Most of the the time cowboys and ranch hands were in danger from their herd stampeding, or the occasional cattle thief. It’s very hard work, and not nearly as romantic as Hollywood makes it out to be.
Though if you like camping you might like an old school cattle drive.
I remember dongle life, they popped up in the very late 90’s and survived until like 2008ish. They sucked then, and they really suck now. And yes, I still think having an all in one USB “dongle” is worse than having built in functionality.
then again, I have a framework, so it’s kinda moot lol.
