Horse packing--using horses (and sometimes mules) as a form of
conveyance for supplies and goods--was once a cornerstone of human
transportation. Filled with precisely drawn illustrations and
written instructions on the many types of required hitches,
cordage, ropes, splices, and knots, this practical guide expertly
covers all aspects of a formerly commonplace skill. It includes
fine explanations of general packing rules and background on pack
organization; records of endurance; the diseases that can strike
pack animals and how to avoid them; cargo slinging; and much more.
For anyone interested in the storied history of pack
transportation, or for those who still travel with pack animals and
want to do so safely and efficiently, this unique volume is a
necessity.
