About this listen

Nathan Putnam of Putnam Pack Coats talks about raising and training pack goats, designing lightweight aluminum saddles and panniers, and tailoring gear for backcountry hunters. He explains breed choices, horn care and heat management, and the custom approach behind his equipment.

The episode also shares vivid backcountry stories — hounds, bear encounters, GPS tracking and the risks of deep wilderness work — and offers practical resources for beginners (North American Pack Goat Association and PutnamPackCoats.com).
