Hello everyone it's Monday the 8th. We just got back from the Mile High Hunt

Expo so I wanted to thank everyone for coming out and seeing us at the booth. It was a

lot busier than I thought it would be. But today I've got Ralph De Mayo.

Is that? That's right. De Mayo. From Weatherwell on the podcast and oddly enough I was just making phone calls trying to look for some wool

anorac and kind of button up heavier weight tops and I knew whether wool was

was definitely the top of the list.

I had called, I think the voicemail said,

leave a text you maybe, and I had texted you,

you called me back, we started shooting the shit, and you were like,

hey, I'm gonna be in Wyoming in a couple weeks,

can I just swing by?

So yeah, it's pretty crazy, but yeah,

tell everybody about yourself in the business

because you are very well known in that world for sure.

Well first of all thanks very much for having me.

It's a big kick to be here, a beautiful place.

So I guess it's a classic story of one thing led to another.

You know, it goes, I've been hunting and fishing and doing things in the outdoors all my life,

but I never gave a thought to getting into the clothing business until I think it was 1999.

I bought it I bought a jacket. I really liked the jacket. I I placed an order for a bunch of stuff for my two boys and me and they said to me,

well in order this size you can be a dealer and I said I have no idea no interest in that.

I sounds terrible.
