Their power plant converts biomass to energy and over the course of their service life, they are largely self repairing.

[@slaplapdog]

@@yagami1134 I don't think the goat/big dog niche is active combat, but rather the trecks in between. A robot would be more robust than a goat. Damage to it would probably be more than could be fixed in the field or easily ignored. Goats would be squishy by comparison, but way cheaper and a wrecked goat could become a hearty meal. If you can't fix your expensive pack robot in the field, your gonna have to abandon it.

I had to pause this video as soon as you spoke that vital piece of life's advice: "earn time, not money". You put into few words what I've been trying to do all my life. My sons have the same philosophy; oddly my daughter doesn't and works 60 or more hours a week. My sons and I want to work to earn enough so we can have time to do what we want. I've said it many times, "I don't live to work, I work to live." Living below my means has given me ample opportunity to spend time doing things I love: hiking, boating, fishing, camping, gardening. We have our own herd of goats. I've always wanted to try them out as pack animals. While I knew goat's milk was good for humans, I didn't know it was that good. Thanks for the wonderful images. You travel in beautiful country.

5 am here, been watching mark for a year since we got out first goats. My husband first saw a goat on a neighbors farm and convinced me to add a few to our homestead. Since then i have found goats to be the perfect pet and super easy to train and care for. Mark has convinced me, i may end up only owning goats as they can provide milk and meat for free or super cheap hay at least in comparison to other feed. Pigs can be free if you have space and ability to rotate them through seasonally grown fields. Horses and cows require special feed and hay and many acres. Being such big animals, they eat a lot. When it comes to packing, not needing to carry hay on you for the trip is huge. Being smaller goats that are more agile with toes instead of hooves they can navigate through areas a horse can't.

[@littlelomaricafarm7302]

I think his preference towards goats is more one of convenience than an actual "like" for them. He chooses to spend 1/2 a year, or more, in areas that are hard to keep a dog, therefore, to lighten his burden, he sought out a four-legged companion that was naturally built for that lifestyle. Dogs have other purposes, and being a pack animal is not one of them. Aside from that, much props to him for living the life he chooses to live, and not trying to adjust his life around his "job".

Anyone else feeling a lot of love for these amazing goats?

[@anniokli1603]

Love this video. I appreciate your respect for the elk you shot for food. Goats are incredible animals. I have a dairy goat. The cats dog chickens and pigs all love goat milk. It can save any baby that has lost it's mother too young! I have been wanting to do this for some time. Also, train my goat to pull a cart if hiking becomes too diffucult! I have packed my goat around the yard. She took to it no problem. Where do you get your packing supplies. I agree goats are very low maintenance. I have only camped with horses. Tie out with highlines. Graze with hobbles. Experienced horses do not usually run from danger they stay with the herd or leader. Yes they are higher maintenance but carry much more weight and are much quieter than goats. They would definitely be a plus getting that elk back to camp! If you haven't seen it yet, please watch War Horse

I miss true nature programs. That said, this is so much more than that. Prepper mindset using tools and animals as tools to achieve, recreate, survive. Absolute great production and content 👌

[@mosquitoskeet2189]

I love how in every authentic bow hunter video, they ALWAYS have the same exhilaration after a perfect shot! That moment from before you make your shot to right after you guys release! I want to feel that some day.

Goat prices are gonna go nothing but up - invest now! 😂👍

Did you even watch the video? They're not befriended for capital gain.

If you raise them properly or buy a trained/manered goat, that wont be an issue

[@wilsoncalhoun]

Another thing about horses, and I say this as someone who likes them, is that a horse will generally choose any other nearby horse over you. If you're in a group of horses and they decide to break left, you're going left unless you've got the muscle and familiarity to wrestle your mount's head in a different direction, and even then it's going to be a struggle to keep your horse from rejoining the larger herd until you get far enough away from them.

[@Alsayid]

"Embrace the suck" It's been a while since I heard that term. I like it. There's a zen quality to it.

[@7eamGhast]

I don't know much about hunting, but I do know God made man to do it and anyone who's teaching and preaches God deserves a sub. Subbed.

[@davelambardo6464]

I remember reading an article when I was 16 about using goats for hunting pack animals! That was 35 years ago! I always wanted to get a string of them together!

[@erikfritz8040]

As a fellow hunter of the back country and public land user I just want to say I really liked this video and was motivated by it. My 2 cents on the matter is only going to be that people interested in doing this(myself included), should heed the advise of local biologists and fish wildlife parks rangers in regards to disease transmission to Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats. These animals are hyper susceptible. Otherwise, awesome idea, great looking goat tack, and unbeatable lease on life! Cheers!

[@jsdunsmore]

Most certainly has made me rethink goat ownership. Brilliant thinking. Love this video.

[@m00nmanners]

First time seeing you. Changed my outlook of back country hunting. I raise goats for meat and milk but pack animal? I love it. Thanks for this

[@chuckclark6162]

The prayer from 1:24-1:42 puts it all in focus. God is who we should all live for.

Very cool! I have alpine goats. I absolutely love them! Such amazing creatures😊. So good to watch!!

[@justintime8793]

Dogs helped us hunt and find food when we did not have food. Great video. Great idea on the goats and great video.

[@Lord_Juvens]

I don't personally eat meat anymore as I can't responsibly get acces to it. I appreciate the respect you show and dang your goats are dope! Thanks for the vid!

[@thenickfoxx]

that's amazing how they will just follow him like that. I live in Canmore Alberta in the Bow Valley and watching those mountain goats scale the rock faces in crazy. I know these arent mountain goats but these guys can really be brought anywhere and will be able to navigate the terrain. Really intriguing video here.

hate to tell you guys this but proto indo eurpoeans figured this out between 4500 BC to 2500 BC, that's why they became domesticated. but good on this guy brining back the lost art.

[@onedirection3510]

This is so interesting! I’d have thought goats would be stubborn like mules. They seem so docile which is great.

[@daydreamerprod]

This was so compelling of a reason to keep at least 3-4 happy goats on the homestead for some dope yearly hiking buddies and long haulers!
