Good stuff, I did this too.
After reading about Townie's Northern BC exploits, I made a 1 month long solo sheep hunt in the early 80's
Much of the Alaska highway was unpaved, Ft Nelson was pretty rough then .
Stone Sheep were plentiful once a hunter was a days distance from Alaska Highway.
I returned later on with other hunter and worked for an Outfitter one season.
Yeah, a horseman needs to know knots and rigging.
A one man diamond hitch, a box hitch, a bowline, are the minimum to get by. We use Sawbuck packsaddles, even today
Some horseshoeing ability is a must, the fronts on the pack horses can be a #4. Draft cross types.
I still wear wool, it is essential...topped with a felt hat.
Don't forget the 30/06.
