What this site is

Wyoming Trading Post writes about the gear the American West runs on. Hand-tooled leather. Waxed canvas. Wool. Enamel. Steel that holds an edge. The guides cover what's worth buying, how to tell good construction from a good product photo, and how to keep a piece working for decades.

We don't sell anything ourselves. When a guide recommends a product, the link goes to a retailer, and some of those links earn us a commission. The disclosure page explains how that works.

Wyoming

Wyoming is where the horse is still a working animal. It's where the Bighorns butt up against the Cloud Peak Wilderness and an outfitter will spend six days packing you into camps nobody drives to. It's Butch Cassidy country, Tom Horn country, the country where hitched-horsehair bridles were braided inside the state penitentiary at Rawlins for forty years. The name carries that weight.
