"N" is nippiness

Because Ennis was shivering from the nippiness of the mountain air, he accepted Jack's invitation to sleep in the tent.

"O" is opprobrious

"In such isolated high country, away from opprobrious comment and watchful eyes, I thought it would be plausible for the characters to get into a sexual situation.  That's nothing new or out of the ordinary; livestock workers have a blunt and full understanding of the sexual behaviors of man and beast."

"S" is Stoutamire's

A few weeks later on the Saturday he threw all Stoutamire's dirty horse blankets into the back of his pickup and took them down to the Quik Stop Car Wash to turn the high-pressure spray on them.

"U" is unforgiving

When Ennis found out about Jack going to Mexico, he became enraged and almost unforgiving.

"Sometime in early 1997 the story took shape.  One night in a bar upstate I had noticed an older ranch hand, maybe in his late sixties, obviously short on the world's luxury goods...."

Jack and Ennis had to carry all their camping accoutrements with them.
