Bring a couple goats. They will add 0 weight since they can walk themselves and can carry their own side dishes (I like mashed potatoes and peas), then you can butcher them when you get there.

Jingles,

That must be what our outfitter did a few years ago when we did a drop camp in the Pasayten. The outfitter was camped about a mile from us, and the day they were supposed to pick us up, they showed up late. We were supposed to get packed out first thing in the morning, instead we rode out that night in the dark. We didn't find out until the packer showed up that evening, that all their horses the night before had decided to head back to he corral at the trailhead. Apparently they knew that's where the food was.

Someone had to walk all the way out, which was about 15 miles, and bring all the horses back. Or maybe they did still have one horse, I can't remember. But it was sure a long day sitting around camp wondering if they were ever going to show up. I know another hunter camped near us ended up walking all the way out so he could make it to work the next day.   

That's how I met Varrelman.   Idabooner and I were riding back in the sawtooth when we intercepted a saddled and bridled mule, behind all of his stock thundering out.  We captured him and headed up over the hill to their camp.   He was sure happy to see us with his riding mule in tow.   Against his better judgement he allowed a dude to satisfy his lifelong dream of wrangling the stock.  The dude got bucked off from the mule and the herd headed south     Its a long hike in cowboyboots back to the truck.  Oh and those mountain critters that have done this awhile can mozy pretty good in hobbles.
