MULE COUNTRY: The Sawtooth Wilderness (S1 EP7)

We struck out on a spur of the moment trip with Clyde and Reata to explore the Sawtooth Wilderness in Idaho. We've been wanting to explore this country for a while and this will be the first of many trips into this amazing and rugged wilderness. Come along as we ride out to find a high lake! The views were breathtaking along the way.

Thank you so much!! ☺️☺️

[@yragtgov]

Every time I go out on pack trip I tell myself be careful, These animals are wild by nature... they keep me humble, mules are so smart.

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s really true! You never know when something crazy can happen with livestock.

[@steventhomas8964]

Beautiful. Plus all the little narrations and info about the wildlife and such is great!

Such gorgeous country back in there. I could go back in there and definitely spend some major time.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Us too! That country is awesome! I’m surprised it’s not more crowded

@@cjspencer5396 awesome!! That’s super exciting! I saw a picture of a dandy bull that came out of that country last September 😁

[@jeffwilcher3333]

I hunted the Sawtooth Mtns a few years back .. killed a 5x5 bull .. that was near Stanley ,Idaho .. I rode a big 17 hand gaited molly mule on that trip .. a far pull from NE Oklahoma.. about 32 hrs I believe .. great video .. keep up the good work. Onward and Upward is the Watchword..

[@MTN_BUILT]

Oh that’s awesome! What a memorable trip that must have been 😊 That country is so beautiful, and to get to hunt up there in the fall must have been incredible!

[@goldilocks913]

Oh how beautiful! I’d so love to have a chance to visit there . Much love from the U.K.

Magnificent view great video thanks so what'd you have for lunch do cellphones work good up there. And I wanted to ask Jason if he wouldn't mind telling me does he carry a rifle pistol up there you all keep it up your doing good and looking forward to the next one bye kray

[@MTN_BUILT]

Hey! This is Jason 😊 I actually didn’t have my pistol on this ride, but I generally do. We had crackers and protein bars for lunch for this ride 😊

[@alberta1980]

I usually loosen up the breast collar when I let the horses graze. Gives them more room on their neck and doesn’t stretch out the breast collar. Thank you for a great video and taking us along.

[@MTN_BUILT]

That's a really good idea! Probably much more comfortable :)

[@myopinion1991]

Loving video

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks for taking time to watch and thank you for the nice comment! 😊

[@frankphillips9372]

I stumbled onto your videos on accident, enjoyed watching. You have some nice mules. I also live in Idaho and have a pen full of mules. Myself and a group of mule riders ride the Sawtooth's, The Frank, Selway and others. You picked a great place to ride. If you ever need info or want to expand into different types of mule riding touch back, we have done it all. Keep riding.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Oh wow! That’s awesome! We absolutely love riding our mules in this country… they’re still fairly green, but they’re doing well enough that we’re finally able to enjoy most our rides lol We’d love to get in touch with you! If you have instagram, and want to reach out, that would be awesome! (We try not to share too much personal info on here) Our instagram is just mountain_built_mules 😊

[@muleskinner4495]

Another great video, y’all are doing a great job!!

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! Alyssa has been putting a ton of effort into editing and she’s getting better (and faster) every time 😊😊

[@yragtgov]

Drove from Boise up along the ST to Samon ID. Absolutely beautiful. Would love to do it again someday. Also a mule skinner from Utah. Lots of pacing and riding in the Unitas and Grey's river areas of Wyoming.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Oh that’s really cool! Yeah, this country up here is really beautiful! 😊 We would love to explore that country in the Uintas some day, the pictures and Google Earth sure look incredible!

What is The advantage off ridning mules on a trip like this ? There is no mules where I live but there is something about Them i love when seen Them BR Lars

[@MTN_BUILT]

We just love them! On this particular trail there really isn’t an advantage over horses. But on steep rocky stuff they tend to pick their way a bit more carefully in general.

[@jumpinggazellerathe8733]

Awesome video as usual, and that view was beautiful! Id love to see a video about what gear y'all use for your trips

Question: a large group of mule riders are headed to South Dakota from Michigan in September and I see that one of your sponsors is Standlee. I wanted to buy some certified weed free hay to take on the trip but their compressed bales are not marked as such. Do you know if they are weed free or if they are allowed in the national parks? I see that you use them (French Creek) Can you help with some advice on this? Thanks much.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks for reaching out! That’s great that you guys get to do a trip to the Black Hills with your mules 😊 Super good question- Standlee sells certified as well as non-certified hay and the certified bales will have yellow straps on them and they’ll say that they’re “certified weed free.” And they generally cost a little more. We’ve been to feed stores where they only sell the uncertified bales. Thankfully our local store has both 😊 All the parks we’ve been to do require weed free hay. Hopefully this helps and hopefully your trip goes great! We’re excited for you! Thanks again for reaching out 😊

[@dogmom7698]

@@MTN_BUILT that’s great to know and helps so much! I will ask my local store to order the weed free and see if they can get it before we have to leave. One store had the pellets that were certified weed free but my mules don’t like to eat things they aren’t familiar with. Seriously picky mules!

[@eriks4974]

Drones in the wilderness?

[@MTN_BUILT]

Super good question! Not quite though... we put it away before the boundary :)

[@bowhunter4954]

Are you guys new to mules ?

[@MTN_BUILT]

Relatively 😊 We got our first one a few years ago. Alyssa has been around horses her whole life, but these are our first long-ears 😊
