From the outside looking in, it may look like two separate things do not need each other. Like the sun and the rain. For starters they are opposites. The sun is predictable: every morning it rises, each evening it sets. The rain, on the other hand, is random. We don’t always know when it will come or how long it will last. But when the sun and the rain collide, something truly phenomenal happens—a rainbow appears.

Funny thing is, you can only see it if you’re standing in the right place at the right time.

Together, the sun and the rain are an unstoppable force—they give us life. Without them, we literally could not live.

And can’t the same be said about love?

The sublime—it’s why we go into the wild—immersed in the elements, looking out at the vastness of the earth and feeling like a small part of our surroundings, like a guest in that world. Alone with nothing but our thoughts, forced to come to terms with demons we never knew we had. Venturing out with a group and experiencing a brotherhood unattainable anywhere else. The outdoors is where grace meets grit. Observing the earth hard at work before dawn. Witnessing gold light pouring over the horizon and mercilessly dominating every crevice. An unexpected change in weather. Getting lost. Staying alert. It makes us feel alive. It’s a feeling unlike any other. And we crave it, like smooth whiskey on a cold night. It’s a thirst we can’t seem to quench unless we’re there, which is why we keep returning. It challenges us to the edge and leaves us wanting more. If it were easy being out there, everyone would do it.

You aren’t everyone.

Rancher by trade, cowboy by legacy. There is no better way of life. To be a steward of the land, starting and ending each day under a dark, star-filled sky. Gate closed, eyes open, rope gripped firmly. Fixing a fence with stone cold hands. Fresh coyote tracks in the snow. A worried mind, a tenacious heart. Herding cattle. Elbow deep in mud under the setting sun. Downstream, uphill, against the rushing wind, breathing in the wild. Dirt stained, coffee-fueled, sweat-soaked, heritage-driven—nourishing the nation, feeding the world. 365 days a year.
