Why Rent Pack Llamas

Many people enjoy spending time in the backcountry with friends and family. However, because of the physical stress required to carry a heavy backpack, some people aren’t able to do this. Many people have been backpacking for years but are tired of carrying around a heavy pack. Whether you are hiking for the day, spending multiple nights on the mountain, or wanting to hike in to your favorite fishing/hunting spot, llamas will make getting into the backcountry much easier and more enjoyable.

Llamas are perfect if you are:

• • Wanting to explore the backcountry and see new places
  • Wanting to hike faster, longer, and further
  • Looking to get into the backcountry with much less work
  • Want to carry more gear
  • Wanting to eat better food while camping
  • A hunter wanting to hike further from the trailhead to avoid other hunters
  • Looking to fish new lakes and streams that are hard to get to
  • Wanting to carry more water into areas that hold little or no natural water resources

Why llamas are ideal for packing:

• • Eat and drink roughly 10% the intake of a horse or mule (allows you to camp in areas with limited feed and water)
  • Low maintenance in camp (Stake them out and leave them for the day. Move them to a new spot each day.)
  • They can go extended periods without drinking water (depending on the weather)
  • Soft, padded hoof which lowers impact on the trail and vegetation, and gives them great traction.
  • Very strong and can carry roughly 1/4 of their body weight (60-80lbs) in any terrain
  • Much safer and easier to handle than horses
  • Very quiet when walking (good for hunting)
  • Great with younger kids and older people
  • They don’t spoke around dead big game
