The promotores, Lalo and Ignacio, report, "Lots of thanks for the 2 pairs of work boots. They are very grateful as always they are so happy with they receive their supplies and it always a joy being able to have conversations with them." But they also warn about how rural the open range is where they meet the sheepherders, "Very cold and in the middle of nowhere you don't know where to navigate. You will got lost very far for anything, even gas staitons so gotta stay prepared." The workers tell Ignacio and Lalo that they are very far away from the stores so supplies they bring to the mobile homes is very helpful, especially the winter boots and socks.
