And my own back for many years So I've tried to translate my experience with lightweight packing to the goats. Warning-I sometimes have crazy ideas lol! The longest trip with my 2 goats this year was 3 days.Personally I don't see any crazy idea's here.. My list is very similar, collapsible bucket, we use a low line and bring in stakes, we fly spray before we go out.
Some of the gear:
*Bucket collapsible: for goats- Cuben dog food/water dish by Bearpaw (works great, does hold water overnight)
(*Bucket collapsible: for horses: Stansport Utility Bucket Yellow)
*Highline & lead for goats: 1/4" Amsteel AS-78 (bit slippery with some stretch but it works)
*Premade continuous loop (for Prusik) in 7/64" Amsteel for highline from buttinasling.com
*Tree Savers for goat highline: Jacks R Better 60"
*Goat Muzzles: northwestpackgoats.com (my goats have a thing for bark in camp-need for LNT)
*Bug Spray
*Goat food/treats
*Scale, digital lightweight
*Sopris Rookie saddle without the extra flat pads
Goat First Aid Kit:
Toxiban Powder 1 large dose
Vet Wrap
Super Clot
It all makes sense to me!
Thank you for sharing.
Today we stroll the neighborhood, someday we'll climb mountains together..
