Packin' In on Mules and Horses by Smoke Elser & Bill Brown For those who yearn to pack in the wilderness country of the West, either on their own mules and horses or those of a professional packer, here is a book that takes the mystery out of back country packstring travel. By teaching you the tricks of the trade, professional outfitter Smoke Elser shows how your trip will be easier and more enjoyable by knowing more about the animals used, and why and how they carry their loads as they do. Whether you're an expert or a dude, Smoke's packing system will get you into and out of the back country safely and efficiently.

This 158-page softcover is in like-new condition with all pages crisp, clean, and sturdily bound; even the cover is nice and smooth, with just a lightly curled corner. I have photographed randomly selected two-page spreads from the book to give you an idea of its contents.
