Portable electric fences

[squeekieslayer]

hey guys.... looking into my options for a lightweight, portable/packable electric fence. I would probably be better off asking in a horse forum, but I know some of you guys run them for bears when backpacking. I always strive to keep my gear ultralight even when hunting on horses because i am a guilty guy that feels bad making them work harder than they have to.

Plan to graze my 2 horses in one with hobbles (too many long searches from wandering horses with only hobbles) and then highline them at night. If in bear country (ie everywhere i hunt up here) i would set it up around my tent as well.

any thought?
commercially available kits?
Home made options?

I found one that weighs around 2.5 lbs that I plan to take to Kodiak this fall.

We have used one- think it was called the Yellowjacket- left it at my buddies or i would check for you -works great on D batteries

The Speedrite AN 90 energizer that Counter assault uses is a good energizer. 6 D cell batteries give a good Zap when grounded well.
I am still looking for a good compact fence post though.
