10 Things Cowboys Carried With Them In The Wild West To Survive

10 Things Cowboys Carried With Them In The Wild West To Survive

10 Things Cowboys Carried With Them In The Wild West To Survive

If you understand the value of preparedness you have a bugout bag somewhere in your home, ready to grab if you need to leave in a hurry. You want to stay at home if at all possible, but if you do need to make a run for it you’ll need some essentials to keep you going until you can either return or make it to a new refuge. The last thing you want is to be on the move without at least a basic load of survival gear.

But what if you’re on the move most of the time? That’s the situation the cowboys of the Old West were in. For part of the year they would live in a bunkhouse on a ranch, but through spring, summer and fall they’d be pretty much nomadic – riding the range looking after their herds, or driving animals to market. For a cowboy his basic survival kit wasn’t emergency equipment that he kept handy in case he needed it; it was the gear he used for day to day life. Imagine living on the contents of your bug-out bag almost every day you go to work; that’s what the cowboys did.

Cowboys in the heyday of the West were tough – and they had to be. The gear they carried looks unbelievably sparse and crude to a modern outdoorsman. But it worked, and it was all they needed to survive. If you need to, you can survive on similar gear. Here’s the ten most important items you’d find in a bugout bag, Old West-style.

#1. Firearm

Almost every cowboy carried a gun. In the movies we’re used to seeing cowboys with a pair of Colt revolvers and a lever-action carbine, but the reality was that most just carried a long gun – a pistol wasn’t much use for hunting, and against an Indian’s bow and arrows it was dangerously outranged. Many cowboys were US Army veterans and carried their old rifle musket; others used shotguns, which with the right ammunition could take on most game.

#2. Knife

No self-respecting outdoorsman goes anywhere without a good knife, and cowboys were no exception. Most of them carried a sheath knife with a six to eight inch fixed blade, giving them the best combination of strength, portability and cutting power. These knifes had a hard life, being used for everything from cleaning game to splitting firewood, so any time a cowboy saw a suitable piece of stone he’d take the chance to tough up the edge of his knife.

#3. Canteen

Large parts of the West are pretty arid, so being able to carry water was vital. Every cowboy would have at least one canteen as part of his gear. These were larger than modern ones, usually holding at least two quarts of water and sometimes up to a gallon. Most of them were made of leather, but steel or even wooden ones could be found. Whatever it was made of it would have a cloth cover, which could be soaked to cool the contents by evaporation. Some cowboys also carried military one-quart steel canteens.

#4. Cook Set

Cooking on the trail was simple – beans, bacon, cornbread, hard tack or whatever game came within range. Utensils were simple, too. Most cowboys got by with a basic set of a small pot, tin plate and mug, and eating irons. Their sheath knife handled most food preparation. One luxury almost all of them carried was a coffee pot, so even if they were away from the chuck wagon they could have a brew in the morning.

#5. Bedroll

Cowboys Bedrolls

In the movies every cowboy has a couple of rolled-up blankets tied over the back of his saddle. Try sleeping out on a cold, wet fall night with just a couple of wool blankets and see how comfortable you are. A real bedroll was a lot more substantial. The key to staying dry was a large rubberized canvas tarpaulin, about seven feet wide and sixteen feet long. This formed the outer layer when everything was rolled up. At night it was big enough to act as both groundsheet and cover. Inside that were three or four “sougans” – thin quilts. Two of these, doubled over, would give padding and insulation from the ground; another one or two over the top added warmth on chilly nights. The cowboy slept in the middle, wrapped in one or two blankets.

A packed bedroll was over a foot in diameter. It could be strapped to the saddle, but if a wagon was available the cowboys would pack them in that for the day. The bedroll was also where cowboys stored their valuables and small items, usually in a gunnysack in the middle of the roll. The bulky, well-padded roll also served as a seat.

#6. Tinder Box

Matches existed in the Old West, but they could be expensive and hard to find. They weren’t very waterproof, either. Cowboys used them if they could get them, but usually relied on a tinder box. This was a small, waterproof metal box filled with tinder – unraveled cotton or linen were common – with a flint packed in. Using the flint and their knife to create sparks, they could start a flame in the tinder; once the fire was lit, closing the tinder box snuffed the flame. Tinder would last a long time, but eventually it got so charred it was useless. Cowboys would scavenge any suitable scraps of cloth to keep their tinder box at peak performance.

#7. Rain Slicker

Getting wet is no fun – and, when you don’t have a warm house to dry off in, it can be dangerous. Hypothermia is a killer out on the plains, so cowboys carried a rain slicker. Old-style slickers were capes made of tarred, oiled or rubberized canvas. Most of them didn’t have hoods, because cowboys relied on their hats. Brimmed hats were essential protection against rain and sun and every cowboy wore one. However, most of them didn’t wear the iconic Stetson – that didn’t even exist until 1865. The most common hat until then was the bowler; it was hard enough to give some protection from branches or falls, and didn’t blow off in high winds. Sombreros were also popular in Texas.

#8. Cords

Cowboys would have loved paracord, but they made do with leather or rawhide thongs. These were used as “piggin’ strings”, to hobble horses or immobilize cattle, but they had plenty other uses too – securing loose gear, building shelters or as an improvised washing line.

#9. Bandanna

A bandanna might not seem like a big deal, but it was a valuable piece of gear for a cowboy. Riding behind a herd of cattle in dry weather, the air was full of dust; a bandanna over the nose and mouth made a good filter. It had plenty of other uses too – folded into a pad to filter muddy creek water, as a washcloth or a sling for an injured arm, for example.

#10. Cold Weather Gear

Rain isn’t the only danger presented by the Western weather; cold winds and snow could also make life miserable and dangerous. Cowboys had basic, but pretty effective, cold weather gear to cope with it. Few saddles were without a rolled-up coat – often an ex-Army greatcoat or similar long woolen garment. Mittens or gloves kept hands warm, and a large scarf – usually silk – kept cold air away from their neck.

Compared to modern camping and survival gear a cowboy’s personal kit was crude, bulky and heavy – but it was also robust and effective. They lived a hard life in a tough environment and they wouldn’t have carried anything that didn’t work. Their everyday bugout bag was minimalist and lacked many of the things we think are essential, but they survived and got their jobs done. Maybe some of our essential items aren’t quite as vital as we think they are.

      Pretty much what I carry give or take a few modern items. Fence pliers are good for gripping, twisting, cutting, as a hammer and all sorts of things. Most things in a first aid kit will work on human or horse. flint will always have a place but a few bic lighters go a long way. Sleeping bag is easier to pack but a couple army surplus wool blankets go a long way. Didn’t mention a flask. Good for a nip when you need it but antiseptic and fire starter too (if you drink that high a proof) Oh and zip ties. Those have saved my ass when some tack or something broke on me more than once.

    Been Riding Motorcycle’s for the pass 55 years. Never leave home without the Bike Pack, which carries just about all that is mention here (in the article above) give or take a few items, and yes that does include the Side Arm (with a Carry Permit) a Break-Down Long Gun, and hunting Knife too. All stored in a gunny stack with a portable one burner butane cooking stove with enough utensil(s) for two , a Bed Roll, better know today as a the Sleeping Bag, plus two ’12x’12 tarps roll around it. And never forget the Rothco Wine Bota.

      The hat is mentioned buried in the #7 Rain Slicker item. The hat was so important, I don’t see why it isn’t its own item. Oddly, the bandana, less important than the hat (although still important) does have its own item.

    That looks like the list of what I carry in my Jeep whenever I take a trip. Add a big first aid kit. More than once I’ve had to help accident victims. Also I have a small bag that contains tarps and a heating/cooking source for a shelter or if I have to sleep in my Jeep. A UCO 3 candle lantern has kept me warm in sub-freezing temps, and can boil water for oatmeal or dehydrated food. It all boils down to fire, water, food and shelter.

    One thing that I forgot….my favorite firearm that I take everywhere is a CZ Scorpion 9mm carbine with a folding stock. The Hornady 9mm+P ammo is more than capable of taking down a deer at 100 yards, besides being able to outfit it with 20 and 30 round magazines it is my go to firearm if I could only take one.

    I regularly travel as much as 375 miles from home on business every week. Several years ago I started thinking about what it would mean if I had to walk home, for whatever reason. I could have to walk and camp out for as much as two months so I started putting together a long-term Get Home/Campout Kit.
    In descending order of indispensability:
    Glock 21/ammo
    Buck 124 full-tang, fixed-blade knife
    2 Lifestraws, 1 Katadyn pump filter
    10X16 camo tarp
    Fire kits – 2 small jars of Vaseline-soaked cotton balls with Bic lighters
    Hygiene/First aid kit
    2 small flashlights, 1 headlamp, batteries
    Freeze-dried meals
    Fishing kit
    Leatherman Supertool
    Machete w/ saw back
    Tomahawk
    Poncho
    20 oz/silver
    $100 cash

    I also carry various other things I could probably do without, like a frog gig, a few small pocket knives, twist ties, miscellaneous hardware etc.

    That bedroll would be the size and weight of another person. Are you sure about the dimensions of that thing? If you have a wagon or a pack horse it wouldn’t be an issue, but I don’t believe one cowboy on one horse could carry all that.

      A cowboy bedroll is a pretty big item, but not that heavy. Because of the bulk it would go in the wagon whenever possible, but you could strap it to the back of your saddle if you have to.

      The bed roll went in a wagon, or on a second horse. The poncho and or coat, depending on weather was rolled behind the saddle. And semi autos aside, you can’t hardly beat a Winchester 92 carbine as a truck or saddle gun.

    A GI sleeping bag with Gore-Tex bivy is lightweight and effective. Another option that most people forget about is having a couple of wool blankets rolled up together. I’m not talking some thin and flimsy wool blanket, I mean a thick, 100% wool blankets. I have some that came from a Swedish hospital ship that were brand new. I bought 8 of them when I found them. They weigh 7-8# apiece and are 6×8 feet. Big enough for two people. Another great find was getting brand new body bags with 6 handles and a heavy duty zipper. I use one for my backpack, and it serves as a great sleeping platform, either on the ground or as a hammock. You have to use a little imagination and use things that are multi-use.

        Body bags won’t make a good bedroll. They are thin and impermeable. Comfort of the occupant is not a consideration! Cold in winter and hot and sweaty in summer if you are still alive. GI system with a poncho liner and goretex outer bag is a great combo for places that don’t get below freezing. Still could use a tarp or canvass for under and over. Mosquito netting is a plus for summer.

    The body bags are used for a hammock. I didn’t say I used it as a bedroll. Many times just getting off the ground makes your night much more comfortable. And if it rains, you’ll zip it up over your head and be glad you did.

    I drive a truck over the road. Yeah, we have a sleeper and all but many of times I have been on the side of the road out back in the Dakotas and the like, no power as something shorted out. As a professional vegabond, I started carrying emergency supplies where I could hole in and wait for a tow truck (Which sometimes will take over a day to get to you) or be able to walk a few miles to the nearest town, miles down the road. Even though I do have a sleeper, I carry a get home bag in case transportation is shut down and I have to get home to my family.

    What I wouldnt mind is finding a place where I could buy some 100 percent wool blankets and a good decient sized oiled tarp to make a shelter. If anyone knows of such places for these items please let me know.

    the bedrolls were quite large, and carried in a wagon called a “hoodlum” wagon. Pistols were often carried in a pocket on the chaps rather than in a holster. Holstered, the could be in the way when working livestock with ropes.

    They had a horse. We probably won’t. We *might* be lucky enough to have a vehicle that works and no road blocks. Maybe. Maybe not. Our threatscape is different but the point is made. A cowboy would never worry about radiation, drones or EMPs. Id be very interested to hear how much food they took with them. Water rationing procedures. I don’t see whiskey mentioned as a resource.

    A friend of mine grew up in Texas on a ranch. He began life as a cowboy. He hated the life. On a saddle dawn to dusk, sleep on the dirt. Only warm water from a canteens to drink. Crappy food. He said he would rather empty cesspools with his bare hands before being a cowboy again.

    Something I learned from a serious problem while hunting. I carried most of the things mentioned here as “Cowboy must have items” when I hunted and fished. What I see here is very good information except for sleeping bags and cold weather gear. I tried GoreTex sleeping bags, GoreTex parkas, etc from military NOS supplies, North Face, etc and almost froze to death! GoreTex does not work as described! In fact it keeps your body moisture inside the bag or parka where it freezes and lowers your body temp to harmful limits. I was told about Wiggy’s sleeping bags and other cold weather items. I went to his website and read the emails from users of his gear and thought it was a bunch of crap. My friend laughed and loaned me one of his FRSS bag assemblies to try. I took the bag(s) and Arctic parka on my next hunt to Colorado. We pitched camp and hunted where we were caught in a bad freezing rain storm followed by snow and brisk winds. My upper body was fine but I was a bit wet in my lower body area. We made it back to camp built up our fire, ate and went to bed. I was wet and cold from just below my waist but my friend assured me that when I woke I would be nice, dry and warm, I laughed and replied I hoped that I wouldn’t get frost bite. I woke up WARM, DRY AND VERY HAPPY! Every person from my family and friends that I sent to Wiggy for cold weather gear has thanked me. Wiggy, due to todays hiring troubles, has stopped making anything but sleeping bags and the gear in that category but he is running a sale on the parkas and assorted gear he has left. He’s still making the bags but until he can hire more seamstresses for the parkas and assorted gear won’t be available, just the bags and assorted items that go with them. I most highly recommend him for anything cold weather related from Arctic cold to light desert bags, they all work better than described. NO, I do not work for nor do I receive any compensation from him! I just recommend his gear as it is one of the very few things that can be counted on these days! That along with a very good PLB should be with everyone. Thanks for the time and space!

    Stay safe,

    Ed
