An Iar-thìr Fhiadhaich/The Wild West
Light-hearted look at historic civilisations and their inventions. The History Hunters travel back to the Wild West.
Siubhail dhan Iar-thìr Fhiadhaich cuide ri Calum, Kerry Anne agus na Sealgairean Spòrsail is ionnsaich mu bheatha gillean-cruidh agus tùsairean air Crìochan Siar Ameireagaidh.
Hold onto your hats, as Calum Macdonald, Kerry Anne Macleod and the History Hunters hit the trail with the cowboys and early pioneers who forged America's western frontier. Find out about life as a cool cowboy, wrangling cattle, lassos and dressing to impress!
To haul all their worldly goods way out west, the pioneers needed something bigger than a horse could carry: a wagon. But how did wagons survive miles of desert sun, rain and deep river crossings? The History Hunters experiment to find out, making a wagon to withstand the weather out west. Cowboys used whip cracking sounds to herd cattle and, in their second mission, the History Hunters have go at making their own whip. Can they crack it?
Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne investigate the honda knot that controls a lasso noose, before trying it out on their stunt bull. They also learn how the pioneer families preserved food in the hot desert sun.
