evolution

I would like to point out that the image of the cowboy and wild west being the hot and dry southern states isn't that accurate.

The wild west was also Oregon country, now Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska.

In the latter four, even now, if you go too far into the wild unprepared they won't find you.

They're not called the goodlands.
- It's just called wilderness, looks beautiful, arguably more deadly.
  Parks in AZ on the border of Phoenix(for example) don't have notices that cars left in the lot will have immediate search and rescue operations started to find them at dusk. Parks on the northern edge of Vancouver do.
Into the wild
I see what you did there
Exactly, there's a whole bunch of "winter" cowboys in Montana and Wyoming, lol
props for RDR2 for outright beginning with cowboys in hip-deep snow
- You can have that weather in northern Arizona though.
  The closest thing we've had in a game to the temperate rainforests of the pacific northwest that a lot of the cowboys of the region had to fave would be the thick tropical jungles of Crysis and Far Cry.

That really needed some punctuation. A whole lot of it.

I've come to adopt a lack of punctuation at times to emphasize a certain mental state, one where cohesion and structure impede the tone.
- It really does evoke a sort of manic energy
Just imagine the JPEG artifacts are commas and periods.

The culture that king is from hasn't evolved a system with punctuation yet

I've found cowboy boots to be very slippery on snow or ice. This person's credibility is sinking fast...

And the leather soles get mushy...and the salt used to melt the ice absolutely shreds the leather just above the stitching when it dries out. Western boots suck in the snow, and it's a quick way to ruin them. Even rubber-soled ones like some of Ariat's don't last, but they're better on wet surfaces.
- It's kind of wild how tons of people in Alberta wear them considering the climate
Those are riding boots, or dress boots. They also make Western style boots with rugged soles for work. I have a pair and they're outstanding on all terrain, including snow. Here's an example:

- If you step in mud, wouldn't your boot slide off?
- That's some letterkenny shit rt
You must not have enough points in style or cool.

I would very much like to breed this person with Cunk to see what kind of child we end up with.

Cowboys are... prepared to exist outside - whatever could they have been thinking!? :-P

Seriously, each of those elements was intelligently designed for the purpose that cowboys had for them. I use many of those same elements myself, while people prepared only to sprint from car to indoors have a whole other thing going on.

- People in Montana do. Well, in their trucks, I don't remember any cars there. I usually take mine off, I'm too tall to wear it inside the car.

And I'm sure I would have laughed at that cowboy had I seen him while I was wearing actual winter clothes. People's brain just freeze come winter time and they become too dumb to dress properly.

The reverse of this is camels: they fitst evolved their adaptions to survive the cold, not the desert.

That isn't the reverse, it's the same deal - adaptations to one place turn out to be beneficial in another. Also, the desert IS cold at night, no?
- Arctic deserts are also a thing (e.g. Iceland). The similarities tell the whole story:
  Poor access to liquid water
  Need to insulate body from temperature extremes, wind
  Food sources are sporadically available at best
  Need to minimize contact with ground or insulate feet
  This is not to suggest that polar bears are similarly adapted to the Sahara. Rather, it's not a huge shift, but it's still a change.

Like a greentext...just made up BS. Really, the "cowboy" was the only one dressed appropriately for weather?

Nothing ever happens!*
^(*if you never leave your house)
And according to this person being dressed up for the cold is wearing clothes that are designed to be worn in warm weather. Dumb.
- Cowboy gear was outdoor working gear, this is completely believable if the guy was in actual work clothes.
  Y'all just city af.
- Not American but doesn't central America get cold as fuck at night? I would assume that's what cowboys dressed for since you can always remove clothes but you can't exactly create them from thin air at night.

I use caps for face protection from rain.
