That's where I got that mule deer that's on the table right there.

And it was nine degrees in October, and we're camping.

And so we're sleeping on the ground at nine degrees.

I'm like, bro, how did these fucking people – and you also – you go by these old homesteads.

So they were giving land out there for people.

You just – you can get a chunk of land, just start farming on it, and the government was encouraging people to move there.

But it's all this like –

muddy ground like the ground is like mucky like when you hike in it after you know a while your boots are so heavy because they're just thick with this clay yeah just muck all over your boots and so it's not fertile it's not good like in the missouri breaks like that area it's not good for growing things so you find these abandoned homesteads it's really eerie yeah man you just think like this family that came out here

Yeah, I guess people didn't know what they were going to find if they kept going either.

Like you want to keep going for like another month.

Yeah.

You're a sitting duck.

You're slow moving with a wagon pulling the horn.

You got all your shit in the wagon and they just looking at you from the hills.

Yeah.

Well, I think people are so accustomed to electricity and so accustomed to things like refrigeration.

I mean, when there was no refrigeration, you had to eat what you had that day.

And then the next day, you had to get something else.

Yeah.

And unless you knew a place that was an ice house, you know, that would get a giant chunk of ice and you could have an ice box and stick it in there and cool things.
