How to Set Hunting Camp with Pack Goats

[@LittleLightRay]

I really loved that last phrase "we like to have this camp like we've never been here", that's awesome!

[@Aheitchoo]

Man thats a new perspective on bears. Thats cool

[@psor9983]

i love quick informational videos without and "fluff".

[@papa_squat]

You're right about the bear behaviour- biggest factor in bear presence can be human presence. I used to GPS tag bears for research and their most frequented locations in their large territories are where people leave food and they become less averse to conflict. Bears are so habitual that they literally walk in the previous bear footprints as opposed to a new path- I used to fake out bears into stepping into traps by creating a bear-like footprint pattern on the forest floor.

I am23 and ive been looking into hutning for a while now,( I live in canada). I watched about 10 of your videos so far just on random goat topics. You take well care of them and show them love too not just haul them around:) I will use pack goats but mostly just for pets because i am a animal lover but now i know what i can do with them, awesome. You are teaching me a lot, TY.

[@PackGoatscom]

You are most welcome. Cheers!

[@freedomartwork6950]

If I were a little younger, I'd love to be a Camp Jack at that camp! Dream job, for sure!

[@jameshurd8657]

What a good humble dude! I would love to hunt with you any day.

[@PackGoatscom]

James HURD 😋

[@slysphinx2372]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Marc. You definitely have a comfortable camp set-up, which directly translates to being able to stay out longer and hunt harder!

[@PackGoatscom]

sly sphinx 👊

[@skwildmustangs]

Super helpful!! I decided this is going to be my presentation topic for my last year in 4h pack goat. Having a visual representation of how an efficient camp should look will greatly impacts my complete presentation. Thank You much!!

[@stumettler7973]

New to your channel that being said you are a wealth of information. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Already spread the word and my dad is watching your videos as well.

[@frankcqIII]

Now I want a goat as a hiking buddy!

[@mamaAimEC]

This looks like so much fun! I never heard of hunting with goats until I came across your channel when trying to find ways to deal with a couple issues with my dairy goats. Going out on a trail with pack goats sounds amazing!

[@PackGoatscom]

AimeeCeline it is an absolute blast!!

[@mamaAimEC]

PackGoats.com I think I see pack goats in my future. I'll be watching & learning. You have a new enthusiast! I can't wait to get into this some day!

[@superdupergrover9857]

One thing I've learned from Red Cross training as a kid is that veterinary first aid kits are almost the same as human first aid. Might as well pack yourself a nice one.

[@jamesblack2624]

This looks great how exciting going hunting miles in the wilderness hunting and using the goats

[@kameronmickelson1666]

Thanks Mark! Another great video as always!

[@PackGoatscom]

Kameron Mickelson 😉

[@JohnSmith-yx8kf]

I've stayed in hotels that were less comfortable than your camp looks. Awesome.

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Great stuff thanks for sharing!

[@baseofthebighorns7784]

Very informative, thanks! I've always wondered what your camp looks like. Now I know!

[@PackGoatscom]

Base of the Bighorns Cool. Glad it was helpful.

[@kenmartin1211]

Amazing... Super Informative. You know what you are doing... Thank You..

[@topendadventures5247]

I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to thank me. Cheers.

[@pinemountainranchpackgoats7702]

What size containers are you using to fit inside the panniers? Nice video👍🏼

[@anachronisticon]

Why am I envious of someone spending hundreds of dollars to live like a homeless man? I don't know. But I am!

[@PackGoatscom]

😅👊❤️

[@janetsmith-velazquez3722]

I think the optional part makes a huge difference.

[@caseyarmstrong7064]

Hey Mark great videos. What kind of lower temperatures can the goats with stand. Thank you again

[@Patrick-uu5xg]

Interesting. Do you have to pack in food for the goats? Do thay ever run off?

[@harrybalzonya1173]

This is awesome!!

[@effeojnedib7208]

Man them goats are watching you as you walk around. lol That's cool. Nice bull rack you got !

[@PackGoatscom]

They think I’m a dork. (They are right)

[@troy4219]

Fun thanks for sharing.

[@Brian-vz7xe]

This Dude is brilliant, hunting guides get paid good money. Something I would do that is more efficient is pack in freeze dried food. Make it alot lighter.

[@PackGoatscom]

Brian you are right. A major portion of what we haul in is food. And we like real food. When I go light and fast and sleep on bulls then it’s less comfort, more freeze dried food and get in and out

[@noblelegrand331]

this is amazing

[@brandonlow1490]

At 2:40 WHAT ARE THOSE! camping crocs, lol

[@DaveGled]

New to your channel and love it. Appreciate your sharing your hunting camp with us too. How do you look after your goats and keep them safe from predators while you and your clients are out stalking elk?

[@joshuajackson8112]

How does that Safire tent hold up to good winds? Interested in that setup looks awesome

[@PackGoatscom]

It works incredible for that these were invented for arctic expeditions in crazy Highwinds

[@douglaschapman5587]

Have you ever had anyone at your camp before you on public land?? Just wondering cause you talked about twin around camp makes me think that is a old outfitters camp..and a preferred place to camp with livestock..

[@GoFindTreasure]

Great Videos!!!

[@labreeskarogers1102]

What kind of camp shower do you have? I have seen some at Walmart and they are cheap and don't last.

[@PackGoatscom]

I just use the backpacking bags. I heat water on the fire.

[@Slippinjimmy1221]

You know how to live life

[@GodsOath_com]

Question If you take down 4 bulls, yours and 3 other hunters, how does all the meat get carried out? Do you bring extra goats to carry the meat?

[@PackGoatscom]

Hopefully this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2e6qICohNqcmdk

[@Greyandgreenfeathers]

Leave it to me to think being a camp jack would be the best part lol

[@PackGoatscom]

that's awesome

[@thegreatoutdoors7340]

Only just found PackGoats.com this is great! Completely agree about being a Camp Jack. You’ve got to be able to run the basics. Would love to see a trip video from the “Camp Jacks” point of view. Like a day in the life of Camp Jack Dave (I hope he’s called Dave! Haha)

[@rupertmedford3901]

Next Level stuff there! How many pounds is Camp on how many goats?

[@PackGoatscom]

I think we had seven Packers on the trip if I remember right. We taken a pretty heavy camp we were facilitating a cameraman a camp helper and three hunters for a week in the woods eating real deal food. Plus this camp. I would guess we were around 300 pounds that we packed in. Almost 200 was food. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWbMlotvrqmSpbM

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Bro your videos are super helpful!!! I wish i.was there. Can you please touch on dealing with tics, and have you ever dealt with them

[@PackGoatscom]

I have been in heavy tick infested areas many times and as a general rule I have found they have completely left the goats alone. I do know that I have it others report that they’ve had issues with them but myself personally never in thousands of trail miles

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

@@PackGoatscom thank you, have you had to deal with them getting on you or your family, and if so how do you deal with that, and any helpful tips

[@zach3305]

I was wondering what you did to protect the goats while you are gone hunting. Leaving a guy behind makes sense

[@andrewsoldan6050]

one of the goats is trained in combat ;)

[@lazycat724]

So cool

[@gjcascade652]

Excellent info. So how heavy is your sleeping bag? And where do you get the liners for them? As well as the cot you have.

[@PackGoatscom]

Gina Janelli I use a lot of 10 degree bags. Cot is Helinox. I don’t use liners.

[@867goose]

pretty sweet man... I'm 53 and tired of hauling on my back...

[@PackGoatscom]

@@867goose I get it. Every year it all gets a touch harder 😁

[@SLFYSH]

Do you have to do anything when the weather turns colder at altitude to keep your goats warm? I wouldn’t imagine the altitude at home has prompted your goats to get a heavier coat yet.

[@PackGoatscom]

SLFYSH I have a video on this same channel about goat coats (goat shell). Watch that one.

[@dragonlordskater5028]

I never hunt and don't own goats. But here I am

[@roguerader]

As usual, very well done Marc, how do I enroll for one of these hunting trips?

[@PackGoatscom]

My other company Top End Adventures is here I do all that. topendadventures.com

[@michaelcollins6851]

How much meat can you haul out once you pack back up?

[@PackGoatscom]

My biggest packers can haul 70lbs.

[@nolanreach2088]

Interesting

[@ReevesBelieves]

You should find a way to get in touch with Joe Rogan.

[@PackGoatscom]

I need guys like you to keep pounding him with messages saying I need to be on his show. I’m not quite sure how to bridge that gap. Just not quite connected enough

[@Kcg99]

Why does everybody who elk hunts “run” _______? Is there a law prohibiting the word use?

[@Swindysux]

I wanna see more trail action (: would merciless hate it if you mounted a GoPro on his horns? Goats eye view and plus nobody will bother the camera goat

[@PackGoatscom]

wishbit fun. I’ll work on that.

[@StevesUnemploymentPIN]

Goat-cam!
