We offer a 1 week recreational mule packing school in July and August. Come learn to pack and have a great time packing in the Selway wilderness. Great food, meet some new friends and learn the dying art of packing mules and horses.
I am retiring and planning on doing some long range packing. In planning the feed factor makes it difficult. My people say an average horse/mule can carry 200 pounds. Some people make referrence to 20%. When I do some calculations on amount of feed I need for 7 days my pack weight requirements get high. So I was wondering what is the most you have packed pounds/percent. I understand that if you exceed 200lbs/20% you have to be careful. Also I have found this @t and would appreciate your view on its weight guidelines. It isn't something from the 1800s it is up to date and was used in Afganistan.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Jesiah Samson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
+Justin Gammon 20% is just what I’ve heard but it makes sense to me. If you got a 1000 lb mule that’d be 200 lbs of gear. Horses are heavier so they can carry a rider over 200 plus some gear. I think I’m doing the math correct here
Difference between a rider that can ride and shift and balance as needed vs the dead weight of a load. that assumes the rider know how to ride however@@justingammon1163
