Description

Sketches from the Ranch: A Montana MemoirIn 1892 a stocky Danish immigrant named Magnus Jensen rode into south central Montana. He liked what he saw and staked his future on the ranch he would carve out there. Today, Dan Aadland and his wife, Emily, live on the ranch built by Jensen, Emily's grandfather. More than a century has passed, but the nature of ranching in Montana is little changed. Sensitive to the timelessness of the land, author Aadland approaches his ranching life as Thoreau

In 1892 a stocky Danish immigrant named Magnus Jensen rode into south-central Montana. He liked what he saw and staked his future on the ranch he would carve out there. Today, Dan Aadland and his wife, Emily, live on the ranch built by Jensen, Emily's grandfather. More than a century has passed, but the nature of ranching in Montana is little changed. Sensitive to the timelessness of the land, author Aadland approaches his ranching life as Thoreau approached life at Walden Pond. In Sketches from the Ranch, Aadland brings ranching to life within the framework of one recent year. In simple but moving prose, he evokes the harsh beauty of the West, writing with as much elegance about breaking a colt as he does about the inner lives of cattle, the way his pickup handles in the snow, or how the relationship between a man and his horse often defines a good day on the ranch. Beautifully illustrated and lovingly told, Sketches from the Ranch bears poetic witness to the myth and reality that are the West.

Works well
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I weigh 256 lbs. I have a lot of crevices that overlap each other. I also run 2-3 miles 3 times a week and about 5-6 miles on Saturdays. My Saturday miles will continue to increase. All that to say my original deodorant didn't do much to stave off my body odor. It also wasn't an all over deodorant. I'm always so stinky after my runs. I got this deodorant on a Friday so I used it for my Saturday long run. It was also very hot out that day. The high was 103° and it was almost 90° by 9:30 am. I ran and I sweat profusely. I got home after my 4.5 mile run and I obviously had a little body odor but it wasn't so bad. My daughter said at worst I just smell like I've been outside for a long time but it wasn't horrible like usual. That same day I showered and reapplied the deodorant, and went on a 2 mile walk in 100°. Today was a 2.5 mile run and I don't smell myself like usual. I feel comfortable not showering since I have a workout at lunch time as well. It also doesn't break me out like most deodorants do because there's no aluminum which is a big deal for me because when I get rashes from wearing aluminum deodorant I can't wear deodorant until it's gone and no one wants that. Anyhoo it's an easy application. Just squirt a little on two fingers and apply to your pits and crevices. It's got the texture and consistency of lotion. It keeps me smelling decent after sweating. I know someone said theirs had a sour milk smell and I think that probably has more to do with their body odor composition and less about the deodorant.

Deo
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Works well! Helps with odor. Has the classic strange body deo scent sort of like Lume, so if you don't like that this product probably won't be for you. The actual scent of rose and raspberry is nice!

Good product
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like this. Only need a small amount. I first tried Lume, but that smells like vomit. This smells so much better and lasts well. I will buy again. I use under b00bies and between legs for chafing. It helps.
