Horse packing, Dutch oven cooking and respect for wild places at Backcountry Horsemen rendezvous

The Backcountry Horsemen of Missoula http://bchmt.org/wp/missoula/ hosted a summer rendezvous Saturday at the Blackfoot Clearwater Game Range to thank the community for supporting their work, and to teach visitors how to cook, camp and pack horses for backcountry trips.

About 40 people gathered with trailers carrying horses and camping gear, and sat in camp chairs while backcountry horsemen demonstrated proper crosscut sawing technique and maintenance, the best knots for horse packing, and trail etiquette.
