One of the hardest challenges for guys wanting to get a ranch job is the lack of experience or skills they possess to work on one. Most employers for ranches want a candidate to have at a minimum of 2 years experience. In this video I go over some ideas to help you gain this experience and skills to help improve your hireability.

Here's another homework assignment from school. We were supposed to do an interview with somebody who dayworks. So I picked my good buddy Andy. Andy started out cowboying from nothing (as you'll learn in the video). But he had the passion, drive, and determination (along with being blessed with some amazing mentors), to make to where he is today. And his insights / experiences were perfect for what my channel's geared towards: the newbie. The biggest take away I'd really like guys to get from this interview, is that, the path may seem insurmountable, with the skill requirements, experience, gear, and other things. But like Andy's story, if he can do it, so can you!

Well, I got fired... All my buddies said they were gonna do it. Everything this year was pointing to it, but I just didn't want to believe it... So, since I like to do videos on stuff thats current in my life... Here's the second part to my video on red flags when searching for a ranch job. None of these red flags are absolute. So keep that in mind. But they do come from my own personal experience and those of the guys I've worked with over the years. Personally, I'm doing better. I found a place for my horse, was homeless there for a while, I found a job in town, and I'm doing better. I'll make an update video at sometime on my life. But I still plan on still making videos for this channel.

I went hiking took you guys with me to talk about why someone would want to work on a ranch; and discussed some of the pros and cons I thought of.
