Mule Packer

We’re looking for applicants with previous experience packing and a strong work ethic, who don’t mind solitude and enjoy time spent in the saddle. Operations are staged at our Base Camp in the Swan Valley, and our backcountry camp is 14 miles up a mountain drainage. Packers often are on the trail 3 to 5 days a week, packing up to and back from the backcountry camp, making for 28 mile days. Packers are required to care for stock, maintain equipment and saddles, pack various items competently, interact with clients, and help around camp as needed. Applicants can expect to work long hours, 5 to 6 days a week. The season runs June through October and the salary is $2000-3000 per month/DOE (includes room and board) with an opportunity for tips. Current CPR and Wilderness First Aid preferred.
