About this listen

Nobody builds a ranch without screwing a few things up first.

In this episode of the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast, we get honest about the mistakes we made during our first year of operations — the ones that shaped how we work today, and a few that almost put us in the hospital.

We talk about learning things the hard way, why experience matters more than perfection, and how ranch life doesn't come with a manual. Along the way, we recap last week on the ranch, including winter storm chaos, mulching jobs, busted equipment, and why OSHA would probably hate us.

Things take a turn when we dive into a framing nail gun incident that definitely wasn't "almost" an accident, a Carhartt jacket that caught on fire, and how one bad decision can go sideways real fast. There's also plenty of ranch humor, arguments over jeans, laundry habits, Pop-Tarts, and why nothing gets done unless you show up ready to work.

This episode is a reminder that standards are built through experience — not getting everything right the first time.

Real horses.
Real ranch.
Real talk.
