Final adjustments

Recommended Posts

One of my little ponies got an early Christmas present, a new Decker pack saddle.

Mike and I made some britchens adjustments before taking it for a trial run before next week's pack hunt.

How little is that pony? In boots, Mike (pictured)is probably close to 6'3" if that helps.

Side note; if Mike invites you out to ride mules, best to turn off cell phone in advance.

well when you want him to carry some real heavy stuff - let me know i'll give him a try - lol

 

need a different saddle though - and a ladder

 

make for packing out those big bundles of meat a whole lot easier - plus all the gear needed on a pack hunt

I've gotten older and spoiled, like having along all the accoutrements. Wrapping up like a giant gordita in a bedroll on the ground has lost its romance.

stuffed up in a bag and wrapped in a canvas tarp isn't as desirable as it once was - lol

 

been there done that - more than once - in all kinds of weather - never worse for wear either

Last time I slept on the ground I woke up to a skunk doing a handstand all up in my face. Dog got sprayed the day before and was egging him on to spray me too.

Been there done that. Woke up to 2 skunks fighting over chicken bones from the night before about 3' from me. Never kept so still in my life until they rolled out of the fire pit where the bones were and then never moved so fast.

Ha-ha, good story.

 

Skunks were rampaging camp. Chewed into feed bags and going through everything

 

All the guys on this trip were so exhausted and hung over we just dealt with the pooch. Took turns washing him with Dawn down in the creek.
