knows how long the article really is. It’s a friggin encyclopedia.
