In the Field: Idaho (Part One), by Peter Buchanan-Smith
We made it back. For those who didn’t know a team from Best Made accompanied by photographer Nate Bressler embarked on horseback into the snowy mountains of Western Idaho last week to shoot new products and test new prototypes for Winter 2011. The Kendall brothers — Idaho natives, ranchers, horsemen, mountaineers, modern day cowboys, and beyond remarkable outdoorsmen — were our indispensable guides on the trip; it was with them, and their fearless string of pack mules and sure footed quarter horses that we had one of the most exhilarating, death defying, contemplative, and magical weeks of our collective lives.
A few people have asked: “what’s the take away” from the trip, and sifting through the pictures over the last few days I’d have to say that it is first the big, impermanent sky.
That’s my homeland people!!! Beautiful shit. Proud that the Best Made Co. folks find it so lovely.
