the way the cooks for the wranglers kept the sourdough bread yeast alive was to wrap it up and tie it around their waist. when they stopped to cook they would mix it with regular dough but always save enough "starter" for the next stop. I had a great uncle who was a "cookie" on cattle drives. Now at 80 I tell my great grandkids about the stories he told me.------ I, Grampa
