Much of the geography qualifies as “bad places” in the average person’s book. “You use the old cowboy skills that are going away every day, like trailing cattle, tracking cattle, and having to handle fast cattle in bad places,” shares Kirby. In addition to riding, roping, and on-the-range horseshoeing, an RO cowpuncher must also know how to track cattle and read sign. The country is so rocky that they all carry spare horseshoes, a handful of nails, and a short-handled hammer to replace a pulled shoe if necessary. This includes packing salt and mineral blocks, range-branding calves, moving cattle, and riding fence lines.Įach morning, the camp men saddle up, step on their horses, and ride out to start their day’s work. One cowboy (and his family, if applicable) lives at each camp, and he is responsible for taking care of the cattle in his country. All the materials for the house, including the six-burner wood cook stove and attached water heater, were packed in via mules.Įach camp has a small house, barn and set of corrals solar panels for electricity a windmill or gas-powered pump for water and a generator for backup. It is now accessible by a primitive dirt road, provided the driver has a high-clearance vehicle and a sense of adventure. Until as recently as five years ago, all groceries and camp supplies were transported to Mahon via pack mules. The latter is the most remote cow camp in Arizona, possibly the nation. The ranch is divided into five camps: Sandstone, Bear Creek, Francis Creek, Triangle N and Mahon. “It’s still a horseback deal.”Ĭowboys who hire on at the RO’s like the old-time nature of the job.

Philo defined her collection as being about "togetherness, beauty, friendship, and a journey." In this journey the Céline woman was humanized. Yet today she added a new chapter to her story, and it was one you couldn't help but think had sprung from real life. ![]() The designer had concocted an extreme and immaculate character for her collections, somebody to aspire to for her audience. Unlike most, this reviewer never imagined Philo as the Céline woman-well, who really could be? She was just so perfect, and not all authors of novels are their characters in any case. And yet it all really felt like Céline and Phoebe Philo. The slouchy, flat-front trousers with their crotches carelessly low, the trenchcoats slung over short dresses with full furry slippers-there was something of the walk of shame about the lot, as well as the nineties up-all-night attitude, when Helmut Lang clothes would be flashed and trashed in clubs. Predominantly flat-yet with some also rather remarkable fur-covered stilettos-they were fuzzy flashes of color, fun, and oddness.Īs for the clothes, there was something unfinished in those raw edges, or the backs of tops with excess material, or the unfinished seams there was also a nod to Belgian deconstruction of the nineties. In a mostly black and white offering, they disrupted any notion of sobriety. The shoes were key to this collection: furry, witty, unhinged.
