He specializes in packing odd shaped and difficult loads; to include heavy communication equipment with 20 ft antennas in difficult terrain.

You will learn correct ways to assemble a load, pack, and handle a pack animal - and much more. As well as the differences of modern packing and U.S. Army / Cavalry tactics of the past. Hint- the U.S. Cavalry did not use Pack strings as we do today.
