Thank you everyone for your responses! I was pretty much sold on it and now I am definitely sold! Hard part now is just deciding between the VP9 and VP9SK from all the research and reviews I have went over the SK is just smaller and compact but still can be used like the full size VP9 so they...
I am not a professional and I definitely do see the benefit in seeking out one, but also do not forget nature is medicine! Try going on a family hike once a month being outside and bonding is MEDICINE ALONE. There is actual scientific studies showing being outside is good for mental health and...
As pack goat owners this often comes up. I encourage everyone to listen to this podcast if you have some time, or ever pondered this issue. We break down the research, studies, and science behind the complex issue. Domestic sheep have been lumped with goats in A LOT of media articles/coverage...
Hey all you cool cats and kittens!
Just dropping in to let all those who are interested in pack goats, or have questions there is an awesome organization you can join today and support that was found on the basis of keeping goat packing alive, and spreading awareness and education. You can...
As soon as you get them at as young at a few weeks old! We hiked around our property or when we did take backpacking trips that summer the babies came along. Its how they learn to follow you. That starts immediately and you want to make a point of trying to walk with them as much as you want to...

Give a look into the article I did about it and see if it fits your needs. So awesome you are including your daughter as well! They sure love it our son is already asking to go camping aka "backpacking"... we gotta wait for the snow to clear up some!

It’s really been a game changer for us. We not only use it backpacking but we also use it at the ranch when we are working cattier just a lot easier to throw them on your back in a farmer carrier. I don’t really care for the frame on backpacking trips it digs into my back on long weighted down...
Prior to having kids my husband and I spent a majority of our time backpacking, scouting, or hunting. Now we have two kids a eight month old little girl, and a three year old boy. I would be lying if before we had our first child, our son, I didn't question whether we would be able to get out...
