    I was expecting to fall asleep, but now I'm wide awake imagining dust storms and snake bites. 10/10 storytelling.

    About the storms, you haven't lived until you've experienced a storm in the lower plains. It's insane, frightening, nothing like it. I don't know how people could handle it back then.

    11:13 pm in Houston, TX!<br><br>This one felt like my childhood stories told to me by my dad, who is still a current day cowboy. This was a very accurate account of how it was and still is in some parts of Texas❤️

    Hopefully you see this. It was 3am. Couldn&apos;t sleep. Swiping. Saw this. I was simultaneously intrigued and was swept off to sleep at the same time. Can&apos;t wait to listen where I remember leaving off last night.

    I came here expecting a chill bedtime story — but somehow ended up feeling sorry for every dusty cowboy who ever existed. Who knew saddle sores, snake bites, and endless beans could be so… strangely soothing? This is the kind of history class I never got in school: soft-spoken, a little tragic, and just boring enough to knock me out by minute 12. Anyone else feel oddly comforted by how awful cowboy life actually was?

    This video makes me appreciate how good we actually have it. Even if it doesnt feel like it, dont get me wrong we all have faced or face hell in our own ways, however it makes me fear that we are getting weaker imdividually and as a race in some ways. Maybe that&apos;s a good thing? It&apos;s conflicting like if i had to live that life and go back a couple hundred years from who I am today. I would most likely adapt and survive but i&apos;d probably be hating my existence and most of it. I think the lesson is to appreciate our great grandfathers and grandmothers who got us here and went through their own hells to accomplish it, and we should try <br>do our best to make it even better and pass it on to our kids and future generations. I didn&apos;t sleep (the story was vivid descriptive and was detailed I Loved it listened to all of it and didnt think it was even a little boring❤). I live In Arizona and it&apos;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej5KH1FfaO0&amp;t=450">7:30</a>.

    Saturday afternoon and I have a headache. I hate that my day off is spent in bed, but the storytelling is relaxing.

  • @EthanCowboyHistory · 2 months ago

    Your voice is so soothing, and learning about how tough cowboy life actually was somehow makes it the perfect sleep story. Love this channel!

    I don&apos;t expect you to see this, but I started working 3rd shift a couple months ago and this is absolutely perfect for tricking my adhd brain into relaxing enough to fall asleep and help my internal clock recalibrate. Your voice is soothing, yet your words interest me, so I listen without being distracted or overstimulated. Movies and doom scrolling take too long for me to wind down with, and it&apos;s difficult to keep track of my normal audiobooks/podcasts when I don&apos;t know where I fall asleep and the story line jumps around. I genuinely hope you don&apos;t run out of ideas/motivation to make these, but if you do, you have given us so much content, that by the time we go through the all and start over, we won&apos;t remember anything 😂 all of this to say, thank you ❤ also, it&apos;s 12:20pm (I wake up at 9pm) in upstate NY 😊
