When the Empire pushes you across the line… it’s time to steal the Empire’s cattle.
From the Highlander bandit hero Rob Roy MacGregor to the Apache renegade Geronimo rampaging across northern Mexico, there’s a long and storied history of Rustling as Resistance. And the professional rustler needs a running iron — a simple, straightforward tool used to re-write — “run” — a brand in smoke and fire and make it your own.

Time to break out the Running Iron.
