    #253 Christine Koeppen - Western Way of Life
    Apr 11 2026

    Christine Koeppen - is a native Coloradan, mother, barrel racer, hunter, and a strong advocate for protecting the Western way of life she was raised in and now passes on. She has dedicated her life, education, and career to agriculture and conservation, firmly believing that the two must flourish together. Her roots are in horses. She came up in the barrel racing world, where she developed grit, timing, and a deep understanding of partnership in the arena—lessons that carried into every aspect of her life. That foundation shaped her perspective on animals, land, and work ethic. She eventually made her way to Texas on the back of a barrel horse, where she was first introduced to hounds. In them, she recognized the same spark she had seen in a young colt learning to follow a cow or turn a barrel. Just as a good horse comes alive when asked to do what it was born to do, hounds come alive when released on a fresh track. For her, running hounds is not about the kill—it is about the challenge, conservation, and the bond between dog, handler, and rugged country. It is also where she has learned some of her most meaningful and hard-earned lessons, alongside her family. Professionally, Christine serves as a veteran Account Manager for The Fence Post and Equine Brand Manager for Cowgirl Magazine. In these roles, she partners with brands, producers, and horsemen to elevate the voices of agriculture and the equine industry. Her work is grounded in supporting the people, businesses, and traditions that sustain this way of life. She and her family are building a life their boys can carry forward—one rooted in hard work, stewardship, and respect for tradition. In 2024, she joined Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management in the effort to protect science-based wildlife management in Colorado, reflecting her belief that conservation requires active participation.

    This life is part of her legacy, and she stands for it without hesitation.

    Mar 21 2026

    Joe Gauvain - is an active-duty Chief in the United States Coast Guard and the co-founder of Drifter Hydration, an innovative hydration system built for the toughest environments on earth. Throughout his Coast Guard career, Joe has been stationed in multiple locations around the globe, spending much of his service in the rugged, unforgiving terrain & seas of the northwest and Alaska, where resilience, preparedness, and durability are not optional—they’re survival. An avid outdoorsman and dedicated backcountry hunter, Joe has spent years pushing deep into remote wilderness, often hunting animals at high altitude in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Through those experiences, he repeatedly encountered the limitations and failures of traditional hydration systems used by hunters, mountaineers, and expedition travelers. Drawing from his operational experience in the Coast Guard and countless days in the backcountry, Joe helped develop what would become the Drifter Hydration System—a rugged, durable alternative to the traditional water bladder. Built to withstand extreme environments, the system has quickly become a trusted tool for serious backcountry hunters, mountaineers, and outdoor athletes who demand reliability when they’re far from civilization. Joe Gauvain joins Bobby Marshall in studio on The Mountain Side Podcast to talk about life in the Coast Guard & what led him to join the US Coast Guard, operating in Alaska, backcountry hunting, innovation in the outdoor industry, and how hard-earned lessons in the wild helped shape a product that’s redefining hydration for those who truly like to get after it.
