Pack Goat Back Country Gear List

Pack Goat Gear List

My goal of this is to provide a simple printable pack goat gear list you can hang in your garage to help you pack. Keep this list handy to look over and plan a well thought out pack goat back country gear list.  I like having one that I can physically and mentally go over after all the packing is done to quickly verify that I have not forgotten any essentials. There’s nothing worse than driving hours away or hiking days into the back country only to realize you’ve forgotten something important. In the worst case scenario, it can be dangerous.  So here it is, I’m sure I forgot a few things and feel free to add to this list! Here’s a helpful link to a printable version of this list: PackGoats Gear List pdf  For simplicity, the list is also copied below the article for reference as well.

Goat Gear

Let’s first speak to “Goat Gear”.  The Orange Screw is awesome for staking out goats individually.  The ground quality does matter and varies their effectiveness, however, they really work nicely in many situations.  Also, please make sure all your goats have a good collar with name and number identification on them…God forbid you ever loose a goat, but if you do, whoever finds them will call you first. A quality goat lead is a must, I keep mine wrapped around the saddle tree to easily tether goats anywhere, anytime. And lastly you are going to want a goat coat shell for your goat if the weather goes south. This goat coat not only is a rain shell but also doubles as a pannier cover that functions very nicely.  We will have a goat first aid kit in the near future. We are in the process of putting that together.

Now, I will also be doing a video on this list and breaking down that in detail about the gear I use and why.  Look for that in the future and make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel that will help you with all of your pack goat needs.  Packgoats.com YouTube
