Happy Saturday Friends!

Well, we made it... it's the weekend, and time for some fun, and time to get things done. Was a great week here, got a couple of projects finished, and of course more started. Our mantra here is "Work Hard, Play Harder!" and with the business, farming efforts, friends and family, there is no shortage of opportunity to work... but we make time to do some playing too. Which is why we make the gear we do, for working and playing hard.

Heading out shortly for T's 60th birthday trip, diving in Fiji. The best part, she did this whole thing on Air Miles... so, just had to pay the taxes. Doing our best to knock a few things off the bucket list, and T has a long list, gonna knock off the "dive with Bull Sharks", and hopefully she will get a pic of some of the giant Fox Bats on this trip. Will share when we get them.

How about we do a "bucket list" contest down below? This could be fun. Life is too short not to have some serious fun when you can.

We are also running out of our bison leather work gloves opened the last case of LG Wed, down to about 40 pairs currently, and we haven't found a replacement maker yet. So, if you want some, I recommend grabbing them before they are gone. The No-Show socks are also moving quickly... got only 1 case of the Medium and LG left... should we make more?

Other than that, it's not too long today, just a bit of fun.. and baby bison pics

Hope you have an awesome day!

Bucket List Contest!

There will be prizes...got some fun ideas here.

Hey everyone! Life is ridiculously short — why waste another day just thinking about the things that light you up? Share your big bucket list goals. Be bold, be specific, be honest. No judgment, no filter — just pure “hell yes” energy. Here’s the deal:

Share your 3 things and send them to Adventure@thebuffalowoolco.com
Tell us why they matter to you
And most importantly… go do at least ONE of them this year

Dreams don’t have expiration dates… but we do. I’ll start with mine.

Climb Mt. Ararat... this has been on the list since college. Long story.
Catch a sailfish, Granddad had a massive one on his wall when I was little, always wanted to hook up with one.
Write the book that’s been living in my head for a long time, about our 10+ years on the road... all the awesome people we met, the fun things we did, and standing in a booth for days on end, I am maybe a quarter through, has a title etc. "How we turned a billion dollar idea into $27.50 and some chickens"

Your turn! Maybe send this email to a friend who needs this nudge. Let’s turn “someday” into “this summer.” Life’s too short to keep the good stuff on the shelf. Make those memories while you still can.

Who’s in? Send your list to Adventure@thebuffalowoolco.com

It's Red Dog Season!

been watching all our rancher friends sharing pics of the red dogs popping out this spring... it's a great thing. Don't usually see them with halters... thought this was cute.

What’s a “red dog”? It’s a baby bison. Bison calves tend to be born from late March through May and are orange-red in color, earning them the nickname “red dogs.” After a few months, their hair starts to change to dark brown and their characteristic shoulder hump and horns begin to grow.

from Bitterroot Bison... such a cutie.

Because it's Red Dog Season... how about we offer a bit of a deal on our Red Dog Kids Collection? Use Code "RedDog" at checkout to save 15% on all Kids gear.
