I'd get a hold of your local Backcountry Horseman Chapter, they usually put on a packing clinic and they will have members more then happy to show you and let you tag along on some rides.  if you were closer to the Eastside I would suggest the North Idaho Saddle Mule Club, they do a packing clinic and are always willing to take a guy out.

Buy Smoke Elser's book "Packing in on Horses and Mules".  Read it front to back, back to front, inside to out and outside to in.  It is a phenomenal resource.

Sas and I put on a one day "Get Started' packing clinic each year.  It is the last Saturday in April.  Look at our outdated website for more information.  It is set up for guys just like you.   Western Life Outfitters.  www.westernlifeoutfitters.com
