This is Llama Packer on the
job training and the best way to qualify for our rental program. These trips
are for more experienced backcountry travelers that have their own equipment
and want to gain experience packing with llamas. Everyone brings their own
supplies (subject to weight and size restrictions; 40 lbs contained in 4 each
10 x 20 stuff sacks. We can supply 4 gallon square buckets that fit our
panniers in place of the stuff sacks.) and shares the camp chores. We will be
more involved in the hows and whys of llama packing, and we will be using
younger llamas that are expanding their trail experience. Everyone will be
paired with a llama and our goal is to develop a life long willing companion
that lives to pack and will go through hell when asked. To accomplish this it
is important to build a foundation of positive experiences. We don't want to
push any mental or physical limits. The general pace of the trip may need to be
slower and we want to find particularly lush camp sights.
Of course these trips are not all work and no play.
We will be taking plenty of time to explore and test the fishing possibilities
(perhaps several times a day).
Rates: $70.00 per day, children 12 and under
½ price, subject to ½ weight and size limit.
