    Packing with llamas

    You really can't stress this enough with smaller pack animals. With a horse/mule you have slightly more conditioning leeway just because of their sheer size, but the smaller you get, the more the conditioning becomes a important factor. Also all the desentizatation and trust that is built during...

    Horse Hunting Solo

    I'll throw in the plug for burros too. Extremely affordable, safe, and easy keepers. Really cool history and hertiage with them in the west as well. Feels like your continuing on a tradition of the blue collar miners and explorers that prospected, hunted, and traveled all over. If your a former...

    Donkey Packing

    Donkey Packing

    Depending on the cooler brand that could work out okay. If they are too cheap the straps/buckles could wear or be broken if they bump a tree. Also watch so that the edge of the cooler doen't start to dig into the donk.

    Donkey Packing

    I'm working on getting some more videos up on a burro I'm training for the backcountry this year. Got one from the BLM TIP program this spring and I'll use him on a OTC elk hunt this fall. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmTwzqcsfc5uLL8Q6wjxDWQ
