Cole Hauser Can't Live Without These 6 Things

WHEN COLE HAUSER isn't breaking horses and cracking skulls as TV's baddest cowboy (he plays Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone), the 48-year-old actor is spending time with his family. Hauser is big on maintaining an active lifestyle; he gets his cardio in by hiking with his dogs, chucking the football with his kids, and cycling the Peloton alongside his wife.

Last year, drawing from the same passion that makes him such a dedicated actor and dad, Hauser founded Free Rein, a coffee company that embodies taking life by the horns. Hauser and his three co-founders, who are also close friends, sourced a coffee roaster in West Texas to produce a roster of grit-inspired flavors (Hauser's favorite is American Dirt). What truly sets Free Rein apart from other coffee brands, though, is Hauser's commitment to giving back a portion of profits to charities that support veterans (like the Special Operations Warrior Foundation), first responders, nurses, and teachers.

Here, Hauser shares the six essentials he likes to carry, from a Resitol cowboy hat to a Kiehls moisturizer.

Original Peloton Bike

My wife and I ride the Peloton,” Hauser says. “It’s great for workouts, especially when we can’t be outside.”

Free Rein Stanley Stay Hot French Press

Hauser loves joe so much he started his own company, Free Rein. His go-to is the American Dirt dark roast, often on the move in a Free Rein Stanley-made French press. “I knock back a few cups to get me going before a workout.”

See? Even (fictional) cowboys believe in skin care. “I use it to protect my skin from the sun during a long day outside.”

4X Dirt Road Cowboy Hat

Just like Rip, Hauser enjoys donning a cowboy hat. “I was born on a ranch, and the cowboy tradition is a big part of who I am.”

NCAA Composite Football

Dads play many different roles, including the occasional role of backyard QB. “When I’m home, I love to do dad things like throwing the football with my kids and getting outside with them.”
