Barebones founder Robert Workman grew up doing cattle drives on his family’s ranch. Even as a young boy who had just learned to ride, he’d set out at dawn to avoid the heat of the day and drive cattle down the path. At that hour, the cattle moved slow as cattle do. The Chuck Wagons would leave camp at the same time and set up where they estimated the drivers would stop for the day. At the end of the drive, all hot and dirty and bone-weary, Robert and his companions would sit down for a meal that tasted like heaven—a meal cooked in well seasoned cast iron.
