You know, some Wyoming stereotypes are true. We’re hard workers, we’re independent, and whether we live in the city or off the grid, we’ve got some things in common. If you’ve lived here long enough, your house is sure to be home to the following items:
- Whiskey.

- Some sort of firearm.

- Well worn work boots.
Flicker / Alister Coyne Almost everyone out here has a favorite brand of boots, and we’ll wear them until they’re talking back to us.
- Hand-tied flies.

- Jerky!

- Arrowheads you found on a hike.

- Some Brown & Gold
