Hello Wordman
I think we have a similar "Itch" I do have 38+ years of camp experience with horses.
Just now having got into goat packing, I can see taking a couple pack goats on a Walkabout. Were I could NOT take a horse.
There have been several people that have made "Treks" around the USA with horses/mules.
I have done over 500 miles with a team and wagon myself.
My idea ( A Goat Walkabout to both Bring Pack Goats attention but also bring attention to the homeless)
I know because I help with a homeless people "Dog" project that supplies dog food for the homeless that do have dogs with them. A goat can survive on the weeds and brush around many of the homeless camps I have been in.
A Nanny in milk would feed 3-4 people and still carry a light pack. Better than pushing a shopping cart.
The other side benefit is almost no were even in metro areas are one or two goats "restricted" the laws on the books just say they have to be "under control" like a dog. Plus imagine sitting on a corner with a goat on a rope pan handling.
You will get attention./"Donations"
Happy Trails
You do need 2 goats.
