That’s something I like about this channel, some folks get belligerent about stuff like steampunk, but you guys see it as an extension of what you love and include it happily, which is the only way to get people involved in what we care about.
Man, I have to agree. I'm myself from a mostly _medieval_ reenactment group, and I've seen reenactors getting belligerant about their respective favorite time periods - as i it weren't them all enjoyable. Our group, however, has always followed (I'm quoting you) that "seeing it as an extension of what you love and include it happily, which is the only way to get people involved in what we care about" philosophy. Well, we've done X, XIII, XIV and XIX centuries, AND steampunk mixed with the XIX stuff, have mixed with groups who do many different levels of autenthicity... and you're completly right: instead of getting belligerant about "who does the One Only True Thing™", enjoying the different aproaches o the common hobby is the best experience you can get.
I remember the Wild Wild West as a TV show when I was a kid. Always liked the old west Steampunk aspects of it. In all honesty if we look at what was happening around the world in the era? Just the battle between Tesla and Edison alone was very nearly Steampunk fiction in the things they wanted to do, or claimed they could do. Another piece of an interesting era.
It definitely had an old west James Bond meets steampunk atmosphere to it, even down to the main character being named James. I grew up watching the reruns of it, as my step-father was a huge fan of the show.
I hope Santi enjoys making this content as much as we enjoy watching it. This channel is awesome and I hope to keep seeing new vids every once and again.
Nice new steamy-subject introduction. I also want to add that my father and I enjoy the West. We have the Life leather cover old west books which really give insight to the time period. Keep it up Santee.
A lot of the appeal of Steampunk, at least for me, is the fascinating marvel that 19th Century mechanical assemblies were. I could watch most of them operate and see exactly how they worked. And at the same time marvel at the ingenuity that went into their designs. When that can be truthfully said of the actual tech of that time, is it any wonder that sci-fi geeks want to put such a spin on it?
That was a fun video. I love the mix of old west and aviation vibe. I now want to be an airship pilot. You need to check out The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
Thanks again Santee & Co. ! I'm kindof an old-school gaming nerd from the early days of D&D so I'm familiar with steampunk. I'm also a US Navy veteran so I liked the guy in the sailor costume wiyh the lobster . Some time ago I asked you about watercraft and boats in the old west and you said you would look into it but images of paddlewheel steamboats were pretty rare . Back when I was a yungun I took a daycruise on a sternwheeler on the Mississippi out of Saint Lois Missouri and that probably influenced my decision to choose the navy over the other branches . Steam powered vessels were really high tech in the 1800s . See y'all on down the trail !
For a comic con a couple of years ago, I went as a steampunk lady gunfighter. That was a fun costume, corset, and all. And I got to wear a prop sixgun, so that was fun. Got a lot of compliments on that costume. May pull that costume out again soon.
Hi there my dear friend. I have always absolutely LOVED steampunk. It’s my favorite to craft with all , the gears and cool images. Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. Diane ⚙️
I was about 10 when wild Wild West came out. I don’t want to do steam punk but love seeing it... too much fun In my community of living history there is a look down their nose attitude to steam punk, ren fair, pirate festivals , thank you for being respectful to ward folds having fun
@@ArizonaGhostriders I think if you try eBay or etsy, you might find some single books for a reasonable price. They are really well written,if I remember correctly. My sister also has a reissued book,in its original leather bond,1880s print format, of Pat Garret's biography of Billy the Kid...I think also from Time Life books.
Wild Wild West, the series with Robert Conrad was one of my favorites! I've made a few Steampunk leather pieces, I was using my Plague Dr. hat for B-Western Cowboy Action Shooting! Another Great Video Santee!
Don't forget to mention The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.! Though it was a little less steampunk and more Saturday-matinee-serial in nature. The relationship between Brisco and Bowler was fun to see as it grew from resentful rivals to begrudging associates to reluctant partners to best friends forever.
Awesome, this is exactly what I’m trying to do with my Wild West novel I’m writing, editing and publishing. The title of my book so far is tales of the superstition ancient mountains: whisperings of the lost Dutchman mines and is set in 1885 in Southern California in a small old west town town called north Mercia Umbria falls .🌟😎👍🏼
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks, I can’t wait for people to read my book when I’m all done with editing and publishing. I just know people are going to love it
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you so much for replying to me yet again! so very kind of you. i am on a journey to watch every video on the channel. i’m writing a book and you have helped so much so far! blessings to you and yours
There's a lot of interesting things you guys do over there in that part of arizona. Steampunk is interesting. I'm really getting to like it a lot it's really cool. And thank you for telling us about it another great video. 🤠🌵
It is cool. I mean, the idea of it really fits into the Wild West. I thing there is a western show that has a Steampunk flavor called That Dirty Black Bag
Howdy Santee! Steampunk is pretty cool but I guess I am an old-fashioned kind of gal. I prefer the Old West to stay traditionally the untamed Old West with cowboys and Indians and gunfighters and gamblers, etc. By the way, I have the same western series of Time-Life Books shown in this video! The pictures in these books are definitely the real deal. My favorite edition is the volume, "The Great Chiefs." Thanks for sharing another interesting video. Take care & God bless!
fantastic !!! ha ha ha..... I LOVE steampunk, and really never had an understanding of what it was ( although of course I own a pair of goggles !! ) So happy to see JW again, and the pièce de résistance ??? … I already had a couple anti virus Gentleman Jack snifters in me when the vid went to Bill in his "intimates" !!!! ha ha ha ha ( yeah, I'm working on number 3) Thanks Cheese !!!
you’d think Rex would have made himself a set of extended arms instead of just colossal goggles but i think he was too busy avoiding ray gun blasts from BatJack
ACKKKKK BILL IN HIS BOXERS ... LOL yea steampunk has been a thought in my head since the original wild wild west RIP Robert Conrad only eclipsed by my love of the old west 👍thanks for another great video santee👍🇺🇸🤠
Anyone recall "Legend?" It was a short-lived show set in that era, starring Richard Dean Anderson (post-Mc Giver), and "Q" from Star Trek. It was ahead of its time---before Steampunk became popular.
Great episode, Santee. I was wondering if you were going to do an episode like this. On Amazon Prime there's this TV show called "Have Steam Engine, Will Travel." It's about a father and son team that own four steam locomotives that they take around the country. One of the episodes featured a Steampunk Event with a train ride, and one of the Steampunkers had a Ghostbuster Proton Pack that ran on steam. I have two goggles myself. Standard black, and TARDIS blue.
Oddly enough I just saw that movie (WildWildWild West) yesterday. Somewhat entertaining. I used to watch the old TV show... I think I like that better. Time for another remake/reboot movie.
Always wondered where this come from... Not for me but to each his own.... Still neat stuff and good show hope you make it back from wherever you ended up after getting shot...lol
I have a love/hate relationship with steampunk. I love the aesthetic, especially when it can make something ultra-modern like a computer look like it belongs in the 19th century, but I hate most steampunk fiction because I know enough about how steam technology works to know that the authors usually have NO CLUE how steam works.
I am really into steampunk that I had been to a Steampunk Festival over in Hannibal, Mo call the Big River steampunk festival back in 2018 when I was in Texas on a RV trip not to long ago that I was wearing a cowboy hat with goggles on a few times. Now getting into the old west part of steampunk after all.
Santee, you’ve done a video on colt single actions. could you do a video on other firearms like percussion revolvers and smith and Wesson model 3’s(my personal favorite in terms of both firing and engineering)
Arizona Ghostriders - Hey another great video, thanks. If you are willing to cover Steampunk in the Old West (Cattlepunk), would you consider a video on the Weird West genre? You are all ready Ghostriders, why not make the most of it. Perhaps for Halloween next year. Just a thought.
I like the steam punk stuff, but I’ve recently got a little more into the diesel punk stuff which is set more in world war 1 and 2 eras. The Indiana Jones last crusade was a good example of this sci-fi community. Love the vid.

I don't think the Arizona Ghostriders believe in guilty pleasures. They seem to have fun quite shamelessly.
Old west: my inner child
Steampunk: my inner teenager
Excellent! Wild West Steampunk is what I do, costuming and writing novels. So much fun and creativity. Thanks.
Sounds great! What exactly are you writing about?
"If I had my way everywhere would look like the old west"
Welp, that settles it, Santee for President of earth.
HAHA!
RIP Santee guess he will finally be able to punch Bill’s ghost since he now one
Somehow I'm re-animated. My feet are on backward, though.
OMG I almost died at 0:51 you are my hero for that shot.
HAHA!
Someone finally explained steampunk so I finally understand just what the heck it is.
Good!
It also has great music. You really have to give some songs by the "Cog is dead" a listen!
Agree with Kowboy USA. Never understood what it was either. Thanks Santee
You're welcome.
Same here.
Always had an image in my head of airships drifting across Monument Valley - steampunk has some pretty epic visuals to offer
It does.

It definitely had an old west James Bond meets steampunk atmosphere to it, even down to the main character being named James. I grew up watching the reruns of it, as my step-father was a huge fan of the show.
Tesla vs. Edison falls in the frontier between Steampunk and Dieselpunk, a very interesting era indeed.
@@RichWhiteUM The producers of the show paid the Bond people for the rights. The idea really was an American James Bond in the old west.
I hope Santi enjoys making this content as much as we enjoy watching it. This channel is awesome and I hope to keep seeing new vids every once and again.
Thanks very much.
Nice new steamy-subject introduction. I also want to add that my father and I enjoy the West. We have the Life leather cover old west books which really give insight to the time period. Keep it up Santee.
Thank you!
I would love to go to a convention like this😄
They still have 'em!
Favorite part of my morning, sitting down with my breakfast to a new AGR video! Love that Rex has goggles!! :)
HA! Thanks, pard.

It's pretty cool, steampunk!
I never completely understood steampunk, but now that you have brought it into perspective, going to an event would definitely be interesting.
Much appreciated.
You guys are something! Jejeje kuddos
Thank you!
Wow! The editing has gotten really good!
Thank you.
Been a Steampunk fan for years, movies and books, but never been to a SP centric event. Thanks for the video on the genre.
You're welcome!
Santee-- hope to see you at WWWCX.
It'll be a hotel/resort but steampunk needs lots of history.
Hope to as well.
WOW .. AWESOME !! THESE just keep getting BETTER and BETTER :-) Thank you Santee !
You're welcome!
That was a fun video. I love the mix of old west and aviation vibe. I now want to be an airship pilot. You need to check out The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
One of my favorite shows!

Yeah, I need to get to a place where I can get footage of old ships. Not so here in AZ!
Respect rusty i tip my hat one legend to another
Thanks, but I'm certainly no legend 🤠🤠
Old west and steampunk is a great combo! I'm currently writing a short story about a cyborg cowboy...
For a comic con a couple of years ago, I went as a steampunk lady gunfighter. That was a fun costume, corset, and all. And I got to wear a prop sixgun, so that was fun. Got a lot of compliments on that costume. May pull that costume out again soon.
Very cooL!
Hi there my dear friend. I have always absolutely LOVED steampunk. It’s my favorite to craft with all , the gears and cool images. Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. Diane ⚙️
Incidentally, there are many steampunk-themed crafty bits out there (I've seen 'em).
Great Stuff! Thanks AG's,
Y'all Rock!
Our pleasure!
That’s kind of how the girl dressed in the band “ four non blondes “.
Yeah, from the song where she is feeding her horse, amirite? Hay hay hay hay hay, hay hay hay, I said HAY!
Andy Claessens i think the song is called “whats up”
@@jeffdunn7474 Trust me I know. There aren't many things I hate but honestly that song is one of them. Thanks for telling anyway buddy.
I surely learned something on this one. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
You too!
Always look fwd to Your latest! Always entertaining! Keep it up!
Thank you!
This is awesome I love this stuff ❤️. Thank you for doing it.
You're welcome!
Thanks Santee for this Information and Great Video Man 😎🖐
The end was pretty darn funny on this one. Loved the topic for this week too. *:-)*
Thank you!
I love steampunk!! I've been working on a costume for a while now, been thinking of a sort of pilot character.
Cool!
I have Wild Wild West on DVD and I still enjoy it. Plus, it gave me ideas for my ghostly gunfighter inspired by Spawn.
I always liked Carter Slade's ghostrider I wish someone would do something similar in live action
I was about 10 when wild Wild West came out. I don’t want to do steam punk but love seeing it... too much fun
In my community of living history there is a look down their nose attitude to steam punk, ren fair, pirate festivals , thank you for being respectful to ward folds having fun
You're welcome!
That was a good one Santee.... It got me all steamed up!!!
I have that effect on folks.
My older sister collected those Time Life Old West books back starting in 1977, that is how I became interested in reading about the Old West!
Awesome. Well, I remember seeing the commercials and wanting the set.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I think if you try eBay or etsy, you might find some single books for a reasonable price. They are really well written,if I remember correctly. My sister also has a reissued book,in its original leather bond,1880s print format, of Pat Garret's biography of Billy the Kid...I think also from Time Life books.
Thats a nice frontside air on that hat at 0:29
I learned something interesting today my friend. Excellent video.
Thank you!
Hi Santee I love steampunk alot it such a seriously cool and creative style, thanks for this episode
Yeah, they are so amazing with their costumes and props.
@@ArizonaGhostriders +definitely its expensive here to buy any steam punk but it looks so cool,
Excellent episode Santee! I’ve always wanted to go to that Wild West Con... well, I’ll make it one of these days! - Jed 🤠
Pretty fun stuff.
Wild Wild West, the series with Robert Conrad was one of my favorites! I've made a few Steampunk leather pieces, I was using my Plague Dr. hat for B-Western Cowboy Action Shooting! Another Great Video Santee!
Cool!! That's different, eh?
@@ArizonaGhostriders B-Western doesn't have to be Historically correct but there was someone that said it probably wouldn't be allowed at some events.
Steampunk is great fun :) Nice video Santee :D
Thank you!
Now you have spoken about steampunk any of thoughts on the weird west genre?
Probably
Wish they would do a sequel series to Adventures of Brisco County Jr. it has light steam punk elements and was a great comedy western.
I agree. Love that western show
Don't forget to mention The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.! Though it was a little less steampunk and more Saturday-matinee-serial in nature.
The relationship between Brisco and Bowler was fun to see as it grew from resentful rivals to begrudging associates to reluctant partners to best friends forever.
Like that show a lot.
Sorry I missed this yesterday, made my day today though. Loved it.

Love the vids keep up the good work
Thank you!
There was the Legend t.v. show that aired in 1995 starring Richard Dean Anderson.
A friend of mine was in it.
i want to buy those books at the beginning! what were they?
Time-Life Series on the Old West
They are terrific.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you so much for replying to me yet again! so very kind of you. i am on a journey to watch every video on the channel. i’m writing a book and you have helped so much so far! blessings to you and yours
Outstanding. Thanks Santee
You're welcome!
In All Star Western, Jonah Hex travels to a steampunk inspired Gotham City and New Orleans in the late 1880’s
Seen it. Good flick.
Tea and Santee , another perfect beginning to my Saturday !
Another great episode Santee Ive never even heard of steam punk very cool SMASHED THE THUMBS UP

My dad got a pair of steampunk sunglasses that flip up at a costume store after he had his cataracts removed. He likes those glasses alot!
Cool!
Never understood what steampunk had to do with the old west but now it makes sense
It's an interesting parallel....kinda.
I really need to make a pair of steampunk gauntlets. The best part of the genre for me is all the leather accessories. Another excellent addition.
It is a cool part.
fantastic !!! ha ha ha.....

Beautiful view there sir great outfit too

Old Steam Punk fiction has brought us interesting technology. An example is how the TASER is named after Tom Swift and his Electric Rifle.
Cool stuff.
A classmate of mine rebuilds steam tractors for the southeastern threshers reunion 😊
Hey that's "cutting edge"!!!
Seriously, cool.
Oddly enough I just saw that movie (WildWildWild West) yesterday. Somewhat entertaining. I used to watch the old TV show... I think I like that better. Time for another remake/reboot movie.
Yeah, I think so too. Make it a little less silly.
Great as Always !!!!!!!
Thank You!
Steampunk is just normal history where the library of Alexandria wasn't burned down
Ok
Can you do a beginner guide for what guns to start out reenacting with.
Sure.
Well at 31 there be the AGR logo but very interesting vid liked !! but stumped on the hat and what's under it? Well done!
Thank you!
Always wondered where this come from... Not for me but to each his own.... Still neat stuff and good show hope you make it back from wherever you ended up after getting shot...lol
I'm getting better. Thanks.
Water is heavy as are boilers and coal.
Boilers are dangerous.
@@ArizonaGhostriders yes they are.
Nice episode, kinda outside the ol' box as it were. Gotta share, I know a few cosplay geeks who'll love this.
Anything that celebrates the era keeps the old west alive.
I always liked steampunk. Someday I would like to do some writing in the steampunk genre. But first I need to master the old west.
I look forward to reading it.
Lol i love your sense of humor!
Thank You!
Steampunk is really cool. I almost mist this video.
I'd would have really boiled me if you did.
🤣 Seeing the guys riding the cows reminded me of my great great uncle F.W.
Cool!
Hope you all keep safe
So far so good! You as well.

It is a fascinating sub-genre.
I heard the term before but never knew exactly what it was thank you so much professor santee 🤩
You're welcome!
Outside the box topic, nice. I go to enough sci-fi cons and whatnot that I appreciate the genre.
Thank you!
Victorian steampunk is one my favorites
Ok the motorized mine cart was totally awesome,
Right??!
Santee, you’ve done a video on colt single actions. could you do a video on other firearms like percussion revolvers and smith and Wesson model 3’s(my personal favorite in terms of both firing and engineering)
Just so happens I'm doing a little bit of that today.
Arizona Ghostriders I saw, it was also the funniest use of Rex I’ve seen yet

Sorry I missed you at the event. WWWC9 was a pretty good time.
I was only there Friday, but it was fun.

Thanks for the info. I never really knew that!
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. A lost little gem of a show. Watch it if you ever get the chance.
Me too.
I was waiting for a joke about Ronald Ray-Gun!
Yeah....
And now im going to watch 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. RIP KIRK DOUGLAS!
Really good movie. Kirk was terrific.
