And here's another thing:
I've watched a western or twelve, and I ain't ever, EVER, seen a cowboy pull a skillet or pot outta his saddlebags settle down next the fire for the next three hours with gallon of water and actually cook beans.
But there's always beans.
And bacon. Ever watch the cowboy get something outta his saddlebags? Whatever he's retrieving, it's always the only thing in the bag. He never has to take three handfuls of stuf outta there, hand goes in, comes right back out holding what he was wanting. Where the fuck is that bacon? And those beans? And the pot/skillet?
Cowboys got bags of holding?
